My P100D was ready for pickup yesterday. ~1 month from ordering to delivery. Can't pick it up until next week though because of my schedule and they can't deliver it. Trade in of my P85D ($50k of depreciation in 18 months/15k miles), has to be dropped off by me at the service center (3...

Ordered a couple weeks ago. Production finished last Friday. In transit now. Expected delivery Sept 16-23.

Same happened to me a few weeks ago. Couple days later the dashboard said to replace the 12v battery. Service center replaced the battery and things have gone back to normal. I'd guess that's the problem and not a bug in the software (don't worry, there are 800 other software bugs to blame...

Being a qualified visionary with disruptive ideas isn't the sole prerequisite for running a successful company longterm. So, while you may think nobody is worthy of questioning the Almighty Musk, you've gotta realize there are likely many business savvy customers (some who also built billion...

Can't speak on the model s drive units, but aside from that the Model X is an incomplete product that was rushed out the door, and the autopilot was a year late without telling its customers who paid for it a year earlier (myself included). Another botched roll out. I understand what...

Glad to finally see a thread on this site that doesn't crucify somebody for voicing their frustrations with this company. I've stayed off the boards for a few months because of it. Ampd nailed it in his opening post. Musk isn't a CEO, he's a lead engineer. My view, in three years when there...

Yup - I have the same issue. Have had it for about a year now. Almost embarrassing when you combine it with my chronic squeaky brakes they refuse to replace. Also makes the chunk noise as I get out of my driveway off a 1 inch ledge. Sounds horrible.

What the heck is everybody complaining about?? Tesla has publicly said many times they will be releasing the ability for you to summon your car on private property. And they have released videos of the car driving itself already. Everybody needs to chill. Keep these vids coming WK. I say...

Coiled - I'm with ya. The speed indicator is now hidden behind the top of the steering wheel. I too had to shift the wheel position up so I could see how fast I'm going. Same with when I'm shifting into drive, that is now hidden by the right part of the wheel. Super annoying. Personally...

I took this thing out for a few hours tonight and was gunna post a reaction, but everything has been said. I DO have to say one thing though after reading these comments. And just for the record, I'm normal 30 year old guy who has the highest kWh/mi average that I've heard of (pretty...

The software is the same too. Non-existent.

According to his posts, his intent is now to spend $140,000 on the P90D instead of the X. I'm a guy who is annoyingly supportive of Tesla and the products they make, as I'm sure many people here are. Having said that, I'm genuinely interested in hearing all reactions to the X roll out, both...

"Blindly" putting money down.. Did you have a sneak peak of the final product before the rest of us? Didn't think so. "Abhors" is a strong word (also a word I just googled). I said the doors are ridiculous... As in ridiculously uneccesary. Buying a ridiculous bottle of wine for $300...

I put a reservation down under the assumption that the actual car would be much better than the prototype, as advertised. But, the actual car was the prototype. Let's be real, the fact Air filters and docking stations made it into the features roll out was pretty telling. No mention of...

interesting reactions on this thread. When the livestream ended last night I closed my laptop and said to myself "what the hell was that??" Concerning the delayed start - nothing new here. I've accepted a long time ago their PR / marketing team is among the most incompetent of any public...

100% agree on both accounts. Slick looking car, but doesn't have many defining features. Might cancel my reservation and look to upgrade to the next version of the S next year when there are actually new features (or larger battery). Cool car for those who really do need an SUV though.

Is there a part II to this event? Besides the front door which opens, and the falcon doors with sensors on top.. Hm. What else did I miss? And the second row "reveal". I had to have missed something. There's nothing special about them that I could see. I'll stay open minded until I hear...

Oh nice. Just so I don't derail this thread, would you mind give a link to that info? I haven't heard a peep from anybody accepting delivery of a p90d yet, testing ludicrous mode, or that they're running it on 6.2. Thanks.

Late to the party, but I've got a theory. We've got three major rollouts coming, and I'm guessing they'll all be released at once. 1. Autopilot. Big software update release. 2. Ludicrous mode. Again, the software that goes with the hardware is likely in version 7.0. People are waiting...

There's a video on YouTube that was posted today. Lot of cuts in the video, so can't verify the source of the footage itself. But it's clearly a p90d, showing the guy flipping on ludicrous mode and accelerating. No clue if this car was actually sold to somebody or if it was a demo. Can't...

Not sure if anybody posted about the tesla conference call this evening. Elon said they're rolling out autopilot software updates to their public trial candidates on August 15th. And then depending on the results they could roll it out to everybody 1-2 months after that. In other words...

Any insight on when this upgrade will be available? I've got my car going to the service center for squeaky brakes and loud A/C (again) at the end of this month. Asked if they could slap on lud mode. They said they'll be able to do the update in a few weeks, but that we (tesla owners) would...

Just finished the installation. Had 6.2 before, still shows 6.2 after install with the same release notes as before. No new features that I can see.

Apologies ahead of time if this has already been covered somewhere in this thread. I'm not sure if it's just because I'm used to car now, but it seems a tad slower than before. Took a video then a snapshot of launches from a standstill, and then also on the highway. In both cases the power...

Wow, Hitler really let himself go. My vote on what's to be released - integration of plugshare into the nav system. I'm actually surprised tesla hasn't integrated this already. When my buddies tell me there are no charging stations, I pull up plugshare and they are blown away. This could...

