Nope...having the same issues on both iOS and Android (error message varies a bit)

If it's not officially a freeway (Interstate, perhaps?), the latest update restricts the car to 5 mph over posted speed limits, but ONLY if autosteer is on. So, if the car thinks the speed limit is 55 and you're at 75, yes, the car would slow to 60 on its own (it will not inadvertently speed up...

It's easy to panic about these things, but remember your previous car would have just had the battery die without warning you a couple of weeks in advance. The 12v battery weakness could be caused by anything (or nothing) -- a light left on, a bad battery, etc. However, the key is that there are...

Great Point... I just sold my early VIN 60 and am waiting for my new 70, and this is a great point. Every time my car is in the garage, it's plugged in. To unplug it, I have to open the garage. To use Homelink from the app, the car has to be unplugged. And then repeat this vicious circle...

Well that explains a few things... I just took mine in for replacement (VIN 83XX) after notification when I scheduled annual service, but on my last supercharge things were unusually slow, and regen has been much more limited than the temperature or SOC would justify. Will see what happens...

In 2014, I was told Dallas had the highest foot traffic, but of course zero sales. Kind of hard to know what metric to use...

I can verify (multiple instances...I often drive rental cars while traveling for work, then forget what's what when I return) that at 4 1/2 mph throwing it from drive to park when you are expecting instead to spray the windshield is quite jarring and disconcerting, especially to the driver...

I just don't get the complaining! If you buy a 2104 Mercedes and the 2015 turns out to be way better, do you complain that they should give you the features they added for 2015? The only real differences are that Tesla doesn't have model years and that they don't pre-market a lot of what's...

I have the official center console (the new version; had the old version prior to that) and as much as I loved the big open space, the center console is really fantastic!!

Um, I think a vibrating steering wheel might be pretty invasive!

Back when there were only a few cars in Austin right after the SC opened, they took my car home because they didn't have enough room to store to overnight and the service center is in a pretty high traffic area. I didn't mind once I knew why, but it was pretty freaked out overnight! Still, I...

I got mine OTA right after a visit to the service center, but have had a couple OTA updates since...

They aren't required to allow use of personal vehicles, just to reimburse you if you do. That said, it is certainly not abuse...the depreciation is pretty rough, but tire wear and tear alone is twice as high as a normal car. Don't get me wrong, I love getting reimbursed while not having gas or...

There's an easy solution to this. I just tell friends/relatives that my insurance company told me not to let anyone else drive it! :rolleyes:

As hard as it is for many of us long time reservation holder owners to admit, Model S isn't for everyone, and certainly not yet. It fits my lifestyle and (with some sacrifices) budget, but as I now have to drive between Austin and Dallas more often than expected, it is a bit of an unexpected...
