I've been bothered for quite a while how each software "update" seems to make the interface worse. Starting way back when they removed map colors. Grey background and gray roads - a brilliant idea - but traffic lines show me the roads. Then they removed green traffic lines. Now I can't tell a...

I only learned this last night: apparently heavy traffic (dark red) has changed to a sort of light pink color in the night map. First I should disclose I'm still on 8.1, it may be relevant. My car is a 2013 without the tech package, so no NAV. Last night I set out for a round trip about 40...

Is there an equivalent vehicle that uses a matching brake rotor? Tesla's prices are still outrageous. I have exhausted my search capabilities. I was hoping to find a wiki with parts cross references, but I don't think there is one. Definitely need new fronts, but it'd be nice to know rears too.

Once in a while I go through the Model S ordering options. It's been a while and I just went in today - holy cow, there are no options! How long has it been this sparse? 5 colors, 3 preset interior options, 3 wheel options, and AP or not. I know they've been reducing interior options, but no...

I thought I'd share a strange problem, that I may have created myself. This past weekend when entering the car to return home, the driver's door handle came out and didn't open the door. That single handle self retracted, then extended fully to it's limit without opening the door. The window...

Did Tesla change their policy, or is my service supposed to lapse at the end of this month? Has anybody with a 2012 or 1013 Model S been contacted about the end of their 3G (or LTE if you've upgraded) service? Has Tesla changed this policy? Some communication might be - oh wait...

I searched and didn't find anybody else with a similar issue. Yesterday, all of a sudden, my steering started making some bad noises - clunks and screeches. Today I removed the tub and found 2 of the 3 bolts that mount the electric steering assist to the rack had sheared off. Another 2 bolts...

I mentioned in the idle fees thread that my smartphone indicates supercharging when I'm home. Yesterday I happened to get to the car before if finished charging. I didn't know until then that the car reads the same. Has anybody else seen this? How long will it be until my idle fees are... One...

I'm on a cross country road trip. The last time I recall going towards the bottom of the battery, I got a power restriction of about 160kW at 30 rated miles remaining. I just arrived at a supercharger with 14 remaining, and no dotted yellow line. I was a little disappointed that my 100% this...

I was suspicious when I placed the car into Neutral and just like before, the energy gauge dropped slightly about 2 seconds later. So I repeated a test I did with earlier versions. In a level driveway, stopped in Drive, foot off the brake, creep off of course, switching between D and R yields...

I took a day trip to Dillon`s music store in Woodbridge, NJ today. (Typing on the screen at East Greenwich.) When I got there and took a mouthpiece from my gig bag in the (rear) trunk, the latch failed. Since I was planning to stop at Paramus to charge anyway, I gave them a call. They said...

In an attempt to find the optimum driving speeds between superchargers for the minimum total charge + drive time, I did some number crunching. Using the Supercharger Table found here Tesla Model S - Supercharger Table for charge times and EVTripPlanner for rated miles used and drive times at...

I was curious how much power would be drawn from "shore" if I wasn't charging, but preheating the battery and interior. I didn't need much range today (and forgot to plug in yesterday). I started pre-heating, went out to the car, set the charge at 60%, made sure range mode was off, and plugged...

After charging to 90% last night, and today driving about 160 miles, I made a stop about 8 miles from home with rated range indicating 77 miles. I sat in the car listening to the radio maybe 15 minutes, range indicated 76 miles. I finished my last errand after about an hour and started driving...

Auburn has apparently been permitted. At the Auburn mall. It's on supercharge.info.

Sometimes when I unlock the car with the fob, the parking lights blink then stay off. Other times they blink and stay on. Most perplexing was in the middle of last week at work when I went out to my car during a bright day to retrieve something, unlocked and they stayed on after unlocking. 5...
