... Yes, I think I will drive to the nearest police station, and tell the car that THIS is my home. That way, if any thief ever takes the car and navigates home, I can just call 911 and say "hang tight, the perp is on his way and should be there in a few minutes." + UPDATE: I did not create...

... I'm sure this is a FAQ but I didn't know where to look so here goes. Often, when I plug my UMC into my NEMA 14-50 at home, I notice on the 17" screen that the car seems to be sipping tiny bits of electricity for a few minutes from the plug. Understand, I have my car programmed to charge...

In the past 3-4 days I have noticed a change in the way my Model S feels whenever I get in it when it's parked and I turn it on by pressing the brake pedal. It's the feel of the brake pedal that has changed. I have owned the car since Aug of 2013, and every single time I have ever started the...

I am curious what folks think of the quality of the complimentary car washing that TSC's often do for their customers. Thought I'd run a poll.

Here's my latest wish-list item (albeit a minor item): I would like to be able to go into Controls/Settings, or, maybe some new app, where I fire up a page that says "press your keyfob button now" and you do, and the car comes back and says, "your keyfob battery is currently at 46%" or...

This morning I walked down to the garage and found a red light glowing around the charge plug in the car. I got in the car and it said that the plug was not connected, and it was still waiting to charge. Now, that's weird because I am very careful when I plug the plug in to the charge port, I...

A friend of mine took his car in to Amato's Auto Body Shop in Sorrento Valley recently and got to talking with one of the techs there about Tesla. What I was really surprised to hear is that the tech told him that Amato's has seen "hundreds" of Model S's. "Tons of body work," he was told. So...

Never noticed this before, a new menu item on the "Enthusiasts" menu at the Tesla website: http://www.teslamotors.com/customers

Anyone besides me noticing the flashes of light from headlights of other vehicles behind your car when you're driving at night, especially on a freeway? The rear view mirror and also the side mirrors all have the same beveled edge where they've trimmed the edge down but in so doing, there's no...

1. This is probably heresy but I really don't like the door handles all sliding out magically when I approach the car. Is there a way I can make it so only the driver's door handle opens by default, and maybe if I double-click on the keyfob again the rest open? 2. When I park the car and put it...

This morning I am seeing banner ad after banner ad fom Koch's FreedomWorks "grass roots" organization pushing for this and that right-wing political crap. Why is TMC taking political ads, especially from the notorious Koch brothers?

From a brand-new article on Autoblog (8/20/2013):

What I've been reading in the forums here lately is that Tesla is insisting on carriers delivering its new cars in closed trucks to protect the exterior of the vehicles during transport. Am I right about that? Assuming so, imagine my surprise the other day when I happened on this open truck on...

Always wanted to get a boat. The costs for fuel are insane. The costs for maintenance and marinas are insane. Setting aside maintenance and marinas . . . let's look at fuel. Where is the Elon Musk for yachts and pleasure boats? Nothing huge, 30, 40 footers, with a sleeper cabin etc, but no gas...

Is there a way with the forum software TMC uses to hide/forget/ignore some threads, for example ones in a foreign language? So that they won't show up in What's New...

Here in California it's like $1170 for the fees that they tack on to purchase the Model S. But the website now says they are "INCLUDED". And so I asked someone at the Tesla store locally and they said those fees "are now included in the price they show you on the website." But then she...

In my ongoing research on dealing with the feasibility of buying a Model S, I have to deal with an HOA for my condo, and get board approval for any alterations to the common garage space to install power to my parking space. Anybody been there done that already in the San Diego area? Any...

I'm curious: among existing Model S owners, are you using any theft prevention products like LoJack in your car, or are you crossing your fingers and hoping the GPS and other comms stuff is still activated if your car's ever stolen and you and Tesla and law enforcement try to track it down?
