    P90D (Insane) is quicker than P85D - Review

    I upgraded my P85D to an L and I notice it daily and love it! I need to take to the track and compare (no max battery) v (max battery) v (launch mode). That would be fun. Daily driving I notice a big difference when I am fully maxed and heated up.

    Since the Falcon Wing Suppliers Suck, Give me Regular Doors and Roof Rack Hook Ups!!

    Sorry guys, been swamped. Coming back to this I realize I let my marketing brain get the best of me during a hectic day. My title was a little sensational to say the least and I realize I should of posted this as a poll or a question. What it really comes down to is I love Tesla and my Model S...

    EV Retrofit 68 Mustang 0-60 in 1.94 secs

    Yeah it says only 40-50 mile range right now. It's just for the drag strip. What I really liked is the switch that resets the power draw at 70mph to access the 1,800 torque all over again, eliminating the decrease in power we are used to at high speeds. Almost like putting a gear in an EV, super...

    Since the Falcon Wing Suppliers Suck, Give me Regular Doors and Roof Rack Hook Ups!!

    If they released a regular door version with roof rack hook ups I would confirm today. I could careless about "billionaire doors." I could put my Thule up there and then I won't care about the middle row folding flat and I am good to go. Don't get me wrong I love how cool they are and I like...

    Model S body proportions are so classic I could see it lasting another 5-7 years

    Totally agree with OP. Walking up to the car I am always reminded of how stunning it is. I think the only thing they should do is the Model X front end, but only if that is the direction they are going as a company. If the Model 3 is getting a completely different front end I think they should...

    Tesla Model X P90D Review - Part I (4K)

    Awesome video, thanks for posting. I haven't read through all the requests but would love more in depth looks at the rear storage space. The third row down, what you can fit. The third row down + the middle row pushed all the way up, what you can fit etc... I would love to see some of that.

    Model X is ruining my Model S

    This is rad. I have wondered if this would happen. Hoping it does, cause I was assuming it was just going to be a bigger S and not SO MUCH better.

    Living with Falcon Wing Doors - Thumbs up, down, or both?

    I would love to hear as well. I am on the other side of the coin and if the X didn't have the falcons I would of finalized my order yesterday. I don't have small children and have no need for them. I'd rather just open and close the doors normally and not have to wait on a motor. Would be cool...

    Anyone seen combo of chrome delete on metallic green p85+ with grey 21in wheels?

    If you look at all High End cars and I mean 100k+ 95% of them don't have a lick of chrome. Look at the Cayenne GTS or any Porsche for that matter in the upper range. Show me a relatively new Lambo, Ferrari, Aston, Mclaren etc... with any chrome on it. You won't. Chrome is 90's. And maybe...

    Anyone seen combo of chrome delete on metallic green p85+ with grey 21in wheels?

    I painted the frame black and put it back, just don't have it in this original pics. I Want to delete the Tesla sign too in the rear, but my guy didn't have time that day. All you do is vinyl wrap the chrome, not expensive and that way if the new owner down the roads wants the chrome back he can...

    Anyone seen combo of chrome delete on metallic green p85+ with grey 21in wheels?

    I chrome deleted my metallic gray and it looks so much better. IMO the Model S's biggest design flaw is the excessive chrome.

    Slate grey

    I have it on mine (March 2015), it is awesome. Don't know why they discontinued it. The new gray has way more blue in it.

    What Happened to Battery Swaps?

    They should set up a swap in barstow, I would gladly pay to run in swap and run out on my way from CA to Vegas.

    Color

    I have midnight silver too and love it. Doesn't show dirt too bad. My friend had the same color on his, but I liked it so much more than the other colors I had to get it. I blacked out my chrome and my car looks totally different than my friends. I have gray 21's too.

    If GM built this car with an electric drivetrain, Tesla would be out of business--

    Could care less about what GM or any other manufacturer does with electric in terms of "Hurting Tesla." I want it to happen cause it is better for the world. But even better for the world would be a freaking Model S Coupe!!! After seeing this, I want!!!

