Tesla - It would be great if you allowed an app for Waze's navigation system to be an option available to your owners.

Appreciate all the advice. I am now considering adding the following 1) blind spot detectors 2) lighting for the trunk and 3) blackvue dashcam did you consider a rear cam as well? i assume they are legal in Ca? i also just got my HOV stickers and need to install the fastrax transponder. I am...

The al and Ed's front sensor display unit is smaller and fit in the cubby for the front bumper. The mobileye was installed n the same spot. The upgrade is great! I find the mobileye to be a great safety feature

Yes they provide both audible and visible alert as you get closer to items in front and back. My front bumper install has a switch so that I can turn it off when I am in stop and go traffic. I would say these are nice additions but are probably not required. I went for it because I found that...

I had front and rear parking sensors installed by Al and Ed's in West Hollywood. They were able to color match the bumper and nose cone. The installation looks like a factory install. The only thing that would be better would have been if it had been possible to integrate into the Tesla...

Dadaleus - Let us know if you get more information on the availability of the blind spot detector option as I will also want to add them. So far I am pleased with the Al and Ed's West Hollywood modifications. The parking sensors on the bumper look like they were factory options! Do you have...

Al and Ed's installed the parking sensors in my Model S. The install was great. They were able to color match the sensors to my bumper (grey) and front nose cone (black). The front display is in the cubby next to the radar display and the rear display is mounted on the rear roof and visible in...

Al & Ed's is a great provider for customized modifications for your Model S. If you are, like me, hesitant to allow just anybody access to your baby, then relax and trust Max and Elle at Al & Ed's in West Hollywood. I had the following modifications done by Al and Ed's: - Install Mobileye...

My audio system has a problem whereby the audio sound shifts to the front passenger speaker only. Any ideas or suggestions on solutions?

Al and Ed's AitoSound in West Hollywood Ca. is the place to go for those of us in Southern California. They did a great job installing, MobilEye system, Radar system, front and rear bumper parking sensors, window tinting, clear bra and paint protection. Systems are working great. Max the...

I similarly went back and forth between the P85 and the reg85. Ultimately. I went with the non perf option solely due to the cost differential and value equation. If you can afford it then go for the Performance because you will have no regrets. If however you are stretching for the 85 then...

Interesting that they reported a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting due to an error in its cash flow statement. It is unfortunate that what appears to be an inadvertent gross up of components of the statement it was determined to rise to the level of a material weakness.

Thanks for the reviews on the mobileye. I have an appt scheduled with Al and Ed's in West Hollywood to install Mobileye and Escort system recommended by Dadaleus on my MS. Those that have used them, is their pricing fair? How about for Window tinting etc...

Is it prudent to take the MS for a one day roundtrip from LA to SD on one charge? I have to attend a funeral in San Diego and am deciding between my new MS or my reliable ICE car. I only picking up the MS from the factory in Fremont on Sunday. Thoughts?

Scriptacus - please report back if you are happy with work of your SoCal installer and would recommend to others.

What a day!!! I had checked with my DS earlier in the week to try and be proactive and schedule and plan for my factory pickup and financing of Vin 61xx. Based on that dialogue it seemed like it would be sometime next week. Around noon today I got an email saying that I could schedule my...

Gsxrex. What is your Vin? I am also planning a factory delivery and attempting to estimate delivery timeline. I am 61xx thanks

Looks like my timeline is similar to X-ray Received my Vin yesterday 61xx in response to email with delivery window of 3/1 - 3/15. Finalized on 1/21. Plan to pick up at factory and drive down to LA when it is ready. Looking forward to getting my ms85 grey/grey/pano/air/sound/dual/tech...

Have you determined if a factory pick up allows you to get the car faster than if it is a Southern California home delivery? I have been debating whether to continue to be patient and wait for the car to be delivered. My delivery window is a few days after yours - 3/1 - 3/15

Ditto!!!! Original reservation sequence 15,8xx finalized on 1/22/13, delivery button 2/10/13 with projected delivery window of March 1 - 15th. 85kw Grey/Grey Pano, tech, sound, air. I have been checking this forum and my dashboard multiple times a day. I was excited like others to see the...

What is the preferred location for the wall charger or 14-50 plug? i am assuming the left wall so that it is close when I park nose in.

What are positive and negatives for factory pickup for California residents? When do you notify Tesla of choice?

Pressed the finalize button today .. 158xx .... decided to not go with the Performance as I struggled with the cost benefit of the $12k difference plus taxes.... Appreciate the comments on the forum . P85, Grey,grey,pano, tech, sound, two chargers & HPWC

I am close to finalize stage. Considering perf 85 grey grey combo with everything but kid seat. Looking forward to joining you here in Pasadena. While the car is expensive it seems comparable to top of line MBA or BMW Current LA owners are you happy? Any downside?

Ease of entry and exit from the driver seat - are there any concerns or facts as to whether it is easier or more difficult than other sedan cars. How does it compare to a MB S class? When checking it out at the Tesla store it seemed awkward

This is getting exciting! I am 158xx so it is looking like my turn may be next week. My test drive at the Santa Monica store is not until mid February. I must admit that I have become addicted to this site to hear about the experiences of those who have their cars. So far, it seems like this...

Boeing & Battery Issue Is there a comparability between the lithium batteries being used in the Boeing Dreamliner and the Tesla Model S? Given the current news events regarding potential concerns with lithium batteries allegedly causing concerns in the Boeing Dreamliner fleet it would seem...

The color is beautiful! Besides the Sig Red, what are the preferred colors? I am debating between the Blue Metallic/Tan Interior, Dolphin Grey / Grey Leather, Silver / Grey combinations.

Beautiful Silver Model S sighted Thursday evening at UCLA. It drew many admirers from the Bruin fans. - - - Updated - - - Sighted a beautiful white Model S driving down Sunset Blvd near Beverly Hills and Bel Air.

Great write up. I have a resv for your same set-up. How does the blue and tan leather combo look? It looked great in the store. Did you go with the CF or the wood? What pushed you to the Perf 85 vs. std 85?
