Stopped in to the supercharger in the Meijer parking lot on the way back from Cedar Point today and noticed the bank of stalls is split and 6 of the 10 stalls are separated by fencing (the way the fencing is set up, one of the stalls can't be used). Pic attached. In total 9 of the 10 chargers...

Ha, fair enough. Didn't know that existed- just stumbled on this thread through Reddit. I'm not interested in arguing with anyone. Just going to go back to enjoying the car.... I'll keep my 2 cents to myself in the future.

Seriously, please stop discussing this on the forums. Otherwise, kindly decline to participate in the early access program if you're not going to respect your end of the bargain. Not trying to be a jerk but if Tesla says "here, try this out and provide feedback if you want but we ask that you...

I've been eyeing these Thule Aeroblade Roof Bars and have been unable to find any pics of a car with them installed. Everyone seems to have gone with the Whispbar style (Thule example here). I prefer the look of the Whispbar style but I'm worried about having enough room for 2+ bikes.. Has...

The bottom line: I have a 3cm scratch on the inside of my sunroof over the front passenger seat (see attached pic). I'm looking for suggestions for ways to fix it at home (if that's even possible). The longer version: On delivery day I saw what I thought was a streak of residue on the inside...

Same here. Got the notification that an update was available while out of town. On returning I no longer have any prompt about a new update. Firmware 2017.40.1 e29b97f.

The MyTesla page is notoriously inaccurate for delivery time frames. Sometimes it changes to later dates and then changes back to earlier dates. Sometimes it takes seemingly forever to update. Your best bet in my opinion is to speak with your DS. Yes, there are lots of stories about bad...

There is a solution. Please note that on newer model vehicles you need to do more than touch the handles. The handles require a firm press inward then the handles will extend.

Mine did not update for several days until I messaged my DS and asked him about it. He did something on the Tesla end and it was fixed.

So, I've got my Blackvue 750S set up in my Model S and everything is working properly except that the darned Windows software doesn't seem to play well with high resolution screens (Using Windows 10 on a Dell XPS 13 9350 with default screen resolution of 3200 x 1800). The text in the Windows...

Yes- confirmed: Model S Delivery Update It takes enough force to make me worried about breaking them.

I took delivery on 9/29. Personal check was fine. No credit cards. I brought my proof of insurance and my DS finalized the paperwork while I got my tour of the car. Then paperwork was signed and I was on my way. You do not lose any leverage if you've used ACH. You still have to sign for...

Congrats!!

They told me that this was a side effect of changes to the handles that were implemented to make them simpler and thus more reliable. I'm not going to complain about more reliable handles!

To those who are taking delivery or have taken delivery recently: The door handles evidently require a little more pressure on them than previous models in order to trigger them to present (ex. when the key is in the car and you want to open the handles from the outside). I made a service...

The issue may be a little more complex than this.... There's a long discussion going on in this thread. But one of the key posts is quoted here:

Thanks so much! That white clip on the warning beeper gave me fits. Wish I would have known about it 2 days ago :rolleyes: This should make the re-installation easier!

Yesterday I started installation of my BlackVue 750S - 2CH dashcam, leaning heavily on the videos from @DÆrik (Dashcam and Lighted Rear Applique for more wiring info). I broke several clips (which I expected to do) and successfully fished my video cable to the correct location. However, I...

:) No need to cut out Starbucks- I feel like I'd be tempting fate with white seats :D But, to clarify, I'm not trying to raise a stink about paying $0.50 more per month. I was just curious as to why the discrepancy was there but for curiosity only.

From the front of the car to the mirrors + a strip along the rear where luggage might hit when loading. I'll be getting Opticoat over the entire thing after that.

Took delivery today and drove it to Performance Auto Spa for Xpel. Will pick up again in the morning.

Delivery happened! The folks at the Columbus, OH Service Center couldn't have done a better job. The car was ready when I arrived. I gave my DS my proof of insurance and while he finalized the paperwork another DS walked me through the car's operation and features. There wasn't a lot of new...

Where did you get the irrigation tubing?

So I'm taking delivery of my car in about 8 hours and I got the Retail Installment Contract about several hours ago to review. No matter how hard I try, I can't figure out how to reconcile my expected loan payment (based on several methods of calculation) with the one in the contract (Wells...

Columbus, OH Update: The car has arrived and I have delivery scheduled for 10am tomorrow! Fingers crossed there aren't any major issues as I go through the checklist. I'll be taking the car directly from Tesla to get Xpel applied from the front of the car to the mirrors + the rear luggage...

I'm taking delivery in the next day or two- while my specs show APH2, my DS told me a week or two ago that AEB wouldn't be operational at delivery for the reasons in the e-mail you received. I didn't post because I didn't have official confirmation like your e-mail. But now it looks like the...

