    farting noise in "Studio Sound" package - NORMAL!

    so any hip-hop heads out there can probably attest to the, um, lacking audio quality in the "upgraded" stereo system. in particular, there are certain bass frequencies that produce a "pphthhh" sound from the front speakers that sounds very much like a paper-cone speaker that has blown out...

    Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

    UPDATE: nothing wrong with tires or suspension. a disgruntled ex-employee who is (and was) mad jealous of everything about me (yes, it's as creepy as it sounds) came back and emptied my tires and drew that **** in chalk. had nothing to do with the double-parking. anyway, i filed a police...

    Politics - Quarantine Thread

    but... i don't work with uneducated rednecks who post Sarah Palin's latest talking points and pass them off as high-brow libertarian thinking. So how could they have ever seen my humor?

    interesting. what do you mean by "current environment"? the heat wave in the southwest? the litigious nature of our society? the Republican-controlled House of Representatives?

    Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

    update: the tires are fine. Tesla service filled them with air and they have stayed that way. someone emptied my tires on purpose. and because the timing was so close to the rattling from the suspension, i thought they were related and that something was definitely wrong with the car...

    Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

    this is my work building garage. i know exactly what this level of the garage looks like everyday. it's usually at 30% capacity. that's why i park there in the first place. otherwise i'd agree with you. and when i see a nice car double parked somewhere, i don't think it says anything like...

    Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

    haha... i'm just tryin to get from day to day, man... trouble finds ME! btw - what's wrong with double-parking if the garage/lot you are in is EMPTY (and stays empty)? why is that possibly anybody else's concern? i'm tired of people parking next to me and dinging my door. so why is double...

    Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

    thanks. not that i know of. if Tesla calls tomorrow and says the tires were slashed, i'll contact building management. i would LOVE to have caught the guy who painted that crap with the chalk. it's douchy to double park in a crowded lot, yes. it is NOT a "douche" thing to do to double-park...

    don't know about you, but I rarely change any of these settings anymore. if i'm out on a Sunday drive in the mountains, i'll put the steering in Sport, but since that doesn't happen often enough, it pretty much stays: Comfort steering No Creep Standard regen what configuration have YOU...

    Did the Key design change?

    Panoramic roof creaking noise.

    no... the creak happens in both cold and hot. if anything, it increases as temps rise.. - - - Updated - - - i saw someone put the soft side of velcro tape there. that way the belt rubs against that, there is no friction and therefore no noise. (must not look very good tho) i'm almost at...

    NOT TO PANO! I hate to say this, but the constant and incessant creaking from my pano roof is ruining the Tesla experience for me. If I could do it over again, I would get the black solid roof.

    Unlocking the Doors from inside

    just put it in Park. the handles will eject. kept forgetting this when pulling up to a curb for someone to get in. or, they can "press" the handle from the outside and it will eject.
