    From Models S to Model 3...Wow these cars are different!

    Congrats on the soon-to-be-delivered 85D! :)

    New changes in service plans?

    Anyone know what the cost is for each service if you didn't purchase the maintenance plan?

    Need advice dealing with not-at-fault insurance claim

    What protector pillow system did you end up getting? I'm still looking for one that will fit me needs.

    Did you ever get your car back all put together?

    A word of warning for potential Tesla owners.

    To compound the problem, many independent body repair shops do not want to go through the hassle of getting Tesla certified. I recently had my MS totaled and spent a lot of time talking to nearby body shops and why they haven't been certified. Most said it wasn't worth the investment yet (they...

    Quick question... are the lights flush with the surface of the letters?

    From Models S to Model 3...Wow these cars are different!

    I just drove a PM3 and a new P100D yesterday and the Model 3 felt good but the Model S felt nicer - probably because I'm used to it. Not to mention many of the upgrades in the new MS I paid extra for in 2016 (my 2016 MS actually cost about $10k more than the same configuration in 2018, which is...

    Yes, and it's fabulous! Maybe even a deal-breaker for the M3.... :D

    From Models S to Model 3...Wow these cars are different!

    Hello! My Model S was just totalled and I'm back in the market for a new EV. I thought I would just get another Model S, but I was curious about maybe getting a performance M3. Anything about the M3 that makes you want to go back to the MS?

    Need advice dealing with not-at-fault insurance claim

    Holy cow! Now I'm definitely glad my car is being totalled! I tried to tow the vehicle to Service King in Castle Rock, but they said they were not taking any hail damaged vehicles at the moment and Stuttgart who was booking a year out. I'm still waiting for the pay-off amount (for some...

    Need advice dealing with not-at-fault insurance claim

    Thanks... I guess it is pretty common around here. It seems like the insurance company is going to total it. I should get the final word today or tomorrow.

    They were about the size of tennis balls and softballs. Some were even bouncing of one car and hitting another... so sad.

    Need advice dealing with not-at-fault insurance claim

    I was curious how this eventually turned out. I was considering a diminished value claim, as well. I am also in Colorado Springs and just had my 2016 Model S pummeled by a freak hail storm. My insurance is still trying to figure out whether to repair it or salvage it, but the current estimate...

    New Model S Order Website

    It appears this is still in development mode, and as mentioned before, this is just an attempt to streamline the ordering/manufacturing process for a mass market. It had to happen, if Tesla wants to produce and sell large numbers. They didn't take away the custom ordering option, but instead...

    Any experience with inventory car shipping?

    My inventory car was supposedly in the Las Vegas inventory and enroute to Denver where I was going to pick it up. Then I got a call saying my Model S arrived and was asked when did I want to come down to the Las Vegas SC to take delivery. Communication after purchase/order, particularly at the...

    How did it turn out? I was considering stealing your idea as a community service project by our local electric vehicle club.

    Newbie!

    Welcome to the family! It is all over after the test drive! I did three... just for fun. But I did do three additional overnight test drives, even after I put my order in, and I highly recommend it. This helped me get a little more familiar with all the options that I was considering, not to...

    Yep. At least that was the implication with the web-based sizing/ordering process I went through months ago.

    Bonnie, do you have a good email for the referral program? My leather duffle bag (that I received today) has water/mold damage and needs to be replaced.

    Referral Awards

    I just received this exact bag today (without warning, presumably from the July/October referral) and it has what appears to be water damage and/or mold in the leather on every side. Tried to clean it, but it didn't work. Still no jacket, although I provided my sizing months ago. :(

    Firmware 8.1

    Has anyone with an AP1 version vehicle noticed any intentional changes with the 8.1 update? The new "My Favorites" streaming audio station doesn't appear anywhere (based on my release notes), and voice navigation for my "favorited" locations doesn't seem to work either. Just curious.

    Has anyone installed the Blackvue 650 in the new 2016 model S?

    There is a fourth option for the rear cable where you keep the current connector tip (no cutting or soldering), but you run it towards the taillights inside of the hatchback (inside the aluminum frame) and back up (between the frame and the plastic trim). There is plenty of room for the...

    Touch-up Paint Availability Question

    Still waiting for the Tesla Store to stock Midnight Silver Metallic (PMNG). Most sites that advertise OEM color matching do not have Teslas, and those that do, do not seem to have the "newer" paint colors.

    Super charger etiquette question

    I like that card! Where did you get it? Reminds me of the parking cards in Europe. Dealers should include this when you buy an EV. I use a version of this card (minus the Evannex plug) and use the courtesy notices way more than I expected to.

    Navigation offered to navigate me home?

    I was under the impression that the "current traffic situation" was pulled from Google Maps, although, now I cannot find where I heard that... Regarding the prompts to work/home and rerouting due to traffic conditions, you have to set a threshold on how many minutes you want to save before it...

    New Batch of Refferal Rewards

    I've joined a local Electric Vehicle club and we try to educate people about EV ownership. If people ask, I tell them the truth - this car isn't for everyone, the good things about Tesla, the bad things about Tesla. If they still want more info, I give them a business card with my referral...

    Car wash scare

    I do the same at least once a week (it's a lease) without any issues while on the conveyor belt. I have had issues trying to put it into Neutral and push just a little too hard and put it in Reverse. :eek:

    It is a safety feature that when the driver gets out of the car, it automatically switches to Park.

    Why is the charge port on the left side when we drive on the right side of the road in North America

    I think if we want to see the long-term expansion of charging networks (as did gas stations a couple of generations ago) and have charging stations conveniently accessible to all, it would be prudent to have some sort of "standard" among EV manufacturers so that charging station...

    Jaguar is getting in on the EV game...

    Yeah, I thought Model 3 initially, because of the shape, but after looking at more photos (there was one with someone standing next to it for reference) plus the fact the literature is calling it an SUV, I would have to agree with you that it is closer to the Model X. Their website is...
