Lease approved 6/9
confirm lease rate 6/10
Delivery Specialist reach out to I introduced the self 6/10�
Jun 11, 2015
Max* 1 more day!�
Jun 11, 2015
smilepak Really there is an 8+ weeks wait now?�
Jun 11, 2015
travwill Just seems to depend on how everything works out - I'd say yes if your production doesn't start too fast (prioritization on some models), then if production goes a bit long or is late completing, then again if you sit in the lot a while waiting to ship, again on shipping if train is not direct, stops, etc, then again on final destination if have to sit in local lot before getting over to a SC.�
Jun 11, 2015
Buzzz Got my 70D today. I really like the new blue, delivery was the first time I saw it in person.
And one with my wife new SUV. Maybe next time it will be a Model X.
�
Jun 11, 2015
ACDCAC congrats! @ Buzzz. Love the color!�
Jun 11, 2015
smilepak Love that color. I order the exact same!�
Jun 12, 2015
chriSharek Gorgeous. Great color!�
Jun 12, 2015
Lex Even though I crane my neck every time I drive by the Tesla store, my eyes have still not seen ocean / deep blue metallic in person yetMy Ocean Blue Model S is still approx 2 weeks away :crying: so I don't know if I'll be able to keep my own eyes virgin till we meet hehe but congrats to you Buzzz hope the 70D is all you expected and more.
I really like how blue this is from the pics which we all know don't really work with Model S in general and even less with this colour. Some things that are made to move aren't easily photographed
Happy that Tesla tries not to create a "class system" inside the model eg. with some colours only being available on the 85D or P. It's already enough I had to pay for paint -- I didn't even consider black because I feared that the "free" paint could impact resale value more than the cost of the "deluxe" paint.
And, the Ocean Blue just looked damn good on this car, at least in the pictures :love:�
Jun 12, 2015
Max* Picked it up today! Woohoo! Will post pics later. Car has LTE! my DS said that the cars he's been delivering as of the last few weeks have had LTE.�
Jun 12, 2015
kuttakamina Awesome man!! I can't wait to see pictures.
- - - Updated - - -
Well there is already a class system. There is the blue color and then there's everything else�
Jun 12, 2015
jswanner I just picked up my car a couple hours ago. Been great so far.
No LTE though�
Jun 12, 2015
travwill Congrats as well! Lots of blue orders lately it seems so I think we are going to see a lot more blue on the road.�
Jun 12, 2015
pmoa Congrats you guys!�
Jun 12, 2015
JeffreyD Yes, my DS called me on 06/10 as well. Even though confirm date is 06/14, said there was a chance I could have delivery before the 4th of July! Seems an impossible time frame but I will keep my hopes up.

Hi neighbor. Yes, Gold Line coming soon. The electrician I am using for the home charging hook up is from Glendora and, yes, he drives a Tesla.............................�
Jun 13, 2015
Max* Looks like I'm installing a 14-50 soon....
Found out the 110V outlet outside that I'm using to charge the car is also on the same line as the microwave... wtf? The microwave is supposed to have it's own circuit breaker.�
Jun 13, 2015
kuttakamina Dude! Pictures!�
Jun 13, 2015
Max* Here you go, no that's not a real bowtie
- - - Updated - - -
Here's the LTE proof
�
Jun 13, 2015
spottyq You can edit your signature now Max* ! ;-)
Enjoy your shiny new car !�
Jun 13, 2015
kuttakamina Oh so beautiful!!!!!!!!!
mine entered production today.
there is no color I dislike on Tesla, but the new blue is definitely the nicest.�
Jun 13, 2015
Max* Thanks
I saw the new blue and the regular red side-by-side. I'm SOOO glad I got the new blue.�
Jun 13, 2015
kuttakamina Blue vs. Red - both are equally dashing, but red is almost too bright (well its red, and not just red but cayenne red).
Blue is stand out, dashing, yet serene. It'll look even sexier in snow.
BY THE WAY, here is blue with black (what I ordered).

