Recently my beloved Model S was struck in a parking lot. Another car attempted to cut a corner around me and scraped across my rear right. There is some significant gouging in the rear bumper cover, as well as the edge of the trunk lid - see pics below. No damage anywhere else that I can tell...

In a couple hours, I am leaving my home in Maryland to start a cross-country drive in my Model S 85. A few months ago, I started interviewing at Tesla and got a job offer this January in their Autopilot autonomous driving program. Our first stop will be at the Somerset supercharger around...

Does anyone have a favorite car wash for their Model S near Montgomery County, MD? I've been hand washing up to now, but it's finally too cold and the salt from the Maryland snow storms is starting to get to me.

This idea came about in the front camera threads, but I wanted to break it out for a separate discussion. Now that we have wifi with software 5.0, we should be able to access locally-hosted web pages (can anyone confirm this?). I've got an idea to build a small pcb with some general purpose...

Just picked up my Tesla last week!! I'll post a delivery report later, having too much fun right now. I'd already read the manual many times, but there's nothing like playing with the interface in person to learn new things and come up with new questions. I'd really like to have my own custom...

Apologies if I've missed previous data on this one - has anyone actually performed a controlled experiment testing the differing drag forces with and without a front license plate? Does a front plate affect the drag enough that your Wh/mi show noticeable increase? Is there any difference between...

I finalized my order for an S85 with all the options (except jump seats) this weekend. I am ridiculously excited. This is about 3x more than I've ever spent on a car, but after our test drive my wife and I can't get rid of the Tesla grin. Now begins the agonizing wait for delivery. In the...

I'm vacationing in Ocean City, MD in late August, and expecting to have my brand new Model S 85 kWh by then!! It would make a great first road trip. I live near Baltimore, MD. I normally travel over the Bay Bridge to OC, but I could travel via the DE supercharger instead if necessary. It's 115...

After extensive discussions with my spouse and hours spent pouring over spreadsheets to make sure we wouldn't become car poor with the most expensive vehicle we've ever purchased, we put in our reservation on Teslamotors last night. Awesome!! Now to check for financing options... I read on the...
