    Firmware 8.1

    I am having the same issues. Works 5-6 times and then the signal icon doesn't activate the homelink doesn't work. If you reboot, it seems to re-set and be good for another 5-6 times. I don't know if connected, but often notice that it doesn't work after I press the "not now" button on the...

    Making the 19in to 21in swap. Help please

    Just a suggestion, but you might want to look at the 20s. On my first car, I had the 21s and got a lot of curb rash. Switched to 20s for the winter tires and it made a huge difference on damage and still looked great. I just got another MS recently and ordered with 19 all weather, which I...

    How often are the supercharging stations broken?

    Thanks, I'll try again this weekend and see what happens. It was about 10F degrees, so that might have contributed.

    How often are the supercharging stations broken?

    Just tried the Highland Park, IL supercharger for the first time while running an errand today. I plugged in to 1B next to someone who was already plugged into 1A. There was also someone at 2B, so I had to be next to someone either way. After plugging in, I noticed I was only getting 53-56A...

    Really cold tomorrow

    Chicago Low Temps Hard to track windchill, but -14 temp reading on the dash. Anyone get a lower reading?

    Brake dust

    Agree with GD. I have 21s and there is noticeably less brake dust than in my prior cars. I chalked it up to the regen and am pretty light on the brake pedal. I would have thought most would have similar findings.

    Panoramic roof creaking noise.

    Update: A little over 3 weeks and no pano creak. In Chicago, so I stopped using the pano roof a couple weeks ago regularly, but have opened and closed a couple times just to make sure everything is working. So far so good.

    Winter tire recommendations

    I like the look. Good choice. Why did you choose an all-season versus a more snow-specific? I like the 20s, but concerned that by staying a bit on the larger side with the wheels, I need to go safer on the tire. Also, what TPMS did you buy on tirerack?

    Panoramic roof creaking noise.

    An update one week after the latest pano fix. Seems pretty quiet. Hopefully this one holds.

    Panoramic roof creaking noise.

    This seems to make sense since I can re-create the sound by pushing on the glass and crossbar. I'll bring it up and see if that works, but a good suggestion. Again, the SC is very accommodating in attempting to fix, but just getting frustrated on the back and forth on what seems like an easy...

    Panoramic roof creaking noise.

    Just got the car back from my third attempt at the pano roof creak and rattle. Two distinct noises for me. One is a long "creak" when you are going up parking ramps, etc that sounds like the roof is flexing. The second sound is a rattle that you hear on bumpy roads like something is loose...

    Arrrggghhh....two points of frustration...

    Kota, great selections. You will love the blue/grey.

    Would you have bought your Model S if it wasn't electric?

    Of course not. If you answer "yes", then you should have gotten a Jaguar XFR.

    My latest mod...a splash of color never hurt anyone.

    Very nice touch. I just ordered the multi-coat red wheel "T" stickers from this site for my Blue P85 for what is hopefully a similar (albeit much cheaper) pop of color.

    Damn Tesla...Damn......

    I have the P85 and can tell you from driving an S85 loaner that there is a noticeable difference between the two on initial acceleration. Easy to differentiate because it is all in the "gas" pedal. I have never driven a + but imagine that might be a bit more difficult to feel as straight...
