    Consumer Reports Podcast #5

    Just watched this. Very entertaining. About 13 minutes of good natures cheer leading about the Model S.

    4 weeks into production and color changed.

    I love my Blue Model S--and I agree that the chrome is perfect. I added just a bit of the multi-coat red to the center caps via the inserts that another TMC member has produced.

    I found the rattle--it was my own USB memory sticks! I'm totally in love again.

    I'm a car rattle obsessive. My last car, a Mercedes CL500, had a consistent rattle in the two wood trim pieces around the seat controls. No matter what was tried, the rattle kept coming back. So when I started hearing a similar rattle going over bumps in my 1-month old Model S, I went crazy...

    Blue exterior - any comments from those who have seen or purchased?

    I love my Blue Model S! I have wanted a blue car for a long time but always wound up with black. There just weren't many blues that were exactly right. This one is. And with the black dash and tan interior--the combo is spectacular. Plus, just to give a little punch, I got the multi-coat...

    Great First Service Center experience - San Rafael CA (Marin County)

    I've had my Blue Model S 85 for 1 month. I scheduled a service appointment to address a squeak in the AC when shutting off and moisture in one of the back-up lights after washing. I live 40 miles from the San Rafael Service Center so I drove myself in. First; I got to drive right by the...

    Missing features not really missed…

    Ames, thanks for the post. I thought I would be disappointed with a couple of missing features like blind spot alert, but now that I've had the car for a while I would not want to increase weight to add features that it sounds like don't guarantee any more safety than old-fashioned driving...

    Maiden Voyage: North Bay to Stanford Inn in Mendocino. GREAT TRIP! Beautiful roads.

    Just finished a three day trip from Sebastopol to Mendocino as our first road trip (MS85, Blue,Tan,Pano, Suspension, 19", Tech) WITH our Doberman. Stayed at the Stanford Inn by the Sea as it was listed in Recargo as having two 30 amp, 240 Volt, J1772 charge stations. GREAT TRIP! Wonderful...

    (almost) 1k Mile report and comparason to Audi A6...

    I was seriously considering the A6 or A7 before I bought my Model S three weeks ago (my previous car was a Mercedes CL 500). One of the things I have grown to love is the absence of the wide center console found in Audis and most other upscale cars. I think the sleek, simplicity of design of...

    no more chrome

    Personally I love the chrome on my Model S. But it's great that you carried the wrapping through so the effect is consistent.

    Burnt rubber smell with climate control on

    I noticed this type of smell the 2nd day I had the car--when the temperature dropped and the heater came on. Freaked me out at first--except no warning lights came on and everything stayed operational. I'm suspecting it is the heater but will continue to monitor it. I have to take the car in...

    Any thoughts on the seats?

    I was concerned about the seats at first because they didn't have the "plump" bolstered feel of my previous vehicle a Mercedes CL500. AND I have a herniated disc which makes the seat and ride extremely important to me. But now that I've spent a little time with the car I've grown to love the...
