Still only 6 working. The two furthest to the right (1A/1B) weren’t working today. Also, I only got 48 kW charge speed even when not sharing, with my Model S 85 at ~35% state of charge. Hopefully, it was a fluke.

The calendar sync also brings in any address data in calendar events. On Model S or X, it’s a handy way to quickly navigate to your destination. When you touch the calendar event, the location pops up on the map, and you can touch the navigate button. Voila.

It’s pretty clear that the SR Model 3 isn’t going to be available with the full federal tax credit (a half credit is likely for most Americans who’ve preordered). For those who plan to get PUP anyway, as others have pointed out, the "effective" cost of upgrading to LR is "only" $5,250. To me...

I went on a weekday at around 11 am, and while there were a few people there, I was able to spend a half hour with the car, including plenty of time in the drivre’s seat, without any wait. It’s gorgeous in red, so much so that it convinced my wife and me to go with red over white.

@SD Diver Thanks for the reply! Guess I'm one of the laggers. If a software update I really need is released, guess I'll start fretting.

While all you AP (1 or 2!) drivers are going on about updates, I'm still running 8.0 firmware 17.8.16. My car has prompted me to install an update twice, and both failed. I have a May 2014 S85 with no frills. The fanciest options I can claim are tech package and something other than standard...

I use the little compartment below the touchscreen as well, but be warned if you decide to floor the accelerator. My Ray-Bans got a nice scratch right in my line of sight from one such misadventure, when the glasses came flying out and struck lens-first against the unforgiving yacht floor. So...

@HumbleDriver Wow! Consider yourself lucky you're breaking evenish if you're in CT. Maybe you should move. I'm in Maryland. I've owned the Model S for a month and a half. In my first 30 days of driving it, I'm saving 28% compared to my previous 33 mpg Honda Accord, and that's with a higher...

I'm new to Model S. Am I allowed to enjoy Easter eggs too, even if I'm atheist? Although as a classic S owner without Autopilot, Air Suspension, or Ludicrous, I see there aren't very many available to me anyway. I don't even have fake-me-out-8.1 yet, so no sketch pad as yet.

@AllenWong I played with the screen a little more, and I see now that indeed it does dim when I press an icon on the four button screen. It's just quick and subtle, and it happens while my finger still covers the icon unless I look carefully from an angle. If it's hard to change how dramatic the...

I have my haptic vibrate on max and don't get a vibration feedback either. I don't see any Remote S specific haptic feedback options to play with. And too late. I already gave a 5 star review! And I will happily do it again when the next version comes out. I like the idea @sdorn posted. A quick...

I got my Model S a few weeks ago, and so far, I'm loving my Remote S app, especially for its Apple Watch compatibility. It's great to be able to go for a run without taking my keyfob. One small suggestion: would it be possible to make the four buttons visibly "press" when touched, in the car...

My CPO delivery experience was terrible. I mean the price was good, the car was in excellent shape, and the service was top notch, but I miss the traditional dealership experience. When we bought our Leaf from Nissan 5 years ago, the dealership gave us a voucher for a free first oil change...

Didn't mean to hijack a Tesla forum with Apple vs. Android. I will say that most of us have committed to one or the other platform. It'd be hard for me to justify jumping ship now that I'm versed in iOS and addicted to the integration of my iPhone, iPad, Watch, and AirPods. I suspect many...

16. Working in unison as the oxymoronically named ICE team, can melt polar ice caps, ridding us of those pesky polar bears and emperor penguins. 17. Simply by gunning it, can double as weapons of mass destruction by spewing noxious and offensive fumes toward all those foolish enough to drive...
