    Perpendicular Park into Garage?

    I'm waiting for this as well so I can use it. To use it as is, I would have to backup all the way up my driveway, and even then my charge port would be too far away from my outlet. If they simply have an option to autopark front first, that would make it usable for me.

    Firmware 7.1

    Would summon work with a garage that is not directly facing the street? Mine is attached at a right angle to the house and I would love it if it could pull in and out and align itself down the driveway.

    New 90D Feels Loose Above 75MPH

    I took it on a different expressway and it felt fine, so now I'm wondering if it was just the road I was on. I will have to do a bit more testing before I commit to a service call. I did forget about the steering though, and changed that to Sport from Standard and it definitely feels better in...

    New 90D Feels Loose Above 75MPH

    I just got my new 90D last week and love it so far. Most of my driving is on normal roads, but I've had to take it on the expressway twice so far and noticed that the car feels very loose above 75MPH. I haven't taken it over 80MPH, but the best way to describe it is that it feels like I am...

    What Swag did Tesla give you at delivery?

    My car was delivered to me in MI on Black Friday and came with a goodie bag that included a mug, pen, pin, two leather key fob holders, umbrella, and red scarf.

    Delivery service or drop off?

    I just had my car delivered this past Friday and the experience was fantastic. Tesla used a third-party delivery service and although he wasn't a Tesla employee, he might as well have been. The car arrived from Columbus to MI in a covered 1 car trailer right to my house. He pulled it out of the...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I talked to my DS every couple of days when it was in production and he was able to give me much better updates than simply "in production". He was able to tell me when it was in "body and white" stage, in "end of line QA", and then finally when it was on a truck and where the truck was spending...

    Actual Delivery most often better than Estimate

    Mine went from December - early January to being delivered on 11/27. They shipped it on a truck from CA to Columbus, OH where it will then come up to MI, so definitely no train for me.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    My 90D is finally being delivered this Friday! My Tesla is definitely slow to update as it was still listed as in production even as my DS was sending me a photo of it charging at their location in Columbus. Ordered: 10/3 Confirmed: 10/10 Production: 11/12

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    My delivery estimate updated twice today. This morning it went from December - early January to 12/9 - 12/23 and then this afternoon it updated again to 11/27 - 12/4! Ordered 10/3, confirmed 10/10, production 11/12.

    Just saw delivery estimate go from Nov to Jan!

    My delivery has said December - early January since I ordered on 10/3. My DS has always said it would be mid-December and when I talked to him today, he let me know my car is in final QA on the line and should ship from the factory to Columbus over the next couple of weeks, and then head on a...

    Credit score ding right before financing :(

    My mistake as I checked again and it was marked as 30 days late, not 60. Also, just to make things interesting, I checked my wife's credit score and hers is just fine. It turns out when we got the GM car, we only put it in my name and not both of ours. She was busy that day and I just went and...

    Credit score ding right before financing :(

    Talk about a horrible start to my day... I confirmed my order on 10/10 and am expecting production to start any day now. I'm getting ready to finance through Alliant and jumped onto Credit Karma this morning just like I do every day for the past year to make sure everything looks good. My heart...

    I confirmed mine on 10/10 and I'm still sitting in the queue. #111985

    Just got notice that my production was pushed back by a week.

    VIN 111985 here and still in the queue. My DS says production in mid-November and delivery in early December.

    Michigan order here! Ordered on 10/3 and confirmed on 10/10, #111985. My DS has told me expect production to start in November and delivery in late November - early December. 2 days ago My Tesla updated to say delivery is expected in December - early Jan, but I talked to my DS and he said I am...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    My guess is that since the credit is simply a reduction in your tax liability for that year, they may have known ahead of time that they would have more liability next year instead of this one to take full advantage. FYI - Not an accountant.

    Anyone in SE Michigan go through the process of getting a second meter from DTE?

    Does anyone have a recommendation for a contractor to install the second meter and charging outlet? Just placed my order over the weekend and excited to get started. I'm in Oakland Twp. if that matters. Thanks!

    Owning a Tesla in SE MI

    Anyone in SE Michigan go through the process of getting a second meter from DTE?

    Who should I contact first: an electrician, the city, or DTE? Thanks again for all the help.

    Collision Avoidance vs. Automatic Emergency Braking

    Does the automatic emergency braking work well for wildlife? I live in an area where there are a ton of deer, so I would feel better if it worked well in an emergency situation. Last night I had one jump out in front of me in the twilight hours and I just barely missed it.

    Anyone in SE Michigan go through the process of getting a second meter from DTE?

    I was wondering if anyone in MI has gone through the process of getting a second meter installed with DTE and how easy it was? Anything I should be prepared for?

    Metro Detroit body shop

    Cauley Ferrari is one of my clients and although I haven't had any service done with them, the owners are good, stand-up type of guys. I also got a direct mail piece from Suburban Collision in Troy that they now do aluminum body work as well, so maybe check them out too?

    Can I Make Multiple Payments Between Ordering and Delivery?

    FWIW I contacted my Tesla rep and he said yes you could, as long as you tell them the amount you plan on financing before you make those extra payments. Something about getting all the paperwork in order so they can just apply payments to your account. Looking forward to placing my order next month!

    Can I Make Multiple Payments Between Ordering and Delivery?

    Can you make multiple payments during the time between the down payment and taking delivery? For example, after I pay the $2,500 down payment, can I make an additional $5-10k payment every couple of weeks until I give them the balance prior to delivery?

    Leasing in Michigan

    Have any Michigan drivers leased their cars instead of buying them? I know that Telsa doesn't lease in Michigan, so do you have to go through a different bank? If so, are there any that you recommend? Thanks!

    Did any of you order your Tesla sight unseen?

    Thanks for all the info. I think I am going to go ahead and drive down to Columbus for a test drive since I am also undecided between blue and red. Maybe seeing them in person will make up my mind.

    Did any of you order your Tesla sight unseen?

    I plan on placing my order in the next couple of weeks, but don't live within reasonable range of a store. Did any of you place your order without ever test driving one or stepping foot in a Tesla store? I live in metro-Detroit, so the closest store to me is 250 miles away. They have said the...

    Michigan Tesla Owners

    How did the winter treat you guys? Did you have a secondary car for the snow or do you buy snow tires? I've also heard there is an AWD version coming sometime soon, but I don't think I can wait until next year.

    Michigan Tesla Owners

    New to the forum and looking forward to joining the club. Just waiting to close on a new house before I can place my order in mid-July. As for others, since we don't have a service center here in MI, did you have the car delivered to you, or did you go to the closest service center? Is there...
