    S60/19"/standard vs P85/21"/active air

    I currently have a P85 (not +) loaner (P11764) from the Costa Mesa service center. The car is really dirty, particularly the interior - it's full of dirt and food crumbs and stuff. It makes me sad that previous borrowers treated a courtesy Model S like that. It has ~1600 miles with a 330 Wh/mi...

    Help w/ planning day trip: how to interpret Blink/Plugshare status?

    A few San Diego owners are planning an impromptu meetup in Julian tomorrow (TM post). I'd love to meet them, but Julian is 120 miles from my home. I have a 60 kWh, so I need to charge to get home. Both Plugshare and Blink show a set of Blink chargers in nearby Santa Ysabel. A comment on...

    Pre-delivery prep: one owner-to-be's story

    tldr; Colasec makes good use of the four weeks that pass between ordering and delivery. ----- I fell in love with the Model S the first time I saw one. I thought, Oh my god - what a gorgeous car, what is that? - fully expecting it to be some >$250K Euro import like my other crushes. But no, T...

    Colasec's Garage: Before/After

    I bought my home two years ago at the bottom of the market. It was a short sale and it needed a ton of work. Inside we've replaced all the flooring, did a full kitchen remodel, bought new appliances, replaced most of the lighting, and painted the whole thing. Outside, we got completely new...

    Orange County: where to go for a photoshoot? (.... with the car)

    I'm scheduled to take delivery next Tuesday, followed by paint correction and Opti-Coat Pro from Show Car Detailing. Afterwards I've love to take my car somewhere and take some classy pics, you know the type... next to the beach, on a bluff, and such. I want to capture her at her best. Any...

    Alternative to indoor cover?

    I go out of town for a week or so maybe four times a year. My Model S will be parked in my garage at home during these periods and I'd like to keep it covered to prevent dust accumulation. I'm hesitant to spend $400 on an indoor cover to use only a handful of times. Is it reasonable to just...

    Paint appearance and care advice for a n00b

    Hey, so... I've never washed a car before. I've never waxed or buffed or polished, and wouldn't have the first clue on how to get started (except maybe get out the hose? :wink:). I don't know what Liquid Glass or Glare are. I gather that Xpel is something fantastic but quite pricey, and couldn't...

    60 vs 85: initial burst, 0-50 or so - how different does it feel?

    I placed an order yesterday for a 60 kWh model, having decided not to stretch for the 85 kWh and instead get the leather interior, pano and tech. My commute's only 30 miles and I'll be keeping my current ICE vehicle (an F-150...), so I'm not concerned about range. The store had only P85+ models...
