I have my car at car shows regularly, and I noticed many ICE vehicles have a poster outside describing features of the vehicle. With the big center screen (and a web browser) available to us S and X owners, I decided to do up a sort of 'car show poster' (plus, being digital, it is much easier to...

I attended a car show today, a fundraiser raising money for Jaxon, who is fighting Rohhad, a very rare illness (less than 75 children in the world have it). As Jaxon toured the cars to pick his fav, he saw the Tesla... (video takes it from there) (normally a car show video wouldn't warrant a...

Rather than/in addition to a poster to have on display when showing the car at car shows or the like, I figured why not put the center screen to good use (since it gets lots of attention anyway). So I came up with a web site that runs through a slideshow of sorts. I really wanted video to...

I recently exhibited the car at a Eco Fair held at local College. Getting the car into the building was a bit of a challenge. The video may not quite capture the tight quarters we were working with, but after two days, we got pretty good at it :-)

Wow, this is an interesting development. Free charging at your home for 3 years... http://electrek.co/2016/02/08/tesla-free-charging-home-sweden/

Last weekend I played around with improving the experience of controlling the car with my android phone and hopefully my android wear watch. My main pain point is quickly turning on the climate control to the car. The darn android app often needs to be started twice, and even when it works, it...

On 7.1, car(toons) are shown in adjacent lanes on the IP. When the Tesla overtakes one of these cars, they just disappear while in front, instead of moving to beside the Tesla. One would think that Tesla could have handled this more elegantly... I understand the limitation of a single forward...

Hmm interesting. One of Tesla's best features, the ability to add features and make changes to the car OTA (over the air), was one I thought sure was going to be copied by all the other auto manufactures. Apparently not. It appears that at CES GM let slip a key disadvantage of its dealer...

Just wanted to post this in case it can help someone else, and as I didn't see any other posts matching this specific situation. I found myself unable to charge recently... my charge port started acting up, not opening the door when it should (it could be forced open mind you), and then having...

In the above video, Zach from Motormouth Canada goes on a bit of a rant against Tesla - starts at 1:42 . Points he makes: Tesla fanboys put too much faith in Elon Tesla is a tiny car company, can't benefit from economies of scale like existing car companies He is bothered by the lack of a firm...

I had a very interesting and exciting exchange with a Tesla employee today. While waiting at a Supercharger, a Tesla pulls in with MFG plates. The individual who got out nodded to a group of us owners chatting, so I went over and said hello and asked if they works for Tesla per the MFG plates...

I had a TPMS alert come up on my screen. After a bit of time looking into it, Tesla said one of my sensors was bad. They shipped me a replacement sensor and asked me to take the car to the garage of my choice to have it installed (they also did recommend one, but it was a bit of a distance...

This might be a dumb question, but... what is the 2nd caliper for on the rear brakes (P85D if it matters)? I've had many people ask, but I keep forgetting to find out... and this forum seems the best place to confirm an answer! I'm guessing it might be the parking brake?

I have been doing quite a bit of advocating for Tesla to others the past couple of weeks, extolling the virtues of the car. Certain things always get mentioned: performance, range, quietness, one footed driving. It got me thinking, what feature(s) do you very much appreciate, but at the same...

Tesla Announcment: Ticket Avoidance Mode Haven't seen this posted yet... Taking advantage of its autopilot hardware, plus some ingenious use of aimable wind shield washer nozzles, our Tesla's now can avoid parking tickets. (also on Tesla's Facebook page)

I haven't seen this mentioned before, and I'm not sure if different Service Centers do their own thing when it comes to service vehicles, but the Tesla Ranger that came from the Vancouver SC pulled up in a "Tesla Van"... a Nissan NV small cargo van.

Just had my first issue with the P85D (latest firmware). Last night, before opening the driver door, I noticed I was hearing music playing... I quickly noticed the rear window was down (typical amount when opening door), and that the door was ajar. It was not ajar when I parked. I think it...

There are quite a few responses with good points (pros/cons). Likely nothing that hasn't made the rounds on here, but interesting nonetheless. http://www.reddit.com/r/teslamotors/comments/2t8kwu/honest_talk_time_whats_the_worst_thing_about_the/

So when my wife's principle heard I got the Model S, I has invited to speak to a couple of classes about it and EVs. It was an interesting experience! First off, all the boys loved 'getting out of class' to hear about cars/EVs (no surprise there). The most popular question was 'can a kid get...

In reading past posts, it seemed like there were complaints of the Model S only having 11 volume settings... In my P85D, I noticed that before the number increases, I have 2 or 3 presses of the button/changes of volume (this was likely using the steering wheel button, don't think I used the...
