    What is the best dash camera for the Model S nowadays?

    I had a small fender dent in my 90D and i had to have it repaired. I could have sworn it was someone parked in front of me but couldn't prove it. So now I am getting a dashcam. So far Blackvue seems to be the best and I'm doing 4 channel. Probably best to have it professionally installed. After...

    90D AP1 -> 100D AP2 for $17k. Yay or nay?

    I would say nay if it's for the purposes of getting ap2 vs ap1. I did the same thing, a 12k upgrade for a new 90d ap2. I also felt ton push the trigger because I thought free supercharging was going to end. It's better to wait especially if your ap1 car had good features to begin with. With the...

    First road trip with AP2 - wow!

    I have owned 90D AP1 and now 90D AP2. Current version is 17.17.4. AP2 is improved but is NOT at parity with AP1. 1. Autosteer is more stable with AP1. AP2 seems to get you out of autostart more often than AP1. I have yet to do a successful lane changing with AP2. It knocks me out of autosteer...

    Upgraded from HW1 to HW2 my thoughts

    Still haven't received the new update that allows AEB as an option. Anybody in the same boat? Other than slightly smoother uploading of google maps and net surfi

    Upgraded from HW1 to HW2 my thoughts

    So I made the leap from HW1 90D to HW2 90D by trading in my 2016 blue 90D which was a floor model to begin woth to a white 2016 90D also a floor model (tried to sell blue here but no takers). Thankfully the upgrade only costed me about 12K and kept all the features I wanted. Happy about the car...

    Blue Tesla 90D 12K miles free supercharging

    Trade in scheduled for this weekend if there are no takers. Would be nice to sell it to someone less than what Tesla would do for a 6 month old 90D which is more than what Tesla would offer to me. Only reason for the trade in is I just wanted autopilot 2. Nothing wrong with the 90D at all.

    Blue Tesla 90D 12K miles free supercharging

    I am planning to trade in the vehicle but wanted to see if someone could potentially buy it. Its barely even used, only 6 months old and 've only used it for work. No repairs, no scratches or dings, no one every rode at the back seat, smells like new. Blue, premium package, autopilot1, 19 inch...

    Speech recognition worse with 8.0

    I agree, voice recognition is somewhat worse for this new iteration. Hopefully it can get fixed in the next update. I heard Elon was vying for a better OS in December and that might fix some of the problems.

    Autopilot v8.0.. what's the problem?

    Here is my unbiased impressions of autopilot without going too technical. I have a 3 week old S90D. I'm also a careful driver and I've always used cruise control with former cars. Autopilot feels to me is just giving the car a little more control over adaptive cruise control. In essence, the...

    Owners delivery stories, photos and first impressions

    I finally got my Model S 90D. It was a floor model that exactly matched what I wanted to build. I was very lucky to snag it, only having about 1000 miles and a showroom discount of about 11000. I'm new to electric cars, having driven a Toyota Corolla and an Audi Cabriolet. So my advice and...

    Insurance On Model S?

    Apparently it varies by state too. GEICO charges about 400 per month for a Tesla registered in Iowa. That is reduced in half in states like NV. Definitely good to shop around.

    Ordered 90D. 2yr Lease vs 3yr Lease or Loaning?

    Sad to say I had to finance it. Leasing was not an option because I am still in Iowa for 3 months and Iowa does not allow registration to Iowa. If I wait 3 months, then I lose this great deal. Basically a blue S90D tan leather, autopilot, high fidelity sound, sub zero package, air suspension...
