    Uber driving my P90D

    I love that you are doing Uber for fun, you are spreading the Tesla Gospel. Deadmau5 takes people around as an Uber driver in his Mclaren in Canada when he is bored.

    How often do you Max Battery?

    My car will not engage Launch Mode unless max Battery is turned on. I use it about once or twice a week when I feel like being extra punchy. I definitely notice more power especially at passing speeds when I have a fully warmed battery. I used it all afternoon yesterday when I demo'd the car to...

    Model S owners who have blacked out chrome trim/handles/etc

    Do it. You won't regret it. Plus it's vinyl so you can undo easily.

    Model S owners who have blacked out chrome trim/handles/etc

    Getting a bath tomorrow, but here you go. I did it about a year ago. Everything is black gloss except the P and the D. The ludicrous line is black too. Love it. You can't tell but the plate frame is a blacked out SpaceX frame. IMO Tesla's have too much chrome and blacking them out makes them...

    First drive for spouse...any tips, guys?

    Everyone who drives my Tesla loves it and loves it quick. But the women that have fall in love almost even quicker and it is always the smooth ride. I think they really notice and appreciate the smooth ride and lack of shifting. It is always the first thing I hear. Also I think that the...

    Thoughts of painting the bottom to match body color.

    When I see an X in real life I personally do not like the black plastic I think it looks cheap like a Mazda or an Audi Allroad. A Cayenne GTS is painted where the others are not and IMO it looks so so much better. The funny thing is besides black I mind it the least on the white, maybe cause the...

    Saw 3 model S refreshed colors in Nashville dealership...

    I love the new front. Love it. Hate that license plate holder though, I wouldn't even leave delivery with that thing on. Ruins it.

    Driving to Vegas from LA for 1st time-- a couple questions

    I have made it from Barstow to Primm several times avg. 85mph+ you will have to charge longer in Primm, but it is doable. My wife would rather sit at a charger rather than let cars pass her, so that is what we do. We have family in Vegas and go all the time and truth be told 95% of the time we...

    Driving to Vegas from LA for 1st time-- a couple questions

    I would charge 100% the night before at your house. No reason not to IMO. Why not stack the deck higher before you go. I usually do, didn't in my example cause that morning had to run to a kids bball game.

    Driving to Vegas from LA for 1st time-- a couple questions

    Yeah set the trip in your GPS and it will tell you when you have enough range to make it to the next charger or destination. On my recent trip I left OC with 207 miles, stopped and charged in Barstow for about 35 mins and then again in Primm for 15. Driving the whole way with range mode off and...

    Final P85D vs P90D Decision

    I was going to get an RS7 before test driving the Tesla. Once the P85D came out I figured I would just do it to cross it off the list. I reserved the Tesla 5 mins after the Test drive and have never looked back. I agree with above though if Ludicrous doesn't speak to you get an 85D brand new. If...
