I was wondering what people use to develop sites for the Tesla in-car browser. The reason I ask is that I've run into a weird conundrum where I build a page from various code snippets (in php) and need to load a script in the middle of the page because that's where the snippet is right now. I...

We know that max-pain does affect monthly expiries so today it's at $200 today and the stock is glued to not far from it. The poll is open for 2h

I know the analysts research notes are usually sent to their customers and on the public side we only see the price targets and some quotes. But is there some way to access the full notes, probably for a fee. I'd like to read a few more serious in-depth notes on SCTY to fully understand their...

Just tried to book a fully loaded P90DL and got this nice e-mail: What the hell is that? For an S70D that's more than the downpayment most financing companies take (usually 10-20%). Any clues as to what the hell is happening?

It seems that in the past month or so an annoying issue crept up with chademo. Namely at random our cars (we have four) can't charge on chademo stations. The session starts, but the amps aren't ramped to max, but stop somewhere in between (where is random, sometimes 40A, sometimes 60A also 75A...

So I run a Tesla rental business with another owner and we're expanding and as can be guessed in the rental model we get more frequently issues that might need a Tesla service visit or expert... I have previously had ranger visits and in fact when I bought the car in 2013 being confirmed that...

Well it took a while, but we've now got a Tesla rental service available in Estonia. In theory the neighbouring countries could benefit from it as well, especially our finnish colleagues. As an added twist, you can pay in bitcoins besides bank transfers. We're adding credit cards soon. Tesla...

I think it's time to start the next thread as well. According to NSF forum sources the official no earlier than date is still September 19th although a possible delay to 28th is discussed already, mostly because it's extremely unlikely that the pad can be turned around in 12 days even if the...

Well the current planned launch according to Spaceflight Now is August 4th for the AsiaSat 8 satellite with a launch window of 5:25-7:25AM GMT. Let's hope this launch has less hiccups than the OG-2 launch had :)

(mod note: split from this CRS-3 thread) Elon just posted: Video to follow tomorrow.

Tesla has just announced on a blog post creation of Tesla Financials that will offer companies leases for Model S's Tesla Business Leasing | Blog | Tesla Motors As I wasn't sure if this should go under short or long term thread I created a new one and after we debate a bit the mods can merge...

So I wasn't quite sure if to put this thread here or in Battery and charging, but as it's directly related to suspension changing I thought here more appropriate. So my question as someone who's never experienced the low setting (still not gotten my 5.9 yet) is how much of an impact it has on...

Well I have to say that I'm impressed with the Model S. About a week ago we'd had already weeks of snow free time and weather was turning warm (multiple + degrees throughout the day and night), birds singing, flowers blooming etc. So full on spring. I decided that I didn't want to drive around...

Just got an e-mail from Tesla: [/FONT][/COLOR] The show runs 6-16.03.2014. It'll also be the event where the European Car of the Year will be announced and Model S is one of the 7 finalists.

I think this is even more a Tesla ad than Vossen one ;)

Kurbadz, the transport company, who delivered our Model S from Tilburg to Tallinn made a short clip about the cars and transport including interviews with us, the new owners :) drives into the Baltic market - Tesla model S - YouTube

I remember that whenever I read the forums people were discussing Ideal and Rated ranges. Now that I have the car the only place I've found that changes the range indicated shows two options: Rated and Typical. It seems the Rated range is based on ~180Wh/km from the line on the energy graph and...

I live in a location where I have to turn straight onto a highway with no ramp and no acceleration lane (yeah I know it's a bit weird) and that means that during morning commute I have to make a hard 90 degree turn and then floor it to get to 90km/h asap so as to not obstruct any traffic. All my...

it seems the Model S visors weren't quite designed for Nordic countries. In the winter the sun (when it's shining at all) is low on the horizon throughout the day, not just during rise/set. Right now the Model S visors are extremely small and it makes you sit upright uncomfortably to get any...

I'd be interested if there is an accurate charge time calculator. The charging curve is non-linear therefore it takes a different time if one charges from 0 remaining range to 100 km or from 400 km remaining range to 500 km (max NEDC range). It would be very useful to have in planning longer...

So I'm curious how Tesla is gathering charger information for the map and would love if someone with an EU Model S could check if you find chargers in Estonia (there should be in fact ~200 of them) and Latvia (~10, only one Type-II) and Lithuania (no clue). If there are none, then does anyone...

Well in reality it's two Model S's, but one will continue its way to Finland immediately and be registered there so that kind of only half counts ;) Also I'm currently guessing that they are the first two cars because at least on 31.10.2013 there were 0 registered Model S's in Estonia, I will...

Let's assume that I'm driving home and have to go through 0.5-1m of snow to get there and at some point my luck runs out and I get stuck. Now if I call a friend with his 4x4 can I pullt he Model S out? The car itself would be considered working, just no traction. Same goes for the reverse...

