No grab handles for the mom.

$120/yr to play an undefined set of songs on demand...

In Orlando (with pano) and car has already hit 116 degrees when outside in the sun. It gets hot.

So, for warranty issues, is this the end of the ranger program?

In ICE cars with conventional auto transmissions, I have always been careful to come to a complete stop before going from R to D. Any reason to do so in our cars?

I am guessing that zero mpg: (a) is talking about the storage bin under the touchscreen, and (b) only wants to remove it to do something with it (and not leave it out permanently)...

Ipdamages- my other car is an e91 BMW wagon (328i). I share your feelings about the model s being too big.

Is there any way to disable the buzzer? I use my seat belt 100% of the time but I rarely buckle it before i turn the car "on" (step on the brake). I find the beeping maddening.

Nice - just leave it up on the browser when you valet. There should be a "valet" mode that lowers speed, leaves something like this up on the screen, and locks out the glove box (with a code to disable).

Not ideal but functional. A $1500 coat hook.

My UMC is SUPER hot from the plug that goes into the wall (14-50) to the Tesla box... Just called - will report back on cure.

i have the seal droop as well.

related question: how many miles of range does the climate preconditioning eat up per hour in, say, (a) 96 degree sun, or (b) 10 degree cold? I will test and provide data regarding (a).

the rearview mirror on the tesla is really nice - you will likely not want to sully it with an aftermarket one... I too would like this ability... Perhaps somebody will figure out a way to hack in more cameras with a switch (e.g., switch between rearview, frontview, and children)

the "dead pedal" says "model s" on it... noticed this while vacuuming...

remote smartphone access to rearview camera...

If you used navigation, that took over the left side of the dash and then when the nav session it done it goes blank again. I hope that this is fixed by Tesla in the future - after the nav session is over, the left side of the dash shuold revert to its previous setting (e.g., media display).

Off topic: I have an E91 BMW wagon and mine has a built-in pet net/guard... Why go through the trouble of the add-on item?

Thanks for the ideas - my garage door opener is sensitive enough to send the door back up even if it hits something quite small - might need to cut a notch somewhere in the floor for the cable...

99% of the time, I park inside my garage (where my NEMA 14-50 is installed). On occasion, I would like the option of leaving the car in the driveway with the garage door closed. Any ideas for how to nicely run the carging cable through a wall (e.g., a little door or some such thing)? It is a...

I think I have you beat from a gross-out perspective: my kid barfed all over mine this weekend...

One problem you may run into is that the seat belt buckles are placed close to each other and very hard to use with child seats as they are in the crack of the seat. You cant use latch anchors for all 3 positions simultaneously - I think you could do latch for the two outboard locations and belt...

letdown for sure. and the $500/mo thing is insulting.

I had a similar problem after having my charge port door replaced (I walked into it breaking the reflector - oops). Tesla came back and fixed it by putting some "shims" in the assemble (washers I believe). It has worked perfectly since the fix. The Ranger was aware that differences in...

Had my first encounter with another Model S this past Saturday night in Colonialtown 2 blocks from my house... Curious if the other owner is on here as there are not too many in town.

Awesome repurposing of child seat protectors.

sadly, it was not me.

has it been confirmed that the parcel shelf does in fact fit behind the third row seat when the third-row seats are set up?

Didn't gazillions of dollars go into making this thing stupidly aerodynamic? Don't even small protrusions mess things up? This is why the door handles retract and there is no rear wiper...

The exterior one is made to be mounted with screws to front-mounted license plates. I used industrial strenth velcro to mount to the beam behind the nosecone...

There is at least one red light that will not change when I pull up with my Model S. I've been stopping at the same light for 7+ years without issue (in ICE cars)... I saw that some Roadster folks had this issue - anybody else run into this with the Model S? I've been making the right on red...

I speak from experience - do not walk into an open charge port door. Bad things happen.

Maybe he has realized that the quoted/speculated price for maintenence and 3G is outrageous and both will be included at no cost?

I recently had my charge port door replaced (i had walked into it when it was opened and the reflector cracked...). Since being replaced it remains stuck closed when you open it from the dash/charger/app. I have to push it manually open (while holding the button on the charger) to get it...

Anybody else have this? There is a wire loom visible in the crack of the back seat - passenger side... Not a big deal but also not particularly elegant.

Interesting. Might not work for those with matte wood?

I am seeing 21" rims as well despite the car having 19"...

Yes i do experience this also.

http://carseatblog.com/20927/tesla-model-s-review-the-only-emissions-come-from-the-kids/ A nice and very comprehensive review of the Tesla Model S focused on car seat installation. Good information in here.

Just did this. Awesome results for a tiny price. Shame on Tesla for not doing this from the start...

Got my exterior-mount SunPass installed behind the nose cone - very easy to do and works great. You just need to call and they will mail it to you - about $25. No free EV lanes in Orlando so no concern about being able to turn it off.

By now someday must have postd "electric car" by they might be giants? If that was not on-point enough, their new album has a track titled "Tesla" (about the inventor)...

you are all mostly correct. lack of profit got me to thinking more and more about keeping it... had lots of nibbles but no serious bites. happy with my decision.

fun pics. you can see my office in the background...

Kraco K2520BLK Black Rubber Universal Runner - one piece runner fits back flawlessly. $18 via Prime. Order away.

I was skeptical at first. Amazon has these for $18 (Prime eligible) and they really are a PERFECT fit for the back seat (2nd row) - they even go up just the right amount on the sides... This is a no-brainer if you have kids.

Ability to monitor rearview camera from mobile phone app.

email Tesla about the trim discrepency - they are very good about resolving/explaining these things.

I was alway under the impression that tire/rim "insurance" was a money-making add on from a dealer...

Change of heart - keeping the car, so it is no longer for sale... Amazing car - happy to join the crew here.
