I'm still not understanding the motivation of these alleged black hat hackers. While there are plenty of examples of black hat attacks on various devices, I have yet to see a case where murder is the intent. As a software engineer myself, I certainly want to see security done well, but I fail...

One of the things that strikes me as odd with many of these reviews is that the journalists don't seem to have gotten the simple walk through that all of us owners got at delivery, explaining how the car works and how it differs from an ICE. I'd even venture to say that at minimum Tesla needs...

I think it would make more sense to worry about some driver intentionally hitting your car that some anonymous hacker intentionally causing your car to crash.

There is a "private" UGA one listed on OpenChargeMap: University of Georgia205 Riverbend Rd Athens GA 30602 United States

Five weeks, ~5000km, no service visits, excellent initial quality. Some firmware issues noted by many, but nothing that requires immediate attention. Two firmware updates from the shipped version, both improvements (I was on 4.0, 4.2, and now 4.2 .42). I'm not new to early adoption, but I've...

I got my direct deposit last Wednesday and picked up my car on New Year's Eve.

I was wondering what the spare nosecone was for. Depending on the location and spacing of the sensors, it may be possible to mount them behind the plastic grill, but I have no idea how you'd get in there as it looks like the entire front fender assembly has to come off in order to get the grill...

For those that have experienced the swaying, have you checked your tire pressures? I have experienced a reaction like you describe, but I found that my tires were all at 39psi. I haven't been able to reproduce the same effect since bringing them all to 45 (19" winters). I suspect that the...

Do the rest of you that have Lacewood interiors actually have Lacewood that looks like the pictures at the start of this thread? Mine doesn't have the same contrast pattern, but is more muted in texture and colour. I'll try to remember to snap a pic to show the difference.

Personally, I can see where this issue might not have come up in testing. I'm an hour north of Toronto and have driven in plenty of snowy and cold conditions. I've only experience fogging once, quickly cured by increasing fan speed and shifting to fresh air. I did note the problem with the...

That's been my concern as well, mnox. I put 90k on my last car in just over a year, so none of the service plans appear to be of great benefit and the "annual" checkup will be pretty durn frequent, more like an ICE oil change interval. FWIW, I was offered tire storage when I picked up my car...

I just got my first update from 4.0 at delivery to 4.2, which appears to have been rolled out to everyone. Quite simply, the update progress and planning for car firmware is not any business of the owner. When it comes in, you can choose to update, but asking for full transparency in their day...

Heh, I saw that too. Not surprising as Seth has one.

Discount car? I'd take another even with the salvage title for the right price. :)

This is not true for my wife's 2011 Cruze, FWIW.

I'm around the same and haven't had any real issues. I've noted a few things that could be improved, but the software has been solid for me and I'm a picky software developer myself.

I agree with Doug, every newer car I've owned or driven had this issue, most of them rather badly. My older cars (87 Mercedes, 90 Range Rover, 94 Miata) don't do this. I can't speak for the Tesla yet, it is too cold for windows down operation.

I thought that the 85kwh battery was needed in order to supply enough power for the bigger motor and inverter on the perf model. With electric conversions, this is often an issue as you need more battery amps in short burst than you can provide without having a large number of cells, which...

I have the TED 5000 setup as well with multiple CT pairs covering different panels, including a set on my 14-50 receptacle.

Wow, that is a LOT more chargers than I expected. Way to go, Sun Country!

I'm a heel-toe manual driver and I've never gotten the two pedal warning, even with bulky winter boots. With the S, I also rarely use the brake pedal at all, but I had to specifically try to get the warning to pop up in order to verify its existence. Perhaps this explains so many recalls from...

FWIW, jd3, my car was delivered with 4.0 and mine does the same thing. I would prefer an audible warning as well before I go driving around with my fly down, so to speak.

Um, "dry" cleaning uses liquid chemicals, just not water.

Where is there a winter driving course in that area? I'm on the opposite side of Lake Simcoe from Barrie and Orillia and only have a 50a 14-50, but if you get desperate for a charge, let me know.

There are two within my local area in Ontario.

Wow, another crusader? Shouldn't you folks be out driving?

With the reservations outpacing production, I don't know that we'll see discount priced used vehicles for a while yet. It took quite a while for the used Roadster market to become affordable and even then the most modern revisions still sell for a pretty penny. There's also the fuel savings in...

Given the season, it would have made more sense to have the all season ones first. i seem to vaguely recall that some Signature owners were promised mats on their due bill. Any word on whether these are them and if one will get a choice between all season and standard?

That didn't take long. :)

There's truthful experience and there's scare tactic subject lines. The TM forum thread is obnoxious, especially before dealing with the issue through Tesla. There are a lot of positive winter experiences, some from the very same area and snowstorm. While there might be an issue with one car...

Any Canadian sig folks still awaiting delivery?

My understanding is that 40a is the limit for continuous draw on a 50a circuit. Above 40a is ok for burst, but not long term.

I wouldn't be too worried about being pulled over in the HOV lanes as I've never seen any of the twits that cross the double lines or drive solo pulled over.

Exactly so. My home has 600A service due to being built in the 70's when hydro was dirt cheap and electric resistance baseboard heaters were common. I've been on a geothermal system for 25 years and have tons of unused capacity. Unfortunately, only 100A is wired to the garage and that...

"Green" plates in Ontario are issued to battery electric vehicles of a certain size. They allow you to drive solo in the HOV lanes and provide parking/charging at some government buildings.

The Canadian Signature VINs started at 2000, leaving a gap from the highest US Signatures. However, there are tons of reasons why they wouldn't deliver them sequentially, such as transport time, options produced, customer delays, availability of a DS, etc. If they waited until 3000 was...

The C&D review is on the newsstands in Canada. I dropped by to pick up the Motor Trend one and went home with a few extra articles as well.

If anyone spots 2049, sig red black interior, snap me a shot please!

Most new cars now come with a gas-brake shutoff after all of the folks that were unable to drive their vehicles caused massive recalls. I don't think that this is any different than your average 2012 Toyota.

News to me, mine has been put off into January.

Fwiw, I'm #69 Canadian S and won't be getting my car in December, so it may be bit premature to expect P deliveries that soon, no matter what the reservation order with the US.

I've never found car alarms to be useful for much of anything. People ignore them or are annoyed by them, but they don't stop someone who knows what they are doing. I especially don't like my car honking the horn as a signal for anything. I'd much rather have the alarm response go to my phone...

I registered for home delivery before the initial E-Mail went out and was still given the option of a Delivery Event.

Isn't the proper person to ask for clarification the specialist that you were talking to at the time? There are plenty of factors, both technological and economic, but it isn't as if anyone here can more than speculate (or make something up).

Ha! The mail came in eventually. Go go gadget advanced notice!

Odd that every other update was an email, but this one was knowing to press a button on their web site. Thanks for posting, hopefully I hear from the DS tomorrow to start the ball rolling.

Why buy the tire package over the rims alone if you're changing tires?

How about a nice provincial EV incentive like the BC one? :)

What colour was 2067? With a few dropouts, that could be around where my VIN will be.

Ownership replied to me eventually saying that although an autogenerated VIN was in the system, they weren't going to give it to me and that they are still held up in homologation. No answer at all of financing. In fact, they seemed completely unaware of the Scotia financing that has been...
