    2013 Model S totalled by...a trailer hitch?

    Thanks for the info. I'll check it out. I've decided to stop fighting the process-- many calls and many pleadings later, the insurance companies, body shops and Tesla itself all seem intent on sending my car to the scrap heap, based solely on actuarial tables. Thought I could convince...

    2013 Model S totalled by...a trailer hitch?

    They haven't come with a total offer yet-- still waiting for Tesla to get back to them for something. Maybe it's an emotional attachment-- seems wasteful to total the car if it's fixable. I guess if they do give enough to cover the cost of a CPO, I'll bite the bullet and say goodbye and move...

    2013 Model S totalled by...a trailer hitch?

    Hi everyone, I haven't posted on here in years, but I wanted to get your opinion on something. We were driving the other day in our 2013 S85, when the truck in front of us dropped something off the trailer it was towing. Tried to avoid it, but couldn't- swerved the and object his the left...

    Does the Model S handle the Seattle rain well?

    We've had ours for over a year and it's handled rain with aplomb-- even on the steep eastside hills outside of Woodinville. And on those few freakish evenings when we had some snow, there were no problems at all! We have stock tires, 19" wheels and the air suspension.

    Pets on Road Trips

    We just returned from a Spring Break trip from Seattle to the Bay Area with our 4 month old standard poodle pup. The weather was uniformly warm along the way. The superchager locations were great in that there was always an area to exercise the dog, give him some water and food and let him do...

    Best Car in The Doctor's Lot

    Twiddler, I'm a PM&R doc who does my share of EMG/NCS studies and I have to agree that the MS give me a bigger jolt than any repetitive stim study could... During electrodiagnostic studies, I end up waxing eloquent about TSLA, the Model S, EV's, infrastructure, Elon Musk-- you name it, whenever...

    Do You Use DRLs

    Agreed-- they do look awesome and when I see those catlike DRLs coming at me, I instantly know it's another Model S and blink my brights in salute. I don't see a downside, except that they are so distinctive, the only time I think I'd turn them off is if I didn't want to be noticed...as easily...

    Looking for your stories: funny/touching experiences with your car

    We've had our car for about 6 weeks now and it's been mostly positive feedback: Friends and neighbors and I have been whooshing up and down our rural street cackling madly-- it's fun and infectious, spreading the Tesla grin. Bicyclists seem to love the Model S-- we get a lot of bike racers in...

    Grey interior owners please.. any regrets considering the headboard?

    We just received our car today (Woohoo! S85 with pano). We have the Grey with the Grey Nappa interior. At first, my wife was not pleased with the different color scheme-- but within a few seconds of sitting in the car, we both agreed that it looks just fine-- the different colors actually blend...
