The Model S made Car of the Year January 2013 so it was tested in November 2012. So you're thinking the Model X could be tested next month by MotorTrend?

Now that the Model X has "officially launched" when do you think it will be entered into the MT SUV of the Year, 2016 or 2017? I know one of the criteria's is it needs to be below $100,000 to be considered and seeing as the testing normally occurs in November I doubt the Model X's sub $100,000...

When I got my 85D 90% was 244mi. Now at 7300 miles 90% is 239-241mi however most mornings it's 239.

Thank you!!

what percentage did you get on your windows? They look nice!

Thank you for the reply. I've only had the car since Friday and this was my first Software Update so I wasn't sure if it was just me or it happened to everyone that downloaded it. My car is currently getting Opti-Coat Pro installed so when I pick it up Friday morning, if it happens again I'll...

So I updated the software last night and now whenever I drive I keep getting an alert that reads "Blind Spot Warning Disabled. Drive with Caution". The only way to fix this is to turn Blind Spot Warning on and off and it works again. Is this a bug in the software? Anyone else seeing this?

Thank you you for the great write up and enjoy your new 85D. I can't wait until Friday at 10am to finally meet mine. So your car was in a covered tent? They no longer do delivery inside in the 3 delivery bays? Honestly I'm not sure what I'm more excited for... The car or the tour? so how is the...

So this Friday I accept Delivery of my 85D at the Fremont Factory. It's been a long wait from the moment I fell in love with the car two years ago until today when I could finally afford it. So my question is to anyone that's accepted delivery at the factory or really anyone at all, how did...

So I'm picking up my Model S this Friday and will need a backseat cover for when my 80lb Boxer for when he goes for rides with me. I've looked through the forums and the only thing I've found was in regards to the Orvis Dog Cover but wasn't sure which size or type will fit the car. If not sure...

Grandma Mode. Haha. There also needs to be doggie mode.

As of today my car is still in production. I did receive my Final MVPA today however they misspelled my name. Not sure how that happened seeing as my name is on the original order and deposit. So now I'm waiting to hear back from my DS to correct that. I was hoping to accept delivery this...

I drive by the factory every day to work and every day I see a lot of Tesla's with dealer stickers driving from one side of the factory to the other and one parking lot is filled with them. Yours is probably there. I'm sorry you're frustrated I am too but it's way better than dealing with a...

So my S85D went into production on Friday May 8th. From everything I read on TMC and on the spreadsheet says 3-5 days in production. My DS said it takes 1-2 weeks, is this an over estimate from Tesla? How long was your car in production and if picking up in Fremont how long after production...

Where did you purchase the LED Lights and how hard were they to replace? I love the look!

In your last picture you're missing the Tesla license plate frame. Did they not give you one? Nice looking car by the way! I accept delivery of mine next week

Thank you for your detailed answer. Its not that I am trying to save money its that I know we will be purchasing a new house early next year and didn't want to pay for the installation on the house we currently don't own. After reading your answer I will more than likely just charge on my way...

So I have seen several posts to this question but still haven't quite found the answer I am looking for. I will accept delivery of my Model S in 2 weeks and I currently don't have any charging options at my home. I am currently renting a house that has a detachable car port with no plugs...

Thank you for the tip! I'll will contact him.

Can anyone recommend a place where they got their Model S Tinted in the SF Bay Area? Also if so what was the cost and % of tint to did you get?

It is a great little town. I absolutely love it even though I work in San Jose, but I love where I work and love where I live. - - - Updated - - - Congratulations on your new Tesla. I bet these last 24hrs will be the longest. Good luck on sleeping tonight.

I don't know how you all have done it. I put down my deposit and confirmed my Order on April 10th and received my VIN on April 20th. The thought of waiting another month for my car is unbearable. Now mind you I have actually been waiting since 2012 when I first read about the car and began...

You're welcome. Thats what we are here for, to help each other out. :wink: I'm in the same boat as you though and this whole waiting thing is killing me.

Update yours to the spreadsheet and you can track your car along with everyone else. Model S Order Delivery - Google Sheets

I confirmed my 85D on April 10th and was assigned my DS 3 days later with Vin Assignment on April 20th. So once your DS calls you just let him know and they will work with you.

Hello, So my fiance and I have confirmed our Model S and received our Vin. We even have been approved for financing from Alliant. My question is that we are weeks away from receiving our Final MVPA which we will send to Alliant to receive the check. The loan from Alliant is 100% in her name...

Okay, thank you for the clarification. Thats what I thought but wasn't sure.

I've been refreshing MyTesla at least a dozen times a day since I confirmed my order on 04/10/15. Finally today something new appeared... My Vin has been assigned. This is going to be a long 6 weeks.

Just curious why some Model S owners hide a few digits of their VIN?

I would never ever consider a car of $60k or more, let alone the $100k I just spent on my Model S. Like you said, there is just something about the company. I'm use to my Dodge Neon and Hyundai Elantra price point cars but there is something about Tesla. I love their vision and their car and for...

What did you order and when did you confirm? Just curious because I'm still waiting.

They must have a ton of new orders ever since the 70D release because I confirmed my 85D on April 10th and still haven't received my vin. I spoke to my DS who called me to introduce himself and he said my car is expecting to be delivered sometime in early June and my vin will be updated between...

It's been a week and still no vin for me. :confused:

Okay, so here are the rates I received. Patelco - $60,000 at 6.99% for 72 months Alliant - $82,000 at 3.99% for 72 months. Alliant said my Credit Score was 698 and if in 90 days my score goes over 700 they'll give me a rate of 2.99%. Needless to say I picked Alliant. All these forums are...

So I just got back from Patelco. I'm waiting for the under writers to call me back in an hour or 2. But they said their rates are 1.99% for a Credit Score of 750 or higher and anything around 700, like mine would qualify for 2.99%. They do knock off .50% if you signup for automatic payments and...

All of these posts are really helping me while I wait for delivery.

So higher than 5 but lower than 9. I'm at 6 and still nothing. :-/

Just ordered mine. It's going to be a long couple of months.

Thank you for the reply. I'll keep you guys posted on how it goes on Tuesday.

So I have placed my order for an 85D and will be heading down to my local Credit Union, Patelco to apply for the loan. I have heard great things about Alliant but would like to see if going to my bank would be a better option. I must admit I am extremely nervous. The total price of the car...

I don't know how you all do it? So I just placed my Order online and the waiting is already killing me. Immediately after my order I was contacted by my DS to setup another Test Drive but this time with the 85D (model I ordered). I have only driven the the 85 and the P85+ but it has been...

So long time lurker and just recently put my deposit down for the 85D. My Tesla moment comes last April when me and my fiancé rented a Tesla Model S 85. We wanted to test the vehicle during a long trip before we purchased. We decided to drive the coast of California down Highway 1. During our...
