I have the cold weather package with the heated wires for the wipers.

"(apparently)" is exactly right. Like mine, yours probably wasn't subjected to any air borne object, other than cold air molecules. I believe that these windshields are cracking as a result of the thin strands of wire that run through them as part of the heating of the windshield. This...

I believe this is the problem. I have almost the same condition as the original poster. And when I asked Tesla to cover the windshield under warranty, they would not. I believe that when the glass expands and contracts when exposed to extreme temperatures, as I experienced with my car where...

I would certainly not entitle your thread with the word "rant". You have a legitimate complaint. And the way Tesla has handled the pricing changes on the options is a mess. No one likes to feel as if they overpaid for the exact same features and options for a car within a relatively short...

The Original Poster (OP) is probably a little too combative. No one forced him to buy from Tesla. It's a free market. There are other cars to purchase, maybe not as nice an all electric as Tesla's, but there are other choices. Given that, I think Tesla may want to take the high road and...

A number of aspects in this thread are a little disconcerting. Although the lemon vehicle claimant may have be in an unfortunate position, and might have pursued the matter differently, I think the golden rule can apply here. Would one of the major principals of Tesla Motors accept a car...

Did they have a map showing all the current and planned superchargers?

Hehe. That gave me a good chuckle.

Statistics are all well and good, and will probably indicate in a weighted manner that the Model S is by a measure more safe than an ICE when the car is subject to a fire situation. However, what Tesla needs to address, through some type of simplified communication strategy, is the public...

A good attorney would recognize that the law doesn't actually apply to electric cars as it appears in this case. Unless it is specifically stated that electricity is considered a fuel, under the rules of statutory language, it would not apply. The proposed language for amending that...

I agree. Having an open front area below the dash and between the seats "opens" up the whole front seating area of the front cabin, which not only gives the impression of more spaciousness, but actually provides it. This is a very well designed car.

Nice article. Balanced and as objective as one might be. And it was well written.

In Peter Rawlinson's introduction at the auto show, he specifically mentions "air suspension" at approximately 9:24 in the video: http://www.mlive.com/naias/index.ssf/2011/01/with_video_an_inside_look_lite.html

That's a really nice looking truck. I've always liked FedEx as a company.

I don't think the divorce proceedings are going to have any significant effect on TM. It is quite hard to overturn a post-nuptial agreement, even in California, which since the 70's recognizes their legality. Although it might be in some way possible to invalidate it, it is an uphill battle.
