    2000 mile road trip-What I learned

    We went from the Bay Area to Sedona and back for our first long road trip in our 2 yr old classic S. Each leg we drove straight through 17 hours including charging. Here are my observations: 1. The S is a CRUISING machine even without AP. I've had several SUVs and none of them ride like the...

    The sensors and dash icons work fine but there is no longer a warning sound, silent as can be. Is there a setting somewhere I just can't find to turn the sound back on? Thanks

    Bay Area to Sedona, Az.

    We are traveling in January. With charging, how long will it take? I'm trying to determine if I can do it in one day or I'll need a stopover. I'm assuming I'll need to carry chains. If I need to spend the night any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks

    The Vanguard Group

    Any opinions on investing with them? I'm tired of paying high fees at the large investment groups and since Vanguard doesn't have stock owners except for the folks that invest with them I thought it sounded like a good idea. Thanks mods if not appropriate location please move or delete

    Trip to Alaska

    What would be the best way to get our S to Anchorage? Ferry or truck? I'm assuming it would be impossible to drive it. My wife and I would like to plan a trip up there in a couple of summers for a month and I would love to have my S. Possible? Idiotic? Are there enough places to charge...

    Max charge decrease

    Do I need to be concerned as 3 weeks ago my full charge was 275 miles now it's 255? I only full charge maybe once monthly for road trips. I don't believe there have been any updates in the past few weeks. Everything else seems perfectly normal. Thanks

    FYI for everyone-My roof was chattering and sticking when opening/closing. Apparently the motors on each side were out sync. Didn't see this anywhere on a search so I thought I would post it in case anyone else was having this problem.
