    New 21s More Durable?

    Anyone have any idea if the new 21" arachnids on the refreshed S will be any more durable than the old turbines? Love the look, but not going through constantly replacing them again.

    19” Model S Cyclone Rims wTPMS

    I have a set of 4 19” OEM Cyclone Rims that I’m looking to part with. They do have some curb rash in a few areas, but I’m told this can be easily repaired. Comes with Rims only (no tires) and TPMS. I live 7 miles south of Boston. Make me an offer

    XPel Damage - now what?

    So the day finally came. I am now more than happy that I wrapped the entire front of my car in Xpel. I parked in a normal parking spot in downtown Boston near a loading dock and two hours later came out to my front left bumper being scraped to sh*t. Looks like the Xpel protected the actual...

    Easy Entry - In need of a simple adjustment

    Easy Entry is a great addition. I mean, my Jeep has it and for years my Tesla did not. There is one thing that needs to be updated, however. When exiting, the steering wheel should go up FIRST and THEN in. As it is now, the steering wheel goes in first. I have long legs and the easy...

    Charging at Waterville Valley??

    I have a 70D, live 10 miles south of Boston and would love to drive my Model S to Waterville this season (every weekend starting Thanksgiving), but not sure it's really doable with the cold weather. Any knowledge of charging stations in the immediate Waterville Valley Resort area? Can't find...

    Autopilot....meh

    First, I promise I am not a troll. I have owned two Model S since 2013. Love the company and my car. I am curious though....am I the only one out there that could take or leave the autopilot feature? I get that it's a technological feat...but I have it and I rarely if ever use it. I'd...

    Boston to Mont Tremblant - anyone done it?

    Thinking about taking the family up to Mont Tremblant this spring break. Looks perfectly doable, but curious if anyone has any experience with the trip and any tips to share...

    Xpel on Cape Cod

    My father will likely be pulling the trigger on an X - an obsidian one. Next step is some paint protection. Love my guys at Q car care in Burlington, but I know my father will want to find some place near his house on the Cape. Anyone know of a place to go?

    Are the X 22s as prone to damage as S 21s?

    I test drove an X this weekend with the 22s. It looks to me that there is a little more rubber/sidewall (and therefore, protection) around the 22s on the X compared to that of the 21s on the S. I had very bad experiences with the 21s on my old S up here in New England. The 21s make the S...

    Windshield Back Order

    We have a good sized crack in our windshield that is continuing grow. This happened back on June 6th and we immediately called our insurance company (USAA) who has a relationship with safelite. - We were scheduled for the replacement on Saturday June 11th. - Safelite called the morning of...

    Bring back the "old" Blue

    Not a terribly thought provoking post, but I find myself logging into the Teslamotors.com site once in a while just to see if the color options have updated. See, I had a beautiful 2013 Blue MS and traded it in for a midnight silver 70D not too long ago. The midnight silver is nice, but I see...

    Will there be a 3D?

    I just watched the reveal online...no mention of a dual drive option. No D, no deposit.

    Real Photo of new Slipstream Wheels

    Does anyone have a real photo (not a rendering from the website) of the slipstreams ON a model S? I've searched, could not find.

    Loon Mountain Destination Chargers

    Does anyone have any experience using the destination chargers at Loon? If so, how in demand have they been during skiing hours? We start heading up on a weekly basis next week and would like to take our 70D if it's doable. thx!

    Quintessential Car Care

    I am on my second Model S and have had experiences with protecting a number of my cars over the years with opticoat, xpel and the likes with different shops and wanted to just put a plug in here for Ben and his team at Quintessential Car Care in Burlington, MA. Ben was great to work with and...

    Xpel - Full or Partial Front

    I had opticoat applied to my last 85 and it was worth it, but I want to take the extra step to have the front of the car protected from rock chips, etc. So, I have decided to apply Xpel. Partial front (bumper, lights and partial hood) is $1K - full front is $2K. From past experience, I...

    Think twice before selling your 21s

    If you are like me and bought your car with 21" rims with hopes that it would be doable in your pothole-ridden state and found out quickly how wrong you are....think twice about selling those 21" rims. I say this because after replacing 3 of mine, I finally gave up and sold them and just stuck...

    Any opinions on the D's performance in the Snow vs. non D

    Any opinions on the D's performance in the Snow vs. non D? I searched, but only found one person that posted something and he didn't have snow tires. Thanks!

    2013 85 vs. new 70D observations

    We've had our S85 for about 2.5 years and have loved every minute of it. My wife is not a car person at all, but with the Tesla it's a different story. We live in New England and the while the rear wheel drive isn't bad in the snow, we shy away from taking it to the mountains and on occasion we...

    Model X - 20" rims vs. 22" rims

    Does anyone know if the 22" rims will be as useless as the Model S 21" rims are if you live in New England/anywhere the roads are torn up? There is a drastic difference in the look of the X with/without the 22".....much moreso than the difference of Model S with/without the 21s...in my...

    Inventory Model S

    I have seen a bunch of references to "inventory Model S" for lower prices than new. I assume these are new vehicles that were made for either cancelled orders or just configured for inventory? Anyhow, we have enjoyed our S85 for 2 years in the Boston area....but we'd really like to have AWD...

    Paint work near boston

    I scraped the outside of my rear wheel well packing into a spot next to a cement wall. I got Hollis as a recommended place to have it repaired, but Ashland is a hike. Anyone have any positive experience with a body shop closer to Boston? Thanks!

    19's on a P85D or P85+

    P85D only comes with 21''s? Any insight as to why the P85D only comes with the 21s? I have 21s for my current S85 and after going through 4 21" rims/tires in the months of May - July up here in Boston, I just put my 19s on and will probably keep it that way. Would love a P85D, but 21s won't...

    Third Party Tire and Wheel Insurance/Protection Plans

    Before I am forced to depart with my beautiful (and now new after replacing most of them) 21s, does anyone have any good suggestions for a company that offers a solid wheel and tire protection plan? A quick google search brings up Ally - any others? First hand experiences? Thanks!

    Ask your favorite ski resort for charging stations!!

    I wrote a letter to Sugarbush inquiring of any existing or planned EV charging infrastructure. I got a quick and friendly response that they have neither because the only demand they ever had was my letter! Let's create some demand. A ski resort seems like an obvious place to have a bank...

    Superchargers in time for the New England ski season?

    Winter will be here very soon and I'd love to take my Model S to the mountains. Has anyone heard any rumors or have any knowledge of those proposed "dots" on the supercharge map in NH and ME becoming a reality any time soon?

    Detail/Opti Coat in MA

    Just a plug for SeaJay's Detailing in Billerica, MA. I took my car to Jason Perrydore about a week and a half after taking delivery of my S85 and he did a fantastic job. The opti coat makes a huge difference...even after the rain we recently had, the car looks amazing. Here are some pics I...
