    Is the high windshield safe?

    Interesting discussion. I came across these photos of a Model S and I was wondering if it would have been worse with the Model X, since the high-strength roof bar is much more in the rear: T boned by deer (graphic photo) In the pictures above, the roof bar seems to be what kept the passengers...

    Vendor Michelin offers the new Pilot Super Sport Acoustic in 21" sizes !

    I actually have the PSS tires in size 245 front and 265 rear. I got them with my new facelift car and I specifically asked for these acoustic model tires. These are with the TO and Acoustic designation. They were apparently the last set in Europe for now. Cannot try them as I already had to...

    OP, how did it work out for you? Did you receive AP2 now that it has been released?

    Rear view camera resolution upgraded?

    I have a facelift 138xxx Model S with the "old" camera. Could someone provide comparison photos of the old vs. new camera image quality?

    Can Model S P85D Ludicrous upgrade to the 100 kWh packs?

    I received information from the local service center that the upgrade from a P85DL to a P100DL is possible, but costs 50600 euros (yes - fifty thousand six hundred euros, so over 55000 USD)!!! You first have to upgrade to a P90DL for 27500 euros and after that the cost to upgrade to a P100DL is...

    Performance of P85D with Ludicrous upgrade review

    Thanks MarcG for the video. Would love to see a side-by-side drag race video DragTimes-style... Thanks P85DEE and Lolachampcar for your input.

    Performance of P85D with Ludicrous upgrade review

    Thanks P85DEE for the videos. However, why are there no videos of a P85D Insane vs. P85D Ludicrous drag race or P85D Ludicrous vs. P90D Ludicrous (there are only videos of P85D Insane vs. P90DL)? Such videos would be highly appreciated to show the true difference (if any) in the real world. I...

    Auto High Beams no longer works well

    I have noticed the same. The high beams do not come on very often even if it is dark.

    Performance of P85D with Ludicrous upgrade review

    The Porsche Panamera Turbo could be upgraded with the factory "S Powerkit", adding approx. 50 hp. This did not affect the warranty, as Porsche offered this upgrade as an official aftermarket upgrade option. However, the cost was over 18 000 euros in Germany (over 20 000 USD)! Compared to this...

    AP hardware in late-2014 builds?

    The AP hardware was installed as of approx. end of September 2014, but activation of AP features was a separate option, although at first it was "Tech package with Autopilot". If your tech package does not include the AP features, you can pay Tesla for separately activating the features, since...

    backup camera not full screen anymore

    The camera video has never been full-screen, only half screen (at least based on my experience since 6/2014).

    Rear tires for the P85+ with 21x9 rears -- Michelin, Dunlop or Continental?

    It seems that in Germany the Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires AND Continental Contisilent tires are now available for purchase in the size 265/35R21. The Pilot Super Sports are probably superior and overall the best tire handling-wise, but if grip is good in the Contis, are the Contis noticeably...

    Performance of P85D with Ludicrous upgrade review

    I can confirm this. Charge was at 80-90%, no max battery and above 50km/h the Ludicrous acceleration was very noticeably faster than Insane mode in my P85D. The test drive changed my decision so that I am now ordering the upgrade after all.

    2016 Model S Refresh Mega-thread

    My guess: Model 3 -style front mask, LED headlights, ventilated seats. Wish list: HUD, 360-degree top view cameras, adaptive matrix headlights and night vision with dynamic light spot (like BMW/Audi/Mercedes has) including pedestrian and animal detection.
