    My first few days with the 3...

    First observations, maybe I don't know how yet because I haven’t read the manual, but these are the things that I noticed compared to our early 2014 S, keep in mind my S is an older S with no autopilot, so I added which I liked better in which car. - 100% charge only charged to 306, 90% was 276...

    Service backog, especially in CA....

    I know Elon said they are going to open more service centers, but things are pretty crazy in CA/Bay Area. Set an appointment for annual service and first available was over 1 month out. Then when I get to the appointment, they say they are very backlog and probably wont get to even have the car...

    Recent service visit and balloon squeal stance... overall good experience

    2014 March delivery with about 33k+ miles Never had the balloon squeal in my car even in full acceleration, but about recently in the last maybe 5-10k it showed up and I started to hear it on a particular onramp to the freeway that I always floor it on because it's long and has an incline...

    Risks of auto lock....

    As I watched numerous drivers leave their car at superchargers, I noticed everyone relies on the autolock when they walk away. The problem is, I see that it would be very easy for someone to just walk up and open the door in the window you walk away at. The two people who just walked away didn't...

    Refreshing website creating issues.... tesla-waze site

    Recently, I've gotten into the car and press the brake and it says Systems starting up, but the center console never comes up. Parking Assist is disabled. After waiting a longtime, I end up having to reboot the console. Contacted my service center and they remotely looked into the car and said...

    Consumer Reports reliability of Model S - worse than average

    I personally have had a lot of little issue. Since it's all covered under warranty, I've been okay with it. I'm concerned after warranty, which is going to be in under 3 years for me and buying the extended warranty just isn't worth it because of the deductible. Looks like the little issues are...

    Rated vs Actual @ 291 wh/mi

    So I've never been able to really get below 300 wh/mi and I've heard that Rated to Actual is at around 290 wh/mi. But I just charged to 80% which gave me a 206 Rated charge on my S85. After 98.1 actual miles using 28.5 kwh and a 291 wh/mi, I'm still not getting 1 to 1 rated to actual, as the...

    Crowded Superchargers in CA....

    I don't know about other places, but did my first longer trip and used a few superchargers. Tejon, Harris, and Gilroy. All 3 had over 50% spaces filled and two of them were 100% or more filled at some point I was charging. Did get to see a P85D, but also noticed that most of the people there...

    Key not in car message turned out to be a bad antenna...

    Probably seen in the other thread that one of my door handles causes the door to open, so took the car in for it's 6th service visit in 8 months. Gathered a bunch of other little items to provide them when they took care of this issue. One of them was that every once in a while, I would get a...

    Handles still an issue?

    I know early cars had issues with the door handles. My car was delivered 03/14 and I thought it was late enough to have the issues ironed out, but upon initial delivery my front passenger door would not open consistently. That had to go in twice to get fixed. Recently my rear passenger door...

    Car doesn't lock when door is not shut all the way

    Was walking away from car and noticed the car was not auto locking. So tried to use the app to lock the car and it wouldn't lock. Turns out the car will not lock if one of the doors sit not shut all the way at the the first release. A traditional car will still lock and can not be open even at...

    Actual miles since last charge + rated miles left not adding up @ < 300wh/mi

    Need a little help reconciling actual miles driven. So everyone talks about how much you can actually drive and how you drive affects the distance you can drive. I've been trying to understand what my real usage at various charge levels would be. I've heard all types of advice like give...

    WARNING: Gorilla Wheel Locks...

    I purchased the Gorilla Wheel locks recommended from this thread. I had Tesla install them on my car. After about 5500 miles, I mentioned that I felt a little pulsation when I braked at high speeds. They looked at it and said the rotors are warped from one wheel and the lug bolt is stripped. I...

    Wireless asks to setup wireless connection when it's already connected to wireless?!?

    I've seen people asking about disable setting up wireless because they don't have a wireless connection where they are parking, but my car keeps asking me to connect to wireless when it's already connected to the wireless. Is there away to stop it?

    Normal? My rated range and start of decrease....

    Normal 90% charge has been 240 miles. Car is just over 2 months, with about 3,300+ miles on it. Rated range at 90% is now 238 miles. Also, when people usually ask me how many miles can you go, I conservatively say around 200 miles. However, this past usage, I ran the car down to it's lowest...

    Hide the large speed number in the speedometer?

    While I love the speedometer, I don't really like the large digits showing my speed. Especially when my child can see it and starts to say things about hypothetical speeds he may or may not have seen the numbers go up to. Any thoughts on this? Am I just nuts?

    How do you have your displays setup? (Touchscreen and Dash)

    I've been fiddling with what to put on both the dash and on the touchscreen top and bottom and can't find what the best config is. So I thought I'd see what other drives use as their main configuration. I understand you'll change things, but in general I'd be curious to see what is your goto...

    Is this normal rear door functionality when locked?

    In order to open the rear passenger doors from inside when the car is locked, you have to pull the inside handles twice in order to open the door? The first pull doesn't open, then the second pull opens.

    Custom Settings Page?

    As I jump through different menu screens, I thought it would be cool to have a customized tab on the Controls page, where the drive profile would remember what you wanted as frequently access settings all on a single page. Anyone else think it would be a good idea? Maybe just holding a button...

    Actual Tire Pressure numbers?

    My 8 year old Acura shows actual tire pressure for each tire, but I don't see anything like that for the Model S. Is that something coming? It's a good way to see if there's a slow leak in a tire. I ask this because I've already had the TPMS replaced in my week old car, so made me wonder more...

    Wheel Locks?

    Does anyone get them for the stock 19"? Also, can I use wheel locks from another car? I have 3 cars with wheel locks, could I just use those instead?

    Supercharger Crowding?

    As more and more Tesla's become available, thoughts about true availability to the free Supercharging network? Especially in places like CA, I've seen posts about Hawthorne having long wait times, I figure Coalinga and Gilroy to start to become an issue. What do you do if a supercharger is...

    Driving style...

    I'm new here, but have been lurking for quite some time. I had a question about driving style. I don't necessarily drive fast, but when on the freeway, I drive 70-90. Which I understand eats up power. How many of you changed your driving style because of having the electric car? I see lots of...
