    Custom Colors Unavailable :(

    Wraps are great to change the color and still maintain daily driving and protecting the paint. I had my Model S wrapped in a clear satin film last year and it looks great. I also had my Ferrari wrapped in Matte White (from Red) and it still looks great after 2.5 years.

    Will you get "TankMode" added to your Model S?

    My car is lowered as well so I am going to get the added Tank Mode option. To be honest I've never felt scared about driving the car but since it is lowered might as well have the added protection.

    Photo Slideshow for Tesla Screen

    That's awesome, I'd be interested as well. I wonder if there is a way to link it to a service like Dropbox so you wouldn't have to host all the pictures.

    Unfortunate incident with my P85+ last night

    Everyone's responded on the iPhone stuff. So I'll respond to the insurance part. Someone tried to break into my old car twice (Maserati QP). Both times they shattered the glass but were not able to break through, due to the triple pane glass. Anyways, I called my insurance company and both...

    I think matte green would look cool. I really want to see a matte brown, so who is up for it?

    My Stealth Pacific Blue Model S

    Was your car done by Northwest Auto Salon (looks like their Nissan Cube in the background)? So you're #3 that they have done? If you ask Blake, he can send you some shots that they took of your car. The other option is you can just steal pictures of my car and use them ;) Pictures of Matte...

    Diminished value after a wreck in a model S

    Although not in Florida, I was in a pretty serious accident in my 911 Turbo. I used an online diminished value service and they wrote a report. The 911 turbo was about 4 years old at the time and he wrote a report for $25k in diminished value, I negotiated with insurance and they gave me $13k...

    A few people were wondering what the car looked like in normal lighting and not in studio lighting. So I took a couple shots after the car had it's annual/12.5k service with my iPhone. Not the best quality shots but gives you an idea on color with our beautiful Seattle gray clouds...

    Full body wrap in Seattle area?

    I'd highly recommend Northwest Auto Salon. They have done a ton of work on Teslas, including redoing a bunch of stuff done at "other" shops. They work on a lot of high end cars, including Ferraris, Lamborghinis. They've even wrapped a Koenigsegg. They did my car with a full satin XPEL wrap...

    Vacation and plugging in

    So I am going on vacation in November for just over 3 weeks. Should I leave the car plugged in for the entire 3 weeks, should I leave it unplugged? Suggestions? If I plug in should I lower amperage? What's the best amperage for that long? Thanks.

    To wrap or not to wrap

    That car that you posted is my car. I have wrapped the Tesla and my Ferrari as well. I have had zero issues with the Tesla, I think the XPEL film is a lot better than the standard vinyl wrap used to color swap. With the Ferrari I went from red to matte white and haven't had any color shift...

    Negative attitudes towards the Model S in Seattle?

    Never had anyone ever give me negative response for my Model S. In fact it is truly the opposite around here, most people are curious as to what the car is.

    I haven't driven the Model S in the Winter yet, but during Spring and in the rain the Summer Michelins were fine. Will find out this winter if I need to swap out to some winter tires.

    Can you intentionally lock keys in the car with iPhone?

    I took my car to Tesla service and I was going to be late to pick up my car (after they closed). So they told me since I had the iPhone app, they would lock the key in the frunk and then I could unlock the car with my iPhone and then open the frunk from the screen and get my key. I never tried...

    Pacific Place (Seattle) Ground Clearance?

    I can't attest to how the drive into Pacific Place is in the MS, but in my Ferrari F430 it's totally fine. Being that the F430 is lower than the MS, I wouldn't worry about ground clearance on the MS.

    I've gotten a lot of questions regarding cost, so I'll just post it here. The cost varies depending on how many things you are doing. There are many places that will charge less and some will charge more. I would estimate a good shop charging between $5,500-$7,000 (depends on which part of...

    Seattle Service Center will be moving soon!

    Was at the Bellevue Service Center, and they were saying that once the new showroom is open in Seattle that all the deliveries will occur there. Bellevue will have the sales center in the mall and just a service center in the "interesting" surroundings. I also asked about the 2 showrooms vs. 1...

    @Psmolka I'll ask them, but not sure if they will know anyone. Thanks everyone else for the compliments. They do an amazing job, and actually have done a few Model S wraps but mainly just front end XPEL clear for pain protection. The nice thing with my wrap is it isn't just the regular change...

    Seattle Service Center will be moving soon!

    So if they are moving the service center, will they still keep the sales center off of Westlake in South Lake Union? Seems like the sales center there is a great location as it is very visible for all the Amazon & other companies employees around that area.

    So as promised I got some new pictures taken by the shop that did my wrap. It is the XPEL wrap with satin finish, so the color is still blue but it is more of a satin/matte finish now. Can see it getting wrapped here: Also here's a short video: Full write up from shop can be seen...

    Any way to get a valentine 1 to work with Model S?

    So I've noticed a weird thing with my V1. Basically the rear laser arrow just goes off non-stop. I think the laser is going off due to picking up something from the screen. Anyone else have this problem? I prefer keeping the V1 up higher because then can reach it in case I do get pulled over.

    Floor Mat Erectile Dysfunction???

    I was at the service center and asked them about it. They told me that it is a common problem and Tesla is working on a new design. I asked them to fix it with velcro or something, and they said they could not fix it. They also made no mention if the new design would be given to any earlier...

    Questions about Seattle

    I agree with everyone that rent a place first. You don't want to settle on an area you don't like. If you go out to the suburbs (specifically South), you can get some amazing houses and land for not much money (a friend is selling their 9,000 sq ft house on 5 acres, with a total of about 3...

    Questions about Seattle

    What type of area are you looking to live in? Looking to live close to Amazon (namely in the city of Seattle), or outside the city and commute into the city? I've lived near Amazon (in Seattle) for 6 years and now live in Bellevue, also grew up in the Seattle area. As for places to avoid or...

    NO MORE CHROME! Blue & Satin Black Tesla Model S

    @DrTaras so my car doesn't have a thin film and it isn't a typical film wrap. My wrap is actually an 8mm thick clear wrap on top of the standard Tesla blue, basically it is a very thick paint protection film. The film has a 10 year warranty and supposedly has self healing properties...
