Yes, I think you're right. After I posted this, I looked at Tire Rack's Vredestein Quadrac Pro description and it described that the inner tread is different than the outer tread. They serve different purposes and can't be flipped. Perhaps, a tire mfr will make a special Tesla tire that has...

After getting only 13000 mi on 21" Hankooks for my P85, I thought of an idea that I wanted to run by the forum. The Hankooks are directional but the Nankangs are not, I am pretty sure. This won't work with directional tires but how about taking the rear tires after about 4000 or 5000 miles...

My Second cracked 21" wheel in two years. After an 8000 mile road trip from San Diego to Calgary and back, I also had a cracked 21" wheel on my last day, fortunately. Can't imagine what hassle it would have been to crack one in remote Canada! This crack has me down for four days: One to...

Good question! I also will try staying with 5.6 as long as possible. Hopefully it will not nag me every time I get in the car asking when to install 5.8. That would be annoying but worth it. I have the driveway scrape problem that one poster had. I also do not want any reduction of range...

On the ABC news site I found this quote: http://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/tesla-fire-shows-electrics-face-safety-challenges-20463902 "If you think about what you'd rather be close to, 10 gallons of gasoline or a battery pack, I'd pick the battery pack every day," said Giorgio Rizzoni...

I have firmware 4.5 but my charge slider does not show a percentage like the screenshot in this thread shows???? I wish it did. Does anyone else have a slider without a percentage number?

What voltage does it show on the Model S screen? Take note of the voltage at 5 Amps and adjust it back to 12 and see if the voltage drops more than a few volts. If it does, I'm guessing that the Model S senses a bad connection or a loaded circuit and drops it back to the 5 Amps. Perhaps there...

What about the software updates? I think we need the service plans for them beyond V4.xx.

The first time I brought mine home and drove up the driveway, the bottom scraped the pavement due to a steep incline to my garage. Now, I have to stop and raise it to very high, every time I park it in my garage. I would like it to do that automatically using a location based option, just as...

I'll be there too with my Grey w/ Grey wheels P85. Thanks for organizing the get together.
