Oh. Is the bracelet only included for LE owners?
That’s my understanding. The bracelet (nor the key fob, nor the spare tire) is available in the gear shop. So no way to get in a queue and wait for one.

Perhaps others have a magic hack for getting them.

I am leaning towards limestone. It’ll be my wife’s car and I guess I’ll let her decide. But limestone with the dark wheels looks so dang good.
In my biased opinion, you won’t be disappointed with limestone and darks :)

What color is your R1T?

what’s your take on the “autopilot” features? How are they working so far?

Anxiously awaiting my R1S, but I believe it won’t be here until Q1.
I haven’t tried autopilot yet, but will report back when I get some highway seat time. Hope you get your R1S soon!

Not sure how the valet will hang our key cards in the key safe :)
With binder clip, paper clip, leave it in bottom of the safe/cabinet. I've managed to get my car back time :whew:

I have been waiting all my life for “self driving”… that will be one of the “toys” I play with in the first 10 minutes.

Please keep us updated…

Drive safely!

P.S. What are people getting for home chargers?
My PHEV Wrangler will be here next month and of course, my R1S… Looking through tons of reviews…

I’m not sure I actually need a 2nd FOB. Industry standards made me assume it needed more than one. What do you give the valet when someone parks your vehicle?

Or maybe the question is do most of you use the FOB or leave it at home? Not sure I fully trust the phone/app access. Too many dead zones, especially when in the outback.
90% of the time I use my phone and it works great. I have the card on the back on my phone with a phone case over it. When the phone does not work, I simple place the back of my phone to the handle. Still wireless charges.

Launch green with BM interior and 20” darks. Love the wheels.

Nifty idea. I wonder if the sleeve obscures (intentional or happy accident) the signal. Can you post a pic or link? Thanks.

Thanks for the heads up on them forcibly adding the front license plate holder. I prefer the fix-a-ticket every few years than having to have the plate ruining the front end. I never installed the one on my Tesla and it’s never been an issue (4 years and counting, knock on wood) so I will take my chances on the R1S as well. But I hope I can catch them before they install it by drilling into the front bumper like that. If needed, double sided tape works just fine. No need to ruin the bumper like that.
Like a lot of things, it varies by state. When I got my Model S in MA in 2013, the service center was willing to not drill mount the front plate holder. They wouldn't do a removable install, but suggested a way using zip ties through the lower grille, and even gave me the zip ties to do it myself. A year later, after an accident and some front body work, they said they were not allowed to return the car to me without the front plate holder mounted permanently, and it's been the same with my more recent Tesla deliveries. I guess the MA RMV cracked down on them.
