    Insurance for the Signature Model X

    Yep I have the same question. Which insurance company? I've been curious about the cost of replacing that windshield! It's one of the several things holding me back from configuring by Model X signature.

    Texas Supercharger Locations (location speculation, discussion)

    One of the Austin/San Antonio list members did some sleuthing on Sunday in San Marcos and picked up some good tidbits from the contractor there (sounds like he was enjoying being a micro-celebrity as people stopped by to pick his brain!). In addition to Waco and Columbus, he confirmed that...

    Texas Legislative update: Please help out if you live in Texas

    Good point on using Dell as the "cut out the middleman" example.

    Texas Legislative update: Please help out if you live in Texas

    A good approach to take on this issue, in my opinion, is, "What if Apple weren't able to sell their products directly to their customers? Then Apple wouldn't have been able to innovate with how they sell their product (Apple Has twice the sales per square foot of any other U.S. retailer) and...

    How do Louisiana car owners get their cars serviced? I know someone in Monroe that's thinking about getting the model S and I want to know what I can tell them about service.

    Houston, TX

    I just got my high powered wall connector in the mail yesterday and now I need to get it installed! Unfortunately, I also discovered the same L shaped crack on my windshield (passenger side, lower corner) on Saturday morning that I've seen a lot of people writing about. I heard that Stacy...

    Alas, new problem: Windshield Stress Fracture. Anyone else?

    My wife discovered an L shaped crack that starts at the lower right of the windshield yesterday. Argh! I've had my car for almost 3 months now and have put 3,000 miles on it. I've contacted my local Tesla service center here in Houston and hopefully they'll take care of it. Like others, I'm...

    My detailed review of the Model S (with pics)

    I wrote a detailed review of my Tesla Model S after owning it for about 3 months. Here's a summary of it... Here's my car: Here it is being delivered (in Houston, TX): Vanity plates! I figured out a practical use for the car's anytime backup camera! And here's a pic of my daughter and...

    Owners delivery stories, photos and first impressions

    It's fine for ME-- that's not the problem. When I'm showing the car to someone else and they have to close the front passenger door twice or three times to get it closed correctly, it stands out in a bad way. I'm sure they'll fix this issue in future builds (for all I know, they've already fixed...
