    Keeping Reservation price

    Changes to things like battery size, color, etc might make sense, but FSD literally changes nothing about the vehicle and can be done post delivery. Also, it seems weird that they can’t undo the change and go back to the agreement I had before. lesson learned I guess.

    Keeping Reservation price

    All, would love the hive mind here to help me navigate this with Tesla. I pulled the trigger a few months ago on a reservation for plaid+. At the time I didn’t add FSD. Thinking about it the past few weeks and seeing the progress, I decided to ask the reservation advisor who texted me after I...

    Biodefense Order Tracker - For Non-PUP Old-Timers

    Thanks for the heads up on this thread. Didn't realize this was now an option. Ordered tonight. I have a HEPA filter I got Amazon that I installed when i first go the car, but I've always been suspect of its actual performance. It'll be nice to have the real deal installed with the on-screen...

    TireRack / Winter Tires

    As an update, they tried putting the wheels on the model x (TireRack Sport Edition WX5) and they won't fit without spacers. Looking into getting spacers ...

    TireRack / Winter Tires

    Hi all, I’ve been trying to research this, but not being a wheel/tire expert, it’s proving very difficult. I hope someone here is smarter at this than I am or has experience running winter tires. I have a Range Rover Sport I’m selling to get my Model X. A few years ago, I bought a wheel/tire...

    Dominion EV charging plans

    Chiming in here with some information from my experience. I used to be in the Home EV Pilot until we moved a few months ago to a new home. While the EV plan wasnt available, we went with the Schedule 1s plan...

    Autosteer 7.1 v/s 7.0

    Nagging has definitely increased, however, it is not a "timed" nag - From my observations, the increases in nagging are in areas right before where there is a statistically significant number of people have forcibly taken over autopilot. - So this isn't necessarily a spot for road markings are...

    Weird Rear Camera view

    Anyone else have this happen? Has only happened to me once, while backing in to park in a spot Top half of camera image is on the bottom, and bottom half of camera image is on the top. If folks remember from the old CRT TV days, it would be like if the V-HOLD was messed up...

    FR: Remote View cameras

    There are a number of times when I wish I knew what was going on with my car. - Parked in sketchy neighborhood/valet/parking garage - adverse weather - "Plugout detected" notifications down the road, with summon, I would imagine it would be good to keep tabs on the car as it is en-route 1...

    VA automatic emissions testing

    I know we're exempt from this in VA, but its an interesting concept. I wonder if this would have caught the VW cheating since the car is actually driving when its sampling.

    Vibration in steering wheel using AutoPilot

    Hey all, When we all got the new Autopilot update, I noticed a new vibrating noise that I hadn't heard before. At first, I thought it was just the new compressor cycle settings in the A/C. However, now that I've been using AutoPilot more and driving around more I noticed that it is actually...

    Back to the future app for the Model S screen

    This is awesome. Minor point though, it looks like in v7, the half height browser window is now slightly taller, so there is now a white horizontal bar under the graphic.

    rattles and noises

    Went "off-roading" a little bit this weekend when we went apple picking. Noticed a few things 1. The "leather" dash top and the plastic underside piece right over the speedometer rattle when the car is on rough terrain. After fiddling around with it a little, I was surprised at how flimsy this...

    Dulles Parking

    My second trip to dulles in the tesla, had a few thoughts... 1. First minor gripe on Nav. Nav to Dulles seems to want to route me to the runway. Not useful. Not sure if this is a gap between google maps and the nav system. Workaround is to just select any other address on a street near the...

    Updated or defective Horn?

    I'm glad that it is defective and that it isn't actually supposed to sound that way. Thanks everyone, I'll call the service center tomorrow.

    Mines not quite a rooster screaming under water. Also, it's been like this since day 1.

    Updated or defective Horn?

    I have a 70D, production date 8/2015. The horn I have is a single tone instead of a dual tone. To me, it sounds a bit weak. It sounds like in the past the horn has been a standard dual tone horn. Can anyone else with a recent build confirm that this is an update or is mine defective? I found a...

    Supercharge twice or drive farther and supercharge once?

    Thanks for all the tips folks. I'll be doing my first road trip next week. 440 miles each way... 1. EV Trip planner is awesome, but there is no 70D love. You would think that it would be easy to add? Does the site creator use TMC? 2. I live close to a supercharger, and I'm hoping to skip the...

    HOV access lobby

    Given how much we pay in taxes on these cars (property + EV Tax), shouldn't Virginia incentivize purchasing these cars by giving us HOV access? I understand not wanting to clog the roads with hybrids, but EV's are still very rare.

    Auto pilot beta testing out

    This is interesting. I was wondering if the auto-pilot would only be enabled/available on highways.

    LTE fails after car sleeps and wakes up

    This has happened to me once. I have LTE. Parked in a garage with not great signal during the day, my battery was a little low, I'm guessing that's why the car went into sleep. I tried rebooting a few times on my own and with a tech on the line. Each time I rebooted, I noticed that the bars...

    Supercharge twice or drive farther and supercharge once?

    I haven't done a road trip yet that has required supercharging, but I would like to soon and I've been playing around with routes/charging with evtripplanner. We're fortunate that Superchargers are now dense enough where we wouldn't have to stop at each one and instead could drive to the next...

    Battery advice apples to other devices?

    Sorry, I think I had apple on the mind. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I can update the thread name. To everyone, thanks for this info. I'll definitely keep it in mind as I use my other devices.

    Battery advice apples to other devices?

    Battery advice applies to other devices? So after reading this forum, it seems pretty clear that I shouldn't regularly charge my tesla to 100% because it isn't good for the pack. Does this hold true for my laptop, apple watch, and my iphone as well? Should I be charging up to 90% on those as...

    Security from the frontlines... (OR How to Hack A Model S talk at DEFCON)

    Until we see the actual hack, a lot of this is just pure speculation on our parts. However, regardless of how this specific hack works, I am always going to be a little worried that there isn't a complete air gap between functions that control the critical functions of the car and the internet...

    Window tint to match ordering page?

    I know that the windows on the tesla rendering on the "My Tesla" page are probably photoshopped, but if I wanted to recreate the look, what percentage would I go for? It looks like it would be fairly light?

    Recommendations on a first drive?

    Picking up my 70D in a few weeks from Tysons Corner. I've told my wife to expect to go on a drive after we pick the car up. I don't plan on an overnight trip, but am curious to drive the car around a bit. I've only been in the car for 2 test drives. I also am curious to try supercharging. Any...

    Security from the frontlines... (OR How to Hack A Model S talk at DEFCON)

    Also realize that all Teslas are on the AT&T cellular network. Even though all remote access calls should go through Tesla servers, this doesn't mean that the car isn't exposed to the open internet. A bad actor with your car's IP address and the right credentials or authentication bypass will...

    Bummer - Three weeks on train?

    baxiii, I think I'm in the same boat (or train) as you. However, the "My tesla" site still says "Late July" for me. Out of curiousity does yours say July or August?

    Bummer - Three weeks on train?

    I got similar information from my DS as well. 3 weeks to NJ, and then a few more days to get it to local. - - - Updated - - - Also, FWIW, my car was ordered 6/28, went into production earlier this week, but the website still has a delivery estimate of late july...
