19,000? I took delivery in May and am not far behind with 17,000+. Good thing we are not on a lease program!

I'm thinking she meant 2.0 seconds. And even that would exceed the 40 MPH speed limit.

We enjoy cars so the money gets spent. Other interests that can get way more expensive: A passion for horses, or buying that big diesel crew cab with a 5th wheel for pulling that big ass camper . . hell, just gearing up for hunting or boating can be much more expensive than owning a Tesla...

Three mini moments: 1. At the guardhouse at work a new guard notices the handles are flush and asks how they work. So I push park and (of course) they present themselves and he's blown away . . long line, no time for Tesla talk. 2. At our last car show a man approached my wife and says, "You...

Yes, mine also had the lane lines showing on the display. And there was very little traffic or I would NEVER have allowed it to steer that far across the center line. And like I stated earlier, even the lines were very newly painted so easy for the system to read.

I have not noticed that yet. Doesn't mean it's not doing it. Unless of course it seems extreme

Last nights oddities: For about the first 5 to 7 minutes the system failed to "see" the speed limit signs and the headlights would not auto dim. When I engaged autopilot it held the set speed (48MPH), then slowed as speed restricted popped up, then sped back up, then slowed and sped up and...

We had a great time at the Landmark Park Car show. Probably 100 people stopped by and talked Tesla. Again, one of the primary questions was how much does one cost and why would I buy one? My only answer to the why is because I love cars and tech and this is the best of both. My passion is...

68 here and not liking the new UI as much as the older one.

I don't feel that was the case here. Just the day before I spent 7 hours detailing it for a car show. I did look closely at the camera opening and it appears there might be some clear (adhesive?) on the inside of the camera perhaps refracting sunlight. However I did not have this problem prior...

I've recently gotten the Ver. 8.0 update and fully expected the autopilot feature to be more responsive than it is. In straight line driving in traffic I found it (for the most part) reduces speed earlier and smoother when approaching stopped traffic and that was impressive. However, tonight on...

This might get long and wordy, but bear with me. Last fall I went to my local Dodge dealer with the Hellcat bug and wanted to buy one but refused to pay their stupid "limited production" premium of $15,000. so I passed. Needless to say, I bought an S 90 D and today I stopped by the dealer...

Simply put, more presets for the radio! Only 8? Are you kidding me? This is a computer based radio and should easily remember more presets.

Perhaps it is your location, our white 90D turns heads wherever we go. We can hardly get out of the car without the occasional Q/A session, some very brief, some quite lengthy.

Things like that are all my on my wife and she just left with the car for work. I will ask her, but for the most part I can tell you much of what is contained is simply cut and pasted right from the manual and other Tesla information and photos gathered from the net. I know there is one photo...

You might recall from one of my previous posts, my wife printed up a loose leaf binder for car shows and cruise in nights with FAQ'S about our S90D and we normally leave it displayed in the open trunk so the public can flip through it.

So far, Alabama is not Supercharger friendly but we have often used Jack Ingram Motors (Montgomery) and Benton Nissan of Hoover. Both have been very Tesla friendly. You would need a CHAdeMO adapter which comes in very handy not only here in Alabama but great to have along on road trips. I'm...

Landmark Park | Landmark Park Benefit Car Show

Weather permitting I'll be taking the Tesla to the areas largest car show at Landmark Park in Dothan Alabama on Oct 1st. I've already taken the Friday before the show to give the car a good cleaning. I even intend to wash the titanium belly and plan to bring a mirror to show that as well. I...

My wife does that every chance she gets . . .

I got that too, and finally got fed up and got an attitude with another guy I work with so told him something like this: Just look around the parking lot, Everybody has their "thing". There are crew cab dually diesel trucks with a 5th wheel in the back to pull huge campers. They also have a...

My wife intentionally turns that on all the time!

According to the instructions above, mine is VER 7.1! I had hoped with all the AP bruhaha, the updates would have come more quickly.

How can I (or is it do I) check what version of AP is currently installed on my 2016 MS90D?

