    SERVICE FAILURE

    I recently had my 2013 model s modem updated to 5g, as it was about to fail, ranger service came to the house to do the service because I am going thru radiation treatments and could not take the car to Tampa. I paid for the service and the next morning on my way to treatment I noticed some...

    Suspension software flaw

    This isn't a case of pulling too close to the curb, and a 100k car does not solve the problem by backing in. This is a flaw that needs attention. If you pull into a parking spot in most lots and stop before the front of the car is to the parking curb , the tail end will stick out dangerously to...

    Disappointed by Poor Interior Quality

    Are you saying that I need to inspect something before I purchase it, thank you, message received , I suggest if your unhappy with your purchase return it and buy your (Porsche/BMW/Benz.), I'm sure you will be much happier, thanks for the kind advice.

    What do you think of this Model S front bumper design?

    Very interesting concept but it appears as if it would produce a lot of frontal drag and disrupt the laminar airflow under the car. I would be concerned with range performance ,so many tiny things can really make a huge difference to a drag coefficient. The look is very aggressive, nice design work.

    Model X 0-60 sub 4s?

    I actually thought it was going to be in the 3.6 range with the 4 wheel drive model, the torque of two motors pulling, should be a fun ride.

    New member intro

    Welcome Tennisman, you of course will be a very happy Tesla owner. I have a standard 85 with the beige interior, I am not fond of the accent piping on the performance seats but that is purely subjective, others just love the look. I personally really like the sleek clean look of the non button...

    Help design a pedestrian warning noise for a Tesla

    To be perfectly clear, i am totally against any kind of noise pollution added to an improved product, that being said we have no control over our GOV'T that is run by lobbyist that get what they want based on the amount of money tendered, to ease the pain I would use the fairly unobtrusive beep...

    Teslas in Movies & TV

    I'm sure I have that recorded and will watch for it, as a side note Don Cheadles S seems to be getting a lot of air time this year on HOUSE OF LIES, no motor sounds this time, LOL

    Air Suspension no longer lowers at highway speeds (FW update v5.8)

    Thanks Gg i will be interested if anyone else has had such a problem, this may be isolated as you say to some kind of malfunction, no rebar spikes sticking out just plain parking curb bollards, I checked very carefully , parking bollards are there to stop wheels from going any further and an...

    Air Suspension no longer lowers at highway speeds (FW update v5.8)

    I apologize for not reading all 87 pages but will insert a small caveat about the auto lowering, I contacted ownership today because I am taking my S to Tampa Service on Tuesday for a few small issues. One not so small issue is with body damage to the front bumper cover, for 9 months my car was...

    Trunk/Frunk dimensions

    thought this would be the place to share a storage solution, have been kind of waiting to see what Tesla comes out with for the Frunk organizer. We often go to a farmers market on Saturdays and two dairy cases have fit the bill. I can load them up with loose items and bags and then carry them in...

    Tesla branded solar power storage unit

    As Solarguy has stated this would be a great backup for Florida, I think this is a small leap to just installing the disconnect required to separate a generator system from the grid and use a Tesla model S or X or E as the battery backup. If you have a solar supply all the better, with the grid...

    Geting in and out of the darn thing...

    I also have the EXIT profile and use it every time, I also make sure my B pillar is clean when I wash the car as I have a very bad back and terrible knees, I put my left forearm on the B pillar as a bit of a push and never have a problem. I'm sure the forward position of the pillar is for impact...

    Redesigned frunk box and duffell bags

    I have two dairy cases in the frunk side by each. They fit perfectly and are great for grocery bags or watermelons, and you can still play with the AMP pedal on the way home and everything stays put.The cases fit well enough that they won't move but there is still a lot of space around them for...

    Diminished value after a wreck in a model S

    I also live in Fl and don't understand the procedure but with 40K damage on a 6 wk old car I would of demanded that the insurance company write the car off. You would of had a new Tesla by now and I would think it would be an easy convince for the insurance company, after they pay out your...

    Tesla Service - Tampa sets the bar!

    Great post Rob, Carolyn and I think Tampa Tesla, Mark and the whole crew are exemplary. This is the way major purchases should be treated and serviced. We have been accustomed to the reverse from car dealers for so long that we are SCHOCKED when treated the way Tampa Tesla treats us. It is a...

    My First MAJOR problem @ 10,000 km

    I hope all works out well for you Zas, I have great faith in Tesla looking after their customers, It reminds me that one of my weakness's has always been the electronic age. Why on such a revolutionary vehicle with an amazing battery technology do we have to rely on an old electrical storage...

    Car washing a Model S by hand

    Experience with Piano Black decor?

    Ditto , Ditto and +1, I also chose the piano black for its simple elegance with the tan interior, micro fiber cloth required for the touch screen anyway and a quick wipe of the piano black keeps it looking great, LOVE IT would not change.

    Silver Model S...What's up?

    I used to have a silver C5 corvette and when you would go to a dealer and see them all lined up in all different colors the silver was the color that actually showed the lines and shape of the car the best. I almost picked silver for my S because of that reason, but chose blue because I wanted a...

    What is Tesla's upcoming 'under your nose' announcement?

    SORRY I can't read all 59 pages of this thread and I am sure this has been mentioned but my bet is something to do with voice command, can't think what as sound and nav respond, but improved or extended system voice control would be pretty cool and thats right under your NOSE.

    artsci's Model S modifications

    I might be a bit concerned running control wiring for radar, and sensors so close to orange high voltage wires for the fear of EMI ( electo magnetic inductance) disturbing the messages down the sensor wires.

    Bike Racks?

    I know the top of the S is designed for roof racks already ( there are inserts in the roof) so I would be pretty sure bikes are a main target.

    Told sudden permanent 15 mile loss of range is "normal"

    I have found a few miles drop if I don't use the car after it has been on charge for a while, but I have backed the car out of the garage to get at things easier and then put the car back in and plugged back in and the miles mysteriously reappear, i don't think it's a case of degradation it may...

    Pano Roof Wind Noise at Higher Speeds
