I'm going to be setting up at an event this weekend where I would like to display photos on a TV, but there will be no power source nearby, other than my Model S. If I plug an inverter into the accessory outlet, is that being powered by the 12v battery or by my 85kw battery? Thanks!

"Before the end of Q2" is worthless if the tax credit is eliminated.

Thank you, Max. That was very helpful and took me to exactly the information I needed.

My apologies upfront as I'm sure there are numerous threads about this, but I've been away from the forum for a while hand am having difficulty remembering how to search topics. My windshield is cracked on my Gen 1 Autopilot Model S. I called Tesla and they said they could replace it for...

Has anyone heard anything new on the status of TuneIn Premium for our cars? When I think of how many audio books I could "read" during my 45k miles/yr... wow!

I find it very interesting that some of us get zero "hold the steering wheel" commands. I commute 190 miles daily from south of Monterey to the Bay Area. In the past I could drive just about the entire distance holding the wheel lightly, or at times not at all, without being prompted to hold...

The Model III was never going to have free supercharging and I never understood why anyone assumed they would. I am extremely pleased that it's going to be "pay as you go" instead of a $2,000 up front fee for Supercharging as was the case with the original 60kwh Model S. Unless you're using...

It's more about really loving my wife and living where she's happy. I've owned a business in the bay area for 37 years so getting a job closer to home isn't really an option, either. I also love coming home to where we live every day and making the drive in a Tesla is pretty much as green as...

Cost savings definitely factor in, but for me it's more about reducing my carbon footprint. It's hard to reconcile making my living selling bicycles (which in many cases people buy for green transportation) and spewing exhaust while driving 190 miles/day. So I bought a Model S and installed...

I have a 190 mile daily commute, so obviously it's absolutely required that I plug in when I get home every night. It's pretty much automatic, but on at least one occasion in the last year I was distracted by something when exiting my car and realized in the morning I wasn't plugged in leaving...

If you have 73,000 miles on the car and would have been responsible for half of this repair, or even the full repair, that would still have been less money than the cost of the ESA. Your decision will only be "foolish in hindsight" if your total cost for repairs which would have been covered by...

Unclear as to your meaning. You asked if the employee was sure they didn't have any new colors in the back to be put out at the end of the night and "He said 'no'". What you wrote means that he wasn't sure. Or do you mean that he meant, "no, we don't have any new colors in the back?"

Not likely for two reasons. First, that would be a major redesign/rework of the body. Second, that would eliminate the possibility of opening the roof. No panoramic roof if a fixed windshield is in it's place.

We have known it was going to: Be announced - Yes Look awesome - Yes Be reserved in large numbers - Yes Have over 100,000 deposits placed in the hours before the reveal and then another 150,000 over the next two days? If someone predicted that, I missed it.

I was fitting a bike to a customer who had just purchased it on Saturday. While I was making adjustments to the bike I said "if only I could sell as many bikes this weekend as the orders Tesla just took for the Model 3." That started a Q&A which resulted in her pulling out her phone and...
