    (California) Bay Area FasTrak*— Is the license plate pic method working?

    The FASTRAK toll tag works if placed on the right side of the rear view mirror (top of the windscreen, top edge of the tag on the windscreen dots). Have used this method successfully on the Carquinez Bridge and Bay Bridge on my two month old model S. Don't believe you need the license plate...

    Bridge toll transponders

    FasTrak identifies the Tesla models as ones needing external toll tags - license plate mount. https://www.bayareafastrak.org/en/routers/Vehicles_with_Metal_Oxide_Windshields.html

    How to mount FasTrak transponder non-destructively

    My FasTrak transponder did not work when windshield mounted on my Model S. Read through the forum advice on trying it below the rear view mirror. However, the FasTrak web site has a list of problem vehicles and Tesla models are marked as needing external (front license plate) toll tags...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Took the factory tour and picked up the car on Saturday. Great way to spend a Fall weekend morning. Factory was humming and running at 2-shifts/day, six-days a week. While I saw some brown and green cars (maybe the last of these colors), didn't get to see any dual-motor versions.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Yesterday the MyTesla status changed from "in production" to "production complete" - seems production took just 4 days including a Sunday - and I also received the email for final bill and payment notice. This morning my DS called to let me know that I can pick up the car tomorrow afternoon...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    MyTesla today changed to "in production" for me... Yesterday my DS told me car would be going into production next week so this is definitely confirmed by the web site. Was told a couple of weeks ago that delivery would be anywhere Nov 13 to 20 and asked me to be in town during that time...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Can echo the posts from several of the members, my status also says "...production queue" as of this morning and earlier this week my VIN started showing up instead of the order number. Delivery shows late October.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I had posted some of this this earlier: Ordered 8/1, confirmed 8/2. Initial delivery said late October. Then it moved out to late November. Moved back to late October, then it now shows October. Just this morning my order number changed to show my VIN so hopefully this is a sign that the...

    220V Garage preparation - cost?

    Looking to do exactly this over the next couple of weeks as my delivery is in October and I didn't order the HPWC. For my situation the breaker box is in the garage and the distance needed is pretty short. How long is the mobile connector cable in case I park closer to the far wall in the two...

    Had my First Test Drive Today.. Hmmmmmm...

    My test drive was on a P85+ and I was very pleased with the handling! acceleration and steering control. The car handled extremely well on the freeway, changing lanes rapidly. I am moving from my 911 Turbo so the acceleration and sports car feel were very important to me. The comparison to a...

    New Grey for Model S

    How many folks got a second mobile connector bundle?

    Good advice on getting a second mobile connector bundle to leave at home. I did not get a HPWC so this option works well.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    bigdomer - thanks for the clarification on "October" and delivery October 22 or thereabouts would be fantastic! I am in the Bay Area and plan to pick up the car at the factory (with a tour). Maybe that could help shave off a couple of days :) I have been introduced by email to my DS but haven't...