The standard specs that Tesla gives for 19" wheels are Wheel Specifications General Production (19 inch) Bolt circle (5x120mm) Hub center diameter (64mm) Wheel bolt size (M14) and cone angle (60°) The bolt circle pattern is 5x120mm. The hub center diameter is: 64mm Bolt size: M14x1.5, 60 degree...

It seems in the wilder parts of EU where there are very very few chargers available they tend to be of the SAE J1772 type which are for Leaf, Volt etc. As I understand that adapter is supplied by default with the Model S in US, but not in EU. Does anyone know if it's possible to get an...

Considering the influx of reports of everyone and their uncle getting to In Production status on Nov 1st it's looking like this might be a software glitch. It would help if someone who has Sourcing Parts would report it here. If noone has that, then for sure this must be software hiccup and all...

well I'm trying to figure out if the M-F Type-II to Type-II cable is the right cable for EU Model S to charge at the various Type-II charging stations in EU. Basically I'm planning on buying this one: Power Cords, PDUs and Shore Power Connections It's a male-to-female cable. What's the...

The Nobel prize for Physics is announced in just 1-2 minutes here: Nobelprize.org Will see if Higgs discovery is recognized or not :)

Well I've not yet even got my Model S, but I've documented my saga of wanting one up until the VIN yesterday on Facebook and it seems friends of friends keep sharing this so now when ever I go somewhere it feels as if the whole Estonia knows that I'm buying a Model S. Just yesterday I gave a...

Tesla Model S suveren i september - Motor - Hegnar Online It seems that Tesla has sold 616 Model S's during September. Last news was that the first two weeks were 322 cars so albeit a slight smaller amount the second two week period did come close and the total is now close to 800 cars. That's...

ADAC EcoTest: Renault Zoe und Tesla Model S Original article is in german, but it basically states that two EVs (Renault Zoe and Model S) received 5 star rating in the Eco test with Model S being the first high/middle end car to reach it. Points wise the MS got the highest ranking with 98...

Well I had heard that you need to reset the TPMS once you replace the tires so I wanted to get a confirmation and a solution because I live outside of core market and need to swap tires 2x per year (real winter and summer tires). So this is what I got as a reply from Tesla: So this for me is...

As I've pretty much read through the forum from one end to the other and my Model S will only arrive in January I thought of starting yet another time killer thread (I just can't work...). There are always tons of questions people have and when they hear I work at CERN they offload them to me :)...

I'm selling my Evo X in anticipation of the arrival of my Model S :) However the car is in Estonia so probably interesting mostly to EU customers :) Here's the car on a local sales page that lists all of its tech (though Evo X GSR pretty much defines it anyway) and has pics: Mitsubishi Lancer...

Just curious, I've seen on some pics MS-s with custom colors (the pink one comes to mind immediately). Do people get it redone after delivery or is there a shot at getting Tesla to do a custom color from the factory already? Just curious.

Didn't fare too well on the teslamotors.com forum, hopefully there are some more Estonians lurking here so that we can start chatting about what and how to manage our Teslas here :) As a start I discovered today that the EU service page lists the service centers AND the ranger coverage region...

So I've already confirmed my S85 with black leather and black trim and now decided to upgrade to P85. With that at least in EU configuration it opens up the CF spoiler and CF trim. I do somewhat like CF so I wanted to know if someone has black leather and black interior with CF trim and could...

Just did my test drive in the MS yesterday, the car was a multicolor red P85+ and did it in Geneva. I have to say even though I was going in with very high expectations from everything I've read here I was still blown away with the car Chatted with Jacque (the rep) about the car, the 3G service...

I'm curious, how is it done? A precise measure would be if there were a sensor inside the tire however that seems unlikely as people use 3rd party rims and tires and I assume people rotate/replace the tires at home or have a local grease monkey do it. Here in Estonia we need to swap out the...

I was curious as to what people use to visualize their portfolio behavior over time. Most tools that allow direct market access have very limited data on the portfolio history and even if they do they mostly don't really show the history in a graphical representation etc. Right now I have an...

I'm not from Tesla core market country so will have to pick up my car from Tilburg or organize that it gets delivered to me. I could take the option of getting it delivered, but I'd miss out then on being able to do a check on the car before accepting it and having something pop up that might...

So which tires are included? Right now it seems the delivery would be in January which would mean that the car has to come with winter tires I assume. Then again people who receive one now get them with summer tires. Will that mean that everyone will only have the set of tires they got from...

So I'm curious as to what kind of protection is in place for the battery from down below. As I understand the side, front and rear impacts are unlikely to damage it due to its central location and being part of the cars superstructure, but damage from below is realistic. If driven outside of...

Trying to get insurance in Estonia and it's priced in the clouds (~7800-8500 eur / year for the S85). After haggling they say they don't know repair costs so it's priced high. Could get it lowered if I found out the following costs: * Front bumper * Hood * Windshield * side windows * Battery...

Has anyone had a battery replacement? As part of an insurance case or something similar, not as a warranty replacement. My insurance is extremely skeptical about the costs and want to know what replacing the battery costs as they're really afraid of this single cost. I'm trying to convince them...
