I should start by saying that I have been a delighted and completely satisfied customer for 5 1/2 years with my Model S. My wife recently got a Model X which we both love. I have referred two other people (a friend at work and a family member) and between them they now drive 3 Teslas. And in...

I am replacing my OEM Michelin Primacies this weekend. I have decided to go with the Pilot Sport A/S 3s after reading all the helpful comments in this forum. I got something like 32K on the Primacies (I don't know exactly because I have winter tires on for some months of the year. When I...

Tesla said they could find nothing in the log. When I picked up my car yesterday after an unrelated TPMS maintenance issue, they said that even knowing that the problem was fixed somehow during the annual maintenance they still couldn't correlate it to anything. Maybe the firmware flash had...

Too much of a coincidence that after months and months of a problem the utility did maintenance the exact same day that I took my car in. - - - Updated - - - Correct - I do not have an HPWC. I do have 240V NEMA 14-50 outlet in my garage. I have a spare set of rims with my winter tires on...

I have had this issue for months. It occurs roughly 2-3 times per week. My car, which is scheduled to charge at midnight, would interrupt and so I would wake to find I had a continuous stream of notifications on my phone and a partially charged car. Like others posting here, unplugging and...

I like this option - there are times when I would like to just hit a button that says "No". Doesn't sound hard to add it to the Notification list in the app.

Sure. I leave my MS at the airport frequently when I travel. The only time I don't is when it gets really cold. That would be a problem here in Chicago and is not recommended by Tesla.

Two days ago, slacker just stopped working on my MS. I went into settings and reconnected the account - it made no difference. Tune-in radio is working fine. Anyone else had any problems?

This summer has been full of Tesla moments - from thumbs ups while driving to people asking me to roll down windows while they ask me questions. Yesterday I had two in a row. I arrived at my car after work with a colleague who I was giving a ride to a local hotel. When we arrived at the car...

I am also surprised by the glass half-full view of getting updates to your car. A constantly improving car and all the article can focus on is the negatives.

Whew! Fortunately I can point out that the one on the left is mine - oh and it is blue of course.

Took a road trip to Michigan for my daughter's wedding. I'll post a picture of the bridal Tesla, with ribbons and all (it looked sweet), when I get the pictures. In the mean time - two Illinois Teslas at the supercharger in St Josephs, Michigan on our way back.

A friend and I did a photo shoot of my MS recently. Here are some of his excellent pictures. - - - Updated - - - Here is another one - one of my favorites.

7 on a car carrier in Louisiana Driving down I-10 in Louisiana towards New Orleans I came across this car carrier with 7 new MS cars on board in assorted colors. This picture was taken as they were crossing the Mississippi River bridge in Baton Rouge. They may have been going to New Orleans or...

Curt this excellent - seen so many Downfall parodies, this is definitely one of the best. Not everyone has the same sense of humor, so some may not get it. Please do't worry if a few people take it the wrong way - that will always happen. It was very cleverly scripted - just had to laugh...
