I wrote them about this months ago. Still waiting for a fix. How hard is this anyway? The original software kept the song sequence. So they had it right at the beginning.

Just read through this thread and I don't see a huge problem with USB folders in 8.0. Sorry if this has been noted and I missed it. The playlist order within folders is now gone. All songs within folders are now alphabetized. You can either play songs in alphabetical order or shuffle them...

To the OP: I have a 2013 silver Model S with a tan leather interior which I am in the process of trading in for a 2016 silver Model S with a black textile interior and black alcantara headliner. I have been exceptionally pleased with silver. Silver is elegant and an exceptional exterior color...

Thanks for the more specific instructions guys. Much appreciated.

This sounds great. But can someone please post the exact steps to be followed to enable a Model S to stream 320 kbs Slacker? Instructions like get credentials from Tesla, go to Slacker's site and set streaming to 320 are great if you know what you are doing. But for those of us who are...

FWIW: When asked last month which seats hold up better to wear and tear the detailer at our local SC confirmed that the textile seats hold up better.

Both cars running 6.2. I made absolutely sure Dolby was on/off as in my car. I checked both ways. And I checked with various EQ settings and fades I'm familiar with. My ears are relatively good in detecting audio nuances. There is an audible difference to me especially at higher volumes...

My car is 2 years old with the original $950 premium audio. I recently extensively drove a new loaner with premium audio while my car was being serviced. I transferred my FLAC USB thumb drive from my car to the loaner car and set the EQ and fade settings identical to my car as well as varying...

Here are a couple pictures taken two days ago in the bright sunlight. This color looks quite brown in bright sunlight. In the second picture you can see it compared to the new midnight silver metallic in the foreground and the original silver. If you are considering this color IMO you should...

I own a two year old silver Model S 60. After hearing about new 70D I went down to our local Tesla SC and had them work up how much they'd give me in a trade in. It was an excellent price. The only reason I did not do the trade in was because I could not get silver. Saw the titanium metallic...

I did not sit in a brand new production seat so cannot compare to that. My comparison is to my seat before the modification. It is much preferable to me but again it is a subtle difference. If my body weighed more perhaps I would have previously sunk a bit lower into the seat and not sought...

Our SC modified my driver's seat a couple weeks ago. They partially removed some springs. The difference is very subtle, one I believe many people may not notice. I feel as if I'm sitting not quite a centimeter lower and now more in the seat than previously on the seat. This modification has...

Ditto on the continued great SC experience. I had my driver seat cushion "softened"* a few weeks ago and the staff was exceptional in every way. I even got a free lesson on car detailing while I waited. *They remove a portion of the supporting springs which ever so slightly softens the seat...

Another five star rating for the folks at our SC. Took my car in 4/7 for the titanium under body retrofit which they did in a flash while I waited then washed my car including the wheels in a jiff. Luke took the time to show me 5.9 in their test drive car which he said would be rolling out to...

Data point: Just received my car insurance renewal for 6 months from State Farm in Hawaii. No problem here.

Thanks nanimac. Vicarious thrills. Someday I hope to make one of these.

Thanks for the link as well. Just ordered mine too.

Power folding mirrors Now available via a retrofit kit per email from Luke at SC today. Need to get on a waiting list. Cost roughly $1500 - $2500 depending on what kind of wiring harness is in your door already.

pbleic, parking sensors are conspicuous by their absence in your initial post. It seems most folks getting the tech package are opting for them. My car was built before they were available so cannot comment directly, however.

I have the upgraded sound system and have driven loaners several times without the sound system. Like Larry and Jerry, I very much like the upgraded sound system and consider it excellent. If money is an object, however, IMO it can be passed on. Note though, if you have a decent ear you will...

Have had my lights adjusted at least 4 times now by SC since getting my car 9 months ago. The official light-height-at-X-feet our SC uses results in frequent flashes. Needed to set it lower than spec not to get flashed so much. Lights now seem well positioned, not too low, not getting flashed...

Have you tried setting your car to Range mode? The AC gets stepped down and the fan noise has been reported to disappear on a number of cars. It did on mine. Never have it on Range mode. Car still gets plenty cool most of the time. When I need it cooler faster I turn off Range mode till it...

MassX1317 - This is an extremely expensive mistake if you get it wrong. It's not the price of just the pano. It's the price of the whole car and the useability of the rear seat for your needs. You personally need to sit in cars with and without pano to make a decision that is correct for you...