Thanks for the reassurance. As for the answer to the have/capable/afford question- yes/yes/yes. I chose not to bump up because I figured the extra range would only save me about 3-4 hours per year in charging time at superchargers spread out over several long distance trips and I didn't think...

I have to admit, after reading your post I'm having a little anxiety about my 75D scheduled to be delivered in the next few days. I have a 120 mile round trip commute (65-70mph highway for 95% of the drive) with no available charging during the day. The range was the only reason I considered the...

Columbus update: My DS let me know that their logistics group still has the car arriving to Columbus on 9/29. However, he said there is a chance it could arrive tomorrow. The map he attached shows the car just outside of Champaign, IL which is 4.5 - 5 hours from Columbus. I guess it just...

Is anyone else taking delivery in Columbus, OH? My DS is not being quick to respond to e-mails at the moment (assuming that's due to the volume of end of quarter deliveries). The last I heard was that my car would arrive on 9/29 to the service center for pickup on 9/30. Anyone have similar or...

One way to see the codes is to click on "ViewSpec" in MyTesla. In the address bar of the new page you'll see the option codes listed.

See this thread for decoding options: [Web app] What does the option codes for your car mean?

That's something I might look into, but I'm not sure what ramifications there would be to my credit if they run it again for an approval after already getting it run by Tesla (Well's Fargo technically).

I guess I'm just worried because even after they get it on a truck (which it didn't sound like it was yesterday), that's only 6 days to get it to Columbus. Any number of things could happen to delay a truck full of cars from CA. There will be no delaying delivery if there is anything wrong with...

Well, current status is as follows: Order confirmed 8/20 In production 9/12 MyTesla still reads: "Your Tesla is currently in production." With "Estimated Delivery Range: September 25, 2017- October 9, 2017" Updated today by my DS that the car has completed production (despite the MyTesla data)...

I waited months upon months to place my order, playing the "Just wait a little more and see what they announce" game. It's both a winning and a losing game. The longer you wait the better chance you have of them adding something new. But as others have said, that's more time during which you...

I've been following the saga of your customer service nightmare. As far as the finance stuff goes, what was the timeline? Did you have an official 0.99% offer from the Regional Credit Analyst which then expired?

MyTesla page changed last night to note that the car is in production! However, still listing APH2, not APH3. I've reached out to my DS and will report back with any info.

I would say "not authoritative at all" in the sense that nothing with Tesla timelines seems to be guaranteed (you need only go back a few pages in this thread to read about timeline changes and delays). That being said, Tesla is highly motivated to deliver as many cars as possible by the end of...

Talked to Tim at Performance Auto Spa. He recommended Xpel or Llumar film and the coating with a product called Cilajet intead of Opticoat. Any thoughts? Hadn't heard of Cilajet before. I called Toy Barn and they're training a new person for Xpel so they're not currently installing it.

Performance Auto Spa. The only other authorized installer in Columbus is Toy Barn and they have yet to get back to me on the quote.

I have the same Owner's Manual link. I don't think they've updated it in a while. The whole APH2 / APH3 thing doesn't make a lot of sense. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to which cars are getting 2 vs 3 (and for a lot of people it changes once the car is in production).

Tesla has claimed that they want to hear about problems people are having with customer service: Contact information in this Reddit thread: Still waiting on parts.... again • r/teslamotors Look for the post by u/scottrobertson Jon McNiell, President of Global Sales & Service, popped into the...

You have definitely had terrible luck with your DS and the Costa Mesa location in general. I'd hold off on generalizing that to the company as a whole or deciding you shouldn't have made the purchase based on this experience. If you end up hating the car itself then that's another story. I...

I got a quote for Xpel installation (full front hood, full fenders, full bumper and mirror covering with prep and labor) for $1895. Does this seem reasonable? There seem to be only 2 authorized installers in the Columbus area according to the Xpel website so options are limited. I'd then get...

DS contacted me today and encouraged me to go ahead and start the financing application. He told me the car was looking like it would go into production next week and get to Ohio by the end of the month. Fingers crossed (and skeptical).

Speaking of a statement....looks like a statement from Tesla has been added to this article: $30,000 Off Price Of Tesla Model S P100D Or Model X P100D Showroom Cars This Month

A few thoughts: - I don't think there's a question that poor customer service is being demonstrated in your case. This started when they promised you that you would have your car by the end of August. There are any number of things that could delay production and delivery that the OA and DS...

Perhaps we can try to see if there's a pattern in which cars are getting the APH3 option code related to dates /configuration? My order: S 75D Confirmed 8/20 Midnight Silver Metallic White seats Standard wheels Sunroof Premium upgrades EAP FSD Production: Not yet Est delivery: Late sept-oct...
