WA state, Ordered online on 3/31, previous Model S owner, got invite today (and configured - decided not to wait for the AWD). Also, as an early S owner I spent a lot of time in these forums before (and soon after) mine arrived, and it's fun to have a reason to be back!

For whatever it's worth, I decided I didn't want the pass attached to my car, or a front plate at all (let alone that gigantic front plate attachment thing). I've gone over both 520 and the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, and it's reading my back plate. I think it's supposed to charge an extra $0.25...

Thanks! Will try to make it work.

How would you compare this to the University of Quattro classes? Assume I can only wriggle free for one Saturday. :)

Also doing the Spring Break thing. Have fun, all, and thanks, Francis, for bringing this together!

It's a switch (like for a car window), embedded on the side, reachable by the right arm of the child on the right.

Like everyone else - five minutes in and out, just a small Phillips Head needed. Thanks!

At this point pressing the button, waiting for some clicks, pushing in and pulling back seems to be working, though it's really fussy. I don't know if I'm having a unique experience here or if it's the common one!

Thanks, I was hoping someone would get it. I've now fixed the pictures appearing, but there are two random other ones I can't get rid of...

OK, so I've finally had a chance to take a breather and post my own story. I first received a contract for the Signature 85 on March 24, 2009 - and then after looking in my pockets, I sadly deleted it, and then tried to ignore all Tesla-related chatter for a few years. It stopped working when...

Thanks, all. I had forgotten to mention that I couldn't get the color to change to white last night as well. This morning I re-unlocked, touched the button, and then pushed in and pulled back out - and it worked (the second time). I decided not to experiment this morning but will try more tonight.

So I'm Day One into my Model S. Reports of goodness to come, but one distinctly non-trivial problem: I can't seem to get the charging cable to disconnect reliably - or, as of 12:55am PT, at all. I go to the cable and hold down the button, and it clicks and blinks green at me. (I have been able...

I will begin waving (somewhat frantically) after I pick mine up in three hours - so if you see me in Seattle, you have one more waver. :)

I thought that fit the back seat, not the footwell (in the trunk)?

T-40 hours until my Model S arrives - not that I'm counting or anything - and the one thing I just don't have in place yet is a mat for the rear footwell (i.e. for dirty jumpseat feet). All the threads I've seen are talking about ones that either don't fit (like the Lloyd's Rubbertite) or...

Are they the black ones?

No argument with any of this. @PureAmps, I was actually going to ping you on whether you'd actually reached out to Tesla on the state of the API, but my assumption would have been exactly what you said. There are certainly ways to avoid storing credentials in cleartext - in particular, you...

I've been thinking about exactly this: in fact, I've bought a domain, have some mockups, and have put up a signup page for people who want to know when there's actually something there - Your Tesla, Everywhere. - Track Your Tesla. Since my car doesn't arrive until Tuesday, I haven't done...

You can always call the main number and ask - but otherwise someone will be in touch with you when they have something interesting to say or ask you.

It looks like we have the exact same car, in the same city, with my reservation number <150 before yours (and strangely my VIN 650 lower). So I guess I better call my DS tomorrow... Update: Delivery on 3/12! How am I supposed to get anything done between then and now...

I had a good chat with one of the AutoAnything reps today: I reported that the Lloyd's cargo well mat hasn't been fitting properly and shared the posts above. He didn't have access to the dimensions of that mat, and my car hasn't arrived yet so I couldn't provide more details: he thought the...

What ThortsMD is too kind to say is that you drive past a seedy motel and a junkyard to get there. If someone told you the cars had been stolen off of a delivery truck and this was a fake Tesla dealership, you would not be altogether surprised. It's not a service center yet, just a holding pen...

Does anyone know if the license plate registration (the extra .25, not the pass) works if you don't have a front license plate? Btw, I just realized this is in the wrong topic.

Just thought I would share a fun synchronicity story... I drove a friend to his MS pickup appt today, and felt no pangs of jealousy along the way. While he was getting the demo in his car, he asked how the iPhone app worked. He had installed it so pulled it out. I pulled out my own phone...

I also received my check from PenFed with paperwork at the 1.49% rate with just a VIN - my car's a couple weeks out (sadly).

That matches what I heard - the factory is super-excited to have an open warehouse here, and it's being used for preparation and storage for... a while.

After reading lots of threads in TMC, I ended up going with PenFed. My experience so far has been mixed-but-good: I've found that I do need to follow up every request with a phone call, but that's worked every time. They conditionally approved me on 2/13, and asked for some information, which I...

Well, since everyone else is doing it... I called today to get my VIN in order to make sure financing went smoothly, and asked a few questions along the way. Learned today: VIN #6354 Rep said "it's not yet in assembly" but thought it will be next week, and then with delivery to Seattle, "should...

First, @blurry_eyed, I thought I would tell you that your kids are famous in my house - they ask to see the pictures every day as we wait for our car and jump seats to arrive. Second, has anyone found a kid-feet-friendly mat that fits well in the jump seat floor? I want to have that ahead of...

There have been a couple of posts on this and some of the other threads that the Lloyd's mat for the cargo hold isn't fitting correctly. Since I'm going to have the rear jump seats and two kids overly excited about sitting there, I really do want a mat that fits (and is highly durable - might...

Just an FYI - I know a number of folks received finalize requests Monday 2/4 with later reservation numbers: #18,606 reported here (Latest date - Page 220). I was #18,577 - reserved on 1/23, so had a 12-day reservation period.

FYI, my office is just down the street from Tesla Seattle, and I shot a quick photo of the Truck o' Teslas parked just behind the store today. It's not a great photo, but I thought people would be excited about it anyway. Two whites, two blacks, one brown (that's the one on the bottom), one...

I've been waiting to join until I got my finalize button: Res #18,577, reserved 1/23, finalize button at 5:34pm today. Going to confirm everything tomorrow in the store and I'm ready to go!
