In the interim I'd use a cooler so at least if there are any spills it's self contained.

I did a similar thing, but I added the enhanced autopilot since it was only $6k. I figured I'll try the subscription FSD in a few more months.

Yeah that makes sense. I pulled the trigger on the upgrade yesterday. I originally placed my order in January after my gf got her Model Y and I drove it around for a while and liked the height. I've had 2 Model S' since 2014 so I'm excited about this refreshed X.

They gave me the same price on the phone and by email. The exact message was: "Your current pricing is $124,440. If you switched to a Model X Plaid there would be a $15,000 price increase to $139,440. Keep in mind if you ordered a Model X Plaid today it would be $153,940, resulting in $14,500...

That's a really great point.

What did you decide? They gave me the same offer this week but for only a $15k upgrade. I'm still trying to decide.

I placed my LR Model X order in January '22 and the delivery window dropped from Jan-Mar '23 to Nov-Dec '22. But this week Tesla sales rep called to offer me a Sept delivery of a Model X Plaid for an additional $15k. I don't really need the speed or performance, but is that a value I shouldn't...

I have an S and have never been able to get above 25kw at the "Superchargers" upstairs.

Update - I also received a Pixel update today. I changed the absolute volume control settings before installing that update and restarting the phone, and now it works again without issue. Now I don't know if it was the Tesla update or the Google Pixel update since both occurred in the same day...

I have a 2015 Model S and a Pixel 4. Same issues with lack of volume control, even after the most recent update was installed today by the mobile service team today 1/15/19. This is unbelievably frustrating as it drops the volume to 10% anytime it senses a very short lull in audio. This...

I just RSVP'd. This will be my first Tesla event!

Definitely a good point Josh! I was just at the SuperCharger last night and look what they're doing for us! Hopefully this will keep us from getting ICE'd.

Thanks! I did it with Plastidip. Super easy and took about 30 minutes. As for the Mexico trip, I flew. I just left my MS at a friend's house who lives not too far away from LAX in Venice. LOL. I wouldn't dream of taking this baby down there.

This was last week Right before I left for Mexico for NYE, but I saw my first P85D in the wild at this SC. Here are the food choices in the food court btw. It's just a walk through the JCPenny and up one level. The MS with Red Decal is mine btw.

I charged here around 3PM today and while there were 2 ICEs parked there when I arrived, no one else came to park while I was sitting in my car. There were 2 other MS charging, so that may have helped keep them at bay.

SWEET!!!!! Charging here tomorrow! Thanks so much!

Congrats dweeks! Don't forget to update the tracker please. I think the info on the speed of production and delivery really helps alleviate some of the nervousness others are going through.

Thanks so much drsaab! It's the Los Angeles SC that's just north of the Space X HQ where they do the Tesla announcement events. That's definitely a quick change from last month to now.

I'd like to introduce you all to The Rodger Young. I figured I'd stick with the spaceship theme so many of us are doing, so I went with a ship from a Robert Heinlein Novel. They even put a bow on him at the service center. Of note is the "Model S" on the door sill. I almost bought Roger's...

I'm also at 2pm, but I'm picking up here in Los Angeles. You're at the factory right?

Congrats as well!It was Julia, but over the past few days I've been talking to Steve since he's been the one to pick up the phone every time I call. Mine was only in production for 4 days and since I sold my car a few months ago I've unhappily been in a long term rental. When I called the DSs...

FYI to fellow newbies, even though the car is being prepped for delivery, my Dashboard didn't change to allow payment until I called my DS and told them. One plus though is that the DS said the car will get to Los Angeles tomorrow so if they finish inspection and detailing I can pick up Friday...

My MS85 has finished production and is now being prepped for delivery! I pick up December 16th.:biggrin:

Congrats! I checked the spreadsheet and it appears a lot of S85's have gone into production recently. The delay in the P85D production is our gain!

Since my car is just coming down to Los Angeles which is just over 1/3 of the distance yours has to travel from the factory, I'm sure it has something to do with that. Plus my options were a lot more basic with the textile seats, solid roof, textile headliner, etc., so they may be fewer supply...

My S 85 is now "In Production"! VIN 63552. So excited!

I just saw the update on the dashboard. I went into production today! No email update as of yet though.

I finally heard from my DS. She said it would only change my delivery date by 1 day if I took delivery at the factory in Fremont because it's so close.

That's what I was wondering. I feel like plastidipping would be easier than applying the stickers. Can't wait to see more pics!

I'm also going to plasti-dip my Model S as soon as it gets here next month, and I'm wondering why you applied the stickers on the chrome, rather than just plasti-dipping those letters?

Although my Model S doesn't get here for a few more weeks I already bought the plastidip and glossifier because I plan to dip my wheels black. I watched this guy's videos on YouTube and they give you a lot of great tips, etc., and the wheels seem easy enough to do. If you use a garbage bag that...

I wouldn't necessarily say that. From what I've been reading here a lot goes into the batching of cars for delivery purposes. There may be a threshold that needs to be met before they can ship your car out to Canada. I'm not saying it's fair of course, but since delivery is a variable cost...

Such great news! I'm only 10 minutes from there.

That's super cool Bjorn! I wonder just how many Tesla owners you've spawned through your videos. I know I'm one. Elon should be paying you! I watched your videos for a month before I put my order in last month.

Glad to see I'm in good company. I check so frequently during the day I felt like a kid before Christmas. Until the announced pause in production on their blog, I had no idea when to expect my delivery date. But now that they're up and running again with a rate of 1000 cars/week, we should all...

That's a great point. As I'm in Los Angeles, it's not too much of a hassle to get up to the Bay area to take delivery. I've attempted to have that conversation with my DS, but she said I should wait until December 1st to see if it's really plausible.

Thoughts on the Announced Factory Upgrade? What does everyone think about the blog post Tesla published today discussing the factory upgrade and the end of the pause in production they had enacted? I'm glad to see things are moving again, and am anxiously awaiting my S85 (VIN 63552), which was...

Pete thanks so much for making these. I recently ordered the screen protectors, rustic letter fob pocket, and 2 of the silicone ones (one black with signature red which will match my car once I plasti-dip my Tesla decals red, and one glow in the dark for my camping trips out to Joshua tree to...

I'm planning to plasti-dip the chrome and the wheels on my Model S...when it gets here. I'm still in the production queue for a vague "December" delivery, but have bought everything while I wait. The wheel center cap decals, the key fob pockets, the premium center console, and even pre-paid for...

Has anyone tried putting Rog's Tesla Wheel Cap decals on plasti-dipped rims? I already ordered them and am planning to put those on when the car arrives next month.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with the "Tesla Fever." My 85 was confirmed October 23rd, with a December delivery date to Los Angeles, but is still listed as in the production queue. VIN 63552. I'm a little nervous of a delay because I want that tax credit this year, and I've even told...
