    Suggestion to Elon Musk: Require override to move Model X when FWD is open.

    +1 A great idea for an update. Doors open, no movement until you override. There is a far more common risk of accidentally driving before a door is fully closed, then there is of me wanting my doors open while I’m driving. FWD are a novel addition, but our garages aren’t built for them. I...

    Extended Warranty Going Up July 3, Will You Buy Now?

    Yeah, I'm kind of pissed about this too. I had no idea they were going to raise the price on the extended warranty. I hadn't bought it yet as my Tesla service guys advised me to wait since I had until the warranty expired. I like my car, but I must admit I've been a little disappointed with...

    Front Louvers

    Sort of like the radiator in an ICE they are for cooling the batteries. They stay closed most of the time. If you want to see them work, I've noticed that when you first plug the car into charge they frequently will open and then close again a few minutes later. It's part of the Christine...

    New Jalopnik hit piece? Fair and balanced?

    I'm not sure how I feel about Jalopnik just cut and pasting our comments from this site like that. I'm not a social media expert, but isn't there some sort of copyright issue here? We may have no rights to our comments but I would think this site does and I doubt "teslamotorsclub" gave them...

    Best Car in The Doctor's Lot

    Here at my hospital in San Diego I'm already one of three Model S owners...and soon to be one of eight! The Tesla is very popular down here.

    Model S Exterior: Paint Armor

    When I received my car I was surprised to find this out. They did change to a kit with less coverage, but that was after I finalized and I was never notified. I had called around to installers and then purchased the paint armor thinking it was a deal for such an extensive kit. I kind of feel a...

    How to finance with PenFed quickly without going insane

    It should also be mentioned that PenFed needs 4 business days to get you a check. So the approval letter is a very helpful option.

    Fogging

    Hey, looks like Tesla has 'made it' and is joining the ranks of the big boy automakers. $50 for a $5 net for $100k car. Congratulations Tesla!

    Teslinsomnia

    It's so great to have this forum and all of you, my fellow Tesla Atics! I got my delivery window on Wednesday and felt silly that I couldn't get to sleep that night. Glad to know I'm in good company!

    Any tall Model S owners yet?

    Im 6'1" and paid a lot of attention to this. It's been said many times that the pano roof adds more than an inch of headroom. I have no problem driving a non pano Model S. Unless you wear a hat or have a LOT of hair it won't matter much. Besides, most people recline their seat a little when...

    Tesla Model S App and a Built in Router

    I do think there will be a way to locate the car on the App. I recall seeing in a video many months ago where a Tesla Employee was demonstrating the app and you could see the Model S moving around on the map on the IPhone. Tesla Model S Beta phone app - YouTube Exclusive: Tesla Model S iPhone...

    Warranty/Servicing - official Tesla responses (incl GeorgeB)

    I appreciated GeorgeB's communication with us. And I applaud Tesla for simply being straightforward with their customers. We are not unreasonable people. All we ask as loyalists/early adopters is a little communication. We want to love Tesla. We share their vision and we want them to succeed. I...

    First experiences with our Model S (Dadaleus' story)

    Thanks again to Dadaleus. I just got back from seeing his Model S in person. It was great to see a real world Model S. Dirt and all! :biggrin: He's been really great about letting us all share in the excitement around the arrival of his Model S. Two things I noticed which I hope are helpful to...

    Range and cost calculator

    I haven't seen this posted before, so I apologize if I'm reposting. Mostly for people with SDGE/PGEC in Southern California, but I think very helpful for anyone. This calculator lets your download your electric company's 'Green Button' data and see how adding an EV (including the Model S, and...

    First experiences with our Model S (Dadaleus' story)

    Dadeleus Saw you driving by Panera yesterday. Looking good! From where I was, it appeared you were 'enjoying' the torque. :)

    Model S Service Contracts - the poll edition(tm)!

    I just don't see why Tesla allows this confusion, speculation, misinformation in the first place. Sure things will probably work out, but why let us stew in anger for 3 days and 36 pages in just this one thread alone. - - - Updated - - - I couldn't have said it better. +1

    Model S Service Contracts - the poll edition(tm)!

    I would agree...but then this is just the sort of thing Tesla needs to come out and say. Instead of just saying 'oh we weren't clear, of course we'll update your software for free' they let us post 10 pages of blog posts about "will they won't they".

    Model S Service Contracts - the poll edition(tm)!

    There's nothing really to be said, that someone else hasn't already said. But I too have a sense of disappointment over this whole service thing. It's just the last straw. I'm not canceling my car. I'm going to hold out hope that when the dust settles and we finally do get more details about...

    Latest "Finalize your order" date

    This is unsubstantiated, so I don't want to fuel rumors. I was at my Tesla store talking to the manager and he sort of put it this way... you have 30 days to finalize before "deferring" But the sooner you finalize, the better, and the sooner you'll see your car. Tesla is planning the batching...

    Advice on Finalizing Your Order

    I was making the HUGE change of going from Silver 21s to the Gray 21s on my Performance model. No cost difference. Given that I've seen some of the earlier reservation numbers be a little schizophrenic with changing their options back and forth I wanted to let everyone now that Tesla seems to be...

    Advice on Finalizing Your Order

    Just got off the phone with the 'configuration specialist'. I wanted to change an option on my order and they were surprisingly resistant to making any change now the my MVPA was signed (signed last Thursday). I just thought I would pass this along to everyone since previously it seemed Tesla...

    Model S Exterior: Paint Armor

    It's been said before, but let me be one more to say that I have had 2 cars with this paint protection and have never had any problems with fading or otherwise. It is very telling that pretty much everyone who has had this on a car says they would always put it on every car the purchase from...
