    Look at this idiot

    Read this article and watched video http://jalopnik.com/watch-tesla-autopilot-2-0-drive-like-a-drunk-old-man-1792785936 Worse than fake news Look at the video. I would NEVER use auto steer there as the right line never appears on dash. It is essentially a one lined road he's on.

    Tacc annoyance

    love the ap2 experience and being patient. But one thing about tacc local driving (lilely tacc should be used more on higheays)- is the following. If I'm traveling 65 mph with no one in front of me and I approach a stopped car say 0.5 miles ahead of me at a red light- if I continue with tacc-...

    Finally got my hw2 app going. Question

    so use the hell outta tacc. Couldn't wait for ap but no real highways near me. Finally got on one and the icon popped up. The 50 mph limit is almost a tad dangerous as it's so slow. lol. Understand what they were thinking. Because I could t go that slow for long, I couldn't figure out what...

    New .25 tacc hw2

    got my update yesterday on my new model S. Great to have slight increase speed but I now notice the tacc (when used locally) seems to stop a tad later then before. Makes for more abrupt stops. Mildly uncomfortable. Love tacc - my only issue is that it slows too fast and long when car in front...

    Guys, On my second model S- love the thing. had the car about a month and there were a few issues that I had to bring her in to the SC. I live far away so it was a real PITA but they were good enough to pick up the car and fix it! Nonetheless one of the complaints was that my driver folding...

    grinding noise after plug in

    Guys, New p90d. Had a few issues and just got back from service. I now notice that when I plug in car at home, it makes a high pitch sound for 15 seconds (like electric sound?)- which is likely normal. However after 15 seconds there is a grinding motor like sound coming from the front. Hate...

    My house shows up on buddies tesla

    So my buddy and I both have model s. On my screen I see the greyed charge icon (in my car). I thought it was because I have charged it there. My buddies car, never had been charged at my house, has same grey icon over my house! How is that possible. I can't see his house from my car.

    Finally found something I hate about my Model S - Seat belt 'creak'

    The driver side seat belt! It "creaks". Subtle and not loud but drives me nuts on an otherwise quiet car. Had heard others mention this issue before - not sure if there is a cure?

    Brilliant idea or dumb

    So I have my model s-my only car right now. And it is perfect for me, even if I need to go on long trip. (wife has van if really need to travel far off beaten path). Anyway, my concern is winter. When I say winter I mean blizzards. My plan was to by an old car/truck with awd or 4x4 for...

    How does Tesla compare with an AWD car in snow

    Hey guys, So I went from a 4wd truck to a model s. And live it. Live in NY in burbs, and have a job where I do need to leave the house to drive even if bad snow storm. Winter should be done , but when I got the model s I initially planned on getting a used clunker truck or awd car for snow...

    Getting a car wash

    Guys, Any differences getting a car wash with model s? Do you have to stay in the car? Does the water spraying the battery do anything. Likely dumb question. Lol as driving in the rain is worse I'm sure.

    Center screen not completely level. Is this normal?

    Car is great. My big screen is perfect on all edges except the top. I may be nitpicking, but the top left corner is a touch off (can see a mm of black before top dash). Of note my dash above screen has a bit of a bounce to it (tiny) See pic

    Weird static sound

    Saw some similar complaints in old posts, but no answers. Anyone experience a rare yet intermittent buzz/static sound seems to be from under the dash, specifically near the speedometer. Sounds like a soft bee hive. Can't seem to reproduce it. Had car 3 weeks, happened maybe 4-5 times. When...

    Wiper blade options for Model S

    New Model S- dealt with snow today. After the snow melted I ran wipers and noticed that they don't move smoothly back and forth but instead the speed of the wipers kind of whips. Is this normal? I'm sure it is, just did not notice it before.

    Most accurate range in car

    Guys, Where in the car is an actual "how many miles I can really drive" before needing to walk. Does this exist? Does the range estimate on the speedometer (way off) match the data on the "energy" area? (I'd look on my own car but stuck at work and this is bugging me)? How accurate is the...
