    Huper Optik install by Glistening Perfection

    I will admit, that I’ve done my share of lurking around TMC – all of which was to look at real world comments, reviews, and thoughts from real owners. I’ve had my Sig for almost a year now and have long contemplated whether I wanted to tint my windows. I’ve loved the white car/tinted windows...

    Fines for ICE vehicles in EV charging spots!! There is hope!

    Mods: Not sure if this is the right place - but considering I spend the most time in this subforum I started the topic here. About time! How do we get CA to pass something along the same lines?! Maybe some Tow verbiage too...

    Car Care: Controlled experiment - test gloss and durability of the top paint finishes

    First off, I’d like to thank Artsci for taking the time to do these product comparisons! It’s very helpful to have an evaluation without the mfg/supplier hype. I’ve had my S for almost 6 months now and have been fortunate to get a CR Spotless water treatment system that allowed me to not have...

    Phone App: iPhone/Android app

    I think somebody else mentioned it - but I'd also like to see the programmable timer implemented soon (whether via app or in vehicle). Just so I can plug the car in and forget about it at night and let it do its thing at predetermined start/stop times. One thing I'd like to see as maybe a...

    Phone App: Model S iPhone/Android mobile phone app

    When I installed my app (while sitting at Barstow SC tonight) mine said 75F. Which should be very close to the right temp considering I had the AC set to 74 the entire way from Vegas to Barstow. Maybe a little warmer from body heat inside the car while charging.

    Phone App: Model S iPhone/Android mobile phone app

    So happy it's finally here! I was hoping to have it while I was in Vegas (so I can keep an eye on valet). Oh well. Sitting at the Barstow Supercharger right now and just installed/played with the app!

    Car Care: What is the best way to dry car after a wash?

    Don't touch it at all after rinse: http://www.crspotless.com/ I was skeptical at first - use it a few times and you'll believe!! I think the hardest part was having faith and not touch the car after rinsing it off.

    Torque Steer?

    I'm going to throw this out there, knowing that I haven't done certain checks yet that I figured I would do, but has anybody else noticed a significant amount of torque steer after 4.x update? In particular - I've noticed that when I'm at speed (say 40mph+), when I accelerate past 40 kW...

    Squeaking Brakes

    Well, I've driven about 1000 mi since I started the thread - and still have the same issues. I've done the accelerate/hard brake at various speeds, it would stop squeaking for a bit, but then start up again. I guess it's just the nature of the beast. I'll probably end up looking into some...

    Squeaking Brakes

    Thanks for the input so far – I’m glad to see that I’m not alone on the issue. I’ll try to do some hard stops to clean up the pads/rotors. I’ve read about that before, but was reluctant to do so as my gut reaction is to not have to do anything like that unless I’m faced with some emergency...

    Squeaking Brakes

    I’ve had my Performance S since October and immediately got acquainted with using regen brakes when coming up to a light. More often than not, you’ll eventually have to use the brakes to come to that complete stop (more so with “creep” on). In that last 1 mph before coming to a complete stop –...

    Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

    Today was a little weird. I daily drive the car since I've gotten the car (Oct) and even made some trips with it - and today was the first day I heard a hum towards the back of the car. "When did the S get a muffler?" The only time I hear it is at highway speed though (60mph+). I'm curious as to...

    Model S Software/Firmware wishlist

    Nothing fancy for my list: Allow for mirror tilting in reverse (no longer works with 4.x update) Allow for the last music station/device to continue playing when you come back to the car (no longer works either with 4.x update – probably has something to do with the sleep mode)...

    Model S Software/Firmware wishlist

    I’ll keep my list simple: Un-sync temperature when passenger setting is changed With 4.0 – music no longer continues with the station I left it on when I leave the car (I think it has something to do with the car going into sleep mode) – I have to choose what I want to listen to every...

    Will after market mats be necessary or will the Tesla mats be up to snuff?

    Yay! My first post on TMC - No more lurking! I ordered a set of Lloyd - Ultimat for the cabin area and a set of Lloyd - Classic Loops for the Frunk/Trunk (for a little durability - without rubberizing). I tried to get creative and put a standard red band around the mats for the inside cabin...
