I'm hoping that this goes for people who have owned as well. I had S #2108 before we moved from Canada to New Zealand. At the time with warranty, service, and support in question in taking the car with us along with a massive tuition bill for my wife entering med school we chose to sell it...

We saw a front windshield fogging issue during our first winter but this was rectified with the front grille retrofit that production cars received and changes to the defrost controls in software updates. Outside of that no unreasonable drafts to report from what I recall, even at -20C in range...

Q: Why should I buy a Signature edition? Signature owners know how special this car and company are as they have been committed for quite some time. The production run had a lot of oversight from the engineering team and Elon himself which has resulted in a fantastic experience. When...

Haven't had any major issue so far - only things done to the car are the regular service bulletins when I brought it in for the annual service and winter tire swap. Compared to what I've heard others dealing with she seems to be built right as far as I can tell (I'm not a car guy though). It...

Model S Signature Red - S2108 - Canada - 38,500km - $85k While normally I would tell you that selling this car would be the last thing I would do we recently received news that my wife was accepted into med school in New Zealand. With $250,000 of tuition fees headed our way not to mention a...

Has anyone seen whether there is a premium for a Signature edition? My wife just got into med school and we are shipping off to New Zealand in February. I'm looking to post S2108 up soon with around 38,000km (mostly highway) on it.

I just sent this off to my MPP, the Minister of Transportation (Glen Murray) and the ONroute contact - hope others will consider something like this as well to poke the province to take Tesla up on the Supercharger program: Ted, Sylvia, Glen, As stakeholders in the onROUTE public-private...

Only the government would re-invent a classifieds site with an even worst user experience than Craigslist. :S

Nice. We hit 20,000km with ours this past weekend. Still as much fun as the first 5,000km.

Bluetooth still an issue 4.5 came down on Friday night. Noticed today that Bluetooth is still unstable - has been since 4.4. At present it's still stuck in "Bluetooth is Initializing" mode until I reboot the touchscreen. Will see if it's randomly rebooting and screeching at me this week...

I wrote to TuneIn 2-3 months back because I was trying to pull in a few New Zealand stations without any luck. The frustrating part is there is no user feedback about issues playing - just the spinning circle of death. No response... I should probably just write ownership and see if they take...

Passed 13,000km after 16 weeks of driving last week and loving it!

I tried it yesterday and it didn't work again. I'm going to stick with them having flagged my account.

I'm scheduled for next Thursday - will let you know.

I'm coming up on nearly 13,000km after three months of driving my Model S - I suspect I'll hit the 20,000km mark within the next two months. Has anyone has the "annual" maintenance done yet? Curious what is included...

Loud Scratching Noise and Bluetooth Stack Crashing I have been getting a horrible loud scratching noise rand in the last 2-3 weeks while listening to podcasts over Bluetooth with my Nokia Lumia 920 (Windows Phone 8). The Bluetooth stack will also crash from time-to-time on the car. Luckily...

I had quite the back-and-forth with 407 ETR escalating to the Office of the President before they would flag my Model S to ensure video toll charges would not be applied. My experience is that the transponder cannot reliably operate on the windshield -- I did manage to get it to pick up once on...

From my experience the traffic data accuracy is quite different between what I see on the Model S and INRIX on my Windows Phone. INRIX has quite a bit more detail where as I'd classify the MS traffic data as optimistic (i.e. the route I travel is more green than it really is).

Logging out from your session Looks like you make an HTTP DELETE call to /Logout with the _s_portal_session and user_credentials cookies set to logout: var logoutAddress = new UriBuilder(baseAddress) { Path = "/logout" }; var httpClientHandler = new HttpClientHandler()...

I need this feature. I arrived home at on-peak hours and was supposed to plug-in before going to bed. Guess who forgot. :)

They were the 19" Pirelli set that Tesla offers. Thanks! :) I am giving test drives to clients all the time so I'm developing a bit of a pitch.

I did a winter driving course recently and they took some video of me sliding around the ice on the Model S for a Canadian auto site, wheels.ca. Video was just posted here: VIDEO: Tesla Model S on ice It was fun to experience RWD on ice and get some practice in on recovering traction...

For those that have seen how great the traffic data is (at least it is here in the Toronto area), please vote for my suggestion for INRIX to partner with Tesla on the nav traffic data: Partner w/Tesla to be the traffic data source for the Tesla Model S/X

Touchscreen Crashed Twice This week I've had the touchscreen crash on me twice. Both times while trying to change channels with Slacker Radio if I recall properly. The climate stops for a moment, the screen goes black with the good ol' X-Windows "x" and then it reboots. Anyone else seeing...

