Hey Teslas! Was wondering what the Pros and Cons of MCU 2 are? So far what I've seen is: Pros: Snappier more responsive Screens. More in car Entertainment options. Cons: Cannot log in to YouTube once you get it I am told there are quite a few other Cons. But I haven't been able to find them...

I bought $5k worth of TSLA when I bought my 2013 Model S and if I sell it today, I'd have almost exactly what I'd need to buy a new Model S LR. I know next to nothing about Stocks, but I'm thinking it would be really awesome if my Stocks bought me a new Model S. It's long overdue. My 2013 is out...

Apparently my current set of HOV Stickers are expiring in 2019. I'm getting conflicting answers on if my older 2013 Model S P85 is eligible for the NEW Red HOV Stickers. Anyone know for sure?

Been getting a TON of Slacker errors and slow load times on my Radio. I was thinking of upgrading to LTE from 3G, but from some of the posts I see, it looks like 3G may actually be faster. Has anyone who has upgraded found the LTE experience to be a lot better than the old 3G experience?

Has anyone noticed weird handling with the Primacy Tires on the Freeway? I just had the rears replaced and now the car is all over the road. The steering kind of jerks back and forth almost like it's following the rain grooves in the Road. It's quite unsettling. Is the because of the Tires or...

Hi Gang. Some of us are having an issue where occasionally we hear some Electrical Noise through the Speakers. For me it normally happens just after I start up the car and goes away after a minute or two. Usually sounds like a "Popping, Tapping, or Static" sound. Some may call it "Engine Noise"...

How prone is the Model S to dings in parking lots? So far, none for me, but it's required a fair amount of proactive parking... I think it would probably kill me as my car is still fairly new... How about you? Got any dings in your Model S yet? If you did, did you take it to a "paintless dent...

It would appear that Ford is trying to steal the "Model E" (E for Electric?) name out from under Tesla. I guess they never trademarked the name. Ford Trademarks Model E Name

For those of you who prefer to detail their own cars, what is your go-to paint protectant? Zaino? Chemical Guys? Cquartz? Glare? Opticoat? Which one is the one for you? I'm looking to try something new… :)

Is anyone out there daring to take their cars to a Car Wash or are we all hand washing?

My Car clock is an hour ahead and did not change for the end of Daylight Savings Time. Is there a manual way to set the Clock???

Hi Gang, Just a public service announcement for those of you who are experiencing premature seat pillar wear from sliding across them when you get into your car (see pic). This is also extremely helpful if you have a bad back as I often do. I actually discovered this method after my back surgery...

Hey Gang, Spent many an hour watching Tesla YouTube videos on my TiVo at home while I was waiting and managed to compile quite a list. Please feel free to browse or Subscribe. Definitely helps with the obsession: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=FLLDYRBmk14ShockPiTj_hCQ

I've seen a lot of folks who have the Tesla Logo on their charging station outlet cover. Would anyone know where to get something like that? Is there a place that sells Tesla Accessories that might have Stickers? Any help greatly appreciated.

I need some advice. I had the Electrical outlet for my coming Tesla installed yesterday by a local firm. They did a horrible job. There's a gap the size of my finger next to the cut-in box because they cut the hole too big. They put the plug in upside down and they didn't install it where I...

I originally ordered a Blue/Tan 60 with no Pano, no Air shocks, No Parking Assist, and no Super Charger. You can see from my signature, that is not where I ended up. I equally blame the long waiting period and Tex (and a couple of others, you know who you are). :tongue: So. Did you end up with...

My car is coming in two weeks and all this controversy is messing with my high... Tell us again why you LOVE your Model S. I think we need to refocus on the positive again around here! :love:

Hey guys, I'm getting ready to install a NEMA 14-5- Receptacle in my Garage and I'm looking for some good ideas as to how high to put the Receptacle (near the ceiling, close to the floor, at normal height?), how to support the weight of the "dongle" (PDF on Tesla's website says not to let it...

Solar America has turned out to be a bust, so I'm looking for a reputable electrician in the Cupertino area of Silicon Valley. Has anyone used someone they can recommend?

I sent Solar America the quote request early in September when I ordered the car, thinking that was plenty of lead time since My car isn't due until late October. Well, fast forward 3 weeks and still not a word. No email, no call, nothing. So I call THEM. Some guy named Jeff answers the phone...

When you stomp on it, does your Model S make this sound?

Hey guys, Just wondering... We do love to hit the Raider Games (I know we are suckers for punishment) and I thought it would be epic to use the Tesla for a pre game Tail Gate party. Can you sit with the Radio on, back hatch open, etc. for a couple of hours without running down the battery? Does...

Post Links to Your Favorite "Tesla Related" YouTube Videos here... This may ease the pain (or make it worse) for those of us still obsessively waiting for our Model S to arrive... I use the YouTube feature on my TiVo to watch them on the flat screen. I'll get the ball rolling with my...

Hi Gang, Just ordered my Model S and it should be here late October. My ONLY concern (because it's an unknown) is reliability. Simple question. Has your Model S ever failed to start up in the morning and you had to get a ride to work? There are 3 days a week I have meetings and if I don't show...

Hi guys... A friend of mine on another forum wants one of these so bad he can taste it. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the cash... I know there is a financing option, but I ran across this video from last April and it seems to indicate there is a lease program... Anyone know what this is about?

How long did it take your MS to go from "Sourcing Parts" to "In Production"?

I just purchased a Model S 85, but I still have a few questions if anyone can help. Mainly questions about the Battery Life and replacement: 1. Does anyone know how long the Battery Packs are expected to last on average (Miles or Years)? 2.When they run out of juice what then? I have heard...

We really don't have "Fog" here, but I wouldn't mind a bit better illumination at night. Do they turn on with the main headlights or do you have to turn them on manually each time? I assume if you turn them on, then they stay on or do they reset to "off" each time you shut off the car? If anyone...

On another forum I frequent, some posters started talking about this new Electric Car... I can't believe what happened next... Witness my journey from having no intention of buying a new car to not being able to drop a deposit fast enough... :D

What the deal with the cloth inserts? Are those high wear areas or do they do that for other reasons?

I'm seeing a TON of Teslas around here. Maybe it's some of you! My name's Barry and I live in the Cupertino Foothills (280 and Foothill Expressway near Apple). I'm not in high tech believe it or not, but most of my friends are. Got a Blue with Tan interior coming at the end of October. Anyone...

I'm really having a hard time deciding if I should get the Gray with Tan Interior or the Blue with Tan Interior. The only thing I know for sure is that I want the Tan interior... Can you put Dark Gray with Tan? SHOULD you put Dark Gray with Tan? It's my favorite combo, but just not sure how well...

I'm thinking of adding it and was wondering if you who have it, feel it was a worthwhile investment. Has anyone compared ride quality with and without? - - - Updated - - - How does one edit a post here? I did not mean to post this here.

I just ordered my Tesla and i'm still in the two week grace period where I can add features. Has anyone compared the ride characteristics between an active air equipped Tesla and one with the standard suspension? I tested one today without the Active Air and I can't imagine how it could be much...