OH GOD I CANNOT WAIT ANY LONGER! UGH!!!!�
Jun 13, 2015
Max* Black on black interior? That was my backup choice.
The wait was killer... I agree�
Jun 13, 2015
pmoa Haha! I re programmed it from outside the garage and it works great now. The gps radius is very precise. I now get the menu to show up as I roll down the street instead of at the end of the drive way.�
Jun 13, 2015
cportcity Hopefully I pick my 70d up on Tuesday, I stopped by the Orlando location yesterday and was playing with the range calculators and noticed that the 70d shows more city range under certain conditions compared to the other 2 options, can this be right???�
Jun 13, 2015
travwill Yeah, totally possible and accurate it seems. It is the most efficient of all models at this point, even more so than the 60 it seems. At lower more common city speeds you can achieve the best mileage mainly due to the lower weight of less batteries. 15Kw of batteries weight quite a bit, the smaller motors weigh less (than P85), and the 70D performs well but draws less power at starts (it is limited) by software. Pretty interesting comparisons!�
Jun 13, 2015
kuttakamina +1 to what travwill said. Also real world kWh reports from 70d owners seems to confirm it. Even on freeways if you are a 55mph sort of a person, 70d is probably going to be the same range as 85d. A lot of people don't realize this, but when you are doing 55mph, you never have to brake�
Jun 15, 2015
JeffreyD Just got my VIN, 94048 and my 70D now in production queue for July delivery. Ordered 06/07 and Confirmed 06/14.�
Jun 15, 2015
smilepak Cool! I ordered the Same Date and it auto confirmed 06/14. Interesting though at the Sales Office, they say you can confirm earlier by pressing on the "Confirm" button. So I ordered online on 06/07 and press the "Confirm" button on 06/09. It really didn't confirm other than the button went away. I guess I had to wait for that 7 days autoconfirm like everyone else.
My VIN, i think this is it 94090
I guess I have to wait for license plate in order to register for the HOV lane?�
Jun 15, 2015
travwill Another quick question - for you guys that just are taking delivery also, that also got the premium interior & lighting package - say built last week of May forward -
1. Do you have leather on your dash lower section or alcantara? They switched to leather on the dash which I hope we are getting (unless you like alcantara there too).
Thanks!�
Jun 15, 2015
Max* Took delivery on Friday, I got alcantara, and that's what I was hoping for.�
Jun 16, 2015
travwill Took delivery today around 5PM of my new 70D. Will look to post more detailed feedback on the car in next day or so when I use it a little more, etc. But in short for now:
- it seems much nicer now that I've spent more time with it, definitely different!
- i'm a fit guy, 6', 195/200, and it is snug getting in and out, rubbing the next gen seat bolsters - may have to set an exit scheme to use sometimes. hope they add where it just does it if home/work automatically since that is a lot of time.
- i'm completely happy with the sound system (UHF). sounds great, playing slacker best quality, good managed bass delivery, high treble notes, etc.
- the autopilot was pretty awesome in the 5 miles home from service center on freeway with back to back traffic (Chicago). At setting of 1, it kept perfect distance from car in front of me, wasn't TOO jerky in starts/stops (could improve). i feel that it may make me look like a jerk sometimes where the car gets off in front of me and others are merging on - it picks up speed an closes the gap, ha, thus cutting off person getting on.
- have to get used to the buttons/cruise/stalks/steering but that will be 2nd nature in no time. very easy already i can see.
- I really DO like the solid white, non metallic. It is bright, extremely shiny, and a beautiful sporty color (is white a color?) for sure! i applied some aquapel to my front windshield today (love that stuff) and a coat of polymer backfire wet diamond (also awesome stuff and easy). looks even wetter/shinier (sp) now.
- Even the charge port is cool, just opens/closes automatically, and you can also touch the corner of it if you don't have a tesla product to charge with and still opens now.
- Oh, and I do have LTE - seems plenty fast in nav, audio, etc.
take care and hope everyone with theirs on order gets them delivered soon! was a great experience up to this point, although a hard wait!
-T�
Jun 17, 2015
Gregg_G Wow! That seems fast! I ordered a 70D on 5/7 and confirmed right away. VIN is 88667 and my car is still being built. How long did yours take to get to Chicago?�
Jun 17, 2015
travwill Mine for some odd reason got trucked to Chicago on a Friday and arrived on Monday AM. Crazy fast - but trains are the normal and take 1-2 weeks usually.�
Jun 17, 2015
Gregg_G Great to hear. I'll have to see if I can get mine on a truck. Did they give any reason why?�
Jun 17, 2015
Summitman7 Greg, did your 70D have next generation seats? My 70D has regular seats. Confirmed on May 28th and has been completed and is in transit.�
Jun 17, 2015
Kratus Is this a new feature?�
Jun 17, 2015
Gregg_G It does. I stopped by the SC today to get a quote on trading in my current car and spoke with the delivery guy. Looks like my car should make it here by the end of the month. The Tesla website really lags behind the current state of the car. Mine says it's still being built, but it's on the lot waiting to be loaded on a truck.�
Jun 17, 2015
DrumCoder They're trucking cars to certain states instead of using train in order to get them delivered before June 30th. This is mostly in states where the tax credit is expiring, but I didn't realize Illinois was on that list.�
Jun 17, 2015
drodriguez Hi guys. First post. Just wanted to share the details of my ordered 70D.
Order placed: 06/01
Confirmed: 06/08
VIN#: 93394
Current Status: In Production (updated today)
Estimated Delivery: Late July (as per website)
- Midnight Silver Metallic
- Pano roof
- Standard black seats
- Piano black decor
- Black Alcantara Headliner
- Premium Interior
- Rear facing Seats
Needless to say, the wait is killing me. I'm almost done reading the owner's manual for the second time.�
Jun 17, 2015
travwill The auto closing charge port is new for all D models. The touching the corner of it seems very new DS said, and is good for when you don't have a Tesla item to push a button on and need to open it quickly and easily, without the key method (holding trunk button). Plenty of options to open that charge port now & so glad it charges as no chance to forget it now.�
Jun 17, 2015
Kratus Great!
Thanks for the answer.�
Jun 18, 2015

