I was just quoted >$9k to have my pano fixed. It sticks when opening and it has had this issue for years...long before my warranty was over. I was just told it was from body flexing due to 'racing'. I do drive just as hard on some of our public/ forest service roads & they have just as many...

OK I finally learned why I have found my car listening to music without me. Or why my car left the parking lights shining all night one evening. Rain. If you get out of the drivers seat and close the front door relatively quick, say a bit <1second, the car stays on. Well when it is dumping rain...

I know there are plenty of web designers and other capable techies here! It would be really nice to have a webpage dedicated to what good things/places there are around superchargers within walking distance. Maybe things that would take within an hour or so to do or eateries that are...

Here are 3 100% charges that I VT logged. There was one more charge done on 2/1 that wasn't logged You can see how the final time remaining can vary by quite a bit. Scale of each is the same and I lined up the time of completion of each charge .. heater was on in the first and second for a...

Does anyone own/know anything about mykita glasses? I tried on a pair in Cancun and they were really comfy and super lightweight + my wife said they looked awesome on me. Kindof expensive (7500 pesos in Cancun/~$360 on amazon) but handmade in Berlin I am wondering how durable they are if...

Our house power, and the rest of the neighborhood just dropped to 66V per phase. Is this a brownout?:scared: I could make a 120 if I needed to charge badly. What causes this type of grid failure? Natty gas gens up in Humboldt I think Led lights are cool. ..so it lasted almost an hour...

We stopped in Geyserville @ Clos Du Bois Winery to use the free Chargepoint station. Turns out they have > 1.1 MW Solar system :eek: and 4(?) free charge spots under a solar rack for shaded parking. We went in to taste some wine and charge for an hourish and as we were getting ready to pay...

:eek: well, the lawnmower wasn't working and I thought 5 year old gas(or more:confused:) may be bad. 2 gallons? isn't that about how much power a full charge holds? My lawnmower still sucks. Maybe I should get an electric. The gas station apparently is a full service style but the younger...

I just got 4.4 firmware this morning while I was at work. No noticeable differences to 4.3

What has changed? the blue colors are kind of nice with the white interior in the video this was from the 2011 vimeo 'building the future' (Tesla Model S - Building The Future on Vimeo) motor temp + battery temp included 16k - 18k rpm (probably not good for electronics/motor but it...

I was testing the app for android. and The friggin exterior door handles blow air out of them when you use the climate control!! This is insanely cool for people who have icing problems. What an amazing car! I'm blown away by the thought that went into some of the cool little things ..and the...

So. My official Tesla story starts around March 2010 when I was given the cost of a deposit of a Model S as a 'bonus' and put down a deposit knowing it was refundable! Growing up as a bay Area native (born and raised in Los Altos), I was pretty familiar with all of the stuff going on in the...

So. My Tesla story starts around March 2010 when I was given around the cost of a deposit of a Model S Growing up in Los Altos I was pretty familiar with all of the stuff going on around the area and liked the idea of electric cars. The Factory tour last October and Test ride was pretty sweet...

Has anyone done a range charge? I did yesterday and had 315 miles Ideal! I hadn't fully recharged my car since driving back from the factory. Once I did finish a regular charge I think. here was the first direction of my trip: I drove about 78 miles to Crescent city from Arcata when I...

- removed crappy link- 'Three weeks ago, he says, he told the powertrain team that he felt the acceleration from 70 mph to 90 mph was inadequate. When they protested that it couldn't be improved, Musk amped up the gentle persuasion: "Imagine," he told them, that "there was a gun to your head"...

I'd imagine owning a Roadster would be a great help in convincing the awesomeness of Tesla to unbelievers but I am not so fortunate:wink: So, I wear my Tesla Jacket just about everyday ( >99% of days since Factory event) or one of the hats. There are 2 types of people that I mainly speak...

Woot has some cool stuff from time to time (better before Amazon bought them) and the T shirt today has nothing to do W/ Tesla but that Is all I saw in the fictitious logo :biggrin: It's like I'm waiting for Christmas and I'm 5. It probably doesn't help that the coworkers that I see...

Does anyone know what the difference in drag will be between the S with and without The CF spoiler? And how does everyone considering the Performance(or not) like it? Has anyone seen any of the CF parts for the S in person

I finally had time to start working on my Model S this weekend. It drives pretty well even though I had to reduce the amount of rear suspension to get the extra 30mm length for the rc chassis to fit. Amazingly it fits and should only need little tweaks and some improved rear suspension I'm...