Elon Musk on Twitter: Elon tweeted about a tesla press conference that will be held on Thursday to "end range anxiety". OTA update that will affect all Model S's.

Valid point. I'm canceling my order of this $120,000 "people carrier" and I'm gunna go with 6 school buses instead. I'll keep you guys updated with this new endeavor.

im really hoping the actual X design looks much different than what we've seen thus far. The model S looks like like a beast. The X on the other hand reminds me of a Honda Odyssey. I reserved my X solely on the premise that the final version will have features we don't know yet that will...

I've spent my entire career in the oil and gas industry, and even I had a chuckle with this one. Hope you find success in this effort, but I don't really see it happening. People reserving X's today are getting numbers of 16,000 and change. At a 30k car per year production rate, people...

Hmm... Not sure what color it was. rebooted it and it came back with the same message. Started driving and it went away. Never called tesla - but that's because I figured they would just default to "bring your car in" (nearest center is 3 hours away). Good to know they can remote in! Thanks...

Week into using .179 and I got a "car needs service call tesla service center" message. Driving seems okay.... Not sure if this is related to .179 or what. Anybody else getting this message?

Just to clarify... I wasn't contacted from Tesla beforehand. Aside from responses to customer inquiries, I'd bet my Reduced Powered P85D that Tesla has made zero effort to proactively reach out to any customers. I took range mode off this afternoon - seemed to have cleared things up for now.

This post is spot on. I've been off these boards for a couple weeks (havent seen these messages), and while driving to work this morning I got the same "reduced power needs service" message as everybody. It's somewhat ridiculous that my immediate response is "I bet this is an issue with .167...

I absolutely experienced the same thing (I have .139 btw). My neighbors thought I was nuts as I rolled through my neighborhood going between 3-8 mph as I tested this thing "shift" over and over again. During slow "acceleration" you could clearly feel it shift, and when letting off the pedal...

i don't know what a tesla ranger is, but I disagree with him/her/it. If I get in my tesla when it's frozen, it will completely disable regen braking and I average 700 wh/mi (double the energy usage). I've learned to turn on the heat to max from my phone. 15 minutes later when I get in and...

Same experience for me this morning. Pre-Update: It's been in the 20's the last few weeks where I live. Not a whole lot of driving the last few weeks, almost exclusively non-highway driving. I do try to let the car warm up for about 20 minutes in the morning before I take her out. Regen...

Haha - absolutely. Sorry, meant no offense by it. I've spent way too many hours with our legal team fending off bogus claims, all of which lead to higher legal fees than it would have cost to settle up front. Anyways. Back to reality. Anybody get a download notification yet?

I understand that these types of cases would never actually come to fruition unless somebody really had it out for tesla. Personally I'd rather shoot myself in the face than spend any more time with lawyers than I had to.

So, the miniature car scenario, no doubt you could win a case. Let's take it to the other extreme. Let's say the cup holder can only hold a kids juice box. Okay - probably don't have a case. The mini car - blatant false advertising. The cup holder, not so much. Our scenario with the...

3000 miles on my P85D now.... The thrill doesn't wear off. Although I've become accustomed to not expecting any deadlines to be hit, I'm still with WK on the main issue. Bottom line is they sold us a car that doesn't have what we paid for. It's that simple. Even as a shareholder I'd be...

I was thinking "somebody just needs to take the mic out of Elons hands. And shut down that Twitter account". I think that would solve 50% of the issue. But then I thought of the flip side. What if you had a company where the only information you ever got was from one of the hundreds of...

New download sent out today (after 6.1). Downloading now. Hoping it's the range update we've been waiting for.

Downloading new software update right now that was put out a couple hours ago. 1.5 hour download. Hopefully this is the range update they've been working on. Will report back in a couple hours. **installation complete** Nothing with range. Just looks like 6.1 again with a couple tweaks...

I thought it would be useful to start a thread related to the improvements in the P85D that will be rolled out in the future. Maybe I'm missing something, but I'm a bit surprised nobody is asking where their Autopilot is. Do we have any idea of when this will be activated? I'm guessing it's...

New software update downloaded today. Havent really had a chance to go through it in detail, but it appears adaptive cruise control is now in. There is now a backup cartoon thing that pops up on the camera when in reverse. And that's all I've got for now. I don't believe anything has been...

Yeah I think you're right.. I'm not convinced there is a change. It's weird, the 30 mile average is much lower than the trip tracker. The trip tracker is actually pretty much in line with what I used to get before the update. Very strange though - there was definitely a difference in the...

Back in in the states. Took a 600 mile road trip and wanted to compare it to my previous numbers. I'm still curious whether that update did anything for range. I think it definitely helps by about 5-10%. Here were my numbers a few weeks ago BEFORE the update: Alright so I just finished...

Sitting in vietnam and finally catching up on all this range talk... hoping the update fixed some of the issues, and I see it hasn't. Very interesting Elon removed his tweet. I think that's a pretty huge signal. Anyways - judging by Jerome's partial deflection saying "we tested cars with...

You should be completely fine. Make sure you keep it at cruise control at 60 or under. Sport mode obviously. Range mode on. Don't do any launches out of the gate. Wait until you are home. You should be able to average 380 wh/mi and roll into your destination with 30 miles to spare. I...

I planned for a 10-12 hour trip. It took 18 because I had to stop at every supercharging station that was out of my way... hence why my trip took me well into the wee hours of the night. But hey Elon says its worth it. Not sure how you came to the 100s of p85d theory. The nap in the...
