So you do not think that we will se a model X in Europe before 2016? I do think they will show up long before 2016 here in EU and Norway, Elon has stated that they will be in Norway around summer next year, so why not a Model X in stores in jan. 2015? /Martin

Latest roumor here in Denmark. A Tesla rep, has told a danish (female) customer that we should begin to see the Models X in stores here in Denmark around January, anyone heard something like this? /Martin

I lost my upgrade button on my EU model to day. Seems like all the EU Sigs has been reserved by now. /Martin

@sigurdi: I have just read your post at the Norwegian forum, I now know what happens when you push it and then regrets ;-) /Martin

I still have the upgrade button. It is not gone yet. /Martin

@sigurdi: I have no plans on upgrading to a Sig so still one spot left :-) /Martin

I still have the option to upgrade to Sig on the EU Model X we have reserved, so no change there. /Martin

Feel free to read through the EU legislation on this: http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/sectors/automotive/rmi/index_en.htm

And it look to me, that most of the news agencies are ripping off their stories from threads of this forum...

Sorry, I had to google this guy since I had never heard of him and could not remember a F1 driver with that name. So it seams he was a mechanic in F1 back in 2009... But nice review though.

I did something similar in my wife ML W164 the other day. (I usually never drives her car) When I got home, left the car and went into the house, where my wife asked why the cars engine was still running outside... I had simply left the car running and walked in without thinking about turning...

The are more than one reason why Q7 outsells the A8, but I can imagine that fact that the price tag of the A8 starts at 77.000 USD and the Q7 starts at 47.000 USD. So if the X will be 20-30.000 USD cheaper than the S, I can imagine it, will outsell the S with the same margin. But I can not...

Strange, in Denmark you are allowed to tow 7700 LBS in your Q7 But to be honest, my needs for towing capacity does not exceed 2000 LBS...

I am a little curious, here in our family the Model X will replace my wife's Mercedes ML as our secondary car, is this the case with most of you as well? Btw, Elon said at the Shareholders Meeting, that the Model X would be more "female friendly" and designed more to women daily use, what are...

Bonnie: Exactly my point when i said that "Tesla could argue that, the persons being disallowed from buying parts are non professionals not clearly educated in repairing cars" EU does not have requirements for certifications to work on a specific car, they are more requirements to the automaker...

I guess they are present in Tilburg Holland where they are assembling the Teslas to avoid import duties. So they must be present at least in Holland and as well in the rest of EU.

Hmm, without being 100% sure, this might be against EU anti trust laws (EUT L 129 from 28.5.2010 ) keeping independent repair shops out of the Tesla repair market. Tesla could argue that, the persons being disallowed from buying parts are non professionals not clearly educated in repairing cars.

Yup, the plug is different, Tesla is using a proprietary Type2 plug at the superchargers. But also the "home" chargers are different. In Europe we have 3 phase 400 Volts for charging. So the US will not be able to charge unless the charging and prorably some software has to been changed as well.

cairnz: This image is the same when you use the regenerative brake, that will also give you a negative graph.

Could the use of a hpone to start the car be the first step to get rid of the key forb in the first place. A BT connection betveen the Tesla and the iPhone could just as easily make it for the keyforb. You could pair it using username/password and some kind of secure validation of the phone...

axryp: I noticed that there should be something that could slide, I have now tried with some really powerful magnets, but they are nowhere to be found inside... I guess it should be possible to get a couple of new ones from Tesla or make some new ones myself.

Hi. I have removed the rear child seats in order to sound isolate underneath to remove some of the sound from the drive train and wind noise. To remove the rear seats you only have to remove to bolts and you can remove the seats. But today when I was going to reinstall the seats I noticed that...

@Mario: The location tab shows the speed in miles in version 0.28.0.1 It looks like that VisibleTesla shows the KW indicator when adding charge via DC the same way as when driving and regenerating power: The above graphs is from today when travelling from one Supercharger to another and...

I just noticed, is it correct that all speeds are shown i miles? For us europeans miles are only used in the UK, not the rest of Europe. Would it be possible to have a preference settings that adjusted for miles vs. km.?

