Model S subsite and design studio being updated

They ended up not being bright enough to really work as fog lights?!

Actually, they're pretty good fog lights.

I know it's easier to assume "they removed the word fog because something was less good than they hoped", but an equivalently likely assumption is "fog lights are no brainer, cornering lights is a checkbox on the list of some buyers."

They could have called them "cornering fog lights", I suppose, if both are true.

 

[grisnjam]

Yes, the cornering lamps have been there since the beginning.

I had no idea we got cornering light. My Audi A3 (2006) had steerable headlights which were very cool and I was going to miss them on the Model S.

Much to my surprise, while driving the Model S at night around the neighborhood just for fun, I noticed that when I came to a stop and turned that lights would kick on in the direction of the turn. Very cool. I am glad they made that feature explicit on the web site.

 

[Doug_G]

True enough... I didn't know it had cornering lights until the drive home from delivery!

AFAIK, they're different. The fog lights, IIRC, are the little "J" shaped LED pipes, while the cornering lamps are beside that and come on (obviously) when you turn.

I hope this latest change is more like the LED reading lights and not final:

Site down for maintenance.

It's up here, though I haven't noticed anything (other than model s comes before roadster in the store menu now)

The Tesla Gear site looks redone a little bit.

Wow, they just did that. Wasn't like that when I looked this morning.

Someone said recently there was a "no compromise" claim on some Tesla/Model S page, but can't find anything. Am I missing it, is it gone, or wasn't it there in the first place?

Asking because recently some seem to get hung up on that claim, like earlier on the term "best car".

It's there. On the Model S subsite page.

I hadn't noticed the Roadster hitch option before. I'm getting that for my bike. I'll have them put it on during annual service, along with the sound reduction kit.

Blatantly, on the first (subsite) page. Thanks!

memory taken back from textile seats:

 

[VolkerP]

Meh. I think I will make hard copies of every Model S page when clicking that "finalize" button.
Q: why is seat memory gone?
A: Uh - don't remember.

Bonnie, you're not paying attention: http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/6721-Roadster-Upgrades-Page-on-Tesla-Website?p=260557&viewfull=1#post260557 was posted a month ago!

Wifi added back. The facts page says "wifi ready"

 

[Todd Burch]

Combine that with the app outage today, and I smell an update... Let 'er rip, Tesla....
