Let me rephrase the question... The "old" P85+ had suspension upgrades which made it handle better than the normal P85. It looks like now the upgraded suspension is only available on the P85D. What difference does the dual motor have on the actual handling - lets say having fun racing down a...

Concavo CW-S5 Quality? Looks? Picture below, then video link to YouTube video at bottom. Tesla Model S on Concavo CW-S5 Deep Concave Wheels / Rims - YouTube

Just wondering if Tesla plans on coming out with any new paint colors in the near future? What colors would you like to see?

In preparation for this Summer's delivery of my MS, I would like to transfer my somewhat large music collection (about 3000 CDs) onto a hard drive that can be stored in the center console. I'm "old school" with this kind of thing, having used only vinyl and CDs, so have very little experience...

Okay, SEVEN questions (I couldn't modify the title). I've been getting conflicting answers (even from a Tesla rep) on what the EXACT differences are between the standard and upgraded (Studio Standard?) $2500 system. Yes, I have ordered the TECH PACKAGE. I understand the upgraded has XM, a...

Apparently, Spotify didn't want to be courted? Rdio teams up with Tesla for its first automotive integration Tech News and Analysis Looks to be slated for the European market though, at first. Seems that the kbps streaming rate could be better as well, for better sound.

I received a call from a lovely Tesla rep this morning. She told me that my car (not delivered yet) qualified for an option of having an obeche matte horizontal grain. I wonder if they'll offer both the vertical and horizontal - or if they will drop the current vertical. Anyway, what do you...

Recently, I've noticed several classified listings posted by very new members. There was a nice set of stock 19" wheels, and tires posted as a first post. The picture showed Goodyear tires, however the poster stated Michelin. There is currently a used (March 2013) white S85 for about $15,000...

. On this car: P85. Gray exterior, with dark gray wheels (see picture below) . Which color calipers look better? A. Red (now part of the Performance Package) B. Black (stock) . ** Bonus points to anyone who has pics of red calipers on gray ** Vote Here...

I'm hoping they'll come out with some nice new offerings.

With the expense of replacing 21" tires, and the 19" wheels looking (to me) a little too small - the 20" seems to be the "sweet spot". I was wondering if there would be enough interest in a 20" cyclone wheel to make it worth it for Tesla to offer it. Rial makes a similar looking wheel, but I...

I REALLY like the service: MOG The main reason is once you join up ($5 a month for computer only, $10 a month for both computer and cellphone) you can search for artists and see (and hear) their complete CDs in their entirety. Just like you purchased them. You can "favorite" a whole CD, or...

Will the Tesla batteries exhibit the dreaded "battery memory effect" if the owner puts in short charges?

I've been contributing to the "Model S" thread over at The Gear Page - Powered by vBulletin (excellent forum, btw, for musicians). A question came up on how much impact using the AC has on range, and I don't know the answer. Would someone please educate me? Thank you! Here's a direct link to...

I spoke with a shop down here in Southern California (Orange County) I'm considering to use to perform paint correction, XPEL Ultimate, tint, etc. He mentioned that it would be best if I had any electronics I may want to add (Radar detector, stereo, electronic PEZ dispenser, etc.) done first...

Over the years there have been a few reports of "unintended acceleration" in various car models. While some of these may possibly be attributed to driver error, some are most likely true. In either case, would it be possible to install an emergency "kill switch" (maybe mounted in an...

although I like the interior of the Model S, the craftsmanship and "fit and finish" don't seem to be quite to the level of some of the offerings from other manufacturers. It would be neat if there was a factory option (other than the "Extended Leather") to bring the interior more on par with...

Before I finalized, the sales guy talked me out of the Twin Chargers. He said with the ever-increasing Super Charging stations, I probably won't need it. After finalizing (and since my Tesla's delivery date was intentionally chosen to be as far off as possible - August, 2014) I phoned Tesla to...

I'm really interested in seeing what the difference is. Thank you!

Single driver, Oregon plates and registration. Can driver legally use California carpool lanes (I'm guessing no). Thanks!

I test drove a P85+ in Newport Beach. Running through a corner really hard, I noticed that although the car itself hugged the turn I felt a "floaty" sensation. Although I'm not sure, I thought I felt the air suspension "correcting" for the corner... and it felt a little strange (especially in...

Best shop for "paint correction" in Portland, OR? I hit the finalize button and am creating a list of things to be done. First on that list is I'd like to have the P85 delivered straight to an experienced detail shop in or around Portland, Oregon. Who's considered the "best"?

I guess finalizing my design on October 4th got me thinking about garages. Home sits up on a hill on a dead end two lane highway, so not much traffic. Electric gated entry leads up driveway. Here are a few pictures:

Hello! I've decided I'll be purchasing a Model S within the next six months, so thought it would be a good idea to join this forum and learn as much as I can about this car (and Tesla, the company, in general). From reading through the posts I can see I've come to the right place! I did have...