To me, as a driver with 10+ years of experience of only driving Mercedes and used to the stalks in various MB's getting into a Tesla Model S was like, ok, I know these stalks and do not have to focus on the main thing: driving. I can focus on learning all the other aspects of the Tesla. Another...

I would not expect the front to be chanced from the prototype. The front is the mark for a Tesla, and like many others I like that too..!

Hi. I am not sure if this has been addressed, but I noticed when on a SuperCharger there is a minus sign in front of the KW, this sign is not there when using my normal charger at home: And from the graph:

But could easily mean that we will see the deliveries being on track for summer 2015.

Remember that many car makers use the spy shots as part of their marketing campaign to build up the fuss about their new model, Tesla does not need to do this on their models, since it has already been build by the potential buyers them selves :-) So there is basically no need to show the car...

Unfortunately english is only my third language after Danish and German, so can you please point out what the error is? I looked at Use gets in a Sentence With gets Sentence Examples but did not completely understood why the word "gets" is wrong in the sentence?

Funny, when i use my localized danish version of teslamotors.com i get an estimated delivery for summer 2015, changing this to the US version it says fall 2015, looks like we in EU gets our first, or someone did not know how to change anything but the english language version ;-)

Instead of front parking sensors, maybe they took the idea from this forum where some installed a front view camera and used that instead of the sensors?

It look like the X has normal side mirrors in the picture with the I3? I just had a short view of episode 2: Look at the headrest, the shaping of the seats looks like Tesla, but the headrest looks adjustable?

Yup, seeam to be working again, including after the change of password.

Hi. Same problem here, could connect via VisibleTesla last night, but today no luck on both VisibleTesla and to different Iphones. Changed my password, and can login at teslamotors.com but get a username/password error on both VisibleTesla and iPhone. /Martin

Same here, has tested with the new test version which works. I have as well Supercharger = False with my S85. But can not test since there is no supercharger in Denmark and the nearest is probably 600km from here... /Martin

I would not think it is the password I have shortened my password to just 7 letters and numbers, no special characters. And still no luck in logging in. /Martin

Hi. Great test, I have not tried curl this way before. thanks for the short guide :-) I can list my car as well, but seing the same as you when I tries to log in via VisibleTesla. /Martin

Same here regarding the login issue. I have no special chars in my login either. /Martin

Hi. I have the exact same problem, when i enter the e-mail-addrese and password the little circle circles for a few seconds and then returns to the login screen with no error messages. I have tried to enter wrong user and pass and that does indeed give me an error message. I have tried on...

Hi. I ma certain that the votes from Denmark will go to the Skoda or some other really small forgetable car that none remembers next year. This would just be so typically danish motor journalists. BTW the Mercedes S-class is a 300.00 USD car in Denmark, the Tesla model S would be priced very...

The rules in Denmark does not state anything regarding the lumens, it clearly just states that if it is a gas lamp "gasudladningslampe " it needs to have the headlight cleaning system. No matter have many lumens the lamp gives. I was told that the new Mercedes E-class uses a kind of LED light...

Hi Same rules regarding headlight cleaning applies to Denmark. /Martin

Hi. I am sorry but I just can not see the business case. They say on that website that you will save around 900 DKK per year with government incentives. But you are paying around 8.500 DKK up front, that means there is a ROI of 9.5 years, and that is only if the government incentive continues...

Hi What benefits will I get for spending roughly around 1000 USD for the charger, instead of just 25 USD for the 3 phase 16A wall plug, they will both charge the car at 11Kw? Just had a brief look at the Tesla webstore, looks like the additionally 11Kw second charger can be added to the car as...

In denmark, we have a company called clever.dk with them you pay a startup fee at 2475 USD and a monthly fee at around 60 USD for the box, (You will ofcourse still pay for each kw/h you charge)...And that was for the 11Kw charger, the 22kw is a bit more expensive. This is why I was recommended...

Hi. I placed my order yesterday for an 85Kwh Model S with the following packages: Tech Package Smart Air Suspension Parking Sensors Rear facing Seats Metalic Silver All Glass Panoramic Roof Standard Leather Expected delivery, sometimes in April 2014... Actually my biggest concern was the...