Prepaid service plan intervals relaxed For those of us in Hawaii who don't follow the regular forum often this may be an important post to check out: Reinventing service... - Page 4 Prepaid service visits are now once annually regardless of miles driven, no longer annually or 12,000 miles. A...

Big mahalo for taking the time to post the pics and explanation Steve. Tucking your excellent post away in case my pano creak ever returns.

Testimony submitted in time.

Having a bit of trouble visualizing it all but sounds great. Any pics you could post for those do it yourself'ers who haven't yet had their SC get it perfectly right? (Mine has been fixed now since September but it's good to have the knowledge just in case.)

OP: I have them both on my car and feel the pano roof is a much more valuable option than the tech package. Were I on a strict budget I would forgo the tech package but scrimp like crazy to include the pano. You really want to personally sit in cars, both front and rear seats, with and...

I was told by my Service Center that Tesla's policy is that after the first free tire rotation that tire rotations at time of 12,000 mile service on prepaid service plans are free but interim tire rotations will cost $75. Anyone else hearing something different?

Yet another data point: Sunroof seems backwards to me too.

With lossless media I personally find the Dolby enhances the sound field, makes the music breathe more. I use it all the time with my FLAC files. It generally makes compressed media sound worse to my ear, however, for which I leave it off. The Dolby experience is sensitive to fade as well. I...

Welcome Wolfie! I concur that most any electrician should be able to install a NEMA 14-50 outlet. I used a regular electrician who had no difficulty at all. Just make sure he orients it so the cord of your UMC hangs down when plugged in.

Fabulous looking car! I'm naturally biased because I too have silver. But the way the light shines on it in this shot is really nice.

I'd love to meet everyone too. Unfortunately the scheduling of club rides is a tough one for me. I work (even holidays) unusual hours and live on the other side of the island from most folks which makes things difficult to jive. I'm hoping it works out one of these times though. It would...

I have the air suspension but had I to do it over again I would go for the coil suspension. I've driven the coil suspension on loaners. It depends most on your usage--whether you need to raise the car for snow or driveways, etc.--not on the feel of the different suspensions.

Absolutely agree. The bass now no longer needs to be turned up as much and both mid and treble can be set to 0. Also, with and without Dolby the volume levels and EQ levels are more commensurate though Dolby still has less volume at the same setting.

Aloha all. Way to early for me. Have a great time!

Same thing happened to my car a couple weeks ago and I fixed it in a similar way to SarahsDad above.

Data point: My FLAC also plays fine on 5.8.

My car has the upgraded sound system and I have driven a loaner on multiple occasions with the standard system. I've spent a considerable amount of time listening to the same source material (USB FLAC) on the standard system in the loaner as I do in my car. I concur with the comments above...

I also get flashed frequently. Our SC has adjusted my lights 3 times now. The first time they overshot too low, next too high, finally not quite so high. But I'm still getting flashed. When I go in for my 12,000 mile service I'll ask them to lower them a tad more. It seems that when...

I had a difficult time justifying the cost of some options but not the car itself. I consider the Tech Package a ripoff but still feel it would be very difficult to buy such an expensive car without its features. I do not regret buying the car for a moment despite it costing twice what I...

Congrats Jkam! Inspirational!

No concerns about fires whatsoever. It takes a titanic, direct, pointed impact to the undercarriage battery to cause any problem. And you'll still have time to exit the car safely before any fire. This car is safer than anything out there.

Data point: still waiting.

This exact same thing happened to me after they did a TSB repair on my never-before-creaking pano roof while in for another matter. It took them two more visits to fix it but they did. Take your car back and insist the creak be fixed. They will do so even if it takes more than one visit...

I had my car in 3 times for pano roof fixes. The last time they seemed to have fixed it. The first couple times they followed the standard service bulletins but that did not solve the creak. This last trip they further isolated every possible rubbing point with adhesive backed foam which is...

Akikiki, I'm so sorry! But very glad they did such a fabulous fix. BTW did any of the parts that they ding repaired have paint armor on them? I'm curious if it's possible to fix a paint armored ding with those suction devices they use.

I concur that FLAC lossless gives the best quality sound on Model S. It is definitely possible for anyone with a moderately good ear to tell the difference between a lossless source and a lossy source like Slacker in an A - B test.
