    How can I tell if I have the P+ suspension on my P85D?

    I'm almost positive that the answer to this question is already posted on here somewhere but several searches have not quite revealed the answer. My car was delivered in late February, VIN 69359, and has staggered 21" wheels which I think suggests that I have the P+ suspension but I'm not 100%...

    My biggest (only?) annoyance with the TMC layout

    As with any website I'm sure I could come up with a list of suggestions for improvements; however, by and large I use the site without much trouble and I have my own way of using things - thanks for a great forum!. That said, there is one thing that always catches me out. I often use Quick Links...

    Reputation points?

    Hi, I couldn't help noticing that despite having over 1,000 posts now I still only have one reputation bar - possibly giving me some kind of terrible record for lowest number of reputation points per 1000 posts. I don't take it too seriously but i guess it reflects on the quality of my posts...

    First P85D adopters stuck in black hole

    Hopefully the title isn't too emotive but I feel that there needs to be somewhere for those of us that are stuck in limbo (better word?). But this I mean: ordered very early build started in first 2-3 weeks of P85D production still stuck in build or completion absolutely nobody knows where...

    Germany’s Auto Motor & Sport calls Model S sound system “extraordinary"

    Tesla tweeted this today: Germany’s Auto Motor & Sport calls Model S sound system “extraordinary". Beats Audi A7’s Bang & Olufsen for 1/3 price. I haven't seen any more on this but it seems pretty surprising. I've never really has a concern with the sound system but my ears are dulled from...

    P85D Safety Rating?

    I was showing my son a picture of the new P85D frunk and he pointed out that this change might have some effect on the safety behaviour of the car. This observation is based on the fact that the front crumple zone is smaller than it was and the front motor is now part of the area that could be...

    executive seats?

    Looking at the online manual for 6.0 i notice under climate controls a reference to executive seats that apparently allow the second row seats to heat the back or seat seperately(if equipped with the winter package). not sure if this is another name for next generation seats? Interesting feature...

    Auto Air Suspension Raising can be annoying

    I wrote about this in the Version 6.0 thread but nobody seemed to agree with this concern so I thought I would open this up as I can't imagine I'm the only person that has this problem. Basically there are a few places where I raise my suspension in order to enter a back alley where they have...

    Cost of Selling Cars on TMC?

    Hi I was going to post an ad on the forum for my P85+ but at the point where I fill in the payment information it is basically assessing a 5% cost for advertising on TMC. Is that normal? on 120,000 selling price that would be: $6,000 charge for advertising and the tool is actually showing a net...

    Random UK Tesla Sightings

    Not sure if a "random sightings" thread specifically for the UK will take off - there is a general one already though it seems to be predominantly North America based. I'm mostly posting this because I'm visiting the UK (used to live here) and given the short time that Tesla has been selling...

    The wrong focus on range anxiety?

    It is only recently after driving a Tesla for several months and occasionally having to drive our other (ICE) vehicle that I realize that the reality of range anxiety is the opposite of most people's perception. That is to say, I think that range anxiety is a much more common problem with an ICE...

    Tesla Frunk Surprise

    Couldn't resist posting this. My mother in law is notoriously difficult to impress with new cars. In the past when I upgraded to an Infiniti M37x from a Dodge Avenger she basically said "just looks like the same car to me". When I was waiting for the Tesla I didn't tell her much about it but...

    Navigation picks random alternatives to unknown locations

    I think ultimately I will ask Tesla Service about this but I'm wondering if this is a known "thing". I'll give two examples. 1. I asked the system to navigate to xxxx Northmount drive N.W. Calgary. It brought up an item that appeared to match but I realized after that it said xxxx North Mount...

    Getting locked out of the car

    I've only had my car a month and I had to go away today. I took our other ICE car to the airport because I didn't want to deal with the valet parking or leave my car in the lot. That means my wife now "had" to drive my MS. She was actually pretty happy but in the course of one day managed to...

    Full Xpel Wrap on Metallic Blue (Calgary, Refine Auto)

    Hi, I promised a couple of people that I would share photos of the wrapped car. I don't have a final beautiful photo with a nice back drop but I'm including a couple of pictures where the car is partially wrapped in the shop so people can see the difference (or lack of difference) as well as a...

    Increasing electrical service to the home

    I imagine this varies tremendously between countries, and even here in Canada between provinces and cities but I thought I would share this as I know there will be helpful input. I have a 150 amp service. All heating in the house is gas but I do have a hot tub, AC, in floor heating, electric...

    New Seats and Retro Fit Seats - Does anyone know when?

    Seat improvements? I noticed in the Oslo townhall meeting with Elon Musk that when he talked about improvements to the seats he said that one part of the improvements would probably go into production in the next week or two. As my car has just started building today, I'm wondering what the...
