    I have a 2017 AP2.0 MS and just installed it, so no.

    WTB XXL Tesla Corp Jacket - Black

    Thank you sir, ordered and received it in XXL. I tried an XXXL, and was too large even for this rotund figure.

    WTB XXL Tesla Corp Jacket - Black

    Yeah I'd normally go with an XL, thus the XXL. I'll try the XXXL and see what happens.

    WTB XXL Tesla Corp Jacket - Black

    This, in size XXL - I've tried asking the retail folks and they're all on Elon time too. ::sigh::

    Model S cannot be ordered with a metal roof AT ALL now?

    My 3 year old adores my Model S. "Daddy, Xena is magic!". Her car seat fits fine and she loves the pano roof.

    What Swag did Tesla give you at delivery?

    Got an umbrella that i'll never use, but looks good in the trunk!

    So go whine about it in the Model 3 forum.

    LTE connection not working after Canada trip

    Quick update, rebooted again before I went into the office. Still wasn't able to wake the car and view status via the app, but when i went out to go to lunch the LTE came back after startup.

    LTE connection not working after Canada trip

    Went to Canada (from New York) yesterday on a day trip - took 10 miles, but the LTE started working on Canadian provider. After returning, it wasn't working so I figured it would sort out overnight. Still isn't working - I've tried the console reboot, to no avail. Called Tesla support and may be...

    anyone else placed last minute order for S 60

    I ordered mine on the last day for unlimited supercharging, January 15th - I picked up April 3rd, but car was ready for deliver at the Service Center by March 22 (NY).

    Blackvue 650 - front camera w/ AP2 hardware?

    A number of the install videos I've seen for the Blackvue 650 involve routing the cables through the front camera enclosure - anyone with AP2 do it this way, and if so - any concern with AP camera interference? Thanks!

    Help, A-Pillar Defect Found

    OP is in Canadia, NHTSA ain't going to be much help.

    Help, A-Pillar Defect Found

    Good point, likely ripped during stamping - not sure what else would exert that kind of force, other than a collision.

    Help, A-Pillar Defect Found

    Quick google image search came back with this. Unless they're replacing the whole side panel (how???), time for a new car.

    Help, A-Pillar Defect Found

    Not to mention that, but it looks like the metal is shearing - imagine the forces at work pulling that A pillar apart? Something is definitely not right with the car.

    Help, A-Pillar Defect Found

    Damn, given the way the car's constructed I wonder if that's replacement territory?

    Picking up my S tomorrow!

    My wife hadn't seen the car until I got it home, and was like "you could sleep back there!" when I opened the hatch. My reply? "Keep that thought, with how much we paid for the car that may be an option" :D

    Picking up my S tomorrow!

    Thanks! I dropped it off today for Opticoat and I'm back to driving my ICE for the 36 hours. That car has ruined me for all other cars in ONE day. My one major gripe is the Service Center didn't apply the upgrade before I got there, so I had ~400 miles with no driver assist features. I LOVED...

    Picking up my S tomorrow!

    How's this? Drove home 400 miles so made a couple SC stops. Wow!!

    Picking up my S tomorrow!

    Thanks, great stuff, the nearest service center is 100+ miles away so I'll need to be on point tomorrow.

    From swag to delivery checklist stuff that isn't on the checklist - feel free to share!

    Why did you cancel your Model 3 reservation?

    There's intrinsic value (to me) of knowing - not based off internet hearsay or frame-by-frame analysis of prototypes. I know I fit in a Model S, I can afford it, I love the car so I bought it.
  23. thegangler

    Why did you cancel your Model 3 reservation?

    I'm 6'6" and was also skeptical of the cabin room I'd be afforded in a 3. I'd rather have my car than wait 20 months to find out my Sasquatch ass doesn't fit in the drivers seat, regardless of who's driving.
  24. thegangler

    Why did you cancel your Model 3 reservation?

    I did this to "preview" the Model 3 I had just reserved. Picking up my Model S next Monday. o_O

    Current owner - reserve M3 for a friend?

    Yeah, seems a bit tricky. Guess i'll just reserve one for my wife, tho wouldn't want to take delivery until Jan. 2018 given I just bought a Model S this year.

    19 days from order to delivery!!!

    I have to reach out to my DS so often I feel like a pest - just curious how you're getting these updates? I did finally reach out today to make sure she was in a safe place - she's at the local "transport hub", awaiting my selected delivery date.
  28. thegangler

    Current owner - reserve M3 for a friend?

    Just wondering if that would work - probably won't be able to transfer, but I could buy it then sell it. My primary concern would be the tax implications - he lives in another state.

    Financing - non-Alliant options?

    Emailed the Tesla financing guy, they can only get TechCU rates for CA residents? Suggested I reach out to them directly. FIlled out an app on their site yesterday, they got back to me today. Financed to 100% @ 1.74% for 72 months - a no brainer.

    I drove through London, ON last week on my way to Detroit - there's a supercharger there! So yes, London is in Canada.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Production started on 2/28, finished today - "delivery between March 24, 2017 to April 07, 2017." Wahoo!!!!

    Financing - non-Alliant options?

    I requested a date in April - no SC nearby and they were going to deliver, but I'd rather pick it up in case there are issues. We have a family trip that just happens to be near a service center, so thus I scheduled it for then.

    Financing - non-Alliant options?

    That's awesome, my delivery is scheduled for April 8 so I have a week before I give them a call - congrats!

    Mine entered production last night ~ 8PM Eastern.

    Financing - non-Alliant options?

    Good call, my pickup is scheduled for April 8th, so may just work out. Of course any delays to delivery could blow that plan out of the water..

    Thanks to the TMC community from a new owner!

    I started with the solar in late 2016, even factoring in the increased utilization of owning a Model S when spec'ing out the system. Snuck in on the last day of free supercharging for life, and after getting ~15 mpg the last few years, I'm looking forward to free fuel.

    Financing - non-Alliant options?

    That was with $8k down.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I'm also > 180 miles from a SC, so they were going to ship the car to my house. My concern was the delivery issues I've heard re: paint, misaligned components. I know I could refuse delivery at my house, but could see that extending out the process significantly. I'm not accepting delivery of...

    You have the same dates as me, I'm in Buffalo, NY - let's see who's gets delivered first. :)

    Thanks to the TMC community from a new owner!

    Congrats! I went through the same thing. I can afford it, but i'm also frugal (ok cheap), and spending this much on a car? Right now I drive a 2001 4Runner with 38k original miles. I'm justifying it to myself that it's more than a car, it's an experience. Mine's a M60D, delivery in April.

    Financing - non-Alliant options?

    Yeah CU rates in my area suck, and Alliant came back at 2.74% for 72. These guys gave me a rate of 2.24% for 72 months, Rates | UNIFY Financial Credit Union
  44. thegangler

    Financing - non-Alliant options?

    Got a quote for 1.99 for 60, or 3.09 for 72. Will probably go with Alliant @ 2.49 if that's the best financing through Tesla can do.
  45. thegangler

    Financing - non-Alliant options?

    I just applied even though I'm 45 days out, will update when I hear back. I applied ~45minutes ago and my Sales Advisor already emailed to let me know I was approved. My Delivery Specialist won't even reply to my emails, stark contrast.
  46. thegangler

    Financing - non-Alliant options?

    Looking at their sites, the lowest rate is up to to 2.49% :mad: Any other options? My delivery is set for next month and I know rates are on the rise, but figure it's worth a shot.
