    Collision warnings and cruise control function poorly

    My 2020 Model S Long Range does the same thing. I have complained about it several times and service has looked at it... but it still does it sometimes. Definitely messes up when a car is merging and I attempt to change lanes. Also does it when my lane ends and merges into another lane; it...

    What's the first thing you do?

    Took my shiny new Model S home; parked it in the garage and popped the trunk to access the charger. Guess what? The trunk lid is MUCH longer than my old car and it crashed into the raised garage door. Yeah, heart attack... Fortunately, didn't do any real damage. Solution - you can set the trunk...

    YATSS - Yet Another Tesla Service Story

    I was told by Tesla sales person back in December 2019 that I could put any compatible tires on that I wanted (didn't ask about wheels ...but I can't see how that could possibly make any difference as long as they are compatible).

    Model S Software/Firmware wishlist

    1) Need to be able to set waypoints in the navigation thing. Arriving at my destination with very low charge isn't going to work out well for me if my destination is a remote national park or some where without a charger! 2) Ability to schedule charging start and stop times from the phone app...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Well... I got my car on the 26th and it broke down on the 30th. The dashboard and the display panel both went crazy while i was driving on the freeway. Couldn't turn on the headlights (there was fog), or any of the other accessories, dashboards started displaying error lights, the wrong speed...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Thanks Jeff, Good news for California! I just received this email from the CARB: You should receive the $2,500 rebate, even though the application automatically populated $2000. This is unfortunately one of those quirks with last minute changes. I’ve flagged it for CSE. Thanks! Happy New...

    California rebate

    I just took delivery of Model S today and applied for the California rebate. The application limits the rebate to $2000 by default (which is the new limit for cars "purchased/delivered" after December 2nd). However, the California Air Resources Board they would honor a grace period so that would...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    As I understand it, if you ordered by December 2nd you can still apply up until March 2020. I just took delivery of Model S today and applied for the California rebate. The application limits the rebate to $2000 by default (which is the new limit for cars "purchased/delivered" after December...

    California rebate

    Just scheduled my delivery (for December 26th). So I checked the Air Resources Board web page again. Now it includes the word "ordered" ...but it also includes the word "may." lol Their webpage (Clean Vehicle Rebate Project) says: CVRP Grace Period Applicants who purchased, leased, or ordered an...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Ordered Nov 4th. Delivery just got scheduled for Dec 26th in Rocklin CA. Note that the California Air Resources Board is allowing a "grace period" for the $2500 rebate. Their webpage (Clean Vehicle Rebate Project) says: CVRP Grace Period Applicants who purchased, leased, or ordered an eligible...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Note: You can look for your VIN number on your account page. It shows up in the source code when your car is getting close (I guess). Here's instructions posted earlier by mrjingles: Search for "5YJ" in the Manage section of the car you ordered. 1) Go to Tesla.com 2) Click "Tesla Account"...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Ordered November 5th. VIN number showed up Monday and I got the email today asking which days I would NOT be available to pick up between December 22 and December 31. I should have put that I am not available EXCEPT for Dec 22 so I could get my LR Model S earlier! :) ...but I didn't think of it...

    California rebate

    They made it clear in an email to me that the intent was to provide a grace period and honor the rebate for cars ordered/purchased prior to December 2nd.

    California rebate

    The air resources board has posted a "grace period" to allow California residents to apply for the rebate for Model S and Model X ordered between September 3rd and December 2nd. Clean Vehicle Rebate Project :D

    California rebate

    Not yet... <sigh> I already paid for an older 2019 'pre-raven' Model S. On the way to Fremont to pick it up the ARB called and said they would have a grace period... So we rejected the car and will wait for the one I ordered on November 4th. Spent ALL DAY on trains and busses going down... and...

    California rebate

    I spoke with the California air resources board today. They said they will be allowing a grace period to apply for the rebate. Details should be forthcoming soon.

    California rebate

    I just got an email from the Air Resources Board. It says, "Thank you for reaching out regarding your CVRP eligibility. I would like to set up a time to speak on Monday about your case. CARB is currently in conversations with our grant administrator and Tesla regarding implementation of the...

    Difference between 2019 Model S 100D LR and current (2020) LR?

    How good is the adaptive suspension? Is it a smoother ride? Better handling? Both? What is HW2.5 and MCU2 (sorry for being so ignorant... I wish Tesla had more information available) Also, are the new V3 chargers even faster than the current supercharger? Why would they want to maintain parity...

    Difference between 2019 Model S 100D LR and current (2020) LR?

    OMG,S Thanks for your help. Is there somewhere to find complete information (other than you guys)? What does adaptive suspension do

    Difference between 2019 Model S 100D LR and current (2020) LR?

    I am considering the purchase of a 2019. It appears it's "pre-raven" I guess that means it has the same battery but a less efficient motor? Are you aware of any other differences?

    Difference between 2019 Model S 100D LR and current (2020) LR?

    The 2019 100D says it has about 10% less range and 10% slower 0-60 than the current LR. It is my understanding they both have the same battery? What has changed?

    How does the Model S perform in stop and go traffic

    Does autopilot close up the distance and follow the car ahead in stop and go traffic? Or does it try to maintain too much distance and allow other cars to cut you off all the time?

    California rebate

    Heck no! I don't blame Tesla! I just want the air resources board to stick to their rules for the rebate until I get mine! :-) I want to save the environment too... which is (partly) why I ordered a Tesla. Imagine my surprise when the day after i ordered it I found out the rebate rules had...

    California rebate

    They should not offer an incentive and then take it away without adequate prior notice. Wow, I really didn't think I would get negative responses on this forum. I think the Tesla is a better car as well. However, it is not significantly cheaper to operate considering initial purchase cost...

    California rebate

    Aw c'mon, be on my side! My biggest beef is that they gave four weeks notice that they were discontinuing rebates for ONLY the Model S which takes up to six weeks to deliver. They need to give adequate notice when they are going to change the rules!!!

    California rebate

    I see your point, but Model 3 and all other electrics are not the luxury car i want in my retirement. I will cancel my order and go buy a gas guzzling cadilac or something if they don't change their mind on the rebate (or unless Tesla actually gets me the car by the deadline!) And trust me; I...

    California rebate

    Suggest people can contact their California legislators to complain about the inadequate notice and unfair policy change: findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov. Maybe they will extend the policy implementation until December 31st. Meanwhile, does anyone know how to contact ANYONE at TESLA delivery or...

    Model 3 waiters in California - please post here

    I just ordered LR basic Model S on November 5th. Is everyone aware that we will lose the $2500 California rebate if we don't take delivery by December 3rd? The rebate people at the Air Resources Board changed their policy on November 1st. As far as i know it ONLY affects Model S (since there are...

    California rebate

    The California air resources board just changed their rebate policy on November 1st. The new policy excludes electric vehicles costing more than $60000 delivered after December 3rd. So, unless the Model S I just ordered is delivered by December 3rd I am going to miss out on the $2500 rebate...
