    Model S Software/Firmware wishlist

    A "brightness" indicator that really goes to 0%! Right now the 0% brightness on the dash is distracting down dark roads....it's still much too bright!

    Night-time driving; Dash too bright, even at 0% setting.

    Anyone concerned that the 0% brightness setting is too bright? When I'm on the turnpike, or any dark road, I like to drive with the dash basics barely visible. All cars I've driven to date (non-electric) allow you to turn the dash board dimness down to 0%; it virtually shuts off. Not so...

    Mercedes SLS Electric 4WD 750bhp review, 18 min video ..

    Expensive, indeed! 400,000 British Pounds to US Dollars US Dollars: equals $771,759.75. Tesla can produce 7 like these at that price ( 7 x $110,000.00). Here's hoping they produce a (hardtop) convertible, 4 seater.

    Who enjoys their White Model S? Is Black better?

    I opted for the white, not the metallic or higher priced white, just the plain white, with the glass sun-moon roof. I agree with the other posts that it's easy to spot clean, has a "light-happy" spirit rather than a "dark-somber" spirit. The black is more elegant, the white is more sexy. The...

    Is it just me or does everyone want to race a tesla..

    I, too, noticed this the first week or two of having the car...but then I was looking around for reactions. When you come off the "high" of getting the car, you'll keep your eye on the road better, and ignore the "let's see what she can do" looks. Unless that's what you're looking...

    How about an ability to adjust the dashboard brightness? Right now 0% is still too bright for my night driving. Thanks.

    Night-time driving; Dash too bright, even at 0% setting.

    Dashboard brightness; Anyone notice "0%" is still too bright? I notice when I'm driving at night, and I set my dashboard lights to 0% brightness, that they're still quite bright. Anyone else notice this? Elon/techies; is there a solution/adjustment I can make to get a true 0% brightness on...

    Glare from passenger side mirror?

    Anyone else notice a glare of light from the passenger side mirror? I'm guessing a little extra dark solar film on that little square will do the trick; but I'd like to hear other ideas.

    What's with the tabs on the roof above the doors?

    Delicate "rack flaps" on roof. Thanks, everyone, for the replies. Tesla, take note; this is NOT one of your smarter designs. Any suggestions for taping them down? Haven't hit the car wash yet; and care for the car myself; but now see the value of perhaps a clear, smartly cut (curved edges...

    What's with the tabs on the roof above the doors?

    Just got my new Tesla Sat June 15th. Great ride, great everything. Got out of car, noticed tabs above doors, on roof. Curious as to what they're used for? They seem a bit flimsy; any problems with them? Any suggestions for covering them? Thanks, Robecology

    Has anyone installed Solar chargers?

    Good point, Robert; but I talked to my son, an executive at FP&L in Fla, and he says "RB is right; FP & L does plan to "revisit" Solar user strategies; but we will always encourage its' use, as long as they remain linked to the grid, they'll need us, and we need them; so it's a win-win...

    Consumer Reports: "The electric car that shatters every myth"

    This report, the Motor trend report, and a test drive did it for me. I'm sold. I'll have mine soon. Trying to decide if I should go to the NE (from Florida) this summer, or wait a few months for the superchargers (Supercharger | Tesla Motors) to be installed. Robecology

    Hack-charging on a generator

    Carrying a generator? I'm going for a test drive this AM (Sat May 11, '13). I've searched these forums about carrying a generator...a small gas generator so one can continue on a road trip and generate one's own electricity. The obvious question is its' feasibility...is it practical? Does...
