    Pothole + 21" low profile Model S rims/tires = big trouble (PHOTOS)

    I suffered the same damage as the OP recently. It happened during night driving in a county road...no speeding involved. One I can say is that Tesla Roadside service was quick to respond and was very helpful getting my MS to the SC and an Uber to my final destination.

    Picking up my Model S in Fremont this Saturday

    Hey Joe, congrats on the purchase. In your video you mentioned losing some frunck space; it looks like you did not order the D version so you should have more space in the frunck compared to a D. Have a good flight and have a better drive back home in your new ride.

    ICE mechanics HATE Tesla!

    Michael Bloomberg made some comments recently pertaining to the future US President; in his comments he mentioned that the technology, not global trade, is the job killer in the US. The EV technology is going mainstream, if it's not there already, and that's the reality of those entities that...

    More praise for Tesla service

    My less than one experience with my local SC have all been very good. I actually feel a bit spoiled when I go there :-)

    ICE mechanics HATE Tesla!

    I was sitting in a business networking meeting this morning and one of the attendees owns a auto repair/maintenance shop (he claims to be a Tesla tech because he worked on an electric Rav4). There was another attendee talking to another person about how he wanted to buy a Tesla. The mechanic...

    Spare 12v in housing above rearview mirror

    Should be constant. There are many posts featuring discussions regarding the BlackVue. The search box is your friend.

    Mine is paid for...are you open to paying for my annual service?

    What happens when you run out of energy ?

    Good to know...I'm a relatively new owner (less than 7 months)

    What happens when you run out of energy ?

    For those who don't plan or those who's plans get messed up, this is a real issue. For me, I normally set my charge limit to 50%. Last weekend, I had to make an emergency 120 mile (one way) trip. I was able to make the trip to my destination but for my return trip, I had to extend my route so...

    Also, be prepared to go back in time about 30 years or so.

    Current Owners - P90DL to P100D upgrade

    Fair...to me, Again, I don't see TSLA as viewing the extra $10k as trying to be fair to the early "upgraders." If the hardware (other than the bigger battery pack) is present in the P90D's for the upgrade to a P100DL then the way I see it is this, $10k for the L and another $10k for the...

    Current Owners - P90DL to P100D upgrade

    Agreed. Im in the same boat. A $20k upgrade for L and the 100 pack is worth it to me. The extra $10k is a money grab and IMHO, it has nothing to do with the owners who paid the $10k to upgrade to an L.

    Wow, big price difference

    I have a P90D without the L and I'm curious to see the pricing (if it will even happen) for the battery (100) and performance (L) upgrade.

    Model S changes (8/30/16) (Including P100D!)

    I hear Tesla is building a battery factory in Nevada.
