    The reason 7 seats are now coming to the Y

    I think the reason why the 7 seater model Y is going to start production next month is because the single rear stamping design is probably ready for production at Freemont and with that design it will free up a little more rear interior room for the 3rd seat occupants!

    Driving 1 mile vs. powering a 1500W electric heater.

    I am trying to get an idea of what 300wh/mile means. I have a few of those small electric heaters in the house that I use in the winter time, they are rated as 1500 watts. My Model S says that I am averaging about 300wh/mile (watt hours per mile). Does this mean that the Tesla can go 5 miles...

    Hidden gem feature, never forget your cell phone again.

    How many times have you left the house or work and gotten to your destination only to realize you forgot your cell phone. Well I have done it many times until a few days back when my Model S reminded me. Last Wednesday I parked the car while on a Bluetooth call. Next day I got into the car and...

    How to save maps of Superchargers?

    I am planning my first road trip along the east coast and have found it very difficult to figure out how to save a map with all my stopping points including superchargers. So far I have been saving points on Google Maps (I am saving addresses with pin points but I do not know how to label them...

    Can I use a dual charger if I do not have that option?

    I have only the supercharger option installed not the dual charger. If I visit a mall is a high power wall charger (which I believe is the dual charger) can I use it to charge? Will it just operate at a single charger lever 10KW?

    Best Story about “What kind of car is that?”

    As with most MS owners I have some pretty very funny stories to tell about people’s reactions to seeing the Model S for the first time. I think my best story is when I was about to leave a mall parking lot. My 4 year was getting into the car, I was standing on grass at the back of my MS getting...

    When were you last at a gas station?

    I got my MS back in June 2013 and I haven't been to a gas station yet, that's almost 10 months! This obviously is for all the times I have spent not in my car but in others including wife's ICE and company cars. When were you last at a gas station? Who has the longest record?

    Power will improve as you drive

    Now that it is getting cold out I am seeing the messages "Battery is heating" "Power will improve as you drive" I understand the above messages, but why am I NOT see the dashed line on the KW meter on the dash which shows I am limited in the amount of KW I can draw from the battery? If I was...

    Which Lug Wrench and Jack

    I purchased winter tires and wheels so I have decided to use these as my "spare" tires when I get a flat. They will be kept at home so all that will be needed is a phone call to a family member to go pick one up and deliver it to the MS when it has a flat. That being said, what is Lug Wrench...

    Black ice on the road and my Model S

    I took a trip from the beach in NH to southern NH yesterday evening. Left the restaurant after dark and found it had started to lightly snow with strong winds, outdoor temps were 32 degrees. On the highway I was going a little above the speed limit and saw emergency vehicles on the other side...

    The door handles are also an air vent!!!!!

    I had an interesting entrance to my model S this morning. I pre-heated the car because the outside temp was about 30F, the heater was on when I opened the door and felt a rush of cold air around the door handle. Both front and rear driver side doors handles had this rush of air (I did not check...

    Delay in Battery Heating message

    I have found that at about 30degrees F my Modeel S takes about 5 mins of driving for the "Battery is Heating" message to appear. I would think the car would want to heat the battery as soon as I started driving. Why is this? The car is plugged in just before I leave so I am unable to tell if...

    Display panel comes on by itself after charging is complete

    I have noticed that the display behind the steering wheel sometimes comes on after the car has been parked for a while and is off. I have only see it about 4 times and it may coicide with when the charging is complete. Has anyone else seen this?

    Tesla Superchargers are DC, is this a little ironic???

    For the Tesla Superchargers to charge using DC current, isn't this a little ironic? What would Nikola say? (I think he would be rolling in his grave right now, and not in his 5.0!) (Vanilla Ice for those who didn't catch pun) Oh Vanilla ICE.. another pun Oh this is fun!