    Is there really a difference? 2015 vs 2013

    I noticed a huge difference where my first driving experience with a Tesla was my 2015 P85D and then getting a 2013 loaner. It felt like a serious downgrade in build and quality. My 2015 cabin is still way too loud though.

    How much did your electric bill go up?

    Mine went down because of the EV credit I get from my electric company. I always charge after midnight to so that I am charging Tier 1.

    Will the Model 3 be Ludicrously Fast?

    My entire life I considered myself a car guy, now I am a Tesla guy. There is nothing in the ICE world that I even remotely car about anymore. Every year since I can remember I have gone to either the LA or SD Auto Show, when I found out that there wouldn't be a Model X at this years show I...

    Ludicrous mode: is it worth it?

    I saw this thread today so I decided to write a review in the model S section based off my experience after upgrading my P85D to an L. I Upgraded to Ludicrous and got Launch Mode!!! Is it worth it? Here is my review.

    I Upgraded to Ludicrous and got Launch Mode!!! Is it worth it? Here is my review.

    This last thursday I picked up my newly retrofitted P85DL which also came with the new software upgrade offering "Launch Mode." First off to help put some context to my opinion towards the "is it worth it" debate, I was looking at this decision from a mostly impractical view. A.) the performance...

    How Fast Can you Deplete the Battery?

    So to get Ludicrous mode retrofit you need to show up with under 30% battery. I forgot and charged mine the night before so I woke up and had a quest to deplete my battery from 90% to 29% within 2 hours. It ended up taking about 1.5 hours and I could of done it a lot quicker in hindsight. I...

    2 Red X's delivered to Costa Mesa today!!

    Bobbykansara You don't need to defend yourself. 90% of the posts on this forum are #0thworldproblems it was a stunning red and worthy of your guilt. Why don't you find a vinyl that matches and wrap yours? No not as cool as the Sig insignia but could still enjoy the color for a lot less money.

    Body Colored Handles Instead off Chrome

    IMO the biggest design flaw of the model S is way too much chrome. I de-chromed mine within a month of owning and it looks so much cleaner and better. Again this is my opinion, but I am not alone as most exotic cars have little to no chrome anymore. The more expensive a Porsche gets the less...

    Just Scheduled Ludicrous on my P85D!!!

    Just got off the phone with the Costa Mesa service center and I'm scheduled for Ludicrous upgrade next Thursday the 10th. The girl I talked to was just scheduling and had no details regarding final cost and actual speed upgrade. She said I was third on the list. I scheduled it and I plan on...

    Tesla recalls entire Model S fleet for seat belts

    I am seeing the same. If the site was bombarded though it would most likely just be slow on the schedule page, not redirecting to the main page, so something must be messed up.

    AutoPilot decelerates too abruptly

    I had the collision warning come on just yesterday in traffic while using TACC. The problem is the distance setting and the speed that's locked in. If I'm locked in at 70 and the car I'm following departs my lane when I'm at 55mph then due to the big gap in front of me before the next car, TACC...

    Will the LA Auto Show have a model X?

    Somebody put their Sig X on Display in the downstairs private owner area at LA auto show, it would be the most popular car at the show.

    Will the LA Auto Show have a model X?

    They haven't finished updating all the debut's and new cars on the LA Auto show site, but does anyone know if an X will be there? Last year Tesla didn't have a booth, but the year before I'm almost certain they did.

    Beside myself with Excitement! After 2 Yrs Hard Work I've sold my wife on the X!

She loves our Model S and loves driving it, but we drive a lot from CA to Vegas and Utah and she does not want to stop and charge. I wish they would beta test "Battery Swap" in Barstow, it is so busy it would be a great place...

    Hold me!

    I got my P85D last march and I love every second of it. Coming off a 2010 S4 and before that an 07 M5. Neither car holds a candle (I did love the S4 though). I have had zero issues with the car, literally none. I literally love driving this car every day, you will not be disappointed.

    How to bring up the new clock in instrument?

    On the steering wheel you hold down the left wheel button that you use for volume. That will let you choose from a bunch of options. You can also swap which side of the screen they show up on.

    Loud Speaker Buzz

    Others have reported the same in other threads I think it had to do with their phone proximity. Like old school cell phone feedback.
