And how about the radio favorites and being able to control them from the steering wheel in the order you choose? How do we revert back to v7? Argghhh

I was just curious if I was making this up or if other people are seeing the same thing, but when I drive to work and let my MS essentially sit outside (temps have dropped slightly) I lose 6-9 rated miles during the day. The first 20 months I've owned the car it has been insignificant (0-1...

Or how about having a notification pop up on the screen when you get a text? I'll even take not automatically muting the incoming text chime when paired with the MS.

Yeah my first reboot ... and viola all systems go. thanks for help all

Computer seems to running slow, seeing a couple of things not right but the most important one is the pano sunroof won't close. Anyone know if you can manually close it? Any other thoughts would be much appreciated...

I have to agree with a couple of the posts here ... and while I have only been to a handful of SCs the Albany SC should be THE model. It's right off a couple of highways, there is a Whole Foods that has an insane amount of food options in addition to a great sitting/eating area (Tesla...

Hit the Syosset supercharger on the way out East. You should be able to get out to anywhere in the Hamptons and back to Syosset on a charge. (FYI it's at a Tesla service center in an industrial park). I've done it a few times no problems. On weekdays, there's a decent deli open w/i a 10...

Just installed my roof rack and I have to say with the directions listed here by @NigelM it was A LOT easier than I expected. The directions from Yakima are terrible so thanks to everyone for their diligence on TMC! Also, it looks fantastic but as @ThomEM says, it does make a lot of wind noise...

Just did a very similar trip in 24hrs for a funeral (Cooperstown to the North Fork and back). The Syosset SC is in an industrial park but there is a nice deli 10min walk away. The google nav took me up the taconic which is technically less miles but I still think the major highways are the way...

Thanks v much, this is a nice cheat sheet! Since day 1, I have had minor troubles getting the ring to go from yellow to green, but with enough 'fiddling' around I can get it to green, but it can take removing and replacing the cord 3-4x. While it's not a huge deal, it certainly seems like it...

Only have had the car a couple weeks, but I have been consistently getting 29-30 mi/hr on my home 240V. Took a road trip on Easter to visit some relatives and hooked it up to a regular 110V. It never was the same, getting 20-24 mi/hr. Hooked it up last night at home and it looks like it just...

Just an update, I tried [again] placing the EZ Pass flush against the mirror on the right side at the top of the windshield and I'm happy to say I'm 5 for 5 so far going through tolls on NJ Tpk and LT! Thanks to all the good advice from this forum.

Congrats --- I have a VERY similar build, it's incredible. Is that an EZ-Pass (or similar) in the windshield? Does it work consistently? I go through 5 tollbooths per day and i think my hit ratio is about 30% holding it out the window or roof. And I was 0% holding it up in the car on the...

And???

Hard to put into words what an incredible feat of engineering this is --- I know this is a bit cliche but it's like the original iPhone. Except totally badass! Pics coming later!

According to DS, all systems go for tomorrow afternoon pickup. 58 days from order/confirm to pickup on East Coast. And yes, it feels like Christmas Eve when I was a kid.

Spoke to DS yesterday, moved the delivery date up to April 10th from the 18th. Pretty much exactly 2 months from ordering/confirming. Gotta find things to keep myself busy for the next week. Is it weird to clean my garage 3-4x between now and then?

@MassX1317 I've been following your order/wait/etc as you and I were on similar timelines --- I actually felt a twinge of guilt when mine went into production last week! Very happy for you! As predicted, today my dashboard changed to "Production Complete" 4 days after going into production and...

Congrats --- I like your style, great idea about the parking sensors, although I'm hoping to keep that combination to a minimum.

Bam ... being built! After checking my dashboard for the millionth time my colleague finally said to me 'you are totally addicted' ... ummm ... duh.

Apologies if this is old news, it is also being reported that starting March 6th all MS will be built with a shield to prevent fires like these. Details are sparse but also says will retrofit older models.

All these pics are fantastic, keep them coming! I'm < 1mo until scheduled delivery (hoping sooner), electrician coming today. Getting more and more tangible...

Same story from my sales specialist. Free option not entirely free ;)

Hoping to answer a few q's as I already have a number of Yakima racks including the Whispbar ski rack which yes really can hold 6 sets of skis, a very solid product. I've used rackattack.com in the past and was browsing their options for the MS and they do sell a Whispbar Through Bar for approx...

