    She's finally here!

    Congrats!! Not a small thing at all. Ive got S that is “stuck” at 137k miles because of shut down, and I’d do it all over again!!

    The Tesla Model S is the most amazing thing I've ever seen.

    Agree with all of the above.....tried out a Tesla and bought as soon as one became available in 2013. Still have and love the car at 136K miles; I'll never go back to ICE and probably not even away from Tesla. They've been very good to me.

    Battery Management System - What I Learned At Tesla Service Center

    Don’t scare new over the road drivers: I have been driving long distance trips (1100 mi one way) for 6 years on my S 85. Superchargers used to be 150 mi apart, most places in rural midwest that distance is now 80-100 miles. As one friend says who has tried shorter trips in non Teslas: “Don’t...

    Should I avoid cars with 85kwh packs?

    I purchased Tesla S P26351 in December, 2013 and have driven it 134,230 miles since. I am somewhat skeptical about the existence of a malevolent “plot” to cap battery performance given my experience over the years, and I’d buy the car again in a heartbeat. Rather than the battery, there are...
