    Update

    The map update is independent of the overall software update process. When you get the software update that updates the key fob/driver profile link, equalizer, etc., you will be asked when you want it installed and after installation will be shown the "what's new" text listing for the update...

    Firmware 8.0

    Got 2.42.40 last night. Drove to airport today (about 40 miles). Autopilot now asks me to put my hands in the wheel every minute or two, even when stopped at a traffic light! Never had that before. Just to be clear -- had to jiggle the wheel twice while waiting at one red long red light...

    Voice control

    My problem is I can't get my car to recognize my own last name (to call my wife at home). Have no accent or drawl. But my last name is Sandhaus: "Call Dot Sandhaus" Call Santa? Not found. CALL. . . DOT . . . SAND. . . HOUSE! Call Doctor Santa? Not found. Oh well

    Model S with 3 kids

    I was under the impression that an MS with factory-installed rear facing seats had extra impact protection built into the rear of the car.

    UhOh

    I believe you didn't read the end of my last sentence.

    UhOh

    I disagree with those who say that rice doesn't work. I did exactly what the OP did and washed my fob. I took the battery out, dried everything I could and also tried the fob (which I understand now is a no-no) and documented that it wasn't working. I then placed it without the battery into a...

    Questions for Colorado Tesla owners

    Sorry for taking so long to update. Kind of forgot. My trip to Salida was wonderful. What a great drive -- just beautiful scenery the whole way and back. Might have been able to make it round trip without charging but decided the buffer of extra charge would make me more comfortable. So I...

    Auto High Beams no longer works well

    I've noticed the same. I live at the end of a dark street next to a lake. In the past (last month) the high beams would come on as soon as I turned onto my street and stay on until I arrived home. Now they flick on for less than a second several time while driving down that same street. One...

    Questions for Colorado Tesla owners

    I'm a relatively new Colorado Model S owner and have done quite a bit of driving around the state with no problems. On Friday (April 22), I have an appointment in Salida (live in Littleton) which I probably can't do round trip without a charge (round trip driving distance about 284 miles plus...

    First Supercharger Visit

    Enjoy every moment of the introduction to your MS. The Tesla grin is permanent !

    First Supercharger Visit

    Just visited my very first supercharger. Drove from Denver to Silverthorn Supercharger. Terrible traffic on I-70 in both directions. Anyway, just wanted to be sure my new car would charge well at a Supercharger -- hate to find out there was a problem while starting out a long trip. All went...

    what changed compared to a year ago

    Very strange since my MS was delivered on Friday -- four days ago.

    Newbie questions and an observation

    Thanks for the responses so far and it's great to finally be a member with a Tesla, rather than a Tesla-wannabe as I've been before this week.

    what changed compared to a year ago

    "no more beep when the rear hatch is closing" Just picked up my new S90D and my rear hatch beeps at the start of closing. Or did you mean your older S beeps during the entire closing process?

    Newbie questions and an observation

    Today was my first full day with our MS after taking delivery yesterday afternoon. My wife and I took a wonderful back-roads drive from Denver to Colorado Springs and stopped off at a bunch of places along the way. On one of the stops, when I got in the car and took off, pulling the TACC...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Unfortunately, I fly out of town on the 13th for a week, so I'll be leaving my car in the airport parking lot after a day and half of driving it like mad. Maybe I'll take an Uber to the airport and leave the car in my own garage. That sounds like a better solution. Sandy

    Just can't figure out how to plug my Audi into the new charging station. . .

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Thanks, Art. Got the charging station already installed, 3 year service plan in place, and insurance all set. My status just changed again (twice in one day) to "in transit" and the delivery date has narrowed to March 7-14! See, it pays to check MyTesla every hour :wink:. Sandy

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Great looking car, Art. I especially like its looks because my car will also be a 90D (but without the "p") in Midnight Silver with tan leather. My status just updated today from delivery in "March/early April" to delivery "March 8 to March 22". Although it still says it is "in production,"...

    Lease vs. Finance in "Tesla goes bankrupt" worst case scenario

    I also think that a very tangible problem would be the demise of the "free" supercharger network. Either someone would purchase the infrastructure and charge for it (no pun intended), or it would become a relic of a distant age of beautiful cars and fall into disrepair.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Hi. Thought I'd add my car to those posting their timing. Just heard today that it "entered production". Ordered on 1/29/16, confirmed on 2/6/16. Delivery estimate has jumped around since then (although now there is no delivery estimate showing anymore). My baby: S90D, Midnight Silver, Tan...

    Porsche 911 out - Tesla Model S in?

    Just sold my Targa 4S and will sell my 16 year old Audi S4 to get the 90D. I've had the Targa 5 years and only put 16,000 miles on it -- that's the problem. Live in Colorado, never drive the Porsche in the winter. Such a shame. Now I'll have an MS to replace both. Since it hasn't been...

    Retroactive Referral Discount?

    Received a referral from a friend the other day but had ordered my MS on 2/5/16. I emailed my DS on Friday and he got back to me yesterday (Saturday, 2/20) and said once the car is ordered, the referral credit can't be applied. He apologized and wrote "I had to do a little digging to make sure...

    Official: Model S Service Plans

    Bmah Thanks! I sure missed that. I was told every service visit was $600 when I placed my order 3 weeks ago. Sandy

    Official: Model S Service Plans

    My reading of the new 3 year plan is that it costs about $442 per visit (x 3 = ~$1325). The 4 year plan winds up costing $525 per visit and costs just under $800 more for the extra year. This means that if I buy a 3-year plan and pay $600 for the 4th visit, I've still saved money over the 4...

    New Denver Owner

    Thanks for the info about the signature. Forgot to mention in my configuration: air suspension and keeping the stock wheels. Sold my Porsche Targa 4S to get this. Big change for someone who's never owned a big car and never owned a car without a clutch. Air suspension because I'm tired of...

    New Denver Owner

    Hi, Sandy here. Ordered a Model S (which I now know to call an MS) in late January. Delivery date sometime in February, March, or April (keeps changing). Live in wonderful Denver, Colorado and was so happy when the D models were introduced. One question: How do you enter a signature on the...

    New Order, March Delivery?

    I ordered a couple of weeks ago (90D). Signed up for lease deal. Was given a late February/early March estimated delivery. Then I decided to finance myself. As soon as I cancelled the lease application, the delivery date moved to late March/early April. Don't know if the change is related...
