I have a 2012 P85 which is running great—but the low price of the Model S is very tempting. I’d sure like autopilot, a new warranty, new seats and back in the HOV lane. I’d be giving up my large frunk—which I really like and free Super Charging. Even my wife is in favor of getting the new S but...

Nevemind. I saw other posts on this topic: Interior color other than black availability??

Do we know if initial Model 3 orders are limited to black interior?

What was the 0 to 100 time?

What I'm wondering about is the possibility of something cool down the line if I go with Solar City. Something which is only possible because of their relationship with Tesla. Otherwise, I'd like to go with SunPower.

I'd like to finally get solar panels for our house and need to decide on who to go with. After a number of quotes I liked SunPower the most--mainly because of the quality of their panels. My conversations with Solar City did not wow me with confidence, but now that I'm about to go forward I...

I'm looking for a video which contains a bit where Elon explains how batteries for hybrid are different from batteries for pure EV cars. Its just a short segment in middle of a video I believe.

Easy, my wife named it "Sheila" (the other woman).

I'm still waiting the option where the top of the map shows the relative direction the cars going rather than north is always up. Extra credit would place the current location in the bottom third allowing the top two thirds to show what's ahead.

I think range anxiety is different for Model S owners than for the reporters who are writing about them. Owners have enough "stick time" with the car to know what its capable of. A reporter is new to the whole thing and is reporting from a position of lack of experience--a perfect place for...

Make sure your mobile charging cable is working. Mine stopped working the day I got my car.

I was playing with the TMC test wiki and could not figure out how to create a new page which I could link from the test page. There is a way to link to a page, but not a clear way to create a new sub page.

I think what's needed is not a "Manual" but instead a Tips section of the wiki. This section would be populated with the results of threads once a course of action/consensus has been determined. This way, there is an easier way to locate the final "tip". Since this is a wiki--just a series of...

How do we add a new sub page? I see how to create a new topic at the root of the wiki, but not how to create a new sub-page.

13)Allstays Camp and RV I just downloaded the Allstays Camp and RV app and was able to filter by "50 Amp" which provided me with a good start for planning my first road trip. Naturally, I want to go from San Jose to Santa Barbara and only have one Supercharger on the route--and its 30 miles from...
