    Model S Photo Gallery

    Is that the Tesla red or is it a wrap. Whatever it is, it is incredible!!! I don't remember the red Tesla color being that brilliant. I am goin to buy a new Performance S next month and I can't make up my mind between the white with white interior or the red with white interior. Plus I...

    And this is why I buy a Tesla instead of Mercedes

    OK guys ... let's get back on track RE: Service good or bad :)

    And this is why I buy a Tesla instead of Mercedes

    I double checked my previous post and I cannot find anyplace where I said, implied or mentioned, "incapable of learning new technologies." Interesting point you have made however; I have two chief developers who are 45 years old (I suppose this is old for a developer) whom I wouldn't trade for...

    And this is why I buy a Tesla instead of Mercedes

    Are you looking for a position in a software company? :)

    And this is why I buy a Tesla instead of Mercedes

    It's not an age issue or apples and oranges analogy at all. It's simply a matter of relevant education and experience. EG: If a Senior Porsche technician looking for a job came to an interview with a Tesla Customer Support Manager, a typical question might be "Do you have any knowledge and/or...

    And this is why I buy a Tesla instead of Mercedes

    Here is another case of where our age group really doesn't understand todays' technology scene. Let me explain: I am the CEO of a software company. I see resumes all day long from developers who claim to have 10-20 years of coding experience and are asking high salaries. These people are almost...

    And this is why I buy a Tesla instead of Mercedes

    In real estate they say the only three things that matter is "location, location and location". To a consumer that has purchased a luxury car, the three things that really matter are "service, service and service". I will always remember when I purchased my first Mercedes S Class car on Long...

    I expected more from a P85D

    Yesterday my wife and I drove our P85 to Raleigh, NC to test drive the P95D and compare it to my P85. Here is our findings: First thing that everyone does is, put the "D" in "insane mode" and then mash the pedal from a dead stop until it hits about 60mph. So I did this and of course we were...

    Aftermarket Model S Wheel options

    Wow! Gorgeous! How do they perform as compared to the stock 19" wheels? Does anyone have these wheels on a pearl white? I am undecided about black or hyper silver MS310s.

    Aftermarket Model S Wheel options

    I was told that they only come in 22" and not 20". The 20" might be terrific. Please post some pics of your wheels. - - - Updated - - - I could go with these ... but I really like the "hyper silver" of the M310s. Can I get these in "hyper silver" or a reasonable equivalent? On another note...

    Aftermarket Model S Wheel options

    I have been trying to make a decision on purchasing new wheels to replace my 19" stock wheels on my Pearl White P85. I do like the Tesla 21" Turbine wheels but I think I have found something better on EBAY. They are the Avant Guard M310 Silver Concave Wheels. They are absolutely gorgeous and go...

    XM radio reception

    When we took delivery of our P85 almost 1 month ago we noticed that we were getting an error msg while trying to receive XM radio stations. We brought the car into service and they said the antenna was not hooked up. So they, I believe, replaced the rear window, connected the XM antenna and let...

    Powder Coating Wheels

    Is your car white or pearl white?

    Powder Coating Wheels

    Has anyone with a Pearl White P85 tried powder coating their 19" wheels in Pearl White? I ask because I am thinking about doing this. I once saw a green snakeskin Viper roadster with green snakeskin powder coated wheels and it was simply awesome!

    Check Antenna message

    I had Sirius/XM establish an account for my Model S. I cannot receive any stations even though I have moved the car to an open area. I get the following message, "check antenna". The XM tech and Tesla tech both said, "Wait for an hour or so and you will receive a signal". Of course I am still...
