So, I was doing my 2016 taxes and needed my VIN for the EV tax credit. So I logged into the My Tesla page to copy/paste the VIN. I was scrolling around on that page and notice that I have the option to purchase the 75 kWh battery upgrade for my 60D...for $7000! Last time I looked, the upgrade...

Wow...they're not even trying. "Engine replacement" "Fuel: Gas"

I have noticed that ~50% of the time when I get in my car, and it is set to a local FM radio station, the radio has to "search" to find the station. By "search," I mean that there are pauses and short bursts of static about 5 to 10 times (varies) before it acquires the station. This only...

I finally had a friend order a Tesla using my referral code. If anybody looking at this group is thinking of buying one before the end of the year, I would appreciate you using my code. The "perks" don't start until the code is used twice, and this may be my only chance to get more than 1 in a...

Here is my referral code. I have a friend that is planning on buying before the end of the year (to lock down free Supercharging), so if I can get 1 more person to use my code, I can be eligible for the lowest tier rewards. I don't have enough friends with enough money or interest in Tesla to...

I wasn't angry...just mildly annoyed. Pretty much, it just worried me that this may become a trend, in which case, I would be angry.

When I got in my S this morning, there was an ad on the center display asking me to upgrade to the 75 kWh battery. There was no offer of a discount (still $9,000 incl. tax). It also said "Adds 25% more range," which by Tesla's own numbers is BS. The 60D is listed at 218 miles and the 75D is...

I know it's still an option, but the banner headline for the Model S used to be "seats up to 7." Now that headline is "seats 5 adults."

I noticed on the main Tesla website that the Model S as listed as seating 5 adults, and the Model X is listed as seating 7 adults. I know that the S used to be advertised as seating "up to 7." Maybe they made the option more expensive to push people to the X if they needed seating for more than 5.

I would if I had a Twitter account. I'm a luddite.

My license plate finally came in...

I did not know that. I don't think it is related to the behavior I saw, but it is interesting nonetheless. There was literally nothing going on with my phone or my car that would have been sending an alert. The only reason I noticed it is that there was no music playing because the phone app...

Went for lunch today...6 minute drive, 3 reboots. I'm glad to see it isn't just my car glitching out, but holy hell, this problem is over 2 weeks old. They should have a fix for it by now, or at least know what caused it the first time around. I've noticed that 8.0 is a glitchy mess in...

There are two large-ish exits where I-69 and US-41 intersect I-64 near Evansville. Those would be good places for an SC.

The puddle lights look really cool when you open the door at night. I didn't notice the light with the factory bulbs installed, but with the AO lights installed, it lights up a pretty good chunk of ground. I think my favorite addition was the rear footwell lights, though. I don't have the...
