    Now I'll need to wash my car and be at C&C tomorrow to show that Sparky is doing just fine. Like a Phoenix from the flames...

    Poor Sparky, but I'm glad that even being around 6 feet from the burning car for about an hour, the Model S held up to the extreme heat. The battery didn't explode and it is totally drivable. Kudos to Tesla!

    It's definitely my car. Looking at the news video it mentions floor 7, northwest side and that's where my car was parked. I'm nearly 2000 miles away from it. Not sure what to do now. Crap! - - - Updated - - - Remote access still works. I vented the roof and closed. 177 miles rated. Spoke to...

    I'll try to make it. Just had the windows tinted so don't want to wash my car. So if I attend my car might be a bit dirty.

    Got my plates yesterday. When I got to the tax office there was a long line that snaked back and forth and then out the door and down the corridor. I reluctantly joined the back of the queue/line. Two minutes later I was joined at the back by another Tesla owner, Jason. What a coincidence. Maybe...

    Power drain while idle (Vampire Load)

    I have one of the newer ones. So I don't use the remote at all? I press the learn button on the opener when the car is on the "searching" screen? - - - Updated - - - Success with the HomeLink! My car is now perfect. Thanks.

    Parking & Staying In Car: Shutting Off Headlights, etc.

    This might not be the same issue but how can I turn everything off except the radio? I take the family to the local drive-in movie theater and want to keep the radio on to get the movie sound but everything else off to save the battery. They are double-features and my previous ICE car and my...

    Wait is finally over; I have my Model S and it's perfect. I went through the delivery checklist and it was all there. Just waiting on the chrome plate on the UMC and the parcel shelf. Drove the 150 miles home from Austin with the Tesla grin on my face. On the way to Austin we say a car...

    Well I'm off on Friday to pick up my car from the Austin Service Center. Seems like something has changed and now I can pick it up directly and have a walk through with my DS. Got insurance, CA temp plates/strip of paper and I'll swing by and get an inspection sticker before driving the 150...

    I'm hoping they deliver today or tomorrow (sat or sun) as I'm out of town during the week, so would have to wait until next weekend to take delivery. I worked with Andy (from CA) and now Cale (from Chicago?). Just email, no phone number yet. Car is all paid for. Waiting for the call from the...

    I rang Tesla and spoke to my DS. My car is on it's way to Austin, so all I need to do now is pay for it and I should get it in a week - fantastic. Thanks for the advice.

    I'm inside my delivery window (started Feb 5th), got a VIN, but still don't have the name and contact info for my DS yet. What email address or phone number should I use to contact TM to find this out this info? Should I just be patient?
