It is with a sad heart that my Model S, ElonsD, is a total loss :( I slid down a hill in the snow, and the shop wants $49,000 to fix it, so it looks like insurance company wants to total it out. Sadder than that, my car is a 2015 well optioned P85D with just over 100,000 miles. Given that I...

Hi there, I just found out that I missed the updated referral by a day, and instead of being able to get a nice black wall charger, I instead get a Solar Roof token instead. My roof doesn't need to be replaced for many years, so willing to give this to someone. Would love to trade for a...

I Uber drive with my Tesla in Seattle, and sometimes I can't resist showing off the performance when my passengers ask. Thankfully, with great performance comes even greater brakes!

Hi guys, My first model S was totaled out about a year ago. Can I still order a Model 3 with the same email and cut in line? When I log into the account, I no longer see the car there (both through the app and the website). Anyone know?

My poor P85D (named ElonsD) got backed into today across the side. Looks like damage to both doors and the rear quarter panel. Anyone have a guess for repair time and price? I am guessing 15k repair cost (for fun). Can I insist on a Tesla rental? ;) This is in Seattle. Looks to be most...

Was backing up in a pitch black driveway of a friends house, and didn't see this crazy tree branch. It impaled my tail light, punching a hole in the plastic. I haven't called Tesla yet (I will), but I see the entire housing on ebay for ~$140. Is this something that is relatively easy to DIY...

Suddenly I am getting really poor performance from the UI when using the navigation. On a good day, I wait a minute for addresses to load. Even sitting in front of my house it takes at least 30 seconds for the screen to respond. This wasn't always like this, and didn't seem to happen with a...

Tesla Autopilot saves the day - YouTube Add your own honking and swearing. This was on WA-99.

For some reason the my.Tesla server seems to be down or bogged down. My app won't connect to it, and I can't log in. Of course this happens when I'm at the carwash!

I recently drove my P85D from Seattle, WA to visit my family in Springville, UT. When I was at the SLC supercharger, I remembered that sales weren't allowed to take place. However, in the half hour I was there, I did my part by talking to TWO prospective owners, and answering all the usual...

First time driving our new P85D. Our last car was a 2013 P85. I drove the first one off the lot, so the wife got to drive this one. Didn't intend on making an interesting video. Didn't intend on the P85D being all that different from the P85. Tesla P85D insane mode - YouTube Still grinning.

Due to some budget issues, and not wanting to give up anything, I didn't order my new car with autopilot software. However, due to some viral youtube video revenue, I can afford it sooner than I thought. I was wondering if anyone knew how big of an ordeal it is to add it? Will I need an...

Wrecked my P85 a couple days ago on I5. Came around a bend to a car slowed wayyyyy down because some homeless guy was in the street. Did an emergency lane change, lost my back end, and slammed into a concrete barrier. Was completely unharmed. Wish I could say the same for my car. Took the...

3 miles from supercharger waiting for a tow. Thought there was a 10 mile buffer, but I started shutting down immediately once I hit 0 miles. Totally my fault and my wife is never going to let me live it down :(

Anyone hear this before? When I went to search for a song through voice, I heard this rather startling VERY LOUD noise. It happened once, scared the crap out of me. I tested it, and it happened again. Grabbed my phone and made a video for the third time, and then it's never happened since...

I just recently moved into an old rental house that is not grounded(Electrician confirmed). It has a 50 amp NEMA 14-50 plug being used for a stove in the basement. Will my car accept electricity from this outlet if the house is not grounded? The reason I ask is that if I try plugging into a...

Hey guys, after trying to do the math, and being unable to convince myself one way or the other, I figured I would call upon the help of those that have traveled long distance using superchargers before. I am driving from Seattle, WA to Utah, and taking the long way through California because I...

Hey guys, I took delivery of an inventory model S (3900 miles), and ran over something that punctured the tire on the first day :eek: Very slow leak (TPMS hasn't gone off in two days, and it looks like I haven't lost any real pressure yet). Anyways, the tire needs to be replaced, and I am...

Been following the company (as both a very small investor and enthusiast) for a LONG time now. Finally saved up enough money to get my inventory car. Commuted by bus for years to afford this car! It's a fully loaded P85, but will retrofit to the P85+ when I can afford it. The wait has been...

So I am one of those people that won't have to pay anywhere close to 7500 in taxes due to other credits. However, a family member (my Grandfather) pays quite a bit of taxes a year. If he cosigned a loan on the car with me, could he claim the tax credit for himself, without being on the...

I finally did it. Sold my Audi TT, and am taking the bus while I wait for my Performance +. I am so excited. I am the definition of a stretch buyer... make about 70k a year with my wife (we are young, no kids to feed yet), but every time I saw a Tesla in the Seattle area, I hated my life...

It's kind of sad to me that a touchscreen in a car is so revolutionary, but at the same time, I find myself looking at my new (Acer W700) fully functional Windows 8 tablet with it's own operating system and longing for the day when my car console is actually just a computer. Not a functionally...

Hey I mostly lurk these forums for information, but now I need some help! I am about to reserve my Model S (want to take delivery around/after next Christmas). I am a 24 year old just recently graduated student that makes about 33,000 a year. I'm going to pay 90-100% cash for my Model S...
