...and I noticed that the date (on the calendar app icon) is also no longer visible on the screen. I am still looking at it very day. This is not just about change. It is taking away a lot of things I am currently using.

Here is what I mailed to Tesla today: Dear Tesla, I am a huge fan but I do not like what the new V9 update does to my interface. I have an AP1 MX VIN: xxxx. Before that I owned a MS (2013-2016). I do not like the fact that Tesla took away one of my most beloved features, the split screen in my...

Correct. I tested this new update today at the store and I do not like it. Too bad I had my hopes up.

I just received the following email from Tesla: Just heard... Update rolling out now.. Finally, in response to customer feedback, this update brings back the Dual App view for Model S and Model X. I am holding my breath but it seems that Tesla again has listened to its owners and has modified...

Sorry, missed that. Anyway, I think it is good sign that deliveries have started outside CA to nonemployees.

Can somebody add me to that spread sheet? I was invited to configure Jan 4 and deferred. I am a current owner but not employee.

Hi there, I am a current Tesla owner in Chicago. Was in line at the store back in March of 2016 to place order. I am not a Tesla employee. I was invited to configure the car January 4, with a 4 week delivery window. As I prefer the dual engine version I deferred. So it is happening now. I am...

Chicago 6 seater 90D as well with VIN 62xx. So a bit earlier than you I would think. I am checking the Grand SC about once a week for new MX arrivals. After a flair of new cars (highest production VIN ~3890) a few weeks ago no new deliveries in the last two weeks.

Hi, I have not posted in a while, just have been a happy Model S owner. I have now pulled the trigger to get a Model X a week ago. Our order will go final tonight. I was also confused by the email Tesla owners received regarding that April/May delivery. I felt that this email had to be a bit...

Last car was a Prius V purchased in 2013 for 30K. My wife wanted a moon roof that could be opened but the Prius' roof could not. So I added an extra $2500 to install a small Webasto aftermarket roof that could be opened. What a waste that was because not only did the Model S provide me with...

We came through this SC today around 1pm. There was a cue. Four Model S' were charging and two were waiting. It seems that the capacity could be expanded. I noticed that the 8 parking spots to the right of the SC stalls are reserved for "low emission/fuel efficient cars". That must be some kind...

Agreed. Vandalism is a concern. I wonder how many SCs are affected. These were the first two that I have seen with that kind of damage.

Construction and damage at Auburn SC We came through Auburn yesterday on our way from Chicago to Boston and also saw the construction activity at the site. Apparently, they are currently installing new concrete curb stones. First, I was worried that they had disabled the site - we only had a...

I am still hoping. Updated pic please?

We will be visiting Wash U on March 23. What is the chance that this SC will be operational by then?

Excellent decision. I had three drive train replacements and was a bit worried about future costs but this completely dispersed my concerns. Bravo.

Today I received the car from service with 5.9 installed (.94). I love all of the additions. I also noticed that the positions of the side view mirrors is no longer stored in the profiles, at least the mirrors do not note anymore. In addition, my main concern is that every time I charge after...

My wife noticed the engine noise right away when the report started. I thought it was pretty damaging to mention in that segment that there was no engine and then hear a noise that sounded like an ICE trying hard to get up a mountain. At least the online version of the 60 Minutes segment is...

I was hoping that with the firmware update 5.8.8 my charging problem would be resolved. Unfortunately not. Still the same thing. Every time after about 30 min charging is reduced from 40A to 30A. Frustrating.

I recently received the same service at the Chicago service center. I was driven to work in a Lincoln Towncar. Later that day when I wanted to pick up my car they did not have the limo so they offered me a car from Enterprise. I refused and took the bus. Sorry guys, I am not going to drive an...

I was always looking for a good excuse to drive to the Detroit show and I hoping to see both model X and model E.

Well, with no Model X on display in Detroit in 2013 I am now planning to drive to the show next year. Would have been nice this year...

Sweet indeed! Both Madison and Maumee came online. Now let's just hope the Model X will actually be shown at the show. So far no Model X at the show:confused:. Let's hope for tomorrow's press conference...

Same here, and I will only travel from Chicago to the Detroit Motor Show next weekend with this SC in place.

I can get close enough I will try to measure the footprint.

...and take pictures and a video. Just hope they will demonstrate the falcon wings to the general public.

I could not agree more!