Yes Chris Naps, NJ is a unique one.... Please dont hold me to this but going by the email Tesla sent this morning, the auto franchise laws as the only way to sell directly to consumers have been around since 1937 and while Tesla had gotten a waiver (pretty certain it's not the right legal...

Don't know what the final ramifications are for Tesla and owners/buyers (prob not much) but if Christie was trying to shake the old-school-NJ-politics-cronyism-image this didn't help.

In addition to the AWD family truckster, '65 Corvette convertible (small block). With the MS arrival it will be an all-American garage for the first time in my life.

My father was (still is) a car nut and whenever he got a new car (in the 50s & 60s) he named it either Stella or Sophia. Great name Amit! I'll probably go with Sophia given Stela (Stella?) is already taken...

Just spent 30 mins on the phone with JCP&L (I'm in New Jersey) and the only answer I was able to extract from the customer service rep was "Yes, they do have time of use meters." Couldn't tell me how it works, residential/business, costs to install, rate differential, anything. Does anyone have...

Been a busy Tesla morning. Thought I'd share: First, spoke to my DS. Similar to @MaxxX1317, looks like April 18th delivery (or maybe a few days sooner) as my car probably won't go into production until end of March, shipped 1st week of April, East Coast arrival mid-April, and then some...

Wow, that sounds like the factory is gonna take some well deserved time off after the end-of-quarter ramp up ... oh well, back to the original expectations....

Yes @MiddKid and @ohmman I am 99% sure VIN sequencing has to do with order date and not confirm dates, which makes sense from the factory's perspective. Good luck to everyone, it's all coming together very nicely!

Happened to me too but I'm not getting my hopes up, could just be a modification to their process. On the other hand, I am going to reconfirm with my electrician :wink:

Thanks to all the great postings of MS entering production, they def appear to be on track with their expected delivery dates. It feels like the March/April demarcation line is going to be somewhere around 34.5-34.8k VIN. Although if you live closer or picking it up at the factory maybe they...

Yes agreed if it's bankrupt it's nonexistent but if it's just simply deteriorated prior to bankruptcy you still should be able to exercise the gty. And of course [sic] Elon has personally gty'ed the buyback ... what was the last report of his net worth? $12 billion (although lots of that is TSLA)

Hey there, also a Morris County Tesla owner in waiting .... the guys at the SH Mall were fantastic. I've seen a handful driving around but still quite a rare experience! Keep us up on status changes, etc. Congrats!

Congrats on your order, I'm in the waiting mode too, thankfully this forum exists for great info! Anyways, I'm a geeky finance guy so I've put a fair amount of thought into this. About a month ago the two offers were: US Bank 3.50% for 72 mos and Wells Fargo 2.24% at 60 mos both with 10%...

It's probably a bit more complicated than we think as they want to show increasing deliveries every quarter so the analysts can model out delivery run rates, qtr/qtr increases, demand vs production capacity, etc. My view is they peek forward a bit and try to balance costs vs bringing some...

Wow thats great ecarfan-- whats her VIN? Based on my amateur analysis it looks like they are ramping up production to get a bunch of deliveries by end of Q1 so it looks like a lot of us who ordered early Feb have an outside chance by end of March. I ordered & confirmed Feb 11th and I'm still...

Second meter? Help me out here, just getting started with the electrician as I'm not expecting delivery until mid-April. For now, I've opted to pass on the HPWC (we'll see) and just getting the Nema 14-50 installed. Thanks.

If there is still a list being tracked: I ordered my S85 on 2/11/14, confirmed on 2/11/14, got my VIN on 2/25/14 (#355xx), and expecting delivery mid-April. Now gotta get the electrician to focus.

BOught in the low-20s, sold 1/2 in the mid-30s (genius) and then sold almost all the rest at multiples of that ... still holding a small piece for posterity. Expecting delivery in April.

Opened up my dashboard this morning (as I do every morning) and got my VIN ... feeling like it's very real even though it's still many weeks away. #355xx. Still expecting mid-April delivery.

Ordered and confirmed my S85 last night, was told mid-April or better. Can't wait.
