168000 on my 2012 S85 Signature. Tesloop will beat us all , but good to see other daily drivers getting up there. My only repair not covered was a replaced charge port and a new UMC cable... alleles was just tires - 2 every 15000 miles... still comes out to less than 7.5 cents per mile for...

I was surprised by this too and read Jalopnik's intense criticism, but the current design also looks like it could be easily modified to make good on Tesla's hints that there will be a convertible Model 3 in future years so a trunk and drop top, maybe even a hardtop could work in this current...

While I respect that not everyone is going to like certain aspects of any particular vehicle, seeing it in person, at the Reveal, I thought it looked really good, kind of like a retro-future 1960s LeMans Ferarri front end. For those of you unfortunate enough to live in a state that requires...

It was tight security. So nice to meet you in person Bonnie.

Congrats guys! Awesome that you used Autopilot almost the entire way. Great testament to the new features.

I bought it and it works, especially if your curb rash is darker, it lightens it up. Don't expect it to fill deeper gashes. The color matches once fully dry... It looks twice as good as before, but not perfect on mine.

Congratulations! I know a bit about the "camel effect" but a whole day is awesome. I look forward to hearing more as you report some of the details. I always thought that the right conditions would allow 500 to be done. Glad to see it done!

Congrats Bjorn! It was picked up by Autoblog too so might be good for a cross post to News (at moderators discretion). There's a new Tesla Model S long-distance record: 452.8 miles

Yes, sad to watch up close. The kids were a little freaked out seeing it so close and something obviously going wrong. Lots of local friends from NASA and SpaceX feeling pretty somber.

David Metcalf 9/20/2014 Next week will mark 2 years of owning my Tesla Model S. I also passed the 50,000 mile mark two weeks ago. I thought I would share a few impressions from the thrill of initial ownership, to being the first to complete Elon Musk's 400 Mile Challenge/Production Vehicle...

I'm hitting 25k/yr+for the 2 years I've had mine. In other threads I had seen many people with 40k+/yr and I'd love to see some higher categories in the survey if you'd be willing to modify it. Thanks for considering.

Since we don't stop for gasoline anymore, many of us may not realize that, the last time I was in NJ I was not allowed to pump my own gas and had to wait 3x as long to "protect me". They have a strong service station attendant union that protects jobs. This is an example of the mindset that...

Rinspeed imagines the Tesla Model S as a self-driving 'living room on wheels' Check out Rinspeed's futurist design. Might seem funny, but with AC, WiFi and plenty of room, I find myself using my Model S as a living room and office more often than I ever thought.

Has anyone printed Tshirts or polo shirts with the nice new logo? If so, I'd be interested in one for demo events and meetings. Thanks.

Good tip. I stumbled on this over the Summer inFL, but did not know how to recreate it...
