    Winter driving advice, winter tire choices, etc.

    Don’t know what part of the country you live in but perhaps with an AWD car you don’t need winter/snow tires? I have a RWD Model S so I pop on winter tires each year.

    Winter driving advice, winter tire choices, etc.

    While I have a RWD Tesla, I would agree that for an AWD in combo with the even weight distribution, you are good to go with “all season” tires!

    Winter driving advice, winter tire choices, etc.

    If you have a RWD car, I highly recommend getting winter tires. I drive a 2012 Model S RWD and after almost running out of charge years ago while driving in the snow (major slippage!!!) I have used winter tires (in the winter) ever since. Not sure about AWD. All these other winter driving...

    Why do BMW drivers who encounter Teslas almost always embarass themselves?

Not sure if he wanted to race (my wife and child were in the car so that was not going to happen). The...

    Wow! Temperature Really Does Matter!

    A more effective way to "preheat" the battery pack in cold weather is to charge the battery. If you normally use "Standard" charging mode, switch to "Max Range" first thing in the morning (at a decreased amperage is fine as well) for about 10-20 minutes and that should do the trick.

    Meeting other Model S owners on the road - do you wave?

    Finally saw another MS the other day; just beeped my horn and waved as I was passing him as I was getting off my exit.

    Active Air vs. Standard Suspension

    I have the active air suspension since 1.) my son's preschool has a short but ridiculously steep driveway so I use it daily and 2.) I wanted the car sooner (3 and 1/2 year wait was enough). I have been very happy with it. I can't compare it to standard suspension however. I would think that...

    Water condensation in tail light trim?

    Same problem from day 1 (though my delivery specialist pointed it out and said it would be fixed at some point). That was 3 months ago (though the lights still work fine as far as I know).