Jun 18, 2015
Lex That is just silly. I am not going to pinch myself.
And for the club record, not stalker-y as I was talking to kushari at the time
And ... damn WOW they're packing 'em in at Toronto Lawrence Ave Tesla Store !!! TORONTO AREA GONNA GET THEIR SHARE OF NEW SUPERCHARGERS !!!!!!!�

sagaboy Hi Bonair I believe we have a $8500 credit.�
Jun 19, 2015
kushari Yeah it's 8,500$

I forgot that I took some Panos to show how many cars there were. Also they had a Nissan leaf that made me laugh.
�
Jun 19, 2015
bonaire "that's a lotta cars" - are they all new, some CPO? Any customer cars in the mix (repairs, etc.?)�
Jun 19, 2015
kushari Nope, Most if not all are new. They don't put the protective wrap on all cars, only some. I was there a few days back, and it' wasn't this packed. They have a huge backlog of customers getting delivery. Lex is one of them. I was lucky because I got in before all of the recent flood of orders. I was telling Lex on the phone, I feel its our duty to share this car with as many people as we can. I drove up to my co-workers place yesterday to show him the car.�
Jun 19, 2015
Kratus The end of the quarter is near.�
Jun 19, 2015
Lex And more arrived today while I was there ! Another 10 or so probably since yesterday.
They're trucking them in vs. train to get the sales recognized for the fiscal quarter. It looks like it's going to be a big one.
I'm even more anxious now that it is so close physically to me lol I have 5 more agonizing attempts at sleeps to go then like Kushari I become a traveling Tesla salesman :love:�

