I hope none of these holier-than-thou folks never sneeze and close his or her eyes while driving, or drink a bottle of water and take one hand off the steering wheel, or look at the name of the music playing on the screen, or have an itch and scratch it, or look in the rear view mirror when they...

I received the message today. It says 1 hour 40 minutes to install it. I already got the map upgrade. Anyone know what's in this latest software upgrade? There doesn't seem to be much info out there with a cursory search on the interwebs.

I could have paid cash too, and then speaking of liquid assets, would have been cash flow poor for a while so I took the same route. I put ~40k down and financed the rest at a very cheap rate. In fact, the cost of borrowing the money is so cheap comparatively speaking that I wonder why I don't...

Hi folks, I'd say for 85% of my driving I am off to the office, visit same customers, drive home, charge. Rinse and repeat, and repeat, and repeat, and repeat..... Got me to wondering: Is there benefit to randomizing the level of discharge I let the battery get to? How about the charge? I...

Our cars are almost identical. After ~5,000 miles I can say without doubt that I absolutely love mine. Welcome to the club!

My 2015 85D has an awesome sounding "whine" when I floor it .... sounds like a **gasp** motor pitched whine ... I love it. Otherwise it is almost entirely silent. Maybe it is the modulation of the speed controller, but whatever it is I really like the way it sounds under heavy acceleration.

Congratulations?

I haven't seen any threads with a before and after. I think I saw one the other day where he was going to test, but no follow-up yet. Wasn't there some changes to the acceleration at various speeds?

I got to thinking while having my air-suspension on the very high setting while washing it, that if someone had more money than maybe common sense (or just a lot of money) maybe they would have tried putting all-terrain tires on the car, jacking up the wheels via air suspension and creating one...

I'm pretty impressed with the system so far. I think we as a community need to be cautious how we use this capability or it could have some negative repercussions based on my limited experience so far as I could see very easily being lulled into a false sense of security and not paying attention...

I don't always drive myself, but when I do, it is a Tesla model S.

And thus this conversation should end. But I'm going to go out on a limb here and predict it doesn't.

Although I do so enjoy the salt ... isn't there enough of this in the other thread you people keep posting in?

Thanks for all the helpful suggestions. 70mph definitely isn't an option for me. :) I'm going to allow plenty of extra time so I will be good whichever route I take, but definitely a bit apprehensive for my first road trip! P.S. If I go the Port Orange route do you just double-back to I4 via...

Hey guys, Curious how you would plan the following trip: Ponte Vedra (Nocatee actually, just south of Jacksonville) to Tampa and then on to Clearwater. 85D w/ 262 rated range full charge. EV Trip Planner shows 225 miles/73.5 KwH to my destination in Tampa, and then it isn't too far to my...
