I recently got my Model S back after six months in the body shop for some major reconstruction after a crash. The windshield around the rearview mirror has the same sort of distortion as the bottom; though it actually seems worse. I had the body shop replace it, but the "new" one has the same...

With the massive heat wave covering the western US, wondering how the battery life is faring for everyone. I noticed a decent drop during the time it was parked in the heat, but I wasn't paying that much attention to give accurate numbers. I know the AC is hitting it hard, but curious what you...

When I got my car, wiping the top of the dash with a microfiber cloth caused the screen to go haywire and activate everything from the sunroof to seat warmers. A few others on the forum have seen it too, but it is not a universal problem. I told service about the issue but was just given the...

I frequently "missed" hitting the button to open the garage door when the car was in motion, instead opening up the settings for homelink. The other day I added a second homelink button for the other garage door, but never activated it. Nice side effect is that the settings button is now...

So ya think getting the center clue on the Wednesday NY Times crossword counts as advertising? :)

When I got my car a few weeks ago, there was a quarter sized spot on the hood that didn't shine the same was as the rest. I didn't think too much of it. I just finished washing my car (for the third time), and I now notice there are 4 more spots like this. It seems that bird poop is really...

Charging in Folsom today and the dead bushes are all being ripped out. The workers have Tesla handwritten on their name tags and the guy told me that Tesla wanted them ripped out because they are ugly. Pretty funny. So enjoy the improved view if you stop by. Hopefully some new plants are on the way.

I have to go into very high mode to get into my garage (steep downhill). A couple of times, it has complained that the air suspension was too high when I got back in the following morning. Something to worry about? Should I be lowering it after parking? That would be a pain, and I suspect I'd...

Car was running, at stop light. Passenger dusted the top of the dash with a microfiber cloth. AC goes off, panel dims, and then the sunroof opens! (No touching the screen) Repeated attempts led us to conclude that a recirculating air sensor causes the AC to go off, and that much is reproducible...

There is a very noticeable warping of the view across the bottom half inch of the front windshield. I'm assuming this is "normal", but just want to see if other people have the same thing.

Just took delivery yesterday at the factory in Fremont (blue 85 w/pano). Got to take a tour, and the factory was doing some work even though it was the weekend. Very impressive to see the aluminum blanks get made into parts with those big Schuler presses. Moves pretty fast, and the factory floor...

My work offers three or four free charging spaces in the parking lot. Given the range of the Model S, must I leave these for the Nissan Leaf and Ford Focus owners? Or first come, first served? (There's a Chevy Volt too, but I wouldn't feel bad about taking their slot given the gas generator).

I'm due to make my color selections and haven't ever seen a blue one (the store only had brown, black, gray, and silver). Not sure I can dive into blue without seeing it first. If anyone has taken delivery of one and wants to show it off...
