    Thoughts on running a "square" setup on a P100D

    looking for some advice after a misunderstanding on aftermarket wheels. I purchased aftermarket wheels for our MX understanding they would match the stock 22" setup. 10" rear and 9" front with factory offsets which are different front and rear. What I received were 4 10" wheels with the same...

    Exterior Color - Percent by Color?

    Is anyone aware of any data showing the number or percent of MX by body color? Curious about the most popular through least popular.

    Poll - how many multiple Tesla Owners?

    Just curious about the number of owners who have multiple Tesla vehicles and the combinations of said vehicles.

    Lifetime Supercharging Extended for orders through January 15

    Not really surprised. Must not have gotten the number of orders they expected.

    C-Net Article, "Dear California ja.."

    'Dear California jackhole...': Tesla driver publicly shamed for parking across three Supercharger spots - Roadshow Did anyone catch this article published today? Maybe I am just too nice but sure seems to me (right or wrong) that this driver did the only they could do while on a road trip to...

    Ludicrous killed my Wh/mi

    2 weeks ago our P85D got the Ludicous upgrade. Holy cow, it's so much more fun than Insane Mode and has made driving it feel like it's brand new again. We were running in the 320 range for months, now it's in the 400s. But that's ok. It'll come back down later on, but for now we are having a...

    Is Regen Braking different on a D vs. non D Model?

    Our Tesla is at the SC for the Ludicrous upgrade so we have an older P85 as a loaner. I've noticed that the regen seems to be much less 'powerful' compared to our P85D. When I let off the accelerator in our car you really feel the regen kick in but I don't get the same feeling on the loaner...

    Splitting Pennies -

    We have had our Model S for 7 months now and I decided to take a simplistic look at energy cost for those 7 months: Total Miles: 4,597.5 Total kWh: 1,703.8 Wh/mi: 371 Cost per kWh: 11.6 cents Total Cost: $146.87 or 3.19 cents per mile Now, last week I decided to adjust my driving...

    Fairly Major Issues this morning....

    This is the first 'real issue' we have faced with our Tesla. This morning I pulled out of the garage as normal at 7am. First thing I notice is that I can't close the garage, so I get out and close it with the keypad on the outside of the garage and proceed to drive to work. My wife calls me a...

    How often do you have to reset by holding both scroll wheels?

    It seems like once a week my car loses its connectivity and I have to reset things so that i have my Slacker Radio and/or navigation. Sometimes several times a week. Is it just a poor signal or is the interface Microsoft esque?

    Easiest Car to wash, ever?

    Out of all the cars I've ever owned the Model S sure seems like the easiest to wash and wax out of all of them. It just doesn't seem to take very long to wash it and then to wax it. Maybe it's the shape, how the design flows. Even the cyclone wheels are easy to clean, rarely have any brake...

    Auto Pilot - Cruise Control

    I finally decided to try out the auto pilot today, less traffic than during the week. Anyhow, here are my observations: It's pretty darn cool without a doubt. I will admit I was a little nervous as the traffic light ahead turned red and traffic began to slow and stop, but as advertised the...

    Question - Tesla Earnings and Expectations

    With the next earnings call set for after the market closes tomorrow I've been reading many of the articles that are out there. It seems the consensus is that investors are more interested in hearing the delivery numbers vs. actual financials so to speak. With that here is my question. Can...

    Wind Noise -

    Anyone else experiencing high wind noise in their Model S? I picked up my speed this weekend to pass some slow moving traffic and the wind noise was so bad I thought I accidentally rolled my windows down.

    Range Mode - Insane Mode: To Be or Not to Be

    This morning I decided to try something a little different on my commute to work. Normally I leave my car in Insane Mode with Range Mode Off. I figured if I just drive normally what difference would it make? The answer ended up being, quite a bit! My guess is that the difference really is...

    85D Loaner vs. P85D

    I dropped off my P85D yesterday for a minor paint blemish and was given an 85D as a loaner. I wasn't really expecting a noticeable difference in driving dynamics under 'normal driving' (i.e. not in Insane Mode). I was definitely wrong about that. The responsiveness of the 85D wasn't anywhere...

    Article in the Wash Examiner Electric cars may be worse for the environment than gas"

    New study: Electric cars may be worse for the environment than gas-powered | WashingtonExaminer.com! I guess I'd like to see the full study to understand all the factors they took into account. I fully understand that electricity is generated in many different fashions across the country, coal...

    Delivered -

    We took delivery of our Model S today, what a great day. Probably the only time I didn't notice any traffic delays and wasn't in any hurry to get home; could have driven all day and all night!!!

    Wall Connector Installed Today

    With our MS P85D in route to South Florida we had our Wall Connector installed today. When we checked with the Tesla store they just refer customers to the Home Depot, so we instead went with the Electrician who did all the work for our pool and landscape lighting. Couldn't be happier, for the...
