This looks amazing IMO. It looks much simpler and much more elegant. Also, people are always wondering when their regen lights are on, so this gives them the image. Would you rather prefer the dial that just repeats the number that the digital display reads out to you? To each their own i guess

This looks fantastic IMO. For a car design the textures were too complicated. This is nice, simple and very apple-esque. Good job Tesla!

I would ask if they RWD cars get the auto-close charge port. That is pretty convenient. Otherwise I would go with the RWD 70. On air suspension I would definitely skip it. We got it and really don't use it. If you can't feel the difference I would not bother. I would have actually preferred...

If there is anything Kman's videos showed us it is that the number does not tell you much about the battery health. His number has actually increased and gone all over the place. Wouldn't read into this much IMO

When did he say first deliveries would be? I missed that. End of Sept?

Looks like October for autopilot :(

Something that seems like a good idea to me is the following. Tesla has about 30,000-40,000 cars on the road with Autopilot hardware. What if, during this time, they were able to create a map of all the highways that people are on (which would include most of the highways). The map would tell...

In one of the Facebook groups for Tesla an employee confirmed that they have this week off as they are re-tooling. I do not know why people think that this is such a crazy thought.

They are fantastic. Highly recommend.

Why would he have his friends in the car? From what I understand, this is his dads car that he may use occasionally. If this is his daily driver, then obviously he would not get any Tesla in my opinion. But if this is his dad's, just put it in valet mode every time he uses it. It literally makes...

I don't understand why not keep it in valet mode when he drives it. I assume its not going to be HIS car, so whenever he drives it, make sure it is in valet mode. Besides the name, there is nothing disrespectful about it. It limits acceleration and top speed, which sounds like what you want to...

Thanks, I knew that the pack revisions were different for different capacities but did not know it was different for dual-motor vs. standard. Did they deliver any dual-motor A packs?

We got delivery of our S85D at the end of March, and today I just checked the battery pack version. It looks like I have a B pack. I though B packs were very old by that time, and that they were on later pack versions like D and F. I have attached a picture below. What do you think? Our...

No, it has been confirmed that somebody can get ludicrous mode in the P85D. This is the ~5,000 dollar upgrade. Read Elon's blog post. There is a distinction between power and energy. The 90kWh pack effects energy, while the new power electronics effect power. The upgrade in power is what enables...

Well, if you paid for it of course you should get it. I would take it up the food chain.

:confused:

I really don't think that the 70D is a city car. People like Kman Auto have done plenty of road trips in their 60's, and the 70 has even more. Also, by next year we should have superchargers basically everywhere, so the 70D will be an even better option. We got an 85D, but if the 70D was an...

No, this is incorrect, the car gives you 2 minutes to drive away. The amount of driving is unlimited.

We got the smart air suspension, and I am not sure it is worth it. While its fun to play around with when looking at the car, it adds very little function to the car. Unless you absolutely need it for height clearance, I would skip it and get the upgraded seats instead. Even for height...

Why don't you order today, then confirm on your birthday? 14 days is perfect!

Yes, fold over the shorter side and slide it into the footwell. I'm not sure about the parcel shelf though.

Well there is your "staggering amount" of R&D :wink:

No, working fine for me.

Elon Musk on smart roads, Tesla and much more (2014) - YouTube @ around the 9:00 mark till 10:55

I don't mean to be rude, but I also don't understand this thread. You remember the 4 digits. If you don't, then you enter your My Tesla password to reset it. How is this difficult? I think you may reset the password maybe 10 times (tops) in your life. I think this was by far the most elegant way...

In transit for a late March delivery. Will be out of town on the 28th for a week, so hopefully before then otherwise will have to take it in early april... which could prevent the Q1 rush that some people don't seem to like... No, I think I would rather have the car sooner :smile:

Like others my status went back to being in the production queue.

OP here... Production is apparently complete and is being prepared for delivery. It is still a month away... I am not entirely sure what is going on. I may call my DS. I dont think it would take a month for it to be shipped to Chicago. Am I wrong?

OP here... Finally in production. The Tesla Factory is building your Model S.

Elon Musk keynotes Tesla Motors Shareholder Meeting (2012) - YouTube invisible love at the 48 minute mark from 2012

Wow. Crazy that the cars are finally shipping. Been waiting since July. We ordered then, expected delivery in October. Thankfully it was delayed to December, so we were able to get dual motor. Original delivery for Feb, then March. We are in the 69,000's and are in Chicago, but have not received...

Great letter! Would love to hear their response, if there is one.

Just moved from Feb to March... ugh. Ordered S85 in July. 8 months :(

Just BTW, we can see where you live on the left side next to your name :)

I agree... So what do people think our chances of receiving our cars in Feb are like ;)

Thought I would start this since it looks like VIN's are coming out for the standard D's now. Please post your own info for the following. This one is mine: S85D Solid White Pano Roof 19" Standard Wheels Tan Nappa Leather Obeche Wood Matte Textile Headliner Tech Air Cold Weather Highland...

Have you gotten your car back? Would really love to see what Tesla did for you since you are essentially their biggest brand ambassador (Of course with Bjørn)!!!
