    Wall charger dead on arrival? (No lights, no nothing)

    hello Tesla community! I had an electrician install a wall charger yesterday, and the thing just is not working. Background- I had a perfectly functional NEMA 14-50 outlet. He wired the wall charger in the same spot. The dude never tested the wall charger once installed (I was at work). When I...

    Best supercharging road trip strategy?

    We are going to be making a trip from Portland to Disneyland this summer, with a stop over in SF. Before reading this thread I was assuming we should be driving slow and conservative to maximize charge between Superchargers. Now I see the light! Quick question- are there any legs that are...

    Interior is nice, however...

    I prefer the MS interior to that cheesy (the wood!), dated (the buttons!!) design. I am glad Tesla decided to be more revolutionary with the interior and not just put out another cluttered mess.

    Oregon Superchargers (location speculation, discussion)

    Now that iOS 7 has been released, Tesla has to move it on the update!

    4.5 months, my in-app car is still the wrong color

    I know, this is totally a first-world problem, but I wish my in-app car pic was red instead of silver. Do any owners have their multi-coat red car display properly in the app?

    What sets Tesla apart from the rest

    The point was, I think, that it's unfortunate that some folks are using the Superchargers as their daily top-off because they live near one. Those stations are designed for folks traveling long distances. When someone abuses them, not only are they causing extra stress on their own battery pack...

    Thank you, for your help -- just placed my order!

    Congratulations! Your build looks great, you won't be dissapointed (my build is the same, save the parking sensors... and the colors).

    Charging in Bend

    That's great! Dubious as a parking spot, especially over night. Anyone contact the Oxford about usage? We made the drive out to Bend over July 4th weekend, smooth and stress-free trip. My friend had a 30 amp plug just inside his garage, so I was able to charge with an extension cord and...

    Argelius: Questions before placing my order.... tell me what I should change!

    Coming from a 370z which scraped the driveway (unless I cut the wheel just right and took it super slow), I started putting the MS's air suspenion in high or highest. After a few times forgetting and not having an issue, I don't bother any more. The fact that I scraped the Z all the time was...

    I had a perfect delivery experience

    I reserved in November '12. Took delivery April 30, 2013. I would have had the car even earlier, but opted for Multi-coat red paint. Config- 85 kWH, tech package, air suspension, pano roof, black leather interior, mattte obeche trim. Nothing on the due bill.

    I had a perfect delivery experience

    Just read another thread where the griping about a production delay made it sound like Tesla had no idea how to run a business or communicate with their customers. You'd think by the replies that this was a common problem. I have a confession-- I had a perfect delivery experience. My car was...

    Can any website provide turn-by-turn directions for non-tech Tesla?

    I'm sorry, but that tacked on screen next to Tesla's big, beautiful center screen is just wrong.

    Lake Jeanclia =/= Portland, OR... dumb Nav....

    It's not a Google map thing. It's from Navigon. Same bug in my LEAF. And I agree about the move... the mods of this forum baffle me sometimes.

    Unplugged by another S owner...

    I guess it would be prudent to indicate not only when your charge is expected to be completed, but if you are timing the initiation of the charge to get your topped off in the morning, you would need to communicate both the start time and expected end time. Having a little laminated card with...

    Lake Jeanclia =/= Portland, OR... dumb Nav....

    /rant This bug drives me crazy and I just needed to vent. BOTH my LEAF and the Model S display Portland, OR as Lake Jeanclia, OR. :cursing::cursing::cursing: It has to be a bug in the Navagon software, as both systems display as such. I wrote an email to Ownership, and I am hoping they can...

    How popular will the Tesla Model S be in the years to come? Like Corolla/Civic/Golf?

    The Model S will never be as 'popular' as a mass market behemoth like the Corolla or Civic. The Gen III might, as the trends move us toward an all EV future, become the car that defines the mid-market EV and becomes as popular as a Corolla.

    Charging Model S using 110 increases range

    Really? I thought the common practice was to use the 14-50 for more efficient charging. I'd like to see something official that states, basically, use the slowest charging you can get away with.

    Refreshing Traffic

    Ran into this issue today. Ran into stop and go traffic on a green-displayed highway. I turned the traffic button off and on and it switched to all red. Not sure if that always forces a refresh, but it worked that time.

    Front under bumper (black plastic lip) scratches / curb rash

    I haven't had an issue with mine. The air suspension is normally high enough to clear the parking blocks at work. Question- why replace it if you are likely to ding the new one, too? The plastic on my previous car (370Z) got CHEWED up, but better the drab piece of matte black hidden plastic...

    Should TSLA use/steal/borrow the Karma design for Gen III?

    I do not think Elon meant the Gen III will look like an Audi or BMW, but rather it would compete in the same class as the 3 series or A4.

    What charging cards should I be signing up for?

    You are going to want to get the cards for the charging networks in your area. Look at Plugshare and see what chargers are in the areas you frequent. Those are the cards you need.

    Some Amateur Advice for Telsa...from a loyal Tesla convert.

    TESLIVE Promotion: You mod A&Es Model S (people's choice design)

    #2! - - - Updated - - - quick question... I figured you guys would know... is there a vinyl wrap that looks like a satin metal (as opposed to the bright chrome on the Model S)? Say, that matches the silver on the wheels. I can't say I'm too fond of the matte black look, but a satin metal...

    Headlight quirk

    This happened to me today, too! I don't think it's anything to worry about. I've had little quirks with the day/night swtiching on my previous car (370Z) as well.

    Disappointed in the media situation so far (No CD player in Model S)

    Buy a flash drive you like the look of/has good reviews on Amazon/has good value, etc (with enough capacity to hold your music... just buy a really big one). Insert into computer. Open iTunes file folder. Find file with all your music. Pull the files you want into the USB drive file folder (I...

    TESLIVE Promotion: You mod A&Es Model S (people's choice design)

    That's my point. I don't check the 'for sale' forums because i don't need to buy a Telsa... I have one already. I do check the major discussion forums because they are relevant to my interests. This post could conceivably live in a currently non-existent 'mods' forum (reasonable place for people...

    Parking Sensor Prototype/Early Look

    Agreed. I find the Model S to be very easy to park. The rear camera is better than any sensor to tell me where I am, and I've gotten used to the front dimensions.

    How could you plug a music amplifier into the Tesla?

    You could use your phone, I imagine. You can get a 1/2" to 1/4" device like iRig and an amp app, then connect the phone to the car!

    Is there a thread for tech vs non tech package discussion?

    Power rear hatch is a nice feature. Personally, one of the real draws to the Model S was the ground-breaking tech. To not go with the tech-package is kind of silly. When new features roll out, you may be kicking yourself that you decided to skip it.

    Is the 85kWh necessary now that we have the expanded Supercharger network?

    My opinion is that battery capacity is the new computer memory. You should always buy as much as you can afford.

    Should TSLA use/steal/borrow the Karma design for Gen III?

    The fact is the Karma is all style with no substance. You can't have a mass market 'every-person's' car like that. The styling cues of the Gen III car will not be stolen from another company. It will look like a Tesla. It will be sexy AND practical.