Oh yes, it will do that. I meant WE cannot steer it manually with the summon app. It's like Muggado said, It will steer itself to avoid obstacles.

Here's the update and thanks to all replies on this thread. With the information gathered here I discovered the fob shell is replaceable. That tells me the shell can be removed to facilitate drying. I found what seems to be the only video on removing the case: and used the other information...

No, I did not hold the summon button down although that would be an alternate, though more clumsy way to get the job done. And, yes, it will stop by itself and not careen into the wall. I told my wife to pull up to the garage, push park twice (which brings up auto park), push the appropriate...

While wet I am not about to try it. I have it drying now . . . (and no, not in the clothes dryer)

This is going to sound stupid, and I feel that way but here goes. I just dug my key fob out of the washing machine! Has anyone had any luck with it working after being subjected to this mistreatment? I know my wife has washed (and dried) her Prius fob and it continues to work!

We were not using AP, just cruise. Manually steering with a cautious foot over the brake prepared to slow if necessary.

I might be reading way too much into just how/why the car slows down for the curves, but I feel the camera is reading the radius of the curve and the on board computer knows the approximate weight so adjusts the speed according to algorithms programmed into it. And, it could be a combination of...

However, the MS does have a fish eye (?) rear camera that allows you to actually see what is coming from either direction behind you.

Here is an example of my first try at auto parking in the garage: Wyse Decision: Charge It - Videos | Facebook

However, when AP is engaged it fails to reduce speed accordingly until well into the speeding ticket zone.

AP does NOT discriminate against debris or pot holes and will charge right through anything like that in its path. That is where manually taking over comes in!

Mine sees 10 MPH speed limit sign as 70! That can get me in trouble on a military base.

I'm in lower Alabama near Dothan and mapping all I can! I do feel that it learns somewhat as there is a tight (ish) curve with a guardrail on my daily drive to work and the first couple tries on AP I felt the car came too close and I took over control. It now navigates the curve just fine.

Like I've said on other threads . . . move your seat forward! It will help maintain WOT at launch as the G-forced tend to push your weight away from it. Yes, practical experience here!

My S90D takes turns like it's on rails, however, keep in mind the Tesla has a very low CG but weighs 2 1/4 Tons! That's a lot of weight to sling around sharper turns at speed.

Yes indeed! Move your drivers seat farther forward than normal. Practical experience has shown me that the G-force at launch will lighten your pressure on the go pedal.

The video is still uploading to U-Tube. If their estimated time is correct it should be available after 9:30 AM CST.

My wife and I both enjoy AP and it will slow for curves, but on a really twisty/curvy (mountain pass) we just used the cruise and did the driving. I feel the car actually may have taken the sharper curves more cautiously than I would have had I been controlling the speed. We have a short...

It is my garage, and she used to love her Prius!

I live too far from any of the (recommended) Tesla charger installers so asked the local company I normally use. He was so glad to help he did the installation of an HPWC and the 220V outlet for cost+! He is researching all he can get his hands on to get on the list of recognized installers.

Autopark only seems to work well if there are other cars in the garage. With no other cars (or walls) to define the space it will center itself on the opening. Perhaps Tesla could come up with a centering device we could mount on the back wall for the car to align its self with? That would be cool.

That's my wife . . . didn't want anything to do with Tesla just a year ago. Now it takes a prybar to get her out of it!

Not trying to be curt mind you, but we have pretty much decided to answer that question simply with "Google it". Or go to Tesla.com and price one out.

When we picked up our draft it was specified we must bring the car by so they could see it. So the very next day after picking up our MS in Orlando, we brought it by. It took an hour and a half to give every employee in there a quick demonstration ride!

My wife and I were on a road trip with our MS and we noticed a beautiful newer Vette pacing us. He passed and the couple both gave us the thumbs up, We felt the same about the Vette and returned the same. Shortly after, we pulled into a rest area and, of all things parked right next to them...

I have to say right here and now as a S90D owner (and loving it) I would have totally enjoyed having the P90DL logo on the rear. Even if I would never use it, the car guys (and gals) know that logo and respect it! It will also increase the resale value when that time comes.
