I took mine in and they said the unit cannot be adjusted and they’ve ordered new seats. Clearly a flaw affecting most refreshed S.

Everyone is welcome to their own opinion based on individual experience. In my case, having owned three model S, the yoke is the best part of the experience. I have been disappointed in the full self driving but this is the least fatiguing car I have driven. Obviously it’s something of...

Bought my first Tesla in 2012. Currently own three. Have been using FSD for a number of weeks. Numerous problems and need to intervene. Watched the GM Cruise driverless taxis in San Francisco on various YouTube videos. No issues noted and it is what I expected Tesla to have by now.

Very well said. My experience parallels yours. Watching the Robo taxis in San Francisco run by GM shows what it could. be.

Having been there a number of times, the icing appears to be worse in the evening when the parking lot is almost full with theatergoers . There are spaces but the Tesla spaces have many openings and people somehow justify parking there. I find it really annoying, What if we pulled into a gas...

Want to see a M3? Drop by a California Service Center or Fremont where they are being delivered. When the X first came out, they were lined up in Van Nuys being delivered. Have to believe that within a few weeks that will be true again.

Here you are

I will be going through there early tomorrow afternoon and confirm that it is operating. This is a very nice addition.

The car cover has been sold. Thanks to everyone for their interest.

Please send me an email [email protected]

Sold the MS and have taken delivery of the MX. No rips or tears. Used almost daily. $350 new. Will sell for $150 including shipping. PayPal only.

Took a couple more pictures.

Thanks. Recently purchased a BMW i3 and thought the limit had been reached on all electric cars. That's good news.

Here are some pics. Sorry, I'm technically impaired. I'll see if this works and add more.

In December 2012 I took delivery of my P85 VIN # P01920 which has proven to be the finest car I've ever owned. However, our Model X is being delivered in less than two weeks and this very clean car is for sale. Here are the details: 51,000 miles (almost all highway miles) Blue exterior and...

I have run with a single CA HOV small sticker for three years, no problem until it was stolen a couple of weeks ago. I filed a report with the PD but have decided to not apply for a new set, but put one or two of the large stickers somewhere on the bumper. I don't think that the CHP really...

I think the new nose will accommodate a license plate better. On the S, it looks obtrusive but on the X it will breakup the expansive plane.

That's my car in the entrance and the place was locked but a factory car was parked over the "pit" which is accessed by a metal stairway.

Battery swap about to go live Went through Harris Ranch today and the new battery swap looks ready to go. Here are a couple of pictures.

This was mentioned on the earnings call with no followup questions. Is this a new production line or a body refresh?

About the only "flaw" in the current Model S is the range. It's less than almost all ICE cars. I'm guessing that "D" stands for distance and there will be available on new Model S and X, and hopefully as a retrofit, a battery that increase the range by 100-200 miles, maybe more.

I was an early purchaser, loved the car then and now. However, I had all manner of problems to the point of trying to negotiate a swap for a new one without the issues. Once they admitted that the early units had defects we focused on getting them fixed and the last 5,000 miles are what I had...

At least one of the Edmunds problems had nothing to do with a "cable" but the 12V battery. It bricked on a freeway on-ramp. I know the driver.

At the end of the day, consumers can still buy Teslas on-line or at "galleries" like Texas or in stores in other states. The momentum is too strong for a few silly states who attempt to stop it or force it into their own track. Probably the nastiest thing they could do is not let Teslas drive...

Time for the truth I have finally come to the realization that my Model S is the finest car or almost any thing I have ever owned and I love it: however, the first few thousand were really not ready for prime time. They were beta tests and I've had most of the problems you have noted above...

I travel SF/LA/SF on 5 south and 101 north. These trips are generally twice a month. In the past six months, I've never waited at Harris Ranch, Tejon, Buelton, Atascadero or Gilroy. Often there are no other Teslas present. Seems like at these locations over-crowding is a long way away.

Tesla Model S is the most fun you can get for $110,000. :smile:

As I recall there was a price increase 1.1.13 which is about the time when the superior equipment was being used. I wonder if the two matters are related.

It appears there is nothing concrete to report in Vegas. Correct?

