    Switched to the ultra white interior

    I've had the white seats for 1.5 years and they still look brand new. I don't do anything special to protect or care for them. We eat, drink, have kids in the car, no problem. They are beautiful, and comfortable. You made the right choice. But, I don't typically wear jeans, which does seem...

    Mobile Trip Planner

    Does anyone else wish you could use the Tesla navigation tool from your phone? The mobile app will tell me how much range I have on the car, but it won't tell me whether I can reach my destination or where the Superchargers are along the way. I can only plan my trip when I'm sitting in the car...

    I had a latch failure on the driver side door of a 2016 Model X.

    Tesla Black Box Data Collection - Hands on Wheel

    "I found the explanation of the events leading to the collision, and the claim of the cars' ability to sense hands-on-wheel to be completely misleading." Agreed...Tesla appears to be spinning the facts to protect themselves. Autopilot does not know whether hands are on or off the wheel...

    Confessions of a Model X driver

    Brilliant. I have all those (especially trunk closing on my head) and I offer a couple more. - I have lost ID cards, business cards and a gift certificate by laying them flat on the sliding door on top of the center console. When I stop quickly, momentum slides them forward and they slide under...

    Nav 8.0 - UI not made for driving

    "Tesla risks having these issues impact their sales, especially when other manufacturers start bringing competitive long range EVs to the market (like the Chevy Bolt). I continue to provide comments on my concerns - hoping that other owners will chime in - and Tesla will take those comments into...

    Nav 8.0 - UI not made for driving

    I agree with the basic premise that the UI should be designed to work for people who are driving the Model S and that Tesla's design has strayed from that. What do drivers need? First of all, they need to be able to see important information at a glance. One of the things that the 8.0 upgrade...

    -20C : Our Tesla will not charge

    I had a terribly scary experience that same weekend. Took the kids to the Poconos for skiing and waterpark. Planning the trip, I happily discovered that Tesla has a supercharger right near the mountain, in middle-of-nowhere PA. I got there with 54 miles of charge on the car, and parked for 2...

    Buying a Tesla for all the wrong reasons?!

    The Pros are all the right reasons. You will never regret the decision. Once you start go get used to driving the Model S, driving most other cars just pales in comparison.

    Why doesn't Tesla distinguish between new Model S years e.g. Model S 2012, 2013, etc?

    I don't know, but I suspect the reason is that Tesla makes the cars on demand. Unlike traditional auto makers, who develop a line and then churn out thousands of vehicles in order to supply dealers with inventory, Tesla doesn't make a vehicle unless someone orders it. And since they don't use...

    Audio: Sound System Quality?

    I test drove the Tesla last weekend in Mahwah. I wasn't blown away by the sound system, which was supposedly upgraded. It wasn't bad. But the upgraded sound system in my BMW blew away what I heard in the Tesla. That said, it was a pre-recoded track of music I didn't like, and I only listened...
