    I'm living proof the Model S is the safest car ever made!

    Absolutely astonishing. You are one very lucky driver. Thank God for the safety of this car. BTW, has anybody noticed that in all the crash pictures we have seen, the windshield never breaks?

    Disney's current position regarding electric chargers

    Panoramic Roof - No Sun Shade Needed?

    OK, I've had my white P85 with pano roof since last November, and now it's mid-August. I live in south Florida. I've noticed that the a/c sometimes has a bit of trouble keeping up with the heat through the pano roof; it starts off great, cools the car down, but after prolonged driving the car...

    Meetup at upcoming West Palm Beach service center

    So far no date or location. Just stopped at Dania and they have no information. I'll try to ping Fremont and see what I can learn.

    What happens when someone is TOO excited to see a Model S

    Bull (person's head) meets china shop (Tesla rear-view mirror). Sigh.

    Meetup at upcoming West Palm Beach service center

    Happy to. But since you seem to be the First To Know about Tesla's timing, let me know when you hear about WPB...in the meantime I will continue to prowl town to look for it.

    Design Studio Updates!

    Strikes me that this is a strong indication that Tesla's earning announcement will be very positive. Manufacturers don't typically raise prices when they are losing money.

    What should I use on my new Tesla? A Wax, a Paint Sealant or a Permanent Coating?

    So I washed a quarter panel of my 9-month-old Model S with Dawn last night to remove the JUST APPLIED carnauba wax, chamoised it dry, let it sit for a few minutes, and hand-applied two coats of Pro Honda Glare with several microfiber towels. (No doubt some purists will be appalled.) Result...

    Environmentalist on NPR assails EVs as worse than ICEs, calls for walking and biking

    That's good news. Do you have links to those rebuttals? Zehner seems to be discredited, but I'd like more ammo to rebut reports like the NAS one.

    Model S bluetooth issues

    Well, I have the most bizarre bug with an iPhone 5 and the 4.5 release: my Contacts list stops its listing at my name (about 25 entries into a list of nearly 3000). However, if I reverse my first and last name, the full contact list appears. This is repeatable, and persists across reboots, dis-...

    Environmentalist on NPR assails EVs as worse than ICEs, calls for walking and biking

    Zehner may not be credible; I don't know. But the report cited (http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=12794) is a credible one, with significant scientific input and published by an authoritative institution. Reading selected sections on EVs seems to confirm that, once manufacturing...
