0091xx delivering this week in AZ White, aero wheels, long range battery, PUP, EAP 4/1/16 online reservation, current owner 1/26/18 invited 1/28/18 ordered, quoted "4 weeks" 4/20/18 delivery appointment

I find it very abrupt at 80 mph, the car darts quickly out of the lane, then smooths out after crossing over. I have a new update to install just now, maybe a quick fix?

I randomly got the app notification on my 100D last night, drove 80 miles today. I logged about 18000 miles on an AP1 car before this car, drove a loaner AP2 both before and after 8.1 update, and now this update so have a good idea of where we have come from. 90mph limits as advertised, as...

The GPS antenna is in the rear window glass.

The antenna is probably in the pano crossbar which doesn't exist in the same fashion on the glass or solid roof... Just like a lot of other things, such as no AC to the rear child seats, they "could" fix but have not made it a priority to do so.

My basic premise is that most people who are willing to pay full price for a Tesla today are going to want whatever new version there is in 3 years.

I am pondering similar and have decided to likely go with lease for the following reasons: Payments similar to 72-month loan with low down payment 7500 credit added to residual value, get benefit now. Low down payment Future-proofing - think about what a 2014 Tesla (pre-AP1, pre-dual motors)...

I also seem with recirculate on that fan won't go below 4.

I had this issue - SC replaced the GPS antenna, and no further issues. Trouble is the GPS antenna is integral to the rear glass so they have to replace the window.

I had this issue and they replaced rear window glass with embedded GPS antenna and it is fixed.

I have had two steering racks replaced in 8,000 miles. He is not alone here. And I have no curb rash. Some of the commentary around here is starting to sound like the Land Rover/Range Rover forums... if you complain about any problems with your car, then you "don't get it". Sheesh.

Or take it to CarMax... They will give you an offer (if they buy Tesla), and then you have the option to pay the difference between the offer and owed amount on lease. If it's less than the incentive you are offering it's an easy way out!

They are all supposed to be limited. Autopilot restricted to 80mph, although passing excursions to a hard cap of 85mph are allowed. The last three loaners I've driven were all the same.

+1 Although I don't think they take cars in just to update firmware, but if it's there for anything else one of the service tasks is to apply the latest FW build that is meant for your car. Some versions only apply to certain equipment you may or may not have as well from what I understand.

I live in Arizona, so there's a little more of a heat rejection problem here, but... I did 35% PhotoSync to side windows, hatch, and the pano panels. I then added a second layer of 50% 3M Color Stable to all but the pano and it matches up very nicely. They said it meters around 15%. If you...

I also experienced this this morning where the car "dove" to the right towards a vehicle in the next lane. I was on the wheel and corrected but it was very odd. I emailed the SC to report it as well.

Hadn't noticed this yet... I keep mine on recirc all the time as when on fresh air I seem to get a pressure sensation in my ears at high speeds that I don't on recirc. This is a bit odd have to admit, not being able to go below 4.

The pods that are "highlighted" in the featured TuneIn listings seem to work great with less need to buffer the whole episode before streaming, but anything that I search for in the "Anything" box seems to have a hard time and I'm getting "Loading error" messages. Anyone else?

My commute with 8.0 AP for me felt more "stable", the car seems a bit more "planted" in its lane. Less diving for exit ramps in my experience. I was letting it nag me a bit more than I normally would just to see what it would do. I got visual warnings multiple times which as others have said...

I also logged in on web and added favorites which later showed in the car.

He did say 8.1 would let you set the temp. I replied to him asking if we might get AC to our rear facing seats though. If we are worried (as we should be!) about heat related safety, shouldn't this glaring omission be rectified?

Looks like you get your wish in 8.0, at least partially! New Tesla software to prevent hot car deaths

Was just thinking this AM that my car lights up bright yellow when I pass palm trees and jersey barriers but an actual car about 2 feet away? Doesn't usually even register. My old Honda minivan and new MB SUV light up when you try to signal with a car in your blind spot, why not MS?

I paid $350 or so to have one done in a prior rental house mounted on wall behind the panel (<1 foot run). Paid $600 or so for an outlet to be installed in our new build with 25 foot run. $450 is not out of line, should mainly be based off the labor rate as parts are probably under $100 (I'm...

303 fabric cleaner is what I use on all my Sunbrella outdoor furniture and it seems to work on any othe fabrics I have too. Test a spot first as always though!

New MS 90D (refresh) owner here: Love my car, but in 3,000 miles has needed a number of creaks and rattles squashed, repainted bumper for unexplainable splotches from factory, and a steering rack replaced to name a few. The SC staff worked very hard to make me happy and my Tesla grin is back...

