Discount Tire has some business arrangement with Vredestein. Their tires don't show up on the selector but you can buy them by calling.

Another vote for Patsy. It's hilarious to see the Monty Python foot come down, then the car farts, then the theater icons show up.

Had it in for service today. They removed the camera and cleaned everything. Checked the defog circuit. Basically did nothing that I think will solve my problem. Service man said they needed to do this before they do the next step, which is to replace the enter camera module. Of course if...

I bought my S new in 2016. One of the last AP1 builds. Autopilot works fine if I don't stray too far from home. Milwaukee to Chicago and back is no problem. Road trips are another story. After a few hundred miles it just stops working. No cruise control or steering wheel icons. It sees...

Tesla just increased the price $1,000, so $57,990 for long range and $62,990 for performance. It also changed for inventory cars. I feel fortunate I ordered an inventory car last week. Pick it up Saturday.

For my post refresh AP1 Red 90D with 54,000 miles, Tesla offered $34,000. AutoNation $41,000. Tesla knows my exact configuration but AutoNation did not know I have Pano roof, air suspension, and UHF sound when they quoted. They knocked off $300 because I only have one key. Didn't ask about...

You've been on this site for more than 10 years and only have 5 posts? Must be some kind of record. Don't waste one by replying :D

Seems to be a semantics problem here. Cars manufactured between end of September 2014 and end of October 2016, roughly 55,000 to 175,000 VIN, have a single camera Mobile-Eye with AP1. It does a semi-automatic lane change. Move the turn signal and the car steers itself into the adjacent lane...

400 miles would make my drives so much better. On my Florida-Wisconsin treks I could avoid the downtown Atlanta underground parking lot and the Chattanooga airport superchargers. Heading up the east coast I could skip Savannah airport. If I didn't have to make these long drives I'd spend...

It's absolutely worth the extra $20K. It seems like an order of magnitude acceleration increase going to performance. It's unbelievable. I wouldn't get it because at my age I don't want to hurt my friends, but mostly because the extra 43 miles would make a big difference for trips - charging...

I got a 2014 P85+ loaner Thursday in Highland Park. Returned it Friday. They had to calibrate my radar under warranty. I've had 5 or 6 loaners in the last 6 years. One time I waited there 1½ hours while they did annual service. 3 years ago after they replaced my windshield they put my car on...

Pretty recent, just a few days ago.

I mount mine horizontally with one suction cup in the black and one in the clear glass. Works great. For I-Pass I mount it vertically completely in the black. September 2016 build 90D.

An inventory P100D for $85,000 with tax credit.... Model S P100D 5YJSA1E40JF286779 | Tesla

Before you get a 911 for your play car, test drive a Model 3 Performance. No noise but the handling is quite a bit snappier than the S. And then you have a complete set. :D