ACDCAC Just took delivery of my 70D.
I'm all smiles. Well worth the wait.
Special thanks to my DS Frank at the Marietta store for making my delivery on Father's Day.
This is definitely a Father's Day to remember.
* I'm sending from my phone. I will post some pics later.
Black on black with 21 inch Greys. Pano.
and LTE.�
Jun 21, 2015
Papafox Here's a little eye candy for those of you still waiting for you 70D deliveries. It's worth the wait!
Also, if you'd like to see a minute video of mountain driving in rockclimbing country, check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynbgGpQGabE . I had a Blackvue 650 fore and aft dashcam installed. The aft-facing camera cannot be seen from the rear-view mirror.�
Jun 21, 2015
pmoa Has anyone activated autopilot after purchase? I'm thinking about doing it.�
Jun 21, 2015
DougH You cannot "activate" autopilot yet.�
Jun 21, 2015
pmoa I mean purchase TACC capability for $3000�
Jun 21, 2015
smilepak Oh man I am restless. I got the exact same model and color, with pano roof�
Jun 21, 2015
ACDCAC 
- - - Updated - - -
I'm considering doing the same thing. I regret not having selected the option when I ordered the car.
My DS said all I need to do is schedule a service appointment to get it enabled, and pay the $3k. I may do so in the next couple of months.�
Jun 22, 2015
Papafox The activation of autopilot features should be pretty straightforward on your car since the hardware is already installed. It should be a simple software upgrade. Is it worth the price? I would say yes if you do a reasonable amount of highway driving. My 70D came with autopilot prepaid, so I have the adaptive cruise control features right now and Elon Musk has said the lane-keeping features should be out at the end of this month. During the first 4 driving days after my purchase, I covered over 2,000 miles and never felt the fatigue I typically feel with other cars on long trips. Part of the answer is the great handling of the car, part is the comfort of the 2nd gen seats, part is the low noise level, but a big part is the reduction in effort cause by adaptive cruise control and auto-dimming headlights. Even when traffic was relatively heavy I left the cruise control on and it made the driving experience so much easier than it would have been otherwise.�
Jun 22, 2015
pmoa My commute to work is 90% highway mileage. I think TACC is great but I think it's still a bit on the high side for 3K. I'm really intrigued with self park.�
Jun 22, 2015
BigThumper Thanks for posting the pics. The car looks great! I pick mine up on Wednesday morning. All Black as well....except I didn't get the 21" Greys. I made an appt. to get mine tinted immediately after pickup.�
Jun 22, 2015
ACDCAC All the best with your delivery.
I will probably get mine tinted in the next few weeks.
Getting the interior a few degrees cooler is critical especially this time of the year.�
Jun 22, 2015
drodriguez My delivery status changed from "In Production" back to "Order confirmed". Anybody experienced the same?�
Jun 22, 2015
pmoa They are using yours as the crash test sample. I kid. I kid.�
Jun 22, 2015
drodriguez What a privilege!!!�
Jun 22, 2015
grantgro That happened to me too...it will switch to in transit by tomorrow. That's what mine did�
Jun 22, 2015
drodriguez Great!!!�
Jun 22, 2015
Miltonian I just have to get through tonight and then the only thing separating me from my 70D is a signature
Spoke to my DOS today and he isn't very optimistic about LTE being enabled as he hasn't deployed any vehicles with it to date (toronto). It's alright though, I won't love my Tesla any less. Com'on clock, move!�
Jun 22, 2015
Lex What a ride Papafox
I can't wait to let the thing take over in traffic, this is one of the aspects of the car I'm looking forward to the most !
No doubt a light sleep tonight eh !!!
As for LTE... if my 70D doesn't have it, I am guessing that either they don't yet have an LTE plan arranged in Canada so it's falls back to 3G, or they decided to use-up the old 3G parts bin on foreign models, for whatever reason... sigh. Ah well I get to find out later this week, ugh off to try and sleep...�

Kratus How did you order this option? It doesn't show up in the design studio any more.�
Jun 23, 2015
Cyclone You order it like you do Accessories and it is installed at the Service Center. It asks for your VIN when order. You can provide your VIN or reservation number and arrange for installation at your Service Center before the car is delivered to you.�
Jun 23, 2015
Kratus Thanks.�
Jun 23, 2015

Where you are in Italy?
I'm living in Bologna
I have the car configuration like your and the same estimated delivery.
Maybe I'll see you in Milan the delivery day ?�

