I'm going to hitchhike on this thread. I currently have a first version Model Y with a factory installed hitch. I just ordered a new one and plan to take delivery next week. My local service guy non-Tesla but sells and works on a lot of them, says he thinks I just can't move the hitch from the...

Great review. I got my Yoke S about four months ago. I, too, have become accomplished to the Yoke. If I had a choice, I'd take a wheel, but the visibility of the over-the-wheel dash screen is a definite plush. I don't miss the D-R-P stock. The car gets which direction I want to start going about...

I agree on the short interval, but I interpeted it as the extra 5% was negated by the savings lost from the regen from the brakes when the battery went from 100 to 95 not effecting the whole day.

Elon says going to 100% isn't any better than 95% because the regen brakes don't work. So the efficiency of the car is diminished losing the benefit of the 100% charge. "It’s not a big deal. Charge to 90% to 95% & you’ll be fine. At 100% state of charge, regen braking doesn’t work, because the...

Never found out. I plugged it into charge the main battery and set it at 85%. As soon as it started to charge the screen went away.

I just sold my 2017 S with unlimited charging. It was outside 9 months of being able to transfer the free supercharging. The number of inquiries wanting to know if the supercharging transfers would disagree with your #1. The well informed user on this forum may realize it's a small token, most...

Surprised at the 7 nah and 3 yea votes. Wondering how many of the 7 nah's are model 3 and Y owners. Not sure why an S owner wouldn't want to add 'value' to their $100,000 purchase.

Today Tesla is way of ahead of the competition. Emphasis on today. It would boost sales of S‘s and X’s. And what’s wrong with good will? :):)

The warranty is a artificial limit. So they don’t have to pay forever. And a motivation to buy a new one. Which is the reason for the ”feature”: sales.

I realize Tesla currently doesn’t need any “boosts” in sales or marketing; they’re doing just fine. (Ever see a Tesla ad on TV?) But, in business you should never stop looking behind you because others can zoom past you. Also, in my opinion, Tesla’s best simple feature is it’s supercharging...

"Window defroster is a critical safety feature just like the wipers are. You may need it really, really fast when you really can't go surfing the menus." I agree with this 100%. Just this AM I had to pull over to find the defrosters and the difference in the icon doesn't make it easy to tell...

I can't seem to find the the "display chargers" icon on the map (If I remember right the little lightening bolt icon in the trio of icons on the map). In the old version you could display all the 3 levels of chargers on the map. It was a great help to decide if I was going to stop at the next...

Same here and I have a Yoke Model S 2021 LR not plaid. I haven't figured out a pattern yet.

Hopped into my latest model S (yoke steering wheel), with 768 miles on it last night. The left screen had big red letters "PULL OVER SAFELY - vehicle is preparing to shut down." This is with a 79% main battery charge. It had been sitting all day in 30-40 degree weather if that makes a...

Forgot to add it has it rear jump seat which has been removed but I still have the seat.
