Has anyone managed to get on a factory tour at short notice? I emailed nasales and am waiting a response.

I emailed "[email protected]" and my email was bounced back from [email protected] saying it was undeliverable, and to check the address. I called Tesla and they said check the address and try again... is this the correct address? I have a good friend in town and he has asked...

yes... our first long trip, with a heavy load and a dog as well.

So has anyone done the St. Charles to Independence run or the reverse? I am going NYC to SFO next week on I-70 and this looks like the most challenging part.

I am driving up to an event at the Kennedy Center from southern MD after driving there from NJ. I'll stop in Newark DE to supercharge on my way south. I thought if I could get close to 200 mi. in DC during the event I would be set to return to southern MD and then back home through Newark...

I am going to be doing a road trip which will involve driving into DC from Southern Maryland and back after the trip down from NJ. It probably won't work without a quick charge somewhere in DC that night. Any ideas? The Woodbridge SC is on the opposite side of town.

what do you have to do to get this to work? I put in two points and pressed update, and the map did nothing... it showed some random trip in colorado... Do you have to sign in or donate?

I'll take one of the kits when they are available.

I have also noted poor performance in temperature modulation. Yesterday I took a long drive (it's below freezing here) and I set the heat at 70 in AUTO mode. after about ten minutes, the cabin was still cold, so I increased the setting to 72. And so on, every six or seven minutes, until I...

same here.

Won't be long before Mark will be buying one I think... could see the look in his eye...

Great writeup Captain! Wanted to meet you at the SC to see you off, but had to work. One of these days Susie and I will do the road trip to FL... Enjoy the ride.

I was at the Fremont factory for a tour last week (very cool) and saw this Model S in the parking lot with an interesting wheel design, have never seen this wheel option before:

Wonder how much weight that would add to the already heavy car... There are performance impacts.

off topic but: agree on the moderation. Best moderated forum that I have seen. I've left more than a few that needed better moderation.

A petition... Really? Wow.

Elon's willingness to extend the warranty on the fire issue and other steps he has taken pretty much show that he's willing to "put his money where his mouth is"... In other words, he could not be more committed to the success of creating an affordable electric vehicle. Would he "personally"...

I was given a whole "new" set at my last service call... they threw them in the trunk in the wrapping. I looked carefully and could not tell them apart from the "old" set. So now I have three sets since I just installed the weather techs...

The fact that Elon has extended the warranty to cover damage due to fire, even if the fire is a result of driver error, pretty much says it all... That shows commitment, competence, and confidence. I for one am not concerned. I will wait to see what happens next. So far, I think Elon and...

Happens to me a lot.

superglue to the rescue! All better.

no worries. I have learned not to use the high pressure setting on the self service car wash but I certainly don't feel like I was neglectful or abusive. I'm pretty sure Tesla service will deal with this issue fairly as they have with most other customer issues reported here. If you look...

Wow, really? Not exactly what I would call "intelligent design."

That's what I was afraid of. I could not tell how it was attached, but the part itself could not cost much. It is just a small piece of molded plastic. Do you have some experience with this you can share? Is it user replaceable?

While washing my Model S at the local "touchless" self-service car wash, a piece of plastic on the roof departed the car. I was using the high pressure wand to soap the car, and the plastic cover for the roof rack attach point flipped up and broke off. It appears that the two plastic arms on...

Learned a long time ago when it comes to uniforms and badges, give them plenty of respect whether they deserve it or not. Life is too short for proving points...

Pulled over today on Rte. 23 in NJ by the West Milford police. 2 cars, both female officers. Asked for DL, registration and insurance. When I asked if there was a problem, they said, "you are not displaying an inspection sticker." I replied, "Officer, this is an electric vehicle and it is...

Service told me not to worry that I would be getting an update soon enough. Everything is working great anyway

voted for red logo on black, but I would really like the black logo on red...

I have vin 9416, may delivery. Got the update notice around the first week of June, and decided to delay it while I watched the reports on those who installed it. Last week, I finally decided to install it. After the "countdown" I got a message that said "unable to install update" or some...

I am planning a road trip up to the Kingston/Woodstock area... Recargo shows a J1772 at the Kingston Nissan, anyone know of other charging locations nearby? Tks.

took delivery MAY 7. 1166 mi.

Yup. Your car? Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2

So my wife drops me and and my son-in-law at the movies and says she's going shopping at the mall and will pick me up when the movie is over. Movie over, we call the wife, and she says, "pouring rain, don't want to go to the parking lot, just wait." So SIL and myself look out the windows and...

So I am a little confused. I just got back from an out of town trip yesterday and when I started my S85, I got a notice that there was an update ready. I elected to update later, since I was leaving to run some errands. This morning when I got in the car, I got a notice that said that it...

dropped by Springfield NJ distribution center this week, no notice, since I got a Tire Pressure System warning while driving, and I was close by. Tech got right on the case, no paperwork involved, just a quick interview. Took the car into the service area and fifteen minutes later I had it...

The visors only need to be about a half or 3/4 inches lower to block sun for 99% of folks. Something I thought of was that if there was a piece inside a sleeve that could be pulled down that would work, then we wouldn't have to use binder clips and cardboard, and it would not be in the way when...

So why would a larger visor be a problem? I routinely rotate the visor so that it cuts off just enough visibility to block direct sun. This angle varies with the angle of the sun above the horizon. If you are tall, and the visor extends below your desirable field of vision, why can't you just...

As a 5'7" driver, I can appreciate that you want visibility. A sunvisor that is wide enough so that it's lowest rotation blocks the sunglare when the sun is at 10-20 degrees above the horizon should not negatively impact your visibility. You just rotate it until it's high enough not to...

Perhaps you are over six feet tall, or perhaps you are in the habit of wearing a ball cap while driving. In any case, I can tell you that it is a serious issue for those of us of average height who might want to drive in a westerly direction in the last hours of daylight. I have only been...

Got this response from Tesla ownership experience today: "To clarify, we have heard of this topic previously but at the current time we do not have plans in place to retrofit vehicles with a variation of the original visors. As previously noted, I will most certainly provide your request and...

Based on this post, I decided to check mine as well. Sure enough, I found the same situation. At least four or five seemed to "click" in a little when I pushed down on them. Interestingly, while checking the owners manual for the procedure for opening the fuse boxes, I noticed that there were...

Drove the new car into the afternoon sun for the first time today... Big Negative. Sun visors are totally inadequate. Given, I am under six feet tall at 5'7". But the sun was still 20 degrees above the horizon and it was brutal. I'm going to have to put a ball cap in the car for afternoon...

I just got my red non-P model S. The acceleration is simply amazing, scary fast. Not sure I could really appreciate what the Performance version offers.

Took delivery at the Springfield NJ location today. Pointed out that the license plate brakcket was installed with screws through the nosecone, which I had specifically asked to avoid, and they immediately changed out the nosecone with another one which already had paint armor applied...

derekt75, be sure and email this statement to the proper authorities at Tesla. Perhaps G. Blankenship... Feedback is good.

I prefer sheepskin to any other surface for long term comfort... It's what Boeing uses for flightcrew seats... Anybody know a good vendor?

I have seen several references to measuring 12v system voltage. Can someone explain how this is done? I assume this is not one of the parameters accessible from the touchscreen, correct?

got a call from DS today, car is being painted, delivery between 5/1 and 5/7. Delivery at Springfield NJ Tesla delivery center. VIN 9416

none of what you hear, half of what you see.
