I had the same question a while back: Nav System: Artifact

That's a good point, but a lot of attendees will want to drive to the event. I heard the drive after the event was a lot of fun. That being said, the best location would be anywhere along the west coast supercharger corridor.

I'm sure the Bay Area and LA have the highest concentration of Model S drivers, so there's no point moving the venue outside of California only to make more people travel.

What year is your SL550? If it's naturally aspirated, you'll be fine and satisfied with an S85. If it's the bi-turbo, you're going to want the P85.

Ugh, my commute to work is 80 miles round trip and it's ALL freeway. I really do feel the difference with the low setting at highway speeds (after having driven a loaner car with non-air suspension). I already have a recipe for charging every 3 days at a public garage at work and I do not want...

You probably won't see it until you track your car. See: http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/17581-Model-S-on-the-Track-A-Review

Another thing I'm noticing regarding the map. The font is smaller even with 2x text size. 1x is pretty much unreadable. The traffic lines (red, yellow, green) are a lot smaller too.

Seriously. The best is the police blotter section of the local newspaper.

I've had the footwell cover since day 1. I took my car to service recently and got a loaner with rear child seats (P15xxx). The footwell cover did not have the leather/plastic handle at the top like mine. It's just a cover, so I had to squeeze my fingers under the cover to open it.

I actually look my car in to service today. I had to leave early from work because they said they were closing early at 5:30pm. It was a private event for execs. Not sure what execs, but I hung around until 6pm to talk to my friends that work at Tesla who helped host the event. When I left they...

I have paint armor, so I didn't hesitate to put the HOV stickers on the car. My stepdad who also has a Model S but without paint armor went to a local tint shop to get some small sheets of paint armor. I think he plans to cut it out in the shape of the HOV sticker and stick the HOV sticker on...

Yes, leave it plugged in. I recently went on a 2 week vacation and left my car plugged in at 5amps. Occasionally I checked my Tesla app and noticed that the car would start charging once the battery level goes down a certain amount.

Use a mirror ;)

Okay, this may not be a bug, but it's certainly not expected. I was tripped up when the left part of the dash with the perspective view, which I thought pointed in the direction of the vehicle, reversed.

I went reverse for literally 2 feet and the navigation immediately re-routed me. Try it out!
