I wonder if the car could detect the front end impact and immediately throw the car in reverse!!!. The damn thing goes so fast from 0-3 seconds that even a second (or fraction of) in reverse potentially could decrease the impact! lol....if only all of us MS owners could be thrown in a room...

STRONG DISAGREE HERE! They are making battery operated electric vehicles. The operative word here is BATTERY. Thats like saying BMW continually tuning their engines is them losing focus. Should they just have someone else supply their motors? Tesla provides superior range by using an...

The intelligent ininvestor by Benjamin graham. Tesla definitely qualifies as one of these stocks. If you've really only been doing this for a few weeks and really haven't read anything....then just know this: you are a punk kid (23 years young!!!) who just got incredibly lucky and...

couldn't agree more. this is my first EXPENSIVE car. (I did have a 335i before the MS but before that it was 2 civics and a toyota celica. The 335i was less than HALF of the MS and was a fantastic car!). there was an article a few weeks ago talking about how electric cars are such a...

Lets just preface this story with...today is my birthday! So I go to my car to go to work and handles extend, I open my drivers side rear door, unplug my charger, roll it up and toss it on the floor of rear like I always do every morning. I noticed that the radio was NOT on (as it usually...

I reported this back in feb of this year and my post got ZERO love! I used this trick to leave my radio on while washing my car in the driveway. That was prior to me learning about popping it into neutral and then engaging the parking brake on the touchscreen.

Thinking the same damn thing! About to buy some back....at $103?!?!?!?!? Sigh....another day....another stressful dollar.

SUPERCHARGER ANNOUNCEMENT PRETTY AWESOME IMHO! No real big reaction from wall street (as i figured.....). but a good enough reaction that (I HOPE) the stock shouldn't go down below $100 today again.

Let me echo some of the sentiments I am hearing. Very frustrating (yet very $$$ rewarding) this stock! I am actually day trading so today was a little bit more fun (intraday volatility) but its been way more sell high then buy highER then I like! Doh! Im glad there was a pullback to below...

Battery swapping may or may not be part of the future for BEV, but what I do not understand is how everyone keeps saying it will take X minutes to do a swap (I've heard people say anywhere from 3 mins to 10 mins). Im sorry...but that is completely unreasonable! (NOT impossible....but just...

As a pediatrician working in urgent care I SECOND your sentiments as well!!!! Only time will tell people! And Elon Musk standing behind the batteries should be VERY REASSURING!

Im glad I purchased one! Ive posted on this thread before praising these tire/wheel insurance programs. It pays for itself multiple times over! (It did when I had the tire insurance on my BMW 335). If you bought it you must have a history of getting flats in which case...KEEP IT!!! It's a...

I don't know a shop up there in the Bay....but i did want to give you a helpful piece of advice!!!! YOU CAN ADJUST THE HEIGHT THAT THE LIFT GATE OPENS UP TO! Press the button once to open it and as its moving up press and hold the button at the position you want it to stop. You'll hear a...

Tesla driver was/is Dr. Robert Pettis (ENT). Apparently a Mercedes Benz was also "involved" and caused him to swerve into oncoming traffic. Someone posted something about a coffee cup being thrown. Its all a bunch of conjecture at this point....but it's good to get it all out there...

i completely agree! this has potential to bring the model S TO THE MASSES!!!! company/stock benefits....and so does my stock portfolio! GOOD PART OF MY CAR PAID FOR INVESTING AND BELIEVING IN TESLA AS A COMPANY!!!

Im sorry...WHO EXACTLY said the performance would be upgraded? It's all a bunch of software tricks...so whose to say they don't just limit the performance as well? The software could easily keep it at a 6 sec 0-60 car. (I'm NOT saying that's what they will do...only that they could and...

This is not only a first road trip story but a first DAY story. It seems like first day stories ALWAYS have some hiccups (some more dramatic than others). I know I did too! (Ran around looking for chargers...and after 4th attempt found one with only few miles of range left! Probably doesn't...

Cancel your orders from them. I got the full Matt set from Lloyd's Matt's for $175!!! (They are the luxury ones and are fantastic!!!). The $575 you save can go towards your 3G service! Seriously ...I do want tesla to succeed...but you can't bitch and moan about being nickeled and dimed to...

You might have a nail! I hope you bought the tire insurance! If not...check out your tires real well over the weekend and if you see a nail...buy the tire insurance!

I'll actually be glad to be free of the 3G so I stop browsing the web while driving!!! Highly impressive to be able to have the web on the touchscreen but also plain stupid! Its actually safer to use my phone (since I don't have to lean over to the right to use my phone!!!).

Question: I bought the tire warranty. If I get a flat...can I use a fix a flat can to seal/inflate my tire and then drive it to the tesla service center (or tire shop) to get my tire changed. Or will this void the tire insurance??? I only ask because I would hate to have to wait around for...

The car can do whatever Tesla wants it to do (that's what the software updates are!!!!!). So when ToddR says he wants the app to do it....it's one in the same! First Tesla sends software update to car allowing preconditioning of battery with the app. Then they update the app for the same...

I got the samples and liked the ebony but I showed a few people and everyone said to get the black.... the quality and fit of the Matts are fantastic!!!

The "big screen" controls the whole car! Just b/c the google maps is gone doesn't mean you will stop using it!!! And I much prefer the navigation directions popping up in easy view on the gauge than almost every other car out there where you have to look at the screen in the center console...

