    firearms storage

    Great thread............so glad to see some Tesla owners who believe in the 2nd amendment! I proudly display my NRA Life Member emblem on the rear of my MS and have gotten plenty of thumbs ups, specifically about the emblem. Some have asked if driving a Tesla with an NRA emblem isn't a...

    Fisker calls out TM on MX delivery

    The Fisker Karma is an interesting, albeit, not anything like the MS. I test drove and considered the Karma, before I even thought about the MS. If you are looking for a "glorified Volt", you have the Karma, although far less practical than the Volt. Buying a MS (early 2013 delivery) was the...

    TSW wheels/Discount Tire

    Before my MS, I have consistently used Discount Tires for all my tire/wheel purchases. Service and flexibility far better than Costco and usually the pricing is better also. The even provide free pressure checks and balancing on my MS and I have yet to purchase any MS tires from them. I highly...

    85D Loaner vs. P85D

    +1 My S85 will serve us well until our X is available. Thankful, my wife is STILL happy with her CLK320. She is patiently waiting for her Model 3. Never another ICE in THIS household :biggrin:

    stevezzzz, I had the same issue with TM and made a big issue out of it, not only on my due bill, but also in an email. If you want to PM, I can share more about how I resolved it.

    Model S Panoramic Roof Sun Shades

    3M Crystalline, 70 hardly noticeable as tinted and gives 50% solar energy rejection............not cheap but worth it. - - - Updated - - - Are you sure you are getting 3M Crystalline for $150 for a Tesla windshield? THAT is a real bargain from what I had to pay up here in Las Vegas for that...

    Model S Panoramic Roof Sun Shades

    Windshield adds huge heat to the car! More than you would ever imagine, but then again, look at the area of that baby. Here in Las Vegas, I tinted the windshield when I got it and the car has been very comfortable. Had to replace my windshield last week and really noticed the effect of no...

    Anyone NOT buying the extended warranty?

    I turned 50k last week, and will probably spring for the extended. Plan to keep the MS until we get the X in two years.

    Touch up pen vs other options...

    Dr Saab, thanks for the tip. The Tesla touch up sticks really suck (and I'm being polite)............. I won't even try anymore touchups since results with the stick is so bad.

    A sad cautionary tale of poor judgement

    I will give rides , but NOBODY (Except my daughter and their husbands.....with me in the car) drives my Tesla. Verify and DON'T TRUST! Glad you are okay. I feel sorry for you , man! Thanks for sharing.

    Anti-EV / anti-Tesla advertising from competitors

    I have driven and owned Lexus GS's only, since 1993..............NO MORE! Model S is a far superior car!!! Sold on Tesla and will never go back..................and I am sure I am not alone :) Model X reserved.

    Massively ICE'd

    I applaud your patience, and like the idea of an announcement about bashing a window and moving it. Unfortunately, I would threaten, but I would not destroy any of the MOFO's stuff. Hopefully, the threat would cause the guy to identify himself and then the confrontation would begin:cursing...

    Virginia DMV - Excessive Charges

    Virginia looks pretty reasonable from sunny Nevada! My second year registration, including personalized plates is $1625, which includes a $294 supplemental tax for an EV!! Considering I saved almost $4k on gas the first year, I am not complaining :wink:

    Black Hills Tesla Rally

    Thanks, Cottonwood ................looking forward to meeting you and exploring your southern Colorado route to Denver. Probably not in June, but perhaps in the fall on the way to C-Springs for some Air Force football.

    Black Hills Tesla Rally

    Thanks for the pixs and tips. We are heading to Chicago from Las Vegas in mid June and planning to follow the available Supercharger route thru the Black Hills. Will definitely plan an overnight in Custer.

    Housekeeping At SuperCharger

    Gee, I consider Tesla owners a cut above your average American slob. Tesla shouldn't be expected to do any more than they already are regarding Superchargers. We need to be responsible and take care of our own garbage! If you are too lazy to walk your garbage to a nearby garbage can while you...

    Anybody driving 100 miles plus a day??

    Mine is an 85 and I also considered the 60............glad I didn't. The extra $8k is worth it (even if it's just for the warranty difference)

    Anybody driving 100 miles plus a day??

    It will be used primarily for business, so hopefully some nice write offs as well!! Mine was an 06 also and would probably still be driving it, but my wife got T-boned in it (fortunately she hardly had a scratch). GS is a great car, but not a Tesla!! In less than 5 years what you save in JUST...

    Anybody driving 100 miles plus a day??

    Lots of trips to the Bay Area.........Napa, Auburn, Ca, LA, one to Albuquerque (before superchargers :( ) Planning an all supercharger trip to Chicago in June. Most refined drive I have ever had, and I love driving it! Fortunately, only one speeding ticket (Calf CHIPS got me doing 95.....ouch!!!)

    Anybody driving 100 miles plus a day??

    Was also driving a GS before. My MS85 has 22k miles, delivered 8 Mar 13, drive it pretty hard, still original Goodyear tires (maybe another 2-3k miles on the tires). Brakes almost like new (lots of highway miles). Car is holding up exceptionally well. JUST THINK ABOUT THE $ YOU WILL SAVE ON...

    Regrets?

    I love my MS85. That being said, since Larry brought it up, I will rant about my biggest bit.. with Tesla! I think Tesla was really unethical regarding the promise of the pano roof sunscreen and then dismissing their promise. I also had it in writing from my delivery specialist and made an...

    Supercharger - Primm, NV

    Our Las Vegas Tesla folks confirm that there are more charging stalls in the plan for Barstow, but no confirmation of timing. Four just doesn't cut it...............especially with weekend traffic.

    Supercharger - St George, UT

    Keeping my fingers crossed that St George will be operating by late June..............driving back to Las Vegas from a Chicago SC-only road trip, and really don't want to have to do the Moab, Blanding, Farmington, Gallup, Flagstaff loop on the way back.

    Oklahoma House passes S.B. 1456 - Fee for Solar Owners

    I'm a Nevada PV solar owner, who frequently generates more power each month than we consume. When I am a net positive generator, my bill is $10.50. Ten is for the grid service connect fee and the 50 cents is the tax on the service fee. I have no issue with paying $10 a month for grid...

    Poll: Which Finalist State Should Tesla Pick for the Gigafactory?

    My vote is also Nevada for similar reasons. My sources in Southern Nevada (which has far better sun and somewhat better wind) is the only location being considered in Nevada is east of Reno, as opposed to the Las Vegas area. :(

    All 500 NJ Tesla owners and anyone from the N East to Maryland need to rally to NJ!

    NONSENSE!! it's not about Dem or rep or green vs non-green, it's about breaking the good-old-boys dealer network and greed. Go Tesla! If it's passed, the only people who will be hurt are New Jersians..........but buyers will still find a way to get their cars. This is another reason why I...
