    Wait time for new X is >1 year, but lease is coming up...

    I originally was going to replace my Bolt EV with the Model S refresh, but I'll be honest I don't like this no button mentality. After a year of hemming and hawing about it I have an e-tron S on the way. We will replace the X with a Rivian R1S to follow the next year. I tried out the...

    2021 Holiday Update - GARBAGE!

    wish they'd have legacies this last v11 update. It's total *sugar* and I'm not real happy at how badly they screwed the interaction. Moving the heated seat buttons in the dead of winter I've rarely been this disappointed with an update but that entire menu bar is crap now.

    There were Raven 'Standard' Ranges from June to August. I got a six seater version that still has the center console.

    Has you driven with falcon wing doors open and had an accident?

    man it gets mad at me in the driveway if I open a door to let a kid out while not in park, can't imagine driving like that, it screams like crazy at me.

    Supercharger - Lexington, KY

    Does anyone know why this does not show up on A Better Route Planner or Plugshare as an option? If you search for them, you find them, but if you use the route planner for either website it ignores this one, and a number in WV. It makes my trip longer to go the route it wants and it makes no...

    Why Lease a car?

    prior to 2018, for me it was about taxes, and the fact I was paid an allowance and had to keep a car around that was <4 years old and had four doors to get that allowance. After the 'tax cuts' of 2018 all my deductions for that disappeared, so now it makes no sense unless I want more car for...

    What's your predicted loyalty to Tesla whenever replacing current car?

    Unlike most folks who own Tesla it was my third EV. My first was a Bolt, then I got a used Fiat 500E for the teenagers, and finally swung getting the X to replace the Expedition. My Bolt lease was up, and we gave it back this month. So Soon(tm) I need another car. Unlike a lot of folks, I...

    Getting In/Out Model S for Large Folks

    I hope so. i mean i get i'm overweight, but even after playing with the seat for quite some time i was unable to make it better. I did fix whatever had me banging my head against the roofline/moon roof seam, so I did find something. Hopefully the sales center might get a demo unit and I...

    Getting In/Out Model S for Large Folks

    so i got a few minutes, and had my wife try. She's 5'4 and had problems so I'm guessing there is a seat setting I'm missing, i'll play around some more. I figured if I could get in/out of my A5 no problem this shouldn't be an issue.

    Getting In/Out Model S for Large Folks

    I ordered the new version of the Model S to replace a car, without ever having been in an S. We currently have a 2019 X (Raven) Today, unrelated my X needed a low voltage thingamajig replaced and they gave me a 2016 90D S. Uhm, I'm having fun getting in/out of the car. I am not a tall...

    Raleigh-Durham NC - good place to get tires ?

    I used Discount Tire in Wake Forest when I hit a nail and destroyed a tire at 1100 miles. Didn't need to bring jack pads, they were familiar with what they needed to do. was best price in the area (north raleigh) for the OEM tire at the time. I've used them before for non-EV cars for at...

    FYI, Durham has one being installed now (see: Supercharger - Durham NC for location/photos) Also, to my surprise Charleston is finally getting one. looks like it's having some issues with power delivery to half of them, but there are some now (Supercharger - Charleston, SC) in case doing a...
