Tell people they can see a Tesla anywhere so there is no need to spoil the night sky. Problem solved.

A car is considered a total loss when Market Value - Salvage Value > Repair Cost. From what I see in those photos, you're in for some repairs due to the high market value of the car and limited damage. My last car was cursed and hit four times in less than one year. The last accident cost...

What a hotard.

I was having the same problem with my Pebble watch. If I shut down the watch while driving, my iPhone 6 does not drop the connection.

Last week, I saw a Model S parked in a charging station in the front row of short term parking at the San Diego airport that wasn't plugged in at all. That really bothered me. Yes, the signs said the space was for electric vehicles, but no charging is bad form.

You're going to put tens of thousands of miles on your car. If there were 51 on the odometer, would it really mean that much to you?

I'm having trouble trying to grasp why you are asking the internet and not, you know, Tesla.

I use a Declan brand microfiber cloth. They have many patterns and can double as pocket squares as well. http://getdeclan.com

Anyone who can afford a Tesla shouldn't have to sleep in their car.

If she makes you put the toilet seat down when you're done, then you can make her put the Model S seat down when she's done.

I get this on hot days when the charge port side is in direct sun. As soon as it cools down, it shows as closed.

My last car was a Cadillac with a 40 GB hard drive that I could rip CDs to. I never understood why I would want to sit in my car ripping CDs of music that was already on my iPhone. In the three years I had the car, I only changed the CD in the drive four times since I barely used it.

Same experience with me on the onramps. I used to wait up to 5 minutes at Washington Street, now I breeze on the freeway. I take the Encinitas onramp at night to head south, but the HOV lane only saves me some seconds since it's usually not backed up at 5:00. I use the HOV lane on the...

Adult-sized road bikes fit no problem with both wheels on and the seats folded down.

No need to take the wheels off. This is my track bike. Road bike also fits in no problem with both wheels on with my 58 cm frames.

Same here--I toss my bike in with the seats folded down all the time without taking off the wheels. I'd just throw a blanket on top of one frame if I were carrying two bikes.

I saw the article blowing up on Facebook yesterday and didn't even bother reading it, knowing there's no way the headline was true. I was glad to see the Jalopnik article ZBB linked this morning swiftly debunking it. All the points Matt Hardigree makes were exactly what were going through my...

I already sent an e-mail of support to my assemblymember, who was also just sworn in as speaker. I didn't use the boilerplate letter because it is important to show that it's not just a lazy internet campaign.

Yeah, I live in CA and it was very easy to get my condo HOA to approve a charge station in our common area garage. The board members knew they couldn't deny me, but I was respectful and laid it all out in a way they could say yes. I paid for the installation and reimburse the HOA via a company...

Do you really need to plug in when you are just making a trip to the mall? My mall is 4 miles away, not 261. I admit to taking advantage of premium parking spaces around town with Blink chargers, but I do activate my charge, so I consider it getting a good parking space plus some electricity...

Bring your camera--this might be the only time you ever see a Tesla owner at a Hometown Buffet.

Yes, it is a feature, not a bug. All of my cars with heated seats allowed you to turn on the heat without somebody sitting in them. I had one car that would always reset if the car was turned off, and I didn't like that. Pre-heating the passenger seat always scored points for me when I'd go...

Setting up a lease financing subsidiary and issuing a press release about it just so it can deny credit to this guy sure seems like a strange practical joke to play. Tesla must really have it out for him.

Completely different method of playback, but my Model S has happily played French music via bluetooth from my iphone.

The Carlsbad Outlets are only 35 miles from the San Juan Capistrano supercharger and the Highlands are only 13 miles from there, so it's pretty much a no-brainer that the SD supercharger will be nowhere near either of them. Meanwhile, it's 170 miles from Yuma, AZ to Mission Valley. It's also...

I filed using TurboTax on 2/17. I do not pay AMT and got my full refund on 2/26 including the $7,500 tax credit.

My electrician asked me if I realized I have both the safest car ever built and the most notoriously unsafe car ever sold and I replied that I prefer to think of it as I own two cars with trunks in the front.

Looks like I might have steered you in the wrong direction. I thought that the CA Civil Code section applied to apartment buildings, but it looks like that section only applies to condos and I couldn't find another section or legislative intent that applied to apartment buildings. Hopefully...

Depending on what sort of pain in the butt tenant you want to be, you might want to refer your building manager to California Civil Code Section 4745 (http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=CIV&sectionNum=4745). The Civil Code was amended to prohibit...

That makes more sense than along I-5 and it could also help out people coming from Arizona/El Centro who will be on their last few miles.

I got my stickers on Thursday and placed them on the car that night at the very bottom of the bumper cover on the exposed plastic rather than the paint. Drove the car to and from work in the rain on Friday and the right side sticker fell off on the way home! I'll keep driving in the HOV lane...

Why would someone pay to put the name of their car just under where the manufacturer has placed the name of their car? If you saw someone driving down the road with a license plate that said "Kia," you'd laugh at them. It's not like people don't know what kind of car you're driving...and if...

As an avid cyclist, the third-most frequently asked question I get from friends and family is, "Can it fit your bike?" Yes, much easier than the SUV my Model S replaced, and with both wheels on. Seeing the small pic on the Model S webpage of a bike in the back is what got me to take my test...

Well done. This is among the best Downfall videos I've seen.

I saw a guy driving a Model S with the side HOV stickers mounted on his quarter panel above the wheels last week. I nearly passed out in horror.
