    Auto Parallel Parking feature working for anyone?

    I have only had one opportunity to use parallel parking. In Atlanta, it is not common. Two weeks ago I saw a large space on the street in front of my golf club. I followed the instructions, and after I was past the space I saw the P indicator. I put the car in reverse and pressed the...

    Supercharger - Greenville, SC

    I have an update from court records for Greenville County. The lawsuit between the two property owners is on a trial calendar for Judge Hill for the week of August 24. It is case #54 - not sure what that means. I also noted that a motion filing fee was paid on June 23. link -...

    Supercharger - Mobile, AL

    I was in Mobile on Tuesday (2/3) and can report that there was no construction activity at that time. - - - Updated - - - I am in this area every three months, staying at a hotel that is one block from the mall. I don't think of the area as dangerous in any way. I think it is a good choice...

    Can Ultra High Fidelity be added after delivery?

    uhhh-duhhh. (sounds of embarrassment). I was wrong. The car was built correctly, and I misunderstood where the subwoofer was when I spoke to delivery. The only problem was lack of XM on screen. I did reboot two times to no avail. When I got 6.1 on Friday, the XM showed up. I cancelled the...

    Can Ultra High Fidelity be added after delivery?

    Yes, the subwoofer is a good giveaway, but the first thing I noticed was that I didn't have SiriusXM radio.

    Can Ultra High Fidelity be added after delivery?

    They didn't tell me what was involved, just that they would install the needed elements to upgrade it.

    Can Ultra High Fidelity be added after delivery?

    Good News. I got a call yesterday, and Tesla will be installing Ultra High Fidelity next week. I appreciate all of the comments from other forum members.

    Check my math - guaranteed value and TCO

    In these three secenarios, you made payments for the car for 3 or 4 years, but you can't sell the car and get the proceeds until you pay off the balance of the loan.

    Can Ultra High Fidelity be added after delivery?

    It was Tesla's mistake - I ordered and paid for the Untra High Fidelity Sound. This is my second MS, my first also had Ultra High Fidelity Sound. There is a specific channel on SiriusXM that I want to have, and I want the better sound quality also. If aftermarket would work through the...

    Can Ultra High Fidelity be added after delivery?

    If anyone knows for sure, that would be great. If you would like to speculate, that is fine. The situation is that I picked up my P85D yesterday, and Ultra High Fidelity was left off by mistake. I am waiting to hear from Tesla for solutions.

    Electrical Savings with Georgia Power TOU Rate

    I just checked my Ga Power bill. I have the EV TOU rate giving me very low cost between 11pm and 7am. I calculated that my bill would have been $90 higher if I was on a standard plan. Then just for fun, I fugured out how much juice went into the car, I added 20% for charging loss. So I was...

    Yes, Commerce is a nice place to stop, but it is over 280 miles from Burlington. The Hampton Inn on Woodruff Road in Greenville is 200 miles from Brulington.

    Supercharger - Greenville, SC

    Greenville could be a while. the combination of Commerce, GA and Charlotte, NC would also get you to Atlanta. There are lots of level 2 chargers in Atlanta, but if you need a quick charge, send me a message and you can use my HPWC. There is a Hampton Inn near the supercharger site in Greenville...

    A bit more information. On the Navarro Real Estate site (http://www.navarrorealestate.com/deal_portfolio.php) there is a listing for acquisition and re-development services for Smith Chapel Holdings LLC. Apparently they are buying the former plant that is right behind "The Point" shopping...

    I also found the lawsuit records. The Point owner DDR is being defended by Nelson Mullins, a firm that I previously used. I sent an email to William Brown, attorney for DDR asking for an update. I will forward any information that I get.

    Did any of you order your Tesla sight unseen?

    I ordered mine having only seen a few on the streets - no test drive or even seeing the interior. Ordered 8/13, delivery 11/13. I could have done a test drive in Marietta, Ga (16 miles from my house), but I wanted my first drive to be in my car. No regrets.

    Is the Tesla discrete enough?

    Aha! It took me a minute to figure that out also!

    Help Problem with HPWC

    I charged for 2 hours @ 110/12 with no problem. Then I plugged in the HPWC. Started at 242V, when it got to 80A it was at 237V. The breaker tripped in about 30 minutes. I set the amps down to 60 in the car, and the charge completed. The breaker switch felt a bit warm right after it tripped...

    Help Problem with HPWC

    Had a problem charging the last two nights. Chances are that I will need to try some other things to figure out the problem, but I just thought I would ask for some suggestions on what the problem might be. Sorry that I don't have complete data, but here is what I have. I charged Sunday night...

    Going from Atlanta to Charleston this Friday (7/25). I guess I will be going through Macon and Savannah (about 10 miles farther, and less freeway).

    How has Model S changed since the debut?

    All car companies use age as one element in determining insurance cost. When a car is totalled, the value is partially determined by age. I admit with Tesla, mileage may be more important factor, but the insurance models use model year as a factor (and then they usually can adjust for higher...

    Supercharger - Greenville, SC

    Picture of Construction I was at the site this morning while returning from Atlanta from Long Island, NY. I spoke to the construction crew. They have not yet received the Tesla equipment - expecting today or tomorrow, but they have dug out channels and installed the conduit. The pads for the...

    Help! I am getting cold feet

    Chipper and Todd: Excellent responses. OP: The Model S is not a perfect car for all circumstances. But it does perform very well in icing conditions (I live in Atlanta, and proved that last week). I bought driving gloves for when I forget to pre-heat the car. I rarely use them since the car...

    Cross country last leg, owners by 5am in DE

    They should be there, or very close by now. I haven't seen anything on the web or cable news yet. Please post any update available. Thanks.

    P85 is in my opinion, a total waste of money compared to the regular 85 kw version!

    OP's opinion doesn't bother me. I got the P85 because I wanted the accelleration. I didn't get P85+ because I don't use the full accelleration (except in straight-line demonstrations). I'm happy with what I have and lucky that I could pay the $10k extra without worrying about it.

    S85 Owners: Do you wish you had bought S60 instead

    Originally ordered S85 switched to P85. two years ago I thought I would order a 40. However with superchargers, only an 85 should be considered. I commute 3 miles each way - 10k per year. P85 for me. Loving it, just passed 1200 miles.

    No Test Drive - Anyone else like me?

    Ordered S85 on 9/9 confirmed 9/10, upgraded to P85 in October, Deliver scheduled for 11/11 in Marietta, Georgia. Here is the kicker. I have never driven one. The first one I drive will be mine. Anyone else with me, or see my point?

    I just called and made my own request to upgrade from S85 to P85. Order Placed 9/9, confirmed 9/10, no production date as yet. I was told that I should hear something in a day or two, but the rep sounded positive about the request.

    Is there a delay start feature for charging

    I ordered my Model S this week. Georgia Power has a special rate for PEV owners, highly discounted between 11pm and 7am. Is there an automated way to delay the start of the charging process?