I've just started poking at the APIs now that I have a Nexus to test with so I can push out a Windows Phone app (once Nokia steps up to fix my Lumia 920). Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Can't wait - I've been too lazy to plug in later at night during off peak hours so this will cut my energy costs by at least 30%.

Sounds like you lucked out. Lisa was mentioning that they didn't have a huge parts supply yet so hopefully this will be one of those one off issues.

While up in Minden at the winter driving course it was between -17C and -20C at times - we only had a 12A/110V outlet available and it gave us +1km range after nearly three hours of charging. My guess is all of the energy was being used to keep the battery warm. I'd agree that somewhere around...

I had my windshield washer jets reaimed today by Toronto service. Will see how they hold up with the next snow fall.

Are we allowed to spot our own cars? :) This was mine up in Minden, Ontario yesterday for winter driving training. Learned a lot about RWD, impacts of traction control and regen breaking on ice while I was there. They also took some video as well for the Toronto Star.

Agreed. Being able to plan a route using my Google Maps on my tablet then sharing it with the car would do the trick.

Just passed 5,000km this week after about a month and wrote up a few thoughts on the experience so far. Just thought I'd share my thoughts (cross-posted from 5,000 Electric Kilometers and Counting): This week, after just over a month of driving, I hit the 5,000km mark on my [Tesla Model...

We avoid cruise for a few reasons: snowy, curvy and hilly roads would have made for spikes in throttle at all the wrong times. We felt the need to carefully maintain handling because of the road conditions while conserving every last drop of energy in case we needed to find a safe place to stop...

What we saw today is that a 110V/12A did little to nothing to increase range for at least 2 hours of being plugged in when temps are -15C or below. In retrospect it might have been better for us to just get in the car and drive rather than wait the 2-3 hours with the car sitting idle, cold...

I've got GVAB 577 so I can use the HOV lanes on the 403/QEW. Cuts down on the tolls paid to the 407 ETR (they waste our dollars on crappy customer service anyway). It sucks they won't do personalized ones though.

Thanks for the tips folks! We started out with a projected range of around 84km for a trip that was about 90km. We made it back to the Best Western in Orillia, ON which has a 70A Sun Country Highway charger (thanks SCH!) with about 20km of rated range left. What worked for us: * Speed - Drove...

I'm not sure - my thought was less 3G draw and the power for the speakers. I'm looking for ideas to try.

We're in Minden, Ontario at a winter driving course. The cold this morning chewed a lot of range off the battery on the way up and they only have a 110V/15A circuit here where we can charge and are only seeing 2 km/hr of charge at the moment. The town was supposed to have a 240V/40A circuit...

I stored mine on pick-up day because I was headed off to see a client after and knew I'd be giving test drives all afternoon. :) I'll store them at home after the first swap out. Should be in for the "annual" service just in time for spring at this rate as I will cross 5,000km tomorrow. I...

I'll change the batteries on both of them. The car is just over a month old - I sure hope this doesn't become a monthly activity.

When the car is cold you also use a lot more energy for the first few km's while it heats up the battery and the car. Today I was pushing 400+ Wh/km coming out of the Burlington Go Train Station after the car spent the afternoon in the parking lot.

Key Fob Not Present Now that I'm on 4.2 I am noticing that occasionally it isn't recognizing that the key fob is with me. It's in the same place it always is - my jacket pocket. I have to unlock the car with the key fob before the message goes away and I can drive off. Anyone else seeing this?

When I got to the office at 9am I had about 300km rated range left. When left just after 4pm I had approx 270km left on the rated range. Regen braking was disabled and there was a cap on energy usage around 300. The first 10-15km were really heavy on energy usage (up around 300 Wh/km vs. the...

TuneIn Radio Streaming Issues I am having some issues with a few favorites I have on TuneIn Radio account. These stations all stream fine on my Windows Phone 8 or Windows 8 PCs: Kiwi FM - 102.2 Auckland - shows up, doesn't seem to connect The Rock FM 90.2 Auckland - shows up, doesn't...

4.2 (1.19.41) installed on my Model S. The pano roof appears to be a bit more responsive but still jumps to vent first before opening upon first test. Will see if my other issues resolve around the staying on, temp going to "---", etc...

I guess I'll have to roll very slowly through the gate then with the windows open to hear if it beeps. ;)

Any Sig owners have any further luck? I got a new 407 ETR transponder and so far it has only beeped once out of the 15 trips I've done with it.

Plugged into a NEMA 14-50 at home I noticed this (mind you this was near the end of the charge): I would expect at 31 mph charge would work out to 50 km/hr. I never have bothered to watch too closely but with a 300km trip coming up I'll be sure to pay a lot more attention. (while we are at...

QNX Car Platform 2.0 looks pretty impressive too: QNX's Car platform 2.0 puts a 1080p display, LTE, and video calling in your car