Ok battery gurus: I have a brand new 90D, charged only once so far to 90% after running the initial delivery charge down to about 20%. My commute uses about 80 rated miles. I'm leaving for the weekend, and it's going to be 110-120 degrees here in AZ. I was thinking about charging to 50-60%...

Yes. They both throw you back in your chair, it's just the P is a bit more forceful.

It's just the speed. That's it. Before ordering my 90D, I drove 85D, P85D (insane), and P90DL (ludicrous) back to back to back. Each one is faster off the line than the other. And the ludicrous is just that. I was blown away by the off the line acceleration of the faster models, but also...

S90D VIN 1242xx Ordered 9/2015 for March delivery VIN assigned 1/3 Delayed delivery 1/22 Removed delay 4/12 Production start 5/25 Production complete 5/27-28 Delivery 6/8 Now begins the long wait for tomorrow!!

This is silly - the cars take a couple days to build, they should have something to tell you... Maybe a part shortage, QC problem, something... I don't think they give the DS staff anything to go on though.

Yours is a 70 right? NikeWIngs' is 90... As I mentioned above it seems they're batching for some reason.

Are 70D entering production and 90D getting pushed back? Seems it to me...

Yes - a lot of us had the delivery estimate change unexpectedly on My Tesla and since then, it seems that very few people have been saying "yay, I started production!" I saw maybe 1 or 2 people post pics of their refreshed cars, but the volume has not ramped up. I'm sitting at June-Early July...

I just slipped from Late May - June to June - Early July but my DS has been saying mid June all along. 90D VIN is 124xxx because I delayed delivery after VIN was assigned. I imagine they need to get east coast cars out earlier than west to make end of Q2 numbers. I bet most of us have cars in...

As others have suggested I'll likely be going the custom route. I have a local shop around the corner from our SC that is very excited to work on this... Said they used to do similar for the Cadillac coupe that had only mesh over big glass moonroof.

To my knowledge Tesla hasn't released what % blockage there is for each part of the UV (UVA, UVB, UVC) spectrum. From what's been discussed it's better than stock glass, but the "98%" figure could be the peak UVB blockage, an average under the curve, or a lot of things. They should be...

I'm a dermatologist and wouldn't recommend the perforated sunshade as adequate protection from the residual sun that passes through the window glass. When I get my S the whole car including pano roof will get 2 layer tint (photosync 30% and then a darker 3M layer), as well as the shades. Had...

Assuming you have the load capacity on the panel existing in your home, to install the 14-50 is a couple hours of labor plus parts. I used a non-Tesla electrician at prior house to do it and it was about $350 but it was at the panel. When building our new home, I asked to have 14-50 installed...

It almost seems as though they made a ton of "classic" cars to eat up inventory to clear the docket for the "2.0" model. Although some folks did manage to get "new old" cars before this slowing or stopping of production.

I imagine it's a different story from making a few cars for stores vs. ramping up for full production, but total speculation on my part. Could also just be what they are told to say.

I was told the same since the "factory is retooling"

Ok, makes sense. I was hopeful that the tax credit was removed as a cap cost reduction, but rather it is added to residual. Either method reduces the monthly payment by a roughly similar amount, as you both have said. But... if you were to consider keeping the car, then you lose that benefit...

Does anyone have new "refreshed" photos and design spec sheets on the "My Tesla" page? Mine still shows old photos and details.

So the $7500 is added to the residual value? In my mind that means you only get the benefit of the credit if you turn the car in. If you buy it out, you end up paying that $7,500 to Tesla. Does that seem right?

In the pic where Bjorn is putting his hand into the "grill", it seems to be a separate piece. In watching his video earlier, it looks as though it mounts from underneath perhaps. ...and I hope as I'm in a no-front-plate state! I DO however think the Euro plate looks not as bad. If it's...

I agree with you. If I were taking delivery of an old design MS this weekend I personally would say "no thank you" and attempt to convert my money down to a new order, and even if they would not budge I would eat the $ as the instant depreciation on the "classic" would certainly be at least...

You can ask but the standard answer would be $500 change fee + your price would adjust to what they call the new "price book", which for most would be $1,500 increase or $2k total. I hope they are being flexible with people. I almost asked if I could have the new 72A charger... Still might.

There are a few photos out there of a red car with the new nose but still with the black sills. I'll see if I can dig them back up. Seems odd, but they did it. Prototypes as you say? Still also very interested to know if the hood is a new part... Maybe less frunk crease risk if it's been...

Worst case loss of $2,500 deposit and likely $1,500 price jump with new price book for same options... The new price of car is not negotiable, but the deposit issue? Different story. They can do whatever they like there. The "that's what you ordered" and "had I known, I would have acted...
