    Current gen vs. Sig

    You have the correct lights. There are no other lights available. Rear passengers can gently push the lens to activate the light for reading. I find that they provide sufficient lighting of the interior at night. I mainly drive at night.

    Gauging interest on "Redisigned Sun Visors"

    JC...Why does the VIN need to be so high? I believe mine are the same as the latest ones (Vin 3498). I'm grateful that I did not receive "funhouse" mirrors...I think all the sigs deserve a retrofit of the visors.

    Guts of the sound system?

    Huh??! Not even remotely sure what you are referring to... The door grills are attached by clips. Give a gentle pull from the bottom and work your way around and the whole grill comes off. The rear hatch is the same. The A-pillars and front grill along the bottom of the dash is...

    Options you wish you chose...but didn't

    Paint armor covers bumper, grill insert, partial hood (1/3), mirrors, small portion behind front wheels, small portion ahead of rear wheels, rear bumper. Additional coverage for the hood runs around $500-600 depending upon who you ask. ZC is absolutely right, though. If you can get a better...

    12 speakers, where are they?

    No speaker in the grill by rear view mirror. Only microphones x 2. On the sound studio package, the grill along base of windshield has 3 speakers, 2 at corners, and in in center of grill - center channel.

    Model S - HPWC (High Power Wall Connector)

    25' cable should reach in a standard 20' garage length. This should make it more than enough length to reach the charge port from the front of the garage, provided he parks the nose about a foot or so from the wall. There should be a bow in the cable run that touches the ground. Sent via...

    P85 Loaner Cars! Sweet!!

    Prospective service done on my 12V battery today. Got an S85 loaner in Costa Mesa. Noticed that off the line acceleration was a little slower than my P85, but acceleration from 45-75 was almost identical. Very impressed with the S85 power, overall, compared to the P85. Loaner was otherwise...

    What is Tesla's upcoming 'under your nose' announcement?

    Not trying to be argumentative deonb, but in CA, all ARCO stations I've ever visited use ATM either at the pump or a centrally located terminal and the fee is $0.35, not $3. Usually was always able to get in and out in under 7 minutes with premium unleaded, 15 gallons. Unfortunately I was...

    I wonder if this is a potential profit center for the service centers, since they are probably operating at a loss right now.

    $561.8 million in revenue.. WTF???

    Don't count the HPWC units as part of the vehicle income either. There could also be a million in income from those sales too.

    P85+ in the real world

    I would have to agree as well, although the trade off is that it rides more comfortably than the M5 ever did.

    The chromed bits on my S have the measles...

    Try Arrow Magnolia Aero Glaze. It should remove the oxidation or deposits or whatever they are. you just rub it on, scrub a bit (won't scratch anything), let it dry, then rub it off. Use a microfiber towel. I use it to polish the chrome bits on my Escalade Hybrid.... i mean uh ... my Yukon...

    Pulled Over By A State Trooper!

    In nearly all police and sheriff departments across the country, uniformed police are actively discouraged from driving or riding in privately-owned vehicles (POV). There are actually stern warnings if seen in a POV while in uniform, "with patches showing". There are multiple reasons for this...

    Pulled Over By A State Trooper!

    DUI traffic checkpoints are a special constitutional exemption to the 4th amendment (10 or so states do not accept the exemption and do not allow checkpoints), and the order is typically based upon evidence presented to a magistrate which demonstrates a high number of DUI offenders in a certain...

    Pulled Over By A State Trooper!

    Couldn't technically be prosecuted based upon lack of probable cause. In order for a police officer to initiate a traffic stop, there must be some sort of probable cause that raised suspicion of an ongoing criminal act. Missing front license plate, faulty safety equipment, window tint, failure...

    Pulled Over By A State Trooper!

    Is it any more abusive than if the boss came up and asked for a ride in your new tesla? Cops are criticized for interacting and criticized for not interacting with the general public. It's a double edged sword made worse when people assume the interaction is based on some abuse of power. If...

    CF Spoilers being delivered now?

    The matte spoiler looks weird sitting on top of a glossy paint finish. I realize, however, that others may like that. I never liked the matte rubber spoilers that graced many a car in the 90's either.
