Started the 36.2.4 installation at 6:42PM CST, then almost immediately got 40.2 at 7:18. P3D, FSD

I tried to order the Alpin PA4s for my P3D+ yesterday, and TireRack called me back to say that they weren’t rated for the Model 3 load. They steered me to the Alpin 5s, but now I’m thinking about telling them to switch back. Has anyone had a similar experience?

2013 Model S 60, got the 8.1 2018.28.5 (377ec8b) this week. My speedo has been rebooting every 10-15 minutes and the browser isn't loading anything. Interesting that this happened right after I got the email that my P3D was ready...

Went with the anagram: Elsa T

I haven't reported this yet, but it has definitely been happening to me since the 6.2 (2.4.136) upgrade (along with the auto-mute and nav issues).

Thanks, ZBB

I'd like to fund this, but I'm a little confused that there doesn't seem to be early-bird pricing for Model S owners. If I'm reading the tiers correctly, everyone else can get a $40 discount by funding at the "Viking" level ($119) now instead of the "Aviator" level ($159). But Model S owners...

Like a few other posters in the thread, I've had significant Bluetooth issues, a lagging display, and reboot problems since the 5.9 update. I had *never* (in 7+ months of ownership) had to reboot the screens before 5.9, and now I've done it three times. Attempting to pair my phone now is an...

You should be fine - just let them know asap and make sure the service center (I assume that's where you're accepting delivery of the car) knows. BTW - I just installed my front license plate this morning: I used the j-bolt method and it seems to have worked well. Now I just have...

Impressive mileage, but what's scary is that you took this while going 72mph.

I have, but the Villa Park, IL SC couldn't fit me in for two weeks. I'll be bringing the car in on 10/4, and using the nav mainly for entertainment until then.

I might be too late, but bullet point #6 has a typo. Should be "Coast to coast Tesla Superchargers by the end of Winter 2013".

I picked up my S60 on 9/12 and it had 5.0 build 1.35.102. My maps/GPS are completely wonky - it is rarely accurate for more than 3-5 minutes at a time. After that it will start to randomly locate my car between 50' - 1 mile away from its actual location, and almost always heading in the wrong...

Finally picked up my long-awaited multi-coat red S60 this afternoon from the Tesla Service Center in Villa Park, IL. A few notes: 1. It has the 5.0 firmware. 2. The XM radio would only play in preview mode - they said it was a glitch in the new firmware and would have to push something out...

Forget key fobs, here's what I want: Forget Passwords: Nymi Knows You By Your Heartbeat | PCMag.com The Nymi wrist band authenticates to your unique cardiac rhythm and can include gesture and proximity controls. Check out the video, specifically 00:10-00:20! (Sorry if this has been posted...

Finalized July 31, 2013 Confirmed/Ordered August 1, 2013 In Production August 27, 2013 Production Complete September 6, 2013 Scheduled Delivery September 12, 2013 (48.75 hours from now, but who's counting.)

Nicely played. I'm sorry if I've read something wrong or if my math is off, but if you're 28 now that means you were buying an M5 at *16*?!? Very nice.

Are you applying those yourself or do you have a good professional shop in the Chicago area that applies them for you?

Heck, I don't like giving my current car to a valet - I highly doubt I'll be handing over the keys to my Model S.

Red! This photo just sealed the deal on my color choice. Red it is.

The rims were definitely silver. Although I could definitely be wrong, this one looked like it had just been picked up from the Oak Brook store.

Saw my first Model S in the wild this evening (other than the Get Amped Tour). If you are the owner of the black Model S with 21" wheels that was driving west on I-88 between Oak Brook and Naperville (most likely coming from the Oak Brook store?) this evening around 6:00PM, I apologize for...

Jebeesus. My "It's Time..." email (#3173) went to my junk mail folder on 8/14 and I didn't realize it until today (a week later!) when I scanned through this thread. It's terrible when life gets in the way of reading the TMC forums. Now, what to do...

Photos of Chicago Cars' VINs Sorry that these took so long to put up, but I went on vacation immediately following the Chicago Get Amped stop. Here are some images of the VIN plates on each of the four cars that were present in Oak Brook: Silver Model S - VIN 5YJSA1AN1CFR00112 Pacific Blue...

