I really don't think that the car lowered itself onto the wheel stop through some automatic process. I think that the air suspension loses a little pressure without the compressor running which puts an already close underbody fascia even closer to danger. Furthermore, although I can't prove...

2014 P85D. Bought it new, and immediately had it coated with ceramic sealer. $2000+. Professional window tinting. Only hand wash it with deionized water. (Building a case for how well I take care of this car) Imagine my disappointment when parked at an airport, I slowly crept back from my...

I got our P85D and HPWC last December. Just built a new house and told the electrician to put a dedicated 100A breaker, and #2 copper to feed the beast. Its been working flawlessly, although at 80A (actually 79A as noted on this forum) the cord will get pretty warm. Since my car has dual...

Here's my post from December, 2014. I'm refraining from saying "I told you so..." http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/36857-Autopilot-Questions-Experiences-Problems-Concerns?p=839387#post839387

SHOCKD

Yup. 5-6 would be great.

Already on order for my D in Florida. SHOKD

This is an excellent observation, and one that I've already encountered as well. As you know, the system will go to HOLD after a few seconds requiring a light push on the pedal to re-engage. The only time the ACC will engage and accelerate after a complete stop (without driver intervention) is...

Thanks Random, Thats exactly the kind of empirical data I was hoping for. I'll leave it in Insane in case a CTS-V gets frisky at a light.

So far, no real answers to my initial post,..just more questions. Only my wife and I drive the car, and my view is that acceleration safety is a matter of pedal pressure. In fact, I would never use a setting that simply limits available power to save ourselves from...ahem...ourselves. If we...

Sorry folks...I'm sure that this has been broached on another thread, but I've looked... honest. Anyway, does anyone know what the Insane mode does? (Other than flattening our faces) I know it enables 0-60 in 3.2, but why shouldn't I just leave it there? If I don't need the hole shot, I just...

We know there are guys spending time at Superchargers. We know there are differences between rated and actual mileage. We know Tesla might have over promised on range (at least for now). At the risk of sounding elitist, I don't give a rip about this. My D driving will be around town, seeking...

Tampa has called me to confirm our delivery on the 27th. We're flying in to Tampa (not trading in a car), staying overnight in a hotel and Tesla is sending a "town car" to pick us up for the delivery. Although others have had their share of missed expectations, we confirmed our order on 12/5...

My DS is still holding firm on Dec 27. He knows we'll be flying in to TPA and Tesla rep will be picking us up. He's pretty sure we don't have the next gen seats.

With all this talk of Tesla liability for autopilot mishaps, (from a forum of enthusiasts no less) my biggest fear is that some idiot will fall asleep, or be involved in a heads down romp through America, and have the unattended autopilot drive through a mall at high speed. The vultures will be...
