hahahha, that’s nothing! Here in Europe they sell model s/x without delivering a car since a couple of years back. No cars on the horizon and no upgrade path for us who want a new car. They simply doesn’t exist, only broken promises at this point. Many loyal buyers looking at alternatives now.

oook, just speculation- no leaks really. Doubt we’ll see them this year :-(

What delivery leaks would that be? Everyone here who ordered is kept in the dark.

They claimed second half of 2022, but don’t believe it until you’ve seen it. Tesla truly awfully dropped the ball with model s/x and ’the rest of the world’. The communication is emitting Hawking radiation at this point. I hope to get delivery next year q2-q3, as hope is the last thing that...

I just opened a service ticket with the app and said I wanted a quote as I now got a 90kwh that was throttled (basically booked a service visit) - got reply next day. I paid the invoice and the reconfiguration will be done remotely in the upcoming week.

Fyi, I got to unlock remaining capacity for approx 800EUR so it’ll officially be a 90kwh car now, for some longer trips that’s handy and thinking it’ll pay itself back in resale anyway.

Got it back. software charge limit capped to 400km though.

But that is exactly the reason why American and imperial gallons differ in volume!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 really!

Ok, it's the 1014116-00-B 90kWH part, not reman, seems I am getting lucky!

Under warranty. Unclear what replacement I will get as of yet. Can try to report back with exact model when I get it.

For future people reading: HV battery dead due to internal fault. Replacement ordered.

I’d assume Tesla.com - a bit expensive upgrade though.

yeah, I got the ground stud front replaced previously: Corrections: Vehicle Alerts General Diagnosis Inspected the costumer concern and found that the front rail ground stud is corroded. Corrections: Grounding Stud - Front Rail - RH The grounding needs to be removed and replaced.

12v replaced this year and was measured at 12.1V when being towed when trying to resuscitate the car. I have a vague memory fixing one ground stud earlier , but there are so many trips to SC with the car over time I’ve frankly lost track - that being said I still have loved this car, but hope...

it will be awesome when driving with gloves.

Got towed with dead car (couldn’t be put in gear, then screens went black). 12V replaced during last year. Tower tried giving 12V through external booster, but screen stayed black. 2015 P85DL see screenshot. Anyone has a clue what could be root cause?

If it does close to 4s 100-200km/h, that would be spectacular.

Looking forward to the new round wheel design with a perfectly transparent optical quality glass half on the upper half - then you can see through it instead, but still have a proper wheel.

Yeah, due mid 2040:s…

The pro forma invoice I’ve got before they even have had a look contains a replacement of: Intermediate Shaft - Steering Column - Lower (Dual Motor)

did you sort this out? I have exactly the same with my p85dl. Quite sure they did the steering bolt recall adjustment in one of my 20 visits to the SC…

(Stuck — much more force needed to continue turning and it won’t come back if release wheel as it usually would if not applying force)

Some more info: the steering wheel seems to get stuck both left/right when going to 90 degrees or more - need to apply force to move it back to center many guesses on cause? Ok to drive?

I just had the feeling that the steering felt weird and nailed it down to the following: when turning right and releasing torque, the steering wheel goes back to neutral position as usual when I release torque on the wheel. ‘’when turning left, it goes much more slowly and almost a bit choppy...

That would then be Elon-speak (why, oh why, am I thinking of NewSpeak and G. Orwell) for "the 4680 cells are currently exploding and burning worse than someone who tried to do home cooked napalm, but we hope some aliens soon will help us sort it out, that's why I'm running SpaceX on the side!"...

X10-X13 are all produced refresh model S/X so far, surely!

Yeah, for new orders only - I waited to place an order for a Plaid+ until the first deliveries were made in february-march to get some reviews... LOL. But good luck with the November estimated delivery! (sincerely) I would't bet on it.

Over here deliveries are Q1 2022. Except for Plaid+, that is (presumable much) later. Basically a year out. I'm amazed of the absolute clusterf*ck the new rollout is.

Yeah. Quite content I didn't place that order for the Plaid+ as I planned to. Will now wait until it is actually delivered to others. Get this bad feeling like they marketed the P85D from the beginning with like 692hp. Just not practically true.

Well, I've just started to view what Elon spouts out as what this guy used to do: Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf - Wikipedia Then there's no disappointments. Better go on what's reported by actual owners as being delivered - that is what truly exists in the real world - not even the website is...

Well, the same guy has said more about various cryptocurrencies than the model s for basically any time period. I love my model s, but the company has truly an epic failure in how it communicates.

Although they are late - again. No shipment Q1, lets see if they manage to ship any updates during Q2. I'm getting a bit sad thinking the 4680 will add too much Elon time to it, not expecting it for real here in Europe until Q3 next year now unless they start to get their house in order. The...

That would be nice. But they hardly do that for most of the new features they roll out. Anyway, you can get the usual round one instead, it seems it will be an option.

I'd say the span May - September is good, with the best June-August (then you get summer) - aim for Mid-June if you want sunset closer to midnight than usual ;-)

We are differently built....

I also wonder...

more room for legs under (good for some of us) and better view of dash

did you turn that yoke two revolutions? I like the yoke, but it doesn’t seem the same as in airplane to my eyes, but haven’t flown a plane - thus asking.

around the same time Elon has his follow-up call with more details?/

‘I think it will work exactly as in the videos, and be good enough to sell well.

I think it is just the right way to think about it, my experience from driving left-traffic (after a 30 hour flight) was that it was a non-issue after the first hour or so. Then it felt weird when I came home, almost drove on wrong side of the road first time when back... :-)

that’s cool. I personally think it’s disingenuous to call something vegan leather. Better to have a brand like alcantara Otherwise we could call cars mechanical horses. Better to use new terms for new things.

Fully agree 100%. This is one reason why I don't upgrade to the Plaid until I've seen how it survives the first few months. Unless they've really learnt something and done their homework, I doubt a Plaid powertrain allows the half-shafts to survive more than a couple of months. Much less the...

That is how mine felt before the updated pads/front rotor.

I got it through Tesla - see attached screenshot. At earlier models they also switched to different rotors - but my car already had those. Done March 2018.

Should give him credit for pulling together the next team. What they accomplished was serious nextgen for its time. It’s the foundation tech for all apple devices software today and saved apple from extinction in the late 90s. The late mr Jobs might have been an a-hole in the 80s, but the...

I have a much older car, but got my breaks replaced by Tesla to some “winter package” as they worked crap during winter. Made the car new. Maybe someone else knows the difference (might be that you car already has such ones from factory).

was that the doom when they rolled out the iPod, iTunes or iPhone? I keep forgetting. Apple is doomed so often since Jobs came back it’s hard to keep track.

Agree, although bikers (rarely) turn the handles upside-down ;-)
