    How many here actually use the Summon feature on an "almost" daily basis?

    My wife uses daily - summon out and in. She loves it and now I avoid the door dings on the P85 parked next to X

    Brake pedal play / rattle when lifting off pedal...

    I have this issue as well from the beginning. I had it mentioned to Portland SC few times but they did not have a solution. Glad that they opened a case on this. For me, this issue is quiet annoying and I can hear it pretty loudly while driving. I hope they find a solution soon. I am in for...

    Random Model S sightings

    It was definitely not a wrap. I inspected it very closely and it had metallic paint. In real, I didn't like it as much. The owner admitted that on hind sight, he would have chosen a different color as it attracts attention (possibly not favorable attraction).

    Compact Space Saver Tire/Wheel Solution

    I did not want to take a chance with a less than perfect spare tire with all the torque from the motor and getting software messages. I was worried about ABS, traction control and other issues. I did not have time to test this out yet. I found 145/80/R18 wheel & tire on E-bay sold by LKQ for...

    Sighting in CA. Custom color. Talk to the owner but couldn't get info as to how this happened. I heard that a purple one was just done for the guy that wrote/produced Game of Thrones!

    Compact Space Saver Tire/Wheel Solution

    JST - Thanks for all the work you have done to solve this problem. I took a drive to CA and back (1500 miles round trip) this past weekend and took your suggestions to have the spare kit for peace of mind. I did not have to use it but having it made me drive without worries. Attached you will...

    Random Model S sightings

    Visited Paris Tesla - took my distributor. They are shipping 10-12 Tesla's per month they said! See last picture - for the EU cars, charge indicator is outside the charge port. I did not know this. Also visited Zurich Tesla shop - fun to talk to people - enthusiastic high energy Tesla people...

    Sighting of a beautiful Blue 21" silver P85 in Zurich. Could not reach phone fast enough to take a pic. It came back around second time as I was talking to my distributor and no chance of pic again.

    I wanted a little more of a "stealth" look

    I also would like to know how you got the red T and the red Tesla letters in the back. I bought stickers but they don't hold up well especially when you wash the car. It also doesn't stick well on a clean shiny slippery chrome.

    pete8314's Key Fob Cover

    Just got them. Like it a lot. I took out the cheap al key holder and replaced with black lanyard.

    Cost of repair crazy high

    I agree with Yobigb20. you have to be extra careful with Tesla authorized's shops sometimes taking advantage of the situation and the excuse of saying "this is a special expensive car". I had a minor scratch and dent on my car and the local authorized shop wanted to charge me $7,000+ (no parts...

    State Farm Dropped My Insurance

    I have SF and my rates are $511/6 mo's ($1K Ded). Your rate should consider # of cars, home owners discounts, good driving, teenager in the mix, etc. I have all those and still a good rate. I have had SF for 20 years and they have been good. I switched to Costco Ameriprise last year before I...

    Volume Button on Center Screen

    Ken830 - you are right. Yesterday I switched back and forth between camera app and any other app, and yes the volume numbers disappear with the camera app. Looks like it is the camera overlay issue which I had no clue about. Thanks and looks like mystery solved.

    Volume Button on Center Screen

    I don't know of any overlay issues. As you can see in the pic below in my first post, you can see that the lower screen does not have the camera app on. The pic shows one of the times when the volume numbers show up. I will send a pic when the volume numbers does not show up later.

    Decreasing rated range.

    I did two max range charges at Woodbury supercharger after my 5.8 upload. Both times I didn't get over 248 miles. As soon as I started driving, lost 5 miles of charge in less than 2 miles - standard (no high speed) starting and on freeway soon. Drove 32 miles and lost 45 miles of charge. I...

    Volume Button on Center Screen

    The numbers and blue bar shows up sometimes but not all the time. I have tried several up or down arrows. This issue is only on the center screen volume button. It comes and goes. I tried on AM/FM radio, vs slacker, vs Bluetooth etc but can't pin point when the issue occurs. Scroll wheel...

    Volume Button on Center Screen

    I have been noticing that when you use the volume button on the center screen (bottom right corner), the numbers don't appear all the time. Some time you can see the volume numbers going up or down and other times it does not. Anyone noticed this and is there a setting to show the numbers all...

    Sighting at the Woodburn supercharger. Red, Silver and Blue. Blue is mine - just that day changed from 21" to 19" snow tires. Rides completely different. I feel 21" responded better but 19" has better grip (with snow tires)

    Today I saw a Grey P85 with grey wheels and CF in Dusseldorf, Germany. Could not take a pic - too fast. My first sighting of Tesla outside of US. It looked awesome among Audi's and BMW's.

    Anyone else experiencing "Driver's Foot"

    I don't have plantar fasciitis but I have noticed pain on my right leg by calf muscle and underside of my thigh. I started noticing this a month after I got my Tesla. There are couple of seat positions (sitting low and back) that seems to be better but the pain comes and goes. I have not found...

    Must be Red Tesla day today. What are the odds of seeing the same exact car on the same exact location in the same direction within 2 hours? I also ran into another P85+ MC Red. Exchanged greetings and talked about license plate mountings!

    Negative response from strangers and other stupid things people say

    Interesting story Mike. I think your response was quite admirable. Thanks for your volunteer service. For the most part, like yours, my experience is 99.9% is highly positive and fun. I have had a guy in a big pickup truck give me a thumbs down (I smiled as I drove past) and another guy gave me...

    What is this new dashed line?

    When my battery level gets below certain low levels such as 40 miles and below, a new dashed yellow line appears. This goes away after charge and comes back again at low battery levels. What does this mean? If this has been discussed already, apologies and please point me in that direction...

    Major accident for me tonight (5/26) (New P85 arrives 7/8)

    Gasdoc - glad to know you and everyone are doing ok. That is the most important thing. Lots of emotions go through and your mind thinks about every nano second of what you could have done differently. Cars can be replaced. You have a great sense of humor about it to get through.

    Tesla Tire Repair Kit details

    I purchased the Slime kit from Amazon and had it in the car. 3 days later I had a flat tire (21" wheel) - rear passenger side. A 1 " long metal went through it. The slime kit with the pump was super easy to use and inflated my tire back to right pressure - all in less than 10 mins. Drove to...

    Car Care: Controlled experiment - test gloss and durability of the top paint finishes

    They took pics and posted the process they used on my car. I hope this gives you some information. I don't have the names of all the compounds they used. It involved clay bar, buffing and polishing. They had to measure paint thickness to ensure they did not over buff in thin paint areas...

    Two week trip - leave the Model S plugged in or not?

    I travel a lot mostly overseas for 1 to 2 weeks at a time. You should leave it plugged in. I checked with my DS and he also recommended leaving the car plugged in.

    Does your Model S scrape on speed bumps?

    Never scrapped any speed bumps and have not worried about it. At some streets on my way home, there are speed bumps with gaps in between (NW Cornell - Portlander's know it). I drive with my wheels going through the gaps and still no scraping.

    iPhone App: When is Internal Temp Displayed?

    I am traveling and my car is fully charged and sitting in the garage probably sleep mode as well. It is plugged in. I can still see the interior temp (I am on 4.2 as week). When I turned on the climate and off again, interior temp has been showing all the time.
