I've just had a very nice experience with park assist. Was driving on the left lane of a 2 lanes one-way street looking for a parking spot. There was a good one.. drove past it, saw the "Auto Park" logo on the instrument cluster then engaged self-parking (parallel). Here's what happened...

Hey guys, First roadtrip in the model S starting Monday morning (June 27th) with my girlfriend Mimi :) We're planning a bit more than 4000kms (+2500miles) starting from home, North of Montreal. We'll be stopping in a few superchargers along the way (obviously...) if any of you want to meet...

Hey, Went to the local drag strip yesterday with a fellow forum member(Roadrunner13). I brought my 85D, he came with his P85D(he left his Roadster at home) I caught his best run of the night at 240FPS (11.640@115mph) Here it is : And these were the other runs of the day : Enjoy ;)

Earlier today, I noticed something odd : In the past month, the Tesla android app consumed more than 200mbyte of data on my cell phone... in the background! About 50% of it is on Wifi.. the rest in on LTE... Any clues what the app could be doing?!?

With the snow we had in the past couple of days, I decided to do a couple of acceleration runs on packed snow and film them using my Nexus 6P (240fps). Video is played at 24fps, so this is 10x slow motion. My car is a Tesla Model S 85D equipped with the base wheels and Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2...

Hi, I know most of us here like to track our energy usage (from our panels). I recently switched my old setup which was using an Efergy monitor (2 transmitters, 2 circuits monitored) to a full blown eGauge setup that monitors most of my circuits at home. I thought I should share my experience...

Hey! I saw a lot of threads here where owner of "classic" S talk about their experience when getting a AP equipped loaner car. Well, my car is in the shop right now getting its first annual and the loaner in a 30 000 VIN P85 w/o auto pilot on coils and 19in wheels (winter tires were put on...

I managed to snap a few pics with the stars last week - I was literally in the middle of nowhere (far far away from any J1772 stations!) so light pollution was a non-issue. Thought I'd share them here. Took this one with part of the milky way : And this one with the door unlocked (DRLs and...

2 Weeks ago, another forum member (Roadrunner2013) and I went to the dragstrip for a couple of 1/4 mile runs ;). He came with his Roadster (V2.0 I think) I installed the GoPro on his Roadster and used the footage from my dashcam from my S to make a small video. Here it is : Run #1 : 85D ...

Hey guys, Quick heads up for anyone who bought the just release Nexus 5X or 6P phones --> They both have the new USB-C (USB Type C) connector at the bottom. Well, I contacted Tesla about buying a USB-C cable to change my current (MicroUSB) cable in my front console and was told that they did...

Quick note to Québec drivers : Late last week, there was construction work on the Laurentian autoroute (HWY 15). They were replacing the HOV lanes signs with new ones in which the HOV logo (the car with the number of minimum passenger written inside it) is offset to the right instead of being...

... To put in my boat :) Lets just say that the guy at the gas station was a bit puzzled when I pulled by the pump! Btw, if anyone's ever stuck without a charge in the Laurentians (Quebec, Canada), I installed a 30A J1772 EVSE at my cottage house : | Nominingue, QC | Electric Car Charging...

Ok guys, I've got a quick question. For the first time since I got my Model S in March, I've not driven it for a few days (3 days). It's sitting in my driveway, connected to the HPWC. SOC Setting is set to 80%.. So here's the question : I've noticed that the car does not hold 80%... it seems...

Has anyone experienced something like that? It happens almost every morning. I get close to the car, the handles get out but no lights on the charge port. Hit the button then I get the white light and hear the pin unlocking... then I unplug it. It will then cycle to red.. then close and...

I've tried a few things but it seems I can't add an album to the favorites. I can add 1 song in an album to favorites... but what I want it for the next song in that album to play after this one is selected and it does not seem to work. It's me or we can't do it? Thanks

Since Day 1, I've had a problem with my door seal on the driver side. Where the seal goes over the trim piece on the A-Pillar, mine would go IN instead of OUT. IN fact, I noticed it the first 5min I was in the car when I took delivery. I simply run my finger behind it and thought "they had to...

I posted this elsewhere (85D new sport mode) but here it is again, just because ;) 2015 85D v2.4.153 (6.2 Sport mode) Michelin MXM4 OEM Tires @ 50PSI Ext Temp : 10C/50F First run : 62% SOC Last run : 54% SOC

Since I could not find anything specific to the regulations in Canada for EVSE equipment installation, I thought I should post this here. Two articles of the CEC (Canadian Electric code) might be of interest for Canadian residents. HPWC Installation : Article 86.304 Disconnecting means (1) A...

Hey guys, I did my first road trip this weekend with my Model S 85D and noticed something weird with the range. Car is on the OEM Winter Tires (Sottozero). Interior was set to 68F with range mode ON. Car has 1200miles on the odo. Speed was VERY stable. 55mph in 55mph zone(around 50% of the...

Got my car last Friday (March 20th). Awesome drive btw, I love it. Winter driving range is not too bad when you are very careful. Got 337Wh/mi at 14F outside temp (range mode, 64F inside temp, seat heater) driving at 60mph for around 15miles and city driving at 35mph for 7-8miles. So, I do...

Hey guys, I'll probably get my hands on my Model S by the end of the month. The thing is I need to drive to and back from my cottage house which is located 103miles from home in early march. Here's the deal : -206miles roundtrip -temp will be around 0-10 °F for the drive. Will drop to -5 °F...

Hey guys, I've been a lurker here for some time (around when I reserved a Model X in September 2013). I recently ordered a 85D - expecting (and hoping for) a Late February delivery. Order was confirmed yesterday (Oct 14th) Here's what I ordered : -Pearl white 85 D with base wheels -Glass roof...

Hey guys, I've been a lurker here for the past year (when I reserved a Model X). Last week, I bit the bullet and ordered a S85D. My original plan was to go for a black leather, carbon accents and regular headliner... But using the new design studio, I find the black alcantara headliner VERY...
