    Vendor It’s Electric! The EcoHitch and Tesla Relationship

    @Torklift Central I had a ecohitch on my 2012 Model S, and just got it installed on my 2017 (sold my beloved 2012). The unit didn't ship with the undercover, which may be due to the overhang shown above (unsure). Is there an ETA on a new undercover design?

    What is the range impact of the bars?

    We have a problem we need to talk about

    Perhaps we need a new thread about Slacker station suggestions?

    We have a problem we need to talk about

    I guess I'm lucky in that my 8 and 11 year olds seem to have decent music taste... That said, they are in the car far less than I am, so even when we do listen to Katy Perry's Firework for the millionth time it represents a tiny fraction of the audio streaming.

    We have a problem we need to talk about

    I know these kind of conversations can be really hard, but we may as well just come out and say it. We have a problem. It is a big problem. I went into Slacker this morning and tried out the Most Listened To By Tesla Owners channel. The first song was Justin Bieber. Then some weird...

    2012 Model S 85 For Sale

    I have a so-called "A" battery. Not sure of any issues. I believe the SuperCharging rates are slightly lower, but I've never had an issue of rate, and since the system ramps up and down it is a tough thing to measure I suspect.

    2012 Model S 85 For Sale

    I charge to 90% daily, at 228 miles. Haven't full charged in a few years; so no idea what that would be. Maintenance-wise mostly nothing to report. All records for the car are in the My Tesla section of the site, and I presume transfer with the car. If not, I can download and provide to a...

    2012 Model S 85 For Sale

    For Sale: 2012 Green Tesla Model S I'm selling my much beloved 2012 (vin 001590) Model S. We have a 90D and can't justify two right now, so making the hard choice to sell. Car was delivered in December 2012 and is in good shape. 73K miles Garage stored, one owner, no smoking 85kWh battery...

    Firmware 8.0 - For Classic Model S

    My 01590 got an update this AM, but nothing for 167571... and the update was not a whole lot of anything for my classic.

    Farewell my "Classic" Friends

    I've done the same. My wonderful Green 85 has been joined by a gorgeous Red 90D. The differences are mostly subtle, the joy no less great at owning. I'm still toying with the idea of keeping my 85... hard to decide.

    Classic (2012) Model S 85 to new (2016) Model S 90D

    I have a "classic" Model S - vin 001590 - which I love. I've been thinking about getting another Model S to have AWD and Autopilot. I made the plunge and my Red 90D was delivered today. Observations from less than a day of ownership... INTERIOR: 1. I miss the open center console. This new...

    Supercharging Etiquette (or a complete lack thereof)

    I'm the green Model S with the hitch mounted rack and four bikes. I picked the end to not overtake more than one space. I come back 15 minutes later and this happened. Unreal.

    Firmware 8.0

    No matter what 8 has in it, I hope it has something new and shiny for us "classic" owners who lack autopilot, TACC, parking sensors and all that jazz.

    Advice on Charging While on the Cape

    I'm making a similar trip in August. I've not starting to think too much about charging, as the PlugShare map is pretty good on first look.