My session's from 11-12 tomorrow (Thursday). Looking forward to seeing TMC members there. It's unfortunate that Miami's getting the Green and Sunset Red cars (two of my top three color choices), but I'm looking forward to driving the car - whatever the color.

Maybe it's just the angle of the photograph, but that doesn't look good to me at all. There's a significant black border in the upper left (above the temperature) and none in the upper right (above the time display).

Tuscany would definitely work. It's our regular spot for Mother's Day and other family events (of which, a Model S test drive is certainly one).

I'd be up for that if I get a Thursday slot. Tuscany or Gibson's are across the street, or Club House, Antico Posto, Reel Club, Mon Ami Gabi or Wildfire are in the mall itself. Take your pick.

I'll be there on Thursday (7/26).

Wow. What kind of cars have you purchased in the past? I just traded in a seven-year-old Audi with leather that looked like new, and I really didn't take any special care of it. I've never had a problem with leather seats in cars, but have had plenty of issues with cloth (stains, wear...

And, wow, the brown looks much better than I thought it would.

I've thought this way for a while, but tonight's pictures confirmed it for me: the performance/dark wheels are ugly. I don't mean to offend anyone's opinion, but I *really* don't like the darker wheels.

Seems like we have a trend. I'm 45 also.

If you're in Nuremburg, I believe the event should start at 12:30AM Saturday morning for you.

Same issue here in CDT. The countdown code must only be calculating from a static 3:30PM without factoring in time zone differences.

+1 If you consider Sunday to be the last day of the week, we have approximately 51 hours left in this week. Plenty of time to send out a batch of emails...

There are several cars on my list that I'd consider if I don't move forward with the Model S, but the one that keeps bubbling to the top based on style, performance and at least some attempt at an alternative fuel source is the Infiniti M Hybrid.

Did anyone else catch Cadillac's announcement of their new driver interface / entertainment system - the Cadillac User Experience (or "CUE")? Although they're only using an 8" touchscreen, they're incorporating proximity sensing and haptic feedback along with voice and gesture controls. There...

I agree with you on your first point. And I'm really hoping you're right on the second one.

I'd have to add the Jaguar XF, which I've seen very few people mention. That's surprising, as I think it's almost a Model S clone (or vice versa): http://www.jaguarusa.com/models/xf/gallery/ I don't think the S7, at 24.5MPG, would be hit with a gas guzzler tax (which I believe uses 22.5 as...

Tesla puts a clear, protective shield on the cars in showrooms. I'm not sure of exactly which manufacturer's product they use, but it's most likely the 3M SuperShield, described here: Autosupershield

Here's a recent article/video on how Audi's developing an "e-sound" to accompany its forthcoming e-tron: e-sound Coming To An Audi e-tron Near You | Hybrid Cars

The Tesla stores are now showing video of the Model S winter driving test as part of their overall video loop. The car in the video had the 21" wheels with performance tires and still looked like it was handling things pretty well. Makes my move from quattro to the Model S a little less scary...

One of my favorite features when I had my 2001 Audi A6 4.2 (beyond the terrific engine, quattro, etc.) was the heated steering wheel. I haven't seen any official confirmation of a heated steering wheel on the Model S, but has anyone noticed that both the Betas and the Design Studio show a heated...

Latest word (last week) from my local Tesla store was that 4G would be available on the Model S at launch. They wouldn't divulge much else on the topic.

I think Trnsl8r is talking about the full passenger side interior view, not the overhead view. If so, it looks like he's correct: That view shows the pano roof even if you have selected a solid roof.

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but it seems as if the Model S will have "Min" and "Max" settings for regen. I was the recipient of a peek into the developer mode on the touchscreen yesterday and a toggle between those two settings was present.

Put the 17" screen into #7 in place of all the knobs and I'd consider it (assuming the two-tone is optional). I am generally not a fan of wood in vehicle interiors, and I lean toward a simpler aesthetic for dashboards. As I'm probably not getting a Performance version, CF is out, and I don't...

Of course, extended warranty cost depends on when you get it. Was the $6K right before the original warranty expired?
