Back in August Tesla announced a $20,000 price for owners of P90DL's to upgrade to a P100DL. I've used the [ahem] TMC search function but can't find anything about the status. Has anyone received an upgrade? If not, what are they telling you about availability?

After making a post, I immediately wanted to edit it. There was a Delete link at the bottom, but no Edit link. Is this a system issue or am I missing something? EDIT: Now on this post the Edit button appears but there is no Delete option. What gives?

We've heard Ron Baron talk about Tesla returning 30x-50x and Elon talk about a $1T market cap, larger than Apple. But I haven't seen any valuation models here, other than the ones done by the WS analysts which are way less aggressive than what Tesla plans to achieve. Does it make sense for us to...

Does anyone here know what you would have to do to install Powerwall 2 in a grid-tie solar system and also use it for the disaster backup scenario? I understand that Powerwall 2 has an included inverter, but that is used to convert the DC output of the batteries to AC. The input to charging the...

I'm concerned that Tesla is no longer committed to delivering balanced performance. Here's what we have seen happen in the last few months with the highest performance version of the Model S: 1) In February, Tesla started delivering P85D's with the square Continental wheel/tire setup vs. the...

I know there have been previous discussions about the P85D using the front motor to "pull" the car forward as you accelerate and unwind the steering wheel from the apex of a turn. That definitely promotes less understeer and faster corner exits. After experiencing the understeer that is...

I periodically go on backroads drives with a group of exotic car owners here in the Bay Area. While we drive fast, everyone is careful to stay on their side of the road and slow way down for blind curves, bicyclists and pedestrians. That said, when the road is open the speed limits are ignored...

Los Gatos: Is Tesla coming to town? - San Jose Mercury News Tesla has been looking for a Los Gatos location for over a year, and it looks like they may have found one. While not yet confirmed to be Tesla, this new construction project at the corner of Hwy 9 and N. Santa Cruz Ave. sure matches...

I've had a Blink J1772 charger for 2 1/2 years (installed before I got my Model S) and it has worked very well. However, yesterday I noticed that it was charging my Model S more slowly. Sure enough, the current had been cut back from 30A to 24A. I unplugged the Blink from the wall outlet to...

..when adjusted for number of vehicles on the road in the U.S. Who buys Teslas? Prius owners and drivers of exotic cars - latimes.com Why are exotic car owners big into Teslas? “It is either because they are so wealthy that they can add another toy to the collection,” Libby said, “or they...

Has anybody else seen this (today IS Tuesday)? I reported to Technical Support and they are baffled as well. The only possible explanation I can think of is that the year got prematurely bumped to 2014.

I'm happy to report that the Fremont Service Center successfully upgraded my Signature P85 with the Performance Plus suspension and I picked up the car today. I'm totally amazed at the transformation in the handling. All of my previous complaints about "floaty" freeway lane changes, understeer...

I was thinking that the time it takes to supercharge while on a road trip could be a negative for someone contemplating a Model S purchase, when I remembered that supercharging is FREE. So I decided to calculate an hourly wage rate for a supercharger attendant. :biggrin: While there are no...

When the Model S is going downhill and using regenerative braking, if you apply the brake pedal the amount of regen (as shown on the IP dial) is reduced, even though you are slowing down more. In the same situation in my Fisker Karma, when I apply the brake pedal the amount of regen increases...

I searched prior posts for an answer to this, but could not find anything. The question is, when the map screen is displayed but I have not activated navigation (i.e. no destination set), shouldn't the location of my Model S be displayed? I thought it did when the Delivery Specialist demoed the...

We've had our Model S for about 10 days and love it! One thing I noticed is that if the car is not used or charged for 24 hours it loses about 10 miles of indicated range. This is without opening the doors or otherwise turning the car "on" in any way. Is this normal behavior? Any idea why it...
