I really miss the original S with the little cubbyhole in the glove box for the J1772 adapter. For those folks who use their adapter often, where do you stash it in your Model 3? I'm trying to find a spot that's out of the way, so it doesn't take up valuable space from something else easy to...

We had issues with collision warnings on curves as well, and we disabled the collision warning system. Unfortunately, TACC still treats these phantoms as cars in the road ahead and brakes to keep proper distance.

I've noticed that the handles are "more responsive" after 6.0, but in a very particular way: under 5.x, I had to wait until the handles were fully extended before I could pull on them. If I pulled before they had finished extending, they wouldn't register the tug. I'd have to release them, then...

Sleipnir. Means "slippery" in Old Norse; was the name of Odin's eight-legged horse ("the best of all horses"). Considering a plate that reads "LOKISON" :)

I'm also a 15OCT confirmation, but no offer to buy yet. It occurs to me that I did specify lacewood when I got on the wait list; it's possible they're considering that for purchase availability.

Whoops! It's here. Mods, feel free to drop this thread -- no need to merge, as I'm not adding anything new.

Snap-in rear window shade in the Tesla Shop ...but unfortunately, still "coming soon". Nice idea, though. Rear Liftgate Sunshade

Just today I used Microsoft MapPoint to plan a route from my home to Las Vegas (for a road trip to a conference this summer). I have a spreadsheet with the Supercharger addresses in it; I linked that sheet to the MapPoint map, and then added the superchargers to my route plan, setting each for a...

If you're driving 25K per year, you'll need to have service twice a year, whether you prepay or not. The service interval is 1 year or 12,500 miles, whichever comes first. The mileage interval is to catch mechanical items that wear with use, and the time interval is to prevent a seldom-driven...

RichardL, what software version do you have?

It'd be interesting to see how many folks with the tow hook (or even just the stowage area for it) actually have the receiver in the frame. There was some talk that the tow hook design was used for Euro-spec vehicles, and that US-spec vehicles *couldn't* use the tow hook (due to front-end crush...

Actually, in many cases, yes -- as long as they provided a HPWC -> J1772 adapter so I could still charge it at home. I'd much prefer a Model S, of course, but if they could supply their service centers with two Leafs for the cost of a Model S, and not be as likely to sell them out from under...

Given the recent discussion about peak demands and 200A service, I thought it might be useful to report my experience. I have 200A service into a nearly-full breaker panel (there was exactly one double-breaker space left before installing the HPWC). The house is equipped with a lot of electrical...

I have noticed that a 100% charge takes approximately half an hour longer than it seems like it should; the time-remaining display will sit at "1 minute" for about half an hour when the pack is at 100%. I had always assumed that this was the time during which any pack-balancing activity was...

After wading through all 105 pages of postings, I just realised that I actually have something to contribute to this thread. I've got a recent build, with a D-type battery. I've gotten ~120kW charging at Superchargers before, so I know my car is completely capable of it. Yet, at exactly the...
