    NHTSA crash tests results/videos

    I wonder if the car could detect the front end impact and immediately throw the car in reverse!!!. The damn thing goes so fast from 0-3 seconds that even a second (or fraction of) in reverse potentially could decrease the impact! lol....if only all of us MS owners could be thrown in a room...

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2013

    STRONG DISAGREE HERE! They are making battery operated electric vehicles. The operative word here is BATTERY. Thats like saying BMW continually tuning their engines is them losing focus. Should they just have someone else supply their motors? Tesla provides superior range by using an...

    Model S Price Increase discussion

    couldn't agree more. this is my first EXPENSIVE car. (I did have a 335i before the MS but before that it was 2 civics and a toyota celica. The 335i was less than HALF of the MS and was a fantastic car!). there was an article a few weeks ago talking about how electric cars are such a...

    Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

    Lets just preface this story with...today is my birthday! So I go to my car to go to work and handles extend, I open my drivers side rear door, unplug my charger, roll it up and toss it on the floor of rear like I always do every morning. I noticed that the radio was NOT on (as it usually...

    New "feature" I found - you must exit from the driver's door or else...

    I reported this back in feb of this year and my post got ZERO love! I used this trick to leave my radio on while washing my car in the driveway. That was prior to me learning about popping it into neutral and then engaging the parking brake on the touchscreen.

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2013

    SUPERCHARGER ANNOUNCEMENT PRETTY AWESOME IMHO! No real big reaction from wall street (as i figured.....). but a good enough reaction that (I HOPE) the stock shouldn't go down below $100 today again.

    Proof of Tesla's plan for battery swapping

    Battery swapping may or may not be part of the future for BEV, but what I do not understand is how everyone keeps saying it will take X minutes to do a swap (I've heard people say anywhere from 3 mins to 10 mins). Im sorry...but that is completely unreasonable! (NOT impossible....but just...

    Told sudden permanent 15 mile loss of range is "normal"

    As a pediatrician working in urgent care I SECOND your sentiments as well!!!! Only time will tell people! And Elon Musk standing behind the batteries should be VERY REASSURING!

    Official: Model S Service Plans

    Im glad I purchased one! Ive posted on this thread before praising these tire/wheel insurance programs. It pays for itself multiple times over! (It did when I had the tire insurance on my BMW 335). If you bought it you must have a history of getting flats in which case...KEEP IT!!! It's a...

    Tesla head on collision with a Honda

    Tesla driver was/is Dr. Robert Pettis (ENT). Apparently a Mercedes Benz was also "involved" and caused him to swerve into oncoming traffic. Someone posted something about a coffee cup being thrown. Its all a bunch of conjecture at this point....but it's good to get it all out there...
