Getting my P3D in two weeks, and need to line up some detailers to get her looking the way I want. Does anyone have any recommendations in Cincinnati? I'm looking to get the following done: - Windows Tinted - Chrome Delete - Front Bumper PPF - Ceramic Coat Thanks, Dave

Sorry if this is listed elsewhere, I attempted a search but couldn't find anything definitive. I hit some road debris in my 2012 P85 and it will require some body work to the front end. Since the bumper will be off, I figure this would be a good opportunity to retrofit to the new bumper style...

Hey gang, I have a 2012 P85, purchased on January 10th, 2013. I just received my property tax bill (eek!), and since they did not have a value for the car in the books, they're taxing me for 10% less than the MSRP. My thoughts are that the car is worth quite a bit less than that...

So we have a company policy that for any real road trip we are supposed to rent a car instead of expensing our mileage. It ends up being cheaper for the company to do this. In reality, very few people do it however. They usually use their personal vehicles and expense all the mileage...

Does anyone have any thoughts about how bad it is for the battery to stay at 100% charge for a day or so? I asked the service center to look at my declining rated range while it was in, and I noticed with the remote app that they charged it to 100% to verify and then let it sit there for over...

If I have my temperature set to 70 degrees and then tell the car to preheat - it will get quite toasty. It seems to ignore the temperature setting and keep on heating regardless of what I have it set at, often reporting temperatures up to 80 degrees. Does everyone's car do this, or is...

Has anyone replaced their window wipers on their own yet? Any recommendations on sizes and what brands to buy? I did not buy the wiper/brake pad replacement plan, but am curious if anyone has bought them directly from Tesla and what the charge was? Lastly, I've heard of people using some...

Anybody else get this? I've been trying to follow the recommended battery management practices - only charging to what I need that day. On days that I know I won't be going far, I only charge to 60%. On mixed days, I'll typically do 75%. So I knew I would be driving all over town...

I am experiencing the following issues with the Android app on my Samsung Galaxy S4: - Charge Limit Slider has completely disappeared This started happening after the 5.8.4 update. When I rebooted the car, it magically reappeared in the app. However it has since disappeared again, and...

For the record, my wife noticed it and called me over to verify. :)

I need to go to Ft Wayne next week for work. Does anyone know of hotels or other facilities that offer charging nearby? Any experience with the Nissan dealership up there if I could grab a hotel near to them? Thanks! - Dave

Can someone please share with me a detailed experience of how your car starts up with the Energy Savings feature turned on? I want to see if my experience is typical or not, and find out how it is supposed to work. For me, the moment I open the door the 17" screen is on and playing the radio...

Had to get a rental for work this week. Too far to take the Tesla to St. Louis. :( Some sort of Buick. It was actually the most luxurious car I've driven. Things I really liked that I didn't know I was missing: Blind spot detection ( really liked this ) Auto sensing cruise control Way...

Cincinnati Store Tesla Motors to open first store in Cincinnati?: EXCLUSIVE - Cincinnati Business Courier Looks like Cincinnati will be getting a store! Of course selfish me would rather have a service center since I already have the car... :)

Does anyone else notice the car limiting acceleration during and shortly after a hard corner? In my old car (Infiniti G37S), if I floored it while making a sharp turn I would get a satisfying squeal of the tires, my back end would slip out a bit, and I'd have full acceleration throughout the...

Is there a process to suggest / request Supercharger locations? I'm sure if there was that Tesla would be inundated with people asking for locations, but perhaps they would fine the info useful. Personally, I was somewhat disappointed not to see a location between Cincinnati and Indianapolis...

I need to go to Kansas City for work next week, coming from the Cincinnati area. Looks to be about 600 miles one way. My choices are to fly, take our second vehicle (minivan!), or take the S. I am leaning towards taking the Model S since I hate flying, and can't bear to be apart from her for...

Anybody else have brake guilt? Normal, conservative driving means you shouldn't have to use the brakes at all. Just regen to slow down and stop. I however, can't resist driving a tad faster, and therefore find myself having to use the brakes more often. Then I feel waves of guilt for having...

I plan to own my Model S for as long as possible. I do NOT plan on replacing the battery, and after it loses it's long distance capabilities, I plan to make it our "around town" car, and direct any battery replacement funds to the latest and greatest thing for our second vehicle. As such, I am...

This is just a silly post, but as I watched my wife drive off via the Tesla app, I almost forgot I was looking at the cached Google maps. How cool would it be to have a LIVE satellite feed? I'm upset I can't see the other cars on the street / parking lot in real time. I would like to be able...

Just got my Model S! She's been plugged into the brand new 50 Amp circuit for about two hours. Since it is a new circuit, I went around checking the connections for anything out of the ordinary. I noticed the new circuit breaker in the panel is slightly warmer than the rest of them. Is this...

My Model S comes tomorrow!! I'm so excited! I'm staying home from work to take delivery of the car. Unfortunately it's back to work in Indianapolis on Thursday (about 150 miles from where I live), and I will not have my winter tires yet. What are your thoughts on making the trip with the 21"...

I need to take a 5 day trip to Indianapolis (from the Cincinnati area) on Thursday. I should have plenty of juice to make it, but I'll need to charge up for my daily driving and the trip home. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of public chargers and/or hotels with charging...

How crazy am I? I live just south of Cincinnati, OH, and have been researching Tesla since this spring. I was intrigued and decided to get a Reservation back in June. What the heck, it's refundable, right? I'm a frugal guy. Maybe I'll pay up front for this fancy car to save money on gas...

I live in KY, and just realized that if I end up buying my Model S for around $85K, I will be looking at roughly $1000/year in property taxes on it. Does anyone else live in a state that charges this tax? Do you also find it hard to stomach or am I just too cheap? I had talked myself into...

I'm a rather late reservation holder (9,500) that is counting the costs for the Model S. Maintenance, delivery fees, electrical work, etc are all starting to add up, so I'm trying to cut back where I can. Which brings me to this question: My garage has already been wired by the previous...
