Too small to be an S. Four doors for sure. Too little time to gawk, but we were passing right next to it. When we got past it struck me that the door handles were not chrome, but color matched.

This is my first post in a long time as I have not been following the news here, but I saw something yesterday that was interesting. I was traveling south on I-5 in NORCAL north of the I-5, 505 split when the car I was a passenger in rolled past a car carrier with one car on it. I was on my cell...

One more napa guy here. I don't post much but read this forum great deal. I wish I was a Tesla owner but that is not possible at this time. I have a client that drives a Model S in the Oakville area, another Brownie!

I have owned a couple of Muscle Cars (442's) and have driven other high performance cars and have owned some very high performance motorcycles. After the bikes, it's pretty hard to impress me with performance cars. I did drive the Model S, an S85. My impression of performance was how...

Thanks for the link. Will have to study that for a bit. I was hoping for something simple, but that might not be possible.

I would like to construct an Excel spreadsheet to compare the fuel cost of an ICE car and the energy cost of the Model S for a given trip. Inputs for the ICE would be fuel cost per gallon and expected MPG. For the MS would be energy used and the cost per kWh from the utility company. Of course...

I have the guide, would like the manual. I don't own one but want to read the actual manual. Thank you for your responses.

We're you able to download the Owners Manual for your new Model S? Not the paper copy, but a digital version?