Did I get this right? Do you think I could actually test drive the Model X? I guess not. I would be excited if I could sit in it. My experience with preproduction models at car shows is that car makers won't even let anybody enter a car. - - - Updated - - - Yepee! - - - Updated - - - Yes...

I just checked the status of the SCs between Chicago and Detroit. There is only one missing near Toledo to make the trip. I just read that the SC at Maumee, OH will be opened this week! If that happens I am planning to drive to Detroit on January 19th to check out the Model X in person. Now...

I tried that last week starting at 39A in steps down to 35A (then I gave up). Unfortunately it did not make a difference. Always drops to 30A after a while. - - - Updated - - - I can only hope once the wall charger has a thermal fuse built in that they will modify the software so that I can...

Update: As a reminder, since the update I haven't been able to charge at 40A once. 5-60 min into every charge event I experience a brief voltage drop (from 201 to 196V, under load) and a reduction to 30A. I have now tried different charge cables (no change) and had an electrician check out the...

It took me a few days of testing to catch the car in the act, so to speak. I am charging at a NEMA 14-50 at 40A. Industrial power provided by ComEd in the Chicago area is 208V. Without load it shows 214V. When charging starts I read between 198V and 201V, it fluctuates a bit. It always takes...

It was only today that I noticed that my 40A line only charges with 30A now. I can go to the car and set it back manually to 40A and it responds but after a while charging is back to 30A. A bit frustrating. The 50A outlet was installed by a professional electrician for a lot of money in a high...

I have now mailed [email protected] about the wifi message in general. Let's see what they say.

It may have been discussed here but I have not found a thread. At home I am parking in the garage of a high rise with no home network nearby and no way to install in common area of the building. Ever since I updated to 5.8 I have been getting messages encouraging me to connect to a home network...

Strange that for our friends at the west coast this does not seem to be much of an issue. :wink:

Well every centimeter counts. 33mm above standard versus 23mm is 43% more. I will just have to go slow.

Boy, I really got concerned about this statement. I really do not care much about the lowering issue. I think the car will be safer this way. Not just because of debris on highways but because of the conditions of some highways. Anyway, I bought the car with the air suspension because of the...

Just starting the update from 5.0. Lets see how long it will take with 3 bars on 3G. Exciting!

I was trying to be conservative, although the numbers that are out there are between 150,000 and 200,000. Not sure where you are getting that 250,000 number from. What I was trying to point out, maybe not in the most direct way, was that all these statistics I have seen are flawed (mileage...

For me the question is not so much how many Tesla's burst into flames and whether Elon then claims that the car is less likely to catch fire than an ICE. The real issue is not how many cars are on the road and catch fire in an accident but how many cars that are involved in a car crash go up in...

Ahh, a real Tesla. Pretty cool.

A triple Tesla pumpkin. Limitless creativity. What does it look like at night with a candle in it?

Tesla Pumpkin thread My daughter today surprised me with this special pumpkin. Happy Halloween everybody. Feel free to add your own Tesla-O-Lantern.

I just checked the point system. The maximum points are 110. Cars can achieve a maximum of 50 points in the harmful emission category (CO, HC, NOx etc) and 60 points in the CO2 emission category. The test assumes a mix of emissions produced when using power taken from an average German outlet...

I agree, this is a great result for the MS in Germany. ADAC is the German equivalent to the AAA in the US and because way more Germans are members of the ADAC than Americans have memberships in the AAA the ADAC is an authority in Germany. Their tests have a similar significance as the Consumer...

My browser froze but I managed to take a screenshot so I would not have to type it again (sorry this ended up at the bottom of this thread): - - - Updated - - - Yes, I know but I am not an engineer. No idea what Tesla is planning. Any of the suggestions you had sound unlikely to me. They...

You are right. I do not know what Tesla is planning. I was just stating what Germans have come to expect from a car in that price range and this may be one of the reasons why sales in Germany are behind those of let's say the Netherlands. Germany is a tough market. On the bright side, Germans...

I also think that Elon was referring to making the top speed travel a more pleasant experience. So, is it not pleasant? To be frank, no, not in my book. Going 100 mph in Germany is like driving 65 over here. That's nothing. Any of the latest midsize cars sold in Germany drive very quiet at that...

Hmmm, mine used to move around all the time. In fact, there was almost a step like structure forming underneath the accelerator. I had to do something. I also tried velcro but could not find a way of attaching it to the underside of the mats. I did not want to use any kind of adhesive tape...
