    Model S lowers itself after park? How long it takes to get a lower bumper?

    For about the first 3 weeks after I got my car in August of last year, my car would do this whenever I drove and parked in my spot at work. I would nuzzle up to the little concrete barrier and walk away from the car taking one last glance to make sure that everything looked fine. Now this...

    Iced windshield wipers. Second winter

    Mind blown on the double tap advice... I wondered why the icon appeared blue when activated with a single tap but never thought to tap it again.

    My Experience With a Flooded Model S in Houston

    I was at the North Houston Service Center today just to use the Supercharger. There were 5 other Teslas in the parking lot. Some were charging and some were just parked there. The gallery and service center were both closed. The area looked very dry as far as I could tell. It didn't have...

    This is why Teslas are totaled so easily

    I have wondered the same thing myself. My Tesla is on order to arrive next month and I need to have some minor bodywork done on my Audi. The guy at the auto body shop who did the estimate for my car mentioned that the parts to repair a Tesla are not that expensive compared to the cost of parts...

    Top Speed On A 2017 Model S 75

    I had an extended test drive two weeks ago with a 90D where I was able to take the car for a 2 day period. I found out within about 15 minutes that I was electronically limited to 85mph. I was hoping for at least 88 a la Back to the Future but I guess that would be asking for too much. I'm...
