    Aware of tire noise dampening?

    How did I miss that?!? Ha.

    Aware of tire noise dampening?

    I ran over a nail and had a slow leak with one of my tires this week. In getting it repaired at Discount Tire, they brought the tire into the waiting room to show me that Tesla has added inch thick foam to the inside of the tires (over the tread portion) to assist with noise suppression. They...

    2013 S85 to 2016 90D

    I think that the 2013 award was well-deserved, and am really glad that Tesla has constantly worked to incremetally improve the Model S over the years rather than just resting on its laurels. In looking at that list of improvements, it is really clear that Tesla is following the forums and is...

    2013 S85 to 2016 90D

    Just upgraded to a 90D (from a 2013 S85) and thought I would share my quick initial impressions: The 90D's acceleration and ability to accelerate around corners is very impressive. While a major step up (and forward), part of me misses the madness of the S85's traction control when losing the...

    Glove Compartment Storage Tray

    My Dec. '13 S has a small alcove at the front of the glovebox for the J1772. Do new builds no longer have that?

    Interior lighting from Premium Package

    I had that problem (LED strips detaching) until I tried 3M Scotch Mount Molding Tape. Haven't had a problem since even with the insane Vegas heat!

    Model X Signature Configuration has begun!

    There appears to be a "groove" in the base of the seat... I was assuming that the seat would pivot forward and continue to travel forward beyond the carpet cut-out. The "sculptural" contours of the first row setbacks and second row seats joining together would be consistent with Elon's prior...

    Model X Signature Configuration has begun!

    It definitely would appear that the second row seats slide forward and "submarine" themselves under the front seats... The back of the front seats appear to be an exact match for the contours of the second-row seats in that configuration. That would make it easy to get in and out of the rear...

    Road trip to Rocky Point, Mexico

    We just went in June with the Tesla (trip #2 with the Tesla). Seriously missing those shrimp buckets from Wrecked and Banditos! Love that drive down...

    DOME Lights: Not LED?

    The LED modules (at least the old ones) are quite large, and I don't believe that there would be any way to switch them out without removing the headliner.

    Supercharger - Buckeye, AZ

    With a trailer behind it. Seriously? That is obnoxious. I wonder if the coal-rolling idiots are going to start doing this for sport...

    Resale Value?

    While I doubt that I will follow through, the P85D is very enticing. Posted on TM also... How much should I expect someone to pay for a 2013 S85 with appx. 13k on the odometer these days? Specs: 85 (non P) 19" wheels Metallic Silver Tech package Pano roof Grey leather interior Matte...

    Road trip to Rocky Point, Mexico

    My girlfriend and I just got back from a Rocky Point road trip with the Tesla. We stayed overnight in Phoenix on the way down, topped off in Gila Bend and the Sonoran Sky was kind enough to let us use a wall outlet to trickle charge while we were there (I had made arrangements to charge at an...
