That's VERY interesting info. I had no idea it was that widespread an issue. I'm going to get an alignment shop to deal with it as best they can (making sure there is zero toe all around), and see how many miles I can get out of my new tires...which BY THE WAY - you can easily fit 275/30/21...

Yeah depending on winds and rain (rain can suck a ton of power/efficiency) - I typically see efficiency levels vary anywhere between 95% all the way down to 65%. That lowest efficiency was when it was about 40 degrees out with moderate rain and wind, heat going, and elevation changes. When I...

I had planned on getting the Tesla Service Center to mount and balance new tires for me during my annual. I received a short notice surprise when they told me that the Hankook Ventus V12 tires I've ordered they would refuse to touch because it is an "aftermarket part"....meaning they aren't the...

AHHHHH MY TINT LOOKS SO GOOD ON MY CAR!!! I couldn't be happier. They walked me back to the back to show me them applying it to the car and I instantly shouted "F*CK YES!"....lol all the techs in the shop stopped what they were doing and looked up with a scared face. Went with Spectra...

You don't really need a 14-50 to 14-30 adapter. You can just use a hack saw to "modify" the neutral prong of the male end of the 14-50 extension cord. Then it will fit a 14-50 or 14-30 receptacle (obviously you have to dial down the amperage accordingly), and even plug the modified end into the...

Did you replace them for Wh/mi efficiency or looks or comfort?

Thanks for the great insight. SOOW for me it is!

Here is another way of putting it: Tesla Model S Buyers', Delivery and Owners' Guide scroll down until you see the mostly black graphic with a green battery on the left portion of it. That might make it a bit clearer for some.

Digging up this thread from the dead! Would this cable be acceptable for an 14-50 extension cable? It's not SOOW, but looks exactly the same. It says it is "indoor" cable, but if I am gentle with the cable, would it be okay for occasional use? I plan to use it when visiting a couple...

Anyone want to take a guess as to why they dropped this one $15k :eek: Looks like one HELL of a deal!!! 85 kWh Performance Model S P13239 | Tesla Motors

I'm scheduled to get all windows done this Wednesday...what is the consensus on the Pano roof? It looked pretty UV protected from the factory, so I didn't consider getting it tinted (for heat mitigation reasons only). Do lots of people get the roof tinted as well?

Nope. That looks great. Now to get one where all three have 21" silver wheels...

I'm still trying to think of a good analogy for the whole thing. I come from about 5 years in the NiMh cell world. How about this one - it's like looking at a large backyard pool and saying "I can tell you that exactly 257 kids can all fit in this pool and have a great time". In reality, you...

yup - assuming this can't happen today - I would still love to get a red white and blue ms picture. Maybe this weekend anytime if possible?