Lex My baby is home !
I never thought I'd see ever see fear in the Dodge's eyes, but I could swear...
The Model S, and my 70D is simply a wonderful piece of technology. I am so proud some nice humans actually went and did this after the bad humans spoiled it for so long. Looking forward to a world with adaptive cruise and this kind of punch. We can't get rid of all of them, but surely some major traffic issues would be solved if Toyotas were electric :cursing:�
Jun 26, 2015
Lex Now that I actually have mine I can't sleep because I want to drive again or research some quirks (haven't figured out cruise resume yet lol) lucky I have tomorrow off :love:
Mine shows 3G but doesn't seem like anyone in Canada has seen LTE, so ...�
Jun 26, 2015
S4WRXTTCS The adaptive cruise control is a bit confusing.
Here is what I've found
If the car stops itself it will automatically resume as long as it hasn't gone into hold. If its gone into hold simply pull the lever towards you, or hit the go pedal.
If you stop the car it won't resume from a stop by pulling the lever towards you. Other people have said it does, but it's never worked for me. I'm not sure why it would work since you have to be going 18mph to activate cruise control. It will resume cruise control if you hit the throttle and then reactivate cruise.
There are two ways I commonly reactivate cruise.
If I want to resume cruise at the same target speed as before I pull the lever towards me.
If I want to resume cruise at my current speed I push the lever down.
My favorite part of the adaptive cruise control is it allows me to take over with the throttle without disabling it. It won't suspend cruise control unless I hit the brake.�
Jun 26, 2015
Pepe Ciao ElMu
today my DS called me to inform they scheduled my delivery for the first week of August.
I would like to get in touch with you to share our Tesla impressions.
You can write me in a private mode.
�
Jun 26, 2015
S4WRXTTCS Here is a quick review of the 70D that I picked up a few weeks ago.
The Good
1.) A completely unique driving experience that you can�t do it justice by trying to explain it. It�s not just fast, but its teleportation fast.
2.) It handles great, and seems to have plenty of grip on tight corners. I have the coil suspension with 19 inch tires. I haven�t driven it in the rain yet though. It hasn�t really rained properly since before I brought it home.
3.) The Next Gen seats hug me nicely, and work great for my taste.
4.) TACC is a lot better than I imagined. It�s not something you�d trust with your life, but it�s also not gimmicky at all. It�s a transformative experience. There is a process to it of giving it a little more power, but knowing the limits of it.
5.) SuperCharging is a bit addicting I must say. It�s like backing into some space port with a space ship and then you get out and explore the local cuisine. Well okay I�m in the NW so the local cuisine is Starbucks.
6.) Commuting back and forth to work is way more pleasant with this car than my other car (a Jeep Wrangler unlimited). This was the primary reason I got this car. In the greater Seattle area we don�t really drive anymore. The roads are so packed full we just merge into a road system and merge out when we�ve gotten to our destination. There is no real driving unless you make it somewhere south of Olympia or north of Burlington. Using a gas car on our roads is a complete waste. All that sitting, and all that shifting. Sure I still have to spend tons of time sniffing someone else�s tail pipe, but thankfully no one has to sniff mine.
7.) Being able to communicate with my car when I�m not there is awesome. I can easily unlock the car and even start the car remotely if I need to. It also comes in really handy when the weather gets to 90F in the Seattle area.
8.) Having an Average Energy usage of 268Wh/Mi from Centralia to Portland and back. Its 186.4 miles where the majority of it is a 70mph speed limit. In Centralia I charged to 95% and then I drove to Portland at 70MPH with the AC on and with range mode on (it wasn�t that hot). Once I got to Portland traffic was terrible and trying to drive 2 miles to my Hotel from the Freeway took at least an hour. From Portland to Centralia I drove at 65mph, and had the AC off and range mode on. I occasionally ducked out of whatever truck I was following to get around. There are some hills that the trucks can�t maintain their speed going up. I didn�t drive close enough to get any benefits of drafting and I didn�t use any hypermiling techniques. The TACC was engaged the entire time. I made it to the Centralia Supercharger with 47 miles. I didn�t achieve my goal though of making it with over 20%. No instead I was in that weird not green but greeinish color battery display. It�s like they wanted to show Yellow, but couldn�t for some reason. All I know is the color was butt ugly.
9.) The Trip graph (under energy when you have a destination enter into the Nav) is pretty cool. I hope they update it for winds, but it appears to work beautifully for hills.
The Bad
1.) Rattles/Rubbing Sounds from Dash. Took it in to fix a major dash rattle (around the touchscreen), and it solved that one. But, there are still some other rattles. There is also a rubbing sound occasionally from the touch screen.
2.) Road noise is terrible. Tires need foam, and the car needs better sound insulation overall. I need to do some testing with a sound gauge or an iphone app to compare against other car. It�s quiet up to around 65mph, and on decent roads. It�s really loud at 80mph, or on bad roads.
3.) The left LCD screen is really bright at night when telling someone what lane they�re supposed to be in. This GUI doesn�t have a night mode. So at night I�ve turning down the brightness to 50% when I use the navigation feature.
4.) Body pieces and interior trim pieces have inconsistent gaps, and overall the quality isn�t high enough.
5.) Nothing to protect the gear bumper when loading things into the trunk. I went with xpel ultimate to protect this part of the car from my own stupidity. It�s great that it has this huge amount of space, but it would be nice to actually be able to put something into it without damaging the car while doing so.
6.) The Fan Speed is weak (regardless of range mode settings). 11 should be like a hurricane, but its less wind speed than my sneeze at a symphony.
The Lame (that could possibly be improved with firmware)
1.) Blindspot monitoring is inconsistent at best
2.) Lane departure gives out so many false readings that I turned it off
3.) The AC seems lame even with Range Mode off. From browsing around these forums it seems like it just misreads the temp and you have to put it lower than what you want. It does do the job, but geesh can�t they use a thermocouple to test their stuff? Maybe it�s a California thing to say 75 is 70.
The Ugly
1.) Trying to explain that the car didn�t come with Waze.
2.) Holding my tongue when my mom had issues with the Seat Belt. I took her from the Seattle area to Portland and back and the Seat Belt was trying to strangle her. Now I admit it�s an awful design, but my mom has a massive Jay Leno neck too. I need to get a seat belt extender or some soft material to go over it.
3.) Nearly getting rear ended south of Portland when the car was less than a week old. The person in front of me went to the shoulder, and the person behind me went to the shoulder. I jammed the brakes and I actually stopped short of where I wanted to, but I had no idea if the guy in front of me would actually make it all the way over.
4.) Pulling into the Supercharger at the Dalles (in Oregon) and seeing all the ICE cars taking up the supercharger spots. Thankfully two were open. I doubt Tesla has weight sensors under the parking spots to detect ice cars. The signage was terrible. It actually said 2 hour parking between 8am and 8pm. So that meant anyone parking after 8pm would just leave their car over night. It was around 11pm when I arrived.
5.) A car that I just picked up a few weeks ago has 2600 miles on it. WHAT??
6.) What�s with the obsession over everything going up to 11?�

