@kWhynot, I love your DIY summary here, and also your choice of carbon fibre at various small details. I have a while back ago got my hands on a P85D black interior. That is black alcantara headliner, dashboard (with the alcantara), and the nextgen seats. This I plan to retrofit into my veteran...

Yes, please update us on the case. Can someone confirm that a windshield replacement is a must (I can see why as the headliner is way wider than the trunk hatch)? Is there any possibilities to gently squeeze the new headliner in through the trunk, slightly bending it a notch? Maybe there will be...

Next gen seats:

@Jasencio did you ever finalize your NG seat swap on your 2013? If so, would you mind sharing some info or mention the hardest challenge(es)? I have contacted my nearest SC and was told to send it in in writings per e-mail, giving the VIN # of my own car and the donor car (which was salvaged)...

#meetoo I wonder if I have started something I cannot finnish or not?? I just love the next gen seats. Any valuable YouTube videos made on this topic?

Hahaha, priceless

You got the most important stuff: Tech+NG seats I've got an all black P85+ and would with Carbonfibre. Nice choice. But the black paint is a bit softer And thinner than the metallic option.

Thanks for your reply Gabzqc. Is this the same site in Swedish? http://www.tulli.fi/sv/privatpersoner/bilbeskattning/importprocess/index.jsp The English version does not seem to have been added yet: http://www.tulli.fi/en/persons/index.jsp

Has anyone found out about the import duties for USED (EV and Tesla's in particular) cars into Finland (or EU in general) from Norway? I have one for sale (P85+), and I wouldn't mind exporting it.

HI, I'm trying to find out the excat laws and regulations for importing a vehicle (Tesla of course) to a EU state from Norway. As Norway is not part of the EU, but still part of the EFTA (European Free Trade Ascosiation), I'm to say the mildest a bit confused. The general rule I've found is that...

Lloyd, same here, and I also got the +

Not only the thumb ;-)

Yepp, or a Tesla-Oreo cookie If the white was in the midle (mine is black).

A normal drive home from work. Note what's in the camera view ;-)

This movie was actually the one that inspired a young Christian von Koenigsegg to start building a supercar. And as we all know, he's preferring driving a Tesla Model S himself.

Hi, has anyone put a set of silver Alloygators on the 21" gray rims? I'm just about to order a set and think I'd go for a set of silver and a set of black. I hope the discount (TESLA10) would still be active, even if it was suppose to be until July 31st. I'm waiting for my P85+ with gray rims...

I'd assume the "Fog" button activates the fog lights, but I have no idea if it is front, back or both. I didn't check that unfortunately. Maybe as Laumb says, there could be a combination button. Therefor we should be able to see tha car from the back as well as the front. Next upgrade...

Sorry meant to say Sequrity, not safety. The button saying Tilt/Intrusion, although it seems to be disabled (compared with the other buttons), the same with the Airbag on/off for passenger side. The Tilt thing is a feature in the SEQURITY package option, which is the only option I did not go for.

I just inspected a P85+ in the store and took this picture: I thought it could be part Of the CF package or the 85P+ package. I'm still confused. Will this be in my car as well, or not?

I took some pics today in FW5.5 that I believe are new? At least only belong to the Cold weather package: (heated wipers) Alarm settings that might belong to the new "Safety option"?? I don't have knowledge about if these features were there on previous versions.

I Like A LOT :love: Waiting for my VIN 14473 (Black P85+ if anyone see it)

How agressivly do you drive on snow anyway? Knowing I'd drive on my 19" snow tires I would drive accordingly.

And Thats why the Norwegian ordered cars Are shipped directly to Norway instead of via the Netherlands like all other EU cars AFAIK.

I hope you are not planning to drive on snow with anything BUT snow/wintertires? So I think the above arguments you used regarding snow conditions are not valid. Anyway you'd go for a separate set of tires for winter (or all season if very little snow?). I'm going for a separate set of 19" with...

I allways wanted an S6/8 or a similar kind. My problem is they are taxed beyond any reason in my country, and I'd get the maintainance+fuel costs on top. For me it's a nobrainer (with no taxes on the TMS, it's like selling water in the desert). Thankyou for your input, it makes me more...

mknox, I think you are absolutely correct. There's been a lot of fuzz back and forth regarding the "Winter package", actually around the time this test was done. That is misinformation from Tesla's side mainly, as I see it. Websites have been updated frequently. As per now you can read on the...

Thanks a lot Blurry_Eyed for your review, on behalf of all the Noggies sucking up all info about the P85+ we can get. I'm just so glad I couldn't help myself and crossed out for the P+ package when finalizing, even if I was originally just going to go for the P85 with the 19". I knew I would...

Kol2000, your review and sharing of your experience is very much appreciated across the Atlantic, but I guess also in the US & Canada. I'm so glad I did go for the P+, now I'm almost worried that it's too much for me to handle?

I'll rent out mine anyday for that amount $$$

Am I lost, or isn't this a contradiction? If you do place them rolling the same direction, wouldn't the inside part of the tire be on the outside when swapped from left to right and vice versa? I agree in 2) if you didn't dismount the tires, and then the rolling direction would change as well.

miamimd, congrats. Please share your excperience. I need to finalize next week, and I'm dying to hear more real life experience with the P+. Just like tovow describes, maybe most important(!:confused:), how is it in daily driving? I don't doubt that the handling is has improved, otherwise it...

I'd really appreciate some feedback from the customers that take delivery of these first P+'s. I'm about to finalize within the next two weeks and desperately need to know how much "WOW" there actually is, and not the least how much OK is it to drive in normal traffic with wife and kids onboard...

Some put M5 alloys (even not original ones) on 520's. I heard of a 316i which was rebuild to a M3 (engine+++)

So what you're saying is that you basically Get the Standard->Performance (362->416HP) for $1500-2000, taking into account that The P->P+ upgrade (retrofitted) cost $13-13500. there's no way. Sorry to say, but I honestly think somebody somewhere misunderstood or miscommunicated something.

I thought this link was posted a long time ago by my fellow Norwegian enthusiasts, but here it is anyway. The Model S is tested in the Norwegian winter. Driving from Oslo to Geilo, approx 270km and going up to 800m above sea level. The guy is making a stop at Ikea first to fill up the car...

If you deduct minimum $5200,- for the 21" with the Michelin PS2 you're down to $7800,- (- any extras for the two 0.5" wider rims, - any extra for the difference in prize for the PS2's). http://shop.teslamotors.com/collections/model-s/products/21-grey-performance-wheel Then deduct the $6500 for...

Haha, I was just thinking the same. GB thinking: "Don't promise too much...please". I'm going: "C'mon say what you're thinking right now Elon". Seems like GB is there to make sure no wild ideas/promises are spread out in front of camera. Priceless! Gotta love Elon for that. Hope the SC spread...

Don't think that would help much as the US plates are of a different size than the EU ones. Are really these brackets being screwed onto the nose cone and making permanent holes or what? Congrats on getting the license plates btw :smile::biggrin:

ckobopoda, I really admire your enthusiasm. I think Tesla Motors should give you a medal. Good luck with your Model S.

I'm not sure who's doing the copying, but SAAB had turbine wheels on their Aero models since at least 10 years: http://www.netcarshow.com/saab/2003-95_aero_wagon/800x600/wallpaper_08.htm http://www.listofcarbrands.com/saab-95-aero-rear-side/ Unfortunately they went bankrupt. My guess is that...

Priceless

Please note that it's a US version first registered in the US, then imported to Norway by a local car dealership as a demo car. So the "retrofitted solutions" are more or less an ad-hoc solution for this specific car to get it approved in Norway. The European versions are for sure going to be...

Probably Norway's first Model S on a ferry around the Bergen area. FYI: This is a US model! (Ok I didn't see it myself, but I saw it on the EV Forum) http://elbilforum.no/forum/index.php/topic,6973.0.html ...and EV's are free of charge on ferries :biggrin...

There's sure a matter of extra costs to include those features, but when They already have a backlog (and deadlines) why should they include it? To be the worlds best sedan, it would definetly help to add these relatively cheap extras. So in IMHO Tesla isn't quite There yet. Would I sit around...

kishdude, and you other guys actually OWNING a Porsche or a similar car, I really appreciate your inputs here. One thing is comparing the Model S with a test run of an awesome car, but comparing it with an awesome car you are using more or less on a daily basis, holds a lot more credit IMO.

Sounds like something my dad would do. He's absolutely NOT interested in cars whatsoever. He could barely recognize the color of a car. So it doesn't surprise me. ...or maybe your neighbor just didn't want to let you start your "Tesla Time" conversation on purpose..?

At least you can hide your mess in the trunk when you have the parcel shelf. I'm anyway ordering it bcs it just looks better. If I don't need it, I'll put it away, and include it when I eventually sell the car. I don't see it as a major investment but IMHO think it should be included in the...

At least we don't have to worry about that...in an S, or any other Tesla.

That's magical dcopperfield! I especially liked the picture showing the back window. When I'm debating White Pearl Vs. Black There are so many black areas on the car, so when tinting like this it just looks more complete on a black Model S.