What did HE say?

Not sure how you can tell by the picture if your wheels are 19" or 21"..... i did have chrome wheels on my app (before and after the updste) even though I own the gray/smoke colored wheels. I then got the MS 4.3 software update today...and now my app shows the gray wheels!!! the app AND the...

sounds like a no-brainer to me! I just signed up for the $900 Tire/Wheel plan. Thats 4 years of free tires (from road hazards of course....)! These tires are $200 a pop at the cheapest for 21" tires. thats 4.5 tires to break even. I would say going through 1 tire a year is certainly...

I agree with the value statements most have made. 3G for $30 is unreasonable. Im pretty sure the MS is 4G/LTE ready (I recall hearing it has the hardware). I also think people would be almost just as mad if 4G/LTE service costed that much. Smartphone users truly do use a lot of...

Agreed! If you ever lose your keyfob and having been driving ....uh...."aggressively"...then panick....but remember to check the rear seating area! Has happened to me twice (same pair of pants with shallow pockets....) couldnt agree more with the cubby comment either! Makes me want to fork...

Not for a pediatrician! I'd be lucky to get half of that!!!!! doesn't seem fair to compensate me at half that rate to service your baby (human) versus a mechanic servicing your baby (tesla model S)!!! is your child worth more than your $100k MS?!?!?!

I'm sure there eventually will be....but remember that this is a start up. Right now the setup seems reasonable for such a new technology. (Note I said reasonable...not ideal!). It sounds like you do have that "one car". And all around are having a terrible Tesla experience. Sounds like...

And you stayed in the cab!?!?!??

I would get it checked out. Sounds like a fixed issue (happening EVERY time) you make a call which to me suggests its not an issue of cell phone service (unless you have crap service everywhere!). Also if the phone worked great on your last car...the phone is probably all right. That just...

of course...everything will depend on what the temperature is. I'm in Los Angeles so the "cold" here isn't that bad. For me it seems like I get almost every mile back onto the battery :) in harsher climates you will only get a fraction of the list miles back...

Would be exceedingly cool! But given Tesla already has Google maps and Navigon navigation I doubt they are going to allow outside navigation apps. Insert iPhone google maps scandal/debacle here.... if they did allow it I bet a lot of people wouldn't get the tech package (which would cost...

I didn't think it made sense either!!!! (Given how the 40kw battery on the MS still has more range then any other EV...). Thanks for the correction...and sorry to anyone I may have confused (or cost another $10000 convincing you to upgrade!) I'd still say the 60 kw for added range and...

Doug_G: i did NOT know that about the NEMA 14-50 plug!!! I really like gg_got_a_tesla solution (see below). This should very much solve the problem, correct? I am in the same boat with crappy 110V at work. Luckily my outlet is close to the floor so the UMC sits on the floor and doesn't...

Apparently (somebody told me...I didn't hear it myself) Elon Musk himself stated in an interview that each MS owner sells 1-2 MS's (just through word of mouth and exposure). i have likely sold 2....they haven't actually pulled the trigger yet but it's all they can think about!!!! (It's almost...

I only had this problem happen one time and it too was after having washed my car (earlier that day). Having said that...I wash my car weekly (since about x-mas when I for my car) and it only happened the one time. May be true, true and unrelated....(as the old timer expression goes...).

You know I could see how that it could be. They are only going to replace the exact brand/make/type of tire that had the problem. So if you are starting out with nice factory tires....then it makes sense. Otherwise....it may not! I know for my 335i with run flats it def paid for itself...

2 comments. 1st: the trunk def gets more usage than the frunk. This is simply b/c closing the frunk kind of scares me. I feel like with frequent usage the hood may get bent. For such a forward thinking company that is trying to break the traditional car paradigm, I wish Tesla would have...

I too would be interested in this! i had tire insurance on my 335i (which had run flats) and the Insurance paid for itself in less than a year! (I paid for 5 year insurance). Lucky purchase on my part since the run flats on the 335i were later notoriously known to be bubble prone (sidewall)...

What I do is add 5-7 degrees to whatever temperature I want and set the HVAC to that number. (Ie. for 70 I would set to 75-77). couldn't a software update essentially do the same for us? Meaning...take the readout from the thermometer (which must be badly positioned or strangely calibrated)...

Thank you so much for the advice! I'll request samples and I'll try and post some pictures and feedback once the samples come! I hope they paid for the shipping for your exchange....I know some companies are better than others in that regard...

I am trying to decide b/w the Luxi black, dark grey, and ebony colored Matt's for my blue P85 with grey leather. (I actually like the "slate" color but it only comes in the Ultimat (which is lower quality). The dark grey looks awesome but I'm afraid it will get dirty...the black seems so...

While we are asking for a longer timeout for the home link why don't we also ask for larger font on the popup? I'm only 30 years old and I can barely see/click it! I have to say the touchscreen is very good/responsive and is extremely intuitive. Only complaint is that there are some clicks...

Are you sure by pulling the fuse your auto tilt settings weren't just reset? Did you try putting car in reverse and adjusting your mirrors down again? Pop it back into drive and the mirrors should go back up again. By pulling the fuse You just hard reset the GPS (and any other system that...

Thanks for emailing ownership about this! Let me know what they say! Again...only 1-2 seconds so not too worried...but it's a glitch nonetheless and a little software update will likely do the trick.
