    First time to RED battery on road trip... Austin->Houston->Austin in 1 day

    Nice trip report, agree about the need for more Superchargers in this neck of the woods. I'm glad I titled the car in Florida, don't have to deal with the front license plate and Texas inspection stickers, which take up half of the front windshield.

    Long-term ownership opinions on black interior in sunny climate sought

    Old Blue / black with no pano in San Antonio. Yes, it gets very hot inside, even with the best heat resistant tint I could get, but a couple of minutes with the a/c on, even with no pre-cooling, gets the temp down fast. When I bought, I heard not so good stories of wear on tan seats, so I went...

    What I've realized after Dipping my Car

    Darren, Kushari: both of you cars look fantastic, and I am seriously considering this myself. Question: Did you dip your sills? If not, how does it look? I am starting with the blue/black color and want to go matte light metallic copper or blue-ish. I don't think there would be too much of...

    What I've realized after Dipping my Car

    Darren, I have CQuartz on my car (had it applied in 2013), and I would guess that this would not stick. Thoughts? Also, I am here in Texas in 100 degree weather. Is the cure time pretty fast-ish? Closest dealer is in Houston, about 3 hours away. Thanks.

    Ideas for Safety - For Those Who Drive Poorly

    I like the garage door opener idea. I always seem to hit the homelink main button when trying to open or close the garage door.

    If gas were $0.66 per gallon......

    Absolutely. There are so many things the car just does right: regen braking so I don't have to use brake pads that wear out to slow down; software updates; the promise of apps for the car; the fluidity of the driving experience...the list goes on. Plus not having to waste time at the gas...

    Will you trade up to "D"?

    Keeping my plain old 2013 85 for another while yet. The autopilot feature might be fun, but can it compensate for the D-bags on the road here in Texas?

    how many kept your old ICE around as a backup? And how long before selling it?

    Got rid ot both of my ICE cars, one as a trade in for the MS, the second a few months after delivery. Have not regretted the decision.

    Custom floor mats

    I have to second nkohlimd. I have a Blue/Black MS and I purchased the Black mats with Navy Blue piping. Could not be happier. Jerry was awesome to work with: he sent me many pictures of different designs and colors and we discussed the options at length over the phone. Mats were made and...

    FS: P85+ Black/Black, 600 Miles, Mint - Austin, TX - SOLD

    Don't want to get in your business but is there someone in the area you trust with keeping the car for you? How about driving it to stay with family?

    Model S Pole Crash.

    I guess this proves its a safe car. Heaven forbid I get hit by a drunk driver, but if I did, I know the car could take it.

    How much more did you spend on your Model S than you would have on your next car?

    Next was probably going to be an Audi S6, so about $10 more for the MS.

    Wrapped the car painted the rims

    I was thinking of full wrap for the car. Whats the average life of the 3M? Any concerns with yellowing, peeling, etc.? How easy is it to take off?

    Tesla Vs GM ---> 3rd gen competition on horizon!

    Competition is always good: drive down prices, drive up quality. Though GM has its work cut out for them if they want to compete with the pure enjoyment and beauty of the Tesla. Bring it on...

    Vendor One Nice Brown Tesla S...First one I've seen this color.

    Thats pretty sharp...the tiny color swatches in the stores/galleries don't do it justice.

    Charging props at stores?

    I agree. Another thing that I was thinking would be nice, on the US/Europe map, have an actual picture of the Supercharger location that you select. That way you know what to expect when you are driving there (if that was online too, that would be great...)

    Online ordering all weather interior mat

    How do you like the winter mats? I have not seen them in person, but I have used WeatherTech products before, and I like them. Any issues with these? Good fit?

    Business Ideas involving an S, to pay for the S

    I could see this working out well. With the amount of crappy "limos" I see frequently, it would be a nice change to have a classy car to be chauffeured around in.

    American Standard Window Film, any good?

    Try Tintdude forums at: http://www.tintdude.com I have not used American Standard before. After doing some research on a few brands, decided on 3M Crystalline. Seems to have high ratings for other, high end cars, and MS's as well. Good luck.

    Hanging the charging cable

    I installed the Gladiator wall tracks for my other garage items. Its right above where I put the outlet, so I use a Gladiator hook.

    Tesla S - Daily Driver or Second Car?

    When it arrives, plan is to sell the truck and use this as daily driver and only car. Work is close by (~10 mi) and plans to drive all over the place on the weekends.

    U Texas Daily Texan editorial on Tesla

    Hopefully stories like this will help change this outdated law. I can't tell you what a pain in the a$$ it has been to purchase the MS in Texas. Many thanks to all of the TMC individuals who went out of their way to make the process as smooth as possible.
