I have a safety score of 98 with a Aug 2018 Model X 100D AP3.0 (upgraded from 2.5) and MCU2. i don't have FSD beta yet. I don't understand the delay in getting it.

I found this article, for what it's worth: Security researchers plan to reveal vulnerabilities in Tesla’s Model S at the Defcon hacking conference next month, according to Forbes. They haven’t given a hint about what weaknesses they’ve uncovered, but have apparently promised their talk will be...

That is unfortunate. I imagine you're disappointed. After stewing on what happened for a while, I would accept the car with a couple conditions. Have them throw in maintenance for the 8 years. That entire bumper is one molding, so they'll pull it off and pop in a new one. The trunk can be...

The day after picking up my S, we drove to LA from SF just because. Had 1000 miles in 3 days. The car inspires owners to drive.

I decided that I would get service every 24,000 miles vs yearly because when I take it in for random warranty work I get some added maintenance or bulletin fixes.

I'm with the other owners. You can make it work, and you're so close to a supercharger in case of emergency, ie you forget to plug in the car at night. Also, your living situation sounds like in can change in the future and I'm sure you'll look for something more accommodating to your lifestyle...

Try the Pria 70. Mounted in the center with rear latch and seat facing the rear, gives both passenger space. The passenger rear gives a little more space than driver rear. I think there will be less space once the seat is facing forward...

It really is an amazing feeling and experience getting the car... I wish you many enjoyable years with the car.

I believe the calendar is still in beta. I occasionally run into the same issue.

Love it, that's funny!!!!

I just saw this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYA4egSYASU. I'm wondering how many cars the new P85D will smoke. I had a loaner P85 and that was ridiculously fast. I couldn't drive the P85 on a regular bases without getting tickets :o.

Several years ago in NY, I was driving to the airport at 5am, and a deer was on the side of the road. I slowed down to about 10 mph because there was snow on the ground and I wouldn't be able to stop if it ran out in front of the car. Well the deer didn't run out in front of the car it ran into...

Please share your experience when you return. I always enjoy the stories. Unfortunately, I don't have enough vacation time each year to account for several days in a car. Generally, I fly when drive time is over 6 hours. I do enjoy occasional road trips and the Tesla seems to just beg for it...

Wow 12 days seems like a long time to have a loaner, did something major go wrong or was it just a wait for certain parts?

NICE!

Few thoughts: - Don't bother with dual-chargers. I think in the US you'll be pretty hard pressed to find 80A circuits in the wild where you can take advantage of it except at the Tesla Service Centers. - Obeche wood gloss will have a glare in the sun. The matte is a better option because of...

I took my car to the service center yesterday for the 3rd time and they couldn't reproduce it. My wife has the same complaint, so we are going back so she can help reproduce it for them. I don't know what the issue is with the seat belts in the rear. The center manager did say that when the seat...

You can roll down the window, get out the car, shut the door, reach in and touch the display, then roll up the drivers window without opening the door (be sure to pull your arm out fast enough so it doesn't get caught in the window), and the display and AC will stay on because the car thinks...

I like the pearl white it looks hot. I first finalized with it, but changed after I realized how many white cars are on the road. I also agonized over the colors, but ultimately decided on the brown after seeing it in person in the sun. At the end of the day, I realize I would have loved...

It's nice to hear about new advancements/concepts in the EV industry http://www.engadget.com/2014/05/08/bmw-designworks-solar-carport/?ncid=rss_truncated

40/60/85/p85/p85+.... its personal preference for a car that you're going to love regardless. I think the one option most owners suggest is the tech package.

I don't need much of an excuse to jump in the S. The car is so much fun to drive... even a year later.

Congrats. I'm really happy that I chose brown, it's beautiful in the sun. I agonized over colors, but realized after buying it I would have been pleased with any color because it's a Tesla.

I had a slow leak a few months ago and took the car to the service center. It turned out that a nail was in the tire and the only solution the SC could offer was replacing the tire. I had about 12k miles on the car and didn't want to replace 2 tires because you really can't just replace one...

I'm asking because I'm not sure.... was the sleeper van used for the team to take turns sleeping?

If you consider the battery has an 8 yr warranty and that will be the most likely be the biggest cost on the car, I think for $4000 you can just pay out of pocket for possible future expenses. If you read what's covered in the warranty, it is hard to determine exactly what is covered... at...

Congrats and welcome. I still really enjoy my model s, it's such an incredible car.

Hello all. I tried looking through the original thread, http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/25992-Tesla-to-Upgrade-Wall-Adapters-After-Reports-of-Garage-Fires-Bloomberg-News/page5, but couldn't find an answer. Has anyone received their new NEMA 14-50 adapters with embedded fuse?

I am excited that Tesla has disrupted the industry and causing other auto manufacturers to produce ecstatically pleasing EVs. I think the vehicle looks very nice, and it will be possibly a near-peer of the Model X. Bravo VW.

If they told you the 26th, it will probably be around that date. You can schedule tour/delivery for a week or so later to ensure it's ready when you're ready, I think they'll hold it for up to a month. I had a friend fly in from out of town because he was excited about the car, but unable to...

In the words of a title of a book, don't sweat the small stuff. I'm pretty confident if you buy the car those limitations/shortcomings will dissipate. The challenge of the drive way may require a little more planning, but likely not to be insurmountable. I haven't met or heard an owner that has...

Oil companies buying up batteries to cause a supply constraint..... hehe:rolleyes:

Same here. I will sometimes wash by hand using the EcoGreen product, it's a water free system and surprisingly works really well. http://www.ecogreenautoclean.com/

I use www.bing.com. The image changes each day and it fits the screen perfectly.

Yea, I paid too much for the car not to drive it until the wheels fall off... Then I'll buy new ones and keep it moving :).

I called DMV about it before I had my stickers. They informed me that I could not drive in the HOV lane without the sticker. I was initially hesitant about placing the decal on my bumper, but I read another post where someone mentioned that they view it as a badge of honor on the car. I like...

Love it!!!!!!!!

I have the iPhone 5 using IOS 7 and it works just fine. If you are using WiFi on your iPhone, turn it off and use cellular only. From what I understand, ios7 uses multipath IP, which transmits simultaneously over WiFi and cellular. Maybe there is an authentication issue.

I believe most of the bugs around production have been ironed out, and if they find other bugs more than likely it'll be software updates that are pushed to your vehicle. Jump in head first. Have fun! Let us know what you think once you pull the trigger. I don't believe I've ever met or heard...

If you're interested in seeing when the brake lights turn on, touch the Tesla symbol on the center console and when you let of the accelerator the image of the car on the screen will depicte the brake lights. This will confirm whether the brake light is actually coming on or not when letting...

Just wanted to pass along a fun tip. If you navigate to bing.com on the web browser, the home page has a new photo daily. It fits perfectly in the dual screens. Just a nice alternative to the regular displays.

Thanks all for the inputs! It appears the engineers must be still providing "fixes" to 4.5 before they push it out to everyone. Otherwise, I would imagine they would have to push incremental updates when a minor build is complete.... just speculation.

This is my first post and I would be remiss if I did not mention that most of the members of the club are gracious in their responses no matter how silly a comment, question, or concern may seem. I often don’t like to read comments on news or other forums because of the absurdity of people these...
