    My biggest improvement with road noise

    I"m not sure if this is a Model 3 area in the forum, I kinda got here by accident. Nonetheless, where do you get the specs for the front and rear alignment? I would need specs for a Model S, but suspect the source would be the same.

    Asking Price: $49,500 Mileage: 47,100 Carefully driven and maintained by Tesla Club enthusiast. I purchased my Tesla 2 years ago from a gentleman who has become a good friend, and am ONLY selling because I've found a Model D. This lovely car is loaded with options and extras including a...

    The Worst 3 weeks of my life

    Did you say somewhere in the post, the type of camera setup you are using?

    Navigation is a lying liar

    If you really want to know what's happening and what to expect with the wind, download Windfinder - wind, wave & weather reports, forecasts & statistics worldwide and save it as a favorite on your MS's browser. I learned of this app last year at Tesla Connect and we used it to our advantage...

    Expensive license plates in Minnesota

    Yikes, I just got my license tab notice from the State of MN. They have valued my 2013, SN4531 car -- an oldie -- at $88,000 with a bill of $720.00 for the tabs. I paid $66,000 a year ago, being the very first used Tesla to be registered in MN. It was not in the state database as a make or...

    Web Browser

    I upgraded to lte or 4G or whatever the upgrade is about 2 months ago. A lot of the time I have more bars, but I'm not really certain the upgraded increased browser speed/loads. I"m not sure it's worth the $500.00

    I work from home with zero commute, am I allowed to buy a Model S?

    thgchris: Your idea of buying a used, moderate mileage car is a very good idea. I did this with a FordGT a few years ago -- it had been driven 12,000 miles by the time I purchased it, which was rather high for a FordGT in those days. However I knew lots of owners tend to drive the GT a lot...

    Auto Deploying Side Mirrors in V 7.0

    Firewired: I assume you have a 2013 per your TMC Join Date. I have a 2013 SN# 04531 is your car older than mine? I have always assumed I didn't get folding mirrors. I bought the car used from a friend -- 1st used MS in Minnesota.

    Do we have heated mirrors?

    I have an early car, SN 04531 and I"ll check -- plenty of opportunity here in Minnesota. I see that there is be a band about 1/4 inch wide around the outside edge of both side view mirrors, slightly different color than that of the center of the mirrors. Is this for the mirror heating system...

    Do I need 400 amp service?

    We charge our Tesla - single charger car - and Volt at the same time. WE have a 200 amp main panel in the house and only a 60amp sub panel in our detached garage -- had to string a separate overhead line with new mast on the garage. We seem to have NO problem simultaneously charging the Tesla...

    Dangly weight tied to steering wheel to fool autopilot that you're paying attention?

    That's the funniest thing I've read in a very long time.

    Firmware 7.0 - For Classic Model S

    Should early 2013 Model S do the 7.0 Upgrade? My SN, 04531, being a very early car has no sensors at all. Is there any point in doing the upgrade? I keep reading about all the features that are lost on the dashboard. Do we lose anything by not updating the OS?

    P90D Ludicrous 0-100 mph x 3 runs

    If coefficient of drag is a major consideration, then shouldn't your time at 6,000 ft be better than what one could achieve at sea level?

    Transferring car to new owner

    I bought the first used Tesla in Minnesota -- the State had never heard of the car when I tried to pay the sales tax. The transfer process was extremely simple and fast. I called the prior owner's service center in California and they expedited it for me, but I think the SC here in...

    Tesla finally meets it match in Australia, or does it?

    You are so right about them using a race car incorrectly as a dragster. Probably not the best use of that car. I don't think I want to see a 5000 pound Tesla in a four wheel drift on a gymkhana or autocross track any time soon. Nor do I want to see the remains of the set of tires. I'm...