Max* Good review S4WRXTTCS. My only comment about the supercharger is that Tesla didn't negotiate all of them for just supercarging. There was a thread somewhere about a supercharger with eight stalls, but the red robin only had to keep 2 of them open. The other 6 could be ICEd, and were first come first serve.�
Jun 28, 2015
Max* Sigh... Two weeks old, and one of the door handles no longer works. Guess who's getting a call first thing tomorrow morning?�
Jun 28, 2015
mkjayakumar Consumer Reports?�
Jun 28, 2015
Max* lol, no... **** happens, I know they'll fix it fast, but I'm kind of disappointed that it happened so fast.�
Jun 28, 2015
smilepak The door handles continue to be an issue for them they haven't exactly fixed yet.�
Jun 29, 2015
Max* Called them, had an appointment this week to check out my AC vibration issue, they rescheduled me, since I wanted to have my car for the long weekend.
Going to get the door handle fixed, AC checked out, scroll wheel examined (the volume doesn't always respond to me scrolling it), and hopefully the rear-bumper and hood re-aligned or something...
They said since they have no loaners at the moment, they'll get me an ICE and pay for gas.�
Jun 29, 2015
smilepak That's funny. For a company who wants to be green sure came short on loaners. I would think if they don't have any Tesla made loaners, they would give you another brand like Fiat 500e or Nissan Leaf or something electric, instead of going with ICE. Lol�

jmanning Hi Mark,

smilepak Just picked up Tess.
One word. amazing!
Coming from owning a Lexus GS 350 and driven Mercedes E350 and S430, the driving is more enjoyable in the MS. The acceleration is par none. Smooth, fast, instant. The regenerative braking is something getting used to as I haven't own or driven a hybrid or any cars with it yet.
interior design taken out of Apple's playbook. Simplicity. Good or bad, argument could go on forever for another day. The leather details with next gen seating and blend between leather and Alcantara is nicely done. I like the dashboard having it. It minimize sliding of things like toll road responder.
The lack of rear cup holders, the levers at the door overhead to assist entering is missing, no hangers, minimal leather due to the whole Alcantar approach, etc...
the odd placement of cup holders in the front was weirdly placed. It gets in the way of the arm rest. The huge center space was odd, for I am used to resting my hand on the knob shift.
The sound system lack bass. At max bass setting it was decent and usable, not horrible.
The 17" screen. Amazing. The dashboard that show navigation is nicely placed.
Panoroof of cool to have. It gives that nice class touches.
Getting it it tinted right now with ctx rear 15 and ctx 30 front.
More to come...having issue uploading pictures via iPhone using browser�
