Only the most major stuff that you would actually refuse delivery for should be worried about although if you live far away from the SC it might be worth having them fix minor issues while you're there. It took me a while to see the glass imperfections in the windshield on our first S but...

I've driven 55 with two surfboards but only went 35 with the 14 ft kayaking. No issues though with either. I don't know any specs for the glass roof. For what it's worth best thing about it is how quickly and easily it mounts, I can get to where I'm surfing, take off the surfboards, take off...

I like the SeaSucker a lot - works well on the glass roof. I've even transported a 14' kayak on the paddleboard model.

Urban Myth 40 Little-Known Uses for WD-40 and Other Urban Legends.

I got mine mid-june I sure hope I can get an upgrade!

That is perfect - I can't count the number of times I've parked at the far reaches of a parking lot, only to come back and find my car has attracted other cars like it was some sort of huge magnet.

I finally put my rental in VRBO, and it's starting to fill up for the holidays, but most weekends are still available. Feel free to contact me directly to book if you'd like to avoid VRBO service fees. Nature Lovers Wanted! Soundfront, Solar Po... - VRBO

My wife, a complete non "car" person, even remarked on how fast my 100D is today after she borrowed it because she "forgot" to charge her 75. It makes me want to hit red lights, so long as I'm in front. I LOVE silently leaving everyone behind!

I found that my car had somehow switched off auto locking. Switched it back on, everything is fine.

100' heavy gauge extension cord and the mobile charger, plus the tow hook.

I'm 6'7" and we have both, and I definitely prefer the all glass roof. Only downside is the reflection from the ultra white seats.

I have found our Model S open in the garage - I thought I'd left my key in it, but did not. Now I'm checking the app to make sure it's locked.

I've had to hit the "learn" button on the garage door opener when ours seemed to forget. I wish Tesla would up the transmitter power - I have to be within 5 feet of the door for it to work reliably at our house.

My point is to enable car to home power, you'd have to give up local unlimited supercharging. Seems like a fair trade off. But it's only one of several possible solutions. Yes, people can be very inefficient when trying to save a few pennies. But that behaviour is easily countered by...

Using a $100K car to shuttle $10 of power from a supercharger to a house doesn't seem... efficient. I can't imagine it'd be a problem at scale, and if it were, enabling car to home power could come with caveats to eliminate the problem. Make users agree to limit supercharging at the same...

Just thought I'd note that the system did very well yesterday on a long curvy drive to the northern beaches on a two lane road - it started drifting a couple of times to the center, but for the first time, quickly corrected itself. I wonder if there is some sort of learning going on? I find it...

I noticed yesterday on 17.38 that autosteer really seems to prefer white lines, so much so that it will dive across a two lane road if it loses the center double yellow to go for the white line on the other side, or at least try to stay in the middle of the two outside fog lines. Definitely...

I have the UW seats in our 100D, and tan leather in our 75. The UW is much more stain resistant. Two dogs and an 8 year old who likes Cheetos have proven the durability to me. The stitching will stain though, and they are also very reflective in the Full Glass Roof.

Dear Tesla, Can you make a heavy Model S P100D on short notice? Maybe put an extra battery pack in there somewhere? Thanks! -Model S fan who still wants a big deduction

I've never been impressed by Dyson products, they seem overly complex and expensive compared to the competition, and somewhat gimmicky. Kind of like the Falcon Wing Doors... :rolleyes::D

I can't answer the first two, but the supercharging on a good charger will stay at 116kW until the SOC reaches 50% at least, then a slow taper. You'll notice a difference in the handling as well - it took me a while to get used to the torque steer, but I love the faster acceleration.

I just sprayed the bottom of our S75 with permethrin after some ants took up residence. Problem solved.

Glad to see I'm not the only one. I've been using the phone workaround, but why is it so hard for Tesla to play podcasts?

They need to remove the accelerator pedal in all cars immediately! Someone may press it, and the car will become a DANGEROUS 5000 LB MISSILE! :rolleyes:

My suggestion is to go for the sunroof if you want a white interior - all I can see in the full glass roof is reflections of my seats because it's so dark.

With my 100D, 74 seems to be the sweet spot as well. Anything above quickly drops range below rated, anything below doesn't seem that much more efficient, especially if I draft with regular traffic.

I carry a small lithium ion jump starter in case someone needs a jump. They are only $70 bucks or so, and come in handy for keeping cell phones and computers going too.

The convenience of the HPWC with a 24' cable cannot be overstated, but I think it can easily be run at a lower amperage that will stay within your existing capacity, and lower the cost of the line to the garage. As long as it finishes charging the car over night, you'll never need more. We...

I'd really like to drive the 75 with the added power - it took me a while to get used to the AWD feeling in our 100D. The steering is much more pure on our 75, just wish it was faster.

The Ultra White is great, but the stitching will still stain. Source - let my kid eat Cheetos in the front seat.

As you can see from my profile picture we have two white ones, a 75 and a 100D. We didn't want to stand out too much in our small beach town, and it's working, as most people are amazed when they see our garage holds two, not one. Just be sure to get the 24" cable on the Wall Charger. My wife...

I think we have reached a "tipping point" where EV interest should start to accelerate. What you are feeling is the result of the positive press of late, but there may be some bias from self selection as we enthusiasts tend to read the most positive articles as well. The general public is...

Thanks for doing all the recon! If we ever have to take 460 instead of 64 on our way to the mountains, that's a much better location than Glen Allen for us.

Good electricians make about $100 an hour here. I'm a licensed General Contractor, and I'd be shocked ;) if you could get a 50 ft run of 50 amp for anything less than $500. The point I'm trying to make is there are not enough Tesla owners to make a dent in anyone's inseason income - those...

$40 a week is more than fair, but it's not enough to incentivise owners to add them. You might get one Tesla booking a summer if you're lucky, and it'd take a long while to pay back the cost of install. I'm betting the Super Charger in Point Harbor will make it a moot point - as a Tesla and EV...

I guess what I'm trying to say is you'd have to incentivize owners to go through the hassle of adding a circuit and offering the extra electricity. Adding a hot tub to a home should bring more income than it costs for example. The main problem is that they couldn't really charge anything extra...

Using an electrician, it's be $500+ to add a circuit, maybe as much as $1000 depending on the distance needed. Homeowners like myself need offseason rentals to justify it - we really don't worry too much about renting our homes during the high season, as they generally book solid each year...

The best location would be the Southern Shores Crossing shopping center, or the Southern Shores Food Lion shopping center; not much to do on the other side of the bridge. I guess the Indian restaurant there is okay and there are a couple of small stores, but they should move it up to Grandy or...

It's actually ready now to stay in I just don't have everything done. It only has internet, no TV service yet, and I have to buy a grill and some porch furniture. I'm willing to give a discounted rate to Tesla owners, especially those willing to leave a review on the Facebook page. I'm...

For anyone who'd like to rent an OBX home with a Tesla Charger, our rental house is almost ready Otter Creek Rental House DJI_0083 by OBX John posted Sep 11, 2017 at 4:37 PM Rates start at $100 a night for the offseason for anyone who "likes" the Facebook page.

Awesome! We'll be heading to the mountains this week, perfect timing.

Doesn't using the car as a stationary power source void the warranty? I think it's crazy we don't have a nice 15 amp 120 volt Outlet standard though.

You summed it up... perfectly. :D

You nailed it. It's not an echo chamber at all, it's actually much easier to hear other viewpoints when not wading through the snippyness. I agree with the other posters points about the ignore function not improving the tone overall, unless we can get those who like to go back and forth...

Obx Tesla Owners

How can you tell when a Tesla owner is driving an ICE? They leave it unlocked, still running, and back into the gas pump like this woman!

Yes, the knowledge factor here at TMC is off the charts compared with Reddit or other forums. I think part of my problem is I usually look at the "new posts" feed here, and since the people arguing often keep those threads very active, I see a disproportionate number of threads that have...

I have a collapsible bucket I fill with basic tools like my impact driver, hammer, utility knife, pliers, screw & bit assortment, duct tape, No Rinse Wash, and microfiber towels. My tools and duct tape came in really handy when I ran over some aluminum road debris that cut part of the wheel...

It was nice to see a respectful back and forth on this thread! Well done. I need to give TMC another chance, but with much more liberal use of the ignore feature for the few who can't help themselves.
