    I dipped my Model S

    It would be good to see how it looks with doors open, where the exterior paint blends in with the original paint, or did you (or plan to) paint all the original color?

    Tesla Battery Swap Program Invite - Pros and Cons?

    I just received an email yesterday offering the opportunity to participate in the Tesla battery swap program (at Harris Ranch). I haven't called the number yet to set an appointment to go in, but it seems that none of the folks I know that have Teslas received the invite (perhaps I was invited...

    Transponder placement

    Mount it under the nose cone.

    Cargo Area Liner Mat for Easy Cleaning

    Is it possible to get it in a black fabric that matches the interior? If so, we'd be interested in getting one.

    My battery makes a "thunking" sound

    We've had the S for just shy of 6 months and have about 10K miles on it. I've noticed that when charging or sometimes waiting at a light or when the car is stopped that there's a "thunking" sound that is coming from somewhere in the car (seems to be from the back). It sounds like a "thunk" or...

    Why does Model S not have a trip computer?

    I find it incredibly annoying that my old cars (VW Passat and a VW Jetta TDi) both had the trip computers. But super perplexed as to why the S doesn't. Not a major fail on the part of Tesla, but somewhere akin to probably not hiring the best and smartest to work in their software development...

    License Plate Placement with the ACC Sensor

    Boy, that looks crappy.

    Tesla’s Software/User Interface Priorities In Light of Recent Developments

    Ok, seriously.. "as a software developer" and of course... ALMOST ALL OTHER CARS IN THE WORLD that have media, have the ability to do playlists, etc. The Tesla is FIVE YEARS backward. Heck, my friend's $22K subaru has a better audio system. I completely agree. If it's good off the shelf, buy...

    Modifications to car made since delivery

    Why don't you just post the source instead of having everyone PM you on it? For those that just want to go directly to the source, here it is: Footrest Dead Pedal

    Why does Model S not have a trip computer?

    This is the one feature that I miss from my VW Jetta Sportwagon - just the simple tracking of individual trips (they don't even need to be accumulative). I just want to know the distance traveled, the total time (of car in motion) and some sort of efficiency.

    Removing warning from Windshield Visor - Have you done it? (or do you want to?)

    There was a trail of comments on the forum at Tesla about people removing the ugly warnings on their sun visors using 90+ alcohol. Has anyone done it here? And if so, what are the steps to do so, so that you don't end up with stains and/or a sticky, gluey mess?

    Tesla to Open a Store in Pasadena - and it's not even posted on their website yet!

    I don't know where you'd leave the car. There's no parking in Old Town (well there are parking garages and street parking). The showroom is a showroom. It won't have space for folks to leave their cars. Not a SC. It used to be a bookstore.

    It's that time again - embarrassing loud AC compressor

    I should have the SC take a look at my car. I have to have the AC at around 65-66 to get the car comfortable around 72-74. I hope Casey in Van Nuys can help on this. I've had a few troubles with the car (including the master charger going out last week).

    Windshield Stress Fracture (and with tinting) - cracked :(

    A technician stopped by the house yesterday morning to take a look at it. He said it appears that it is a scratch and not a crack, which is good. I'm waiting for a call-back from the SC manager though to discuss if there's a potential for the scratch to turn into a crack, just knowing that the...

    Windshield Stress Fracture (and with tinting) - cracked :(

    I was hand washing my car today and noticed a slight crack on the passenger side of the windshield. It's small and is located in the black area of the glass and is about 4-5 inches long and in about 6-8 inches from the lower right corner of the windshield. I'm going to bring it into the...
