    +1 I live in Australia and use the pre-cooling feature all the time!

    7.0 in Australia

    I've noticed the exact same thing. Happens all the time for me too, so I've stopped driving in the right-hand lane unless there is a line marking on the right-hand side. I don't see why it can't stick to the one line it can see in these situations.

    Your average household consumption in KWh.

    Not sure how useful this information is because it depends on how much you drive your Model S. We avg 25kwh per day of consumption including charging the Model S but I only drive it around 300-400km per week. Most of that is used by the house (2 adults/4 kids). On a nice day in Melb our 10kw...

    Hi - I'm new. Am I nut for considering a Model S??

    You'll start planning road trips just to spend more time in the car! Don't hesitate just do it! No regrets

    I spoke to Dan from Dan's Garage Detailing today and he can't fit my car in for Opticoat until December! But from what everyone says he's the best in Melb so I guess worth the wait.

    James was great with me too. I'm pretty sure he's the only DS for Vic/Tas/SA

    I always use the steering wheels controls for the sunroof. Much easier than touchscreen especially when moving.

    That's awesome ZTrekus you're going to absolutely love it. The only problem I've experienced so far is that I now can't stand driving an ICE car! Fortunately I'll only have to borrow my wife's car when I need to tow something.

    Brewster, next time you're up in Melbourne let me know. I'll be happy for you to take my car for a spin to help relieve the pain of waiting...

    Its absolutely amazing to drive even in the rain. The car is so planted and stable on the road and the AWD makes it grip like nothing else. I've owned plenty of powerful AWD cars like Subaru STI and 911 Turbo but none of them felt like this. I haven't heard my tyres break traction once yet...

    Her reaction pretty much sums it up! I had quite a few similar reactions today including my wife's 88 year old grandmother...

    I'm really happy with the look of the grey turbines. I've got to install the wheel protection strips this weekend because I really don't want to get a scratch on them!
