2014 Model S. I can no longer figure out how to access the owner's manual on the touchscreen. Any help? Also, I can no longer see a way to disable traction control. Is it still possible? Thanks in advance. Long time since I've been on this forum.

Not as pricey as a repaint, one could consider a wrap.

We have an elderly Garland commercial stove; might not even be legal anymore, with its pilot lights. But it's six burners, two ovens, plus a salamander/broiler. It's a beast but we've had it >25 years and it's wholly reliable. Basically built the kitchen around it. That said, I think one can...

I was quite proud of myself for remembering remotely to lock when leaving the Cadillac loaner I had when getting the titanium underbelly installed. Came back to discover I'd left the engine running. As to issues with my March '14 car, now with >7000 miles, I had a minor problem with the pano...

Doctor draftee, served in Vietnam.

Same experience: a few drenching rains, no issues. I have the Michelin Primacy 19" tires.

I thought it odd that there were no comments so I, too, left a respectful one, about acceleration and range. It's still not posted. Same with another commenter in this thread. Interesting.

As others have said, I'd want to see the new gray in the flesh. To me, at the moment there are about four shades of black; ie, the current green and blue, except in direct sunlight (at which point they look great!), are pretty much black. If the new gray is still light enough to be distinguished...

There's the I 205 bypass around Portland, but it adds miles and the traffic is often about the same during commute hours. You could check on the nav if you have real-time traffic. If it were me, I think I'd charge in Woodburn and continue to Portland for the night. There are several decent...

These replies are very helpful. Thanks!!

Looking at previous threads, most of which are somewhat elderly, I infer there's not a lot of good charging options for those who might venture off I-5 in Northern CA. I note the Benbow Inn has a picture of a Tesla charging; I've emailed them to find if it's possible to reserve a spot along with...

Another old retired Seattle area guy here. I feel the same way. I hadn't driven for a couple of days for various reasons, and got to the point I couldn't stand it anymore. Took it out for a ride and immediately felt the same pleasure you described, yet again. It's better (maybe not cheaper, but...

Every once in a while I start to regret not getting the P; then I remind myself that the difference in acceleration from, say 50 mph to whatever, between the P and the "regular" is noticeable only on a very accurately handled stopwatch. I remind myself I'm within sight of 70 years old and don't...

Mine was doing something similar, but closing much closer to fully. Since it was intermittent, the service center had a hard time figuring it out till I kept it that way and took it in. Eventually they replaced the glass, the seals, and one of the two motors driving the roof. It's been fine...

I look forward to if/when an update offers the "don't ask again" option. I get the message every morning. Compared to other things in life, it's a very minor annoyance, but still... My problem is that my home wifi isn't very powerful in the garage. The car detects it, but when I try to "join"...