Was pleased to see that the retail store at The Villages of Corte Madera is being accompanied by six new charging stations. They were being installed today (12.13.13) and probably operational in a week. They will be used for demo cars plus available to owners on a first come basis or so I was...

What's up with Gilroy? About a month ago I used one of the superchargers and noted concrete pads and conduit for about eight additional units. Last week one of the four "operating chargers" was coned-off and nothing had been done on those not yet installed. Three operating units has to be a...

I'm betting that Tesla Motors is all over this. We should know soon exactly what happened. In the meantime, it's interesting to speculate but that's all it is. Reporters and analysts scour the TMC Forum for information, so, when someone really knows what occurred it may very well be here, first.

Kind of like the Harley wave which is NEVER given to any other bike than a Harley or custom chopper. Can't imagine acknowledging a Leaf, but, then, it's my Harley days showing.

About four months ago, Harris Ranch was down entirely for six-eight hours. - - - Updated - - - My experience, also.

Absolutely get adjustable air suspension. The Tesla is low and you will definitely want to use it going in and out of driveways and otherwise. Best decision I made.

Yesterday the entertainer's Jag caught fire and exploded on the 101 near Calabasas. He's fine, the car destroyed. It occured to me that if it had been a Tesla the NY Times would have put it on Page 1.

Space X is private and doing very well, we assume, and it has money and can raise capital. It contains some of the brightest minds on the planet, we assume. Elon Musk is the CEO and has a brilliant track record of creative thinking and execution. Hyperloop is a game changer in mass...

The whole California "bullet train" concept seemed like a boondoggle to me. Politicians like to put people to work and will find the money to fund "bridges to nowhere". Along comes Elon who was offended by the concept of a fast train and its cost. Do you know anyone who would take a train to...

I followed Tesla from before the roadster. When the Model S was announced, I put-up my $5,000 and got in line. When the Model X was announced, I bought stock in the company. I've now owned the MS eight months and it's certainly the finest car I've ever owned or driven, notwithstanding some...

Most of the cars I've owned have had low front ends. As a result, I have always chosen the option to raise the height of the car and only made the decision to buy the Tesla when I became aware of the air suspension option. At superchargers and elsewhere I have seen Teslas pulled in until their...

I didn't want to put all three decals on my CA Tesla. Talked to DMV in Sacramento and was advised the ticket would be "equipment" not moving violation if pulled-over. So far, I haven't had a problem. I think the CHP have plenty to do without stopping a car that obviously has paid the fee for...

This is HUGE. Will miss Harris Ranch beef but not I-5. Will be testing this next Tuesday.

The comments I get are almost universally positive. The questions tend to be: How much did it cost? (I tell them it's all in the website.) How far does it go between charges? Do you worry about running out of juice? (No problem if you can do arithmetic) Do you like the car? (It's the perfect...

I think the Gilroy location was an unwise choice. It's in a commute zone and, having been there a number of times, it appears to me that many are locals just topping off. Couple that with cars left there while shopping makes for an unnecessary jam-up for people on trips. This is not true of...

Here's an excellent update from a Porsche blog: Porsche 914E Electric Conversion: Atascadero Tesla Supercharger Station - - - Updated - - - I just talked to Rabobank and was advised the SC are installed and expect to be powered "this weekend". Looks like it is very close.

I bet that's it. Sorry to raise hopes, including mine. A service center is going in SB and hopefully a supercharger follows.

Location? Address is 66 E. Victoria St. May be a sales office but the icon is new. - - - Updated - - - I just checked the monitor again and touching the icon again and it moves to a navigate icon giving the address. The software is 4.5 - - - Updated - - -

Just noticed a supercharger icon on the Tesla map (on the car monitor) in Santa Barbara California. There has been no announcement and I wonder if this is for real?

Harris Ranch supercharging problems Yesterday we arrived at Harris Ranch and there were 4 Teslas there. I was told that the entire new supercharger system was down. Tesla service had advised that a Tech be there in 45 minutes. Fortunately, the supercharger and roadster charger at the Shell...

Posting Your point is well taken. However, there were 5 Teslas there and the one supercharger and one roadster charger at the Shell station were occupied. I wanted to get something out quickly to those who may be heading toward Harris Ranch and, at the time I posted, I wasn't aware that the...
