    Simple Tesla "Bumper" (for trailer hitch)

    I have a hitch on our Model X. Worried about others pulling forward and "tapping" our car when parked (which already happened once, breaking a reflector), I first placed a piece of 2" x 2" x 8" wood into the hitch. IN ONE DAY, IT HAD A DENT! So, I designed a simple "bumper" of 2" x 2" steel...

    Tesla USB entertainment issue Needs a fix

    I suggest that the Tesla entertainment system should display USB recordings (songs) in the same order that they appear on the copied original music source (for example, a CD). That is by Track number, not alphabetically and not randomly. This is presently not the case. I have a USB memory stick...

    Tesla ruined the Grande Prix for me

    I used to love to attend the St. Pete Grande Prix (this weekend) and marvel at those super-complex Indy Car engines and watch their super acceleration. Now, an off-the-showroom floor, stock Tesla out accelerates virtually all Indy cars (and also Formula 1 cars). And the elegant simplicity of...

    Teslarati = National Inquirer?

    What a garbage article today: Father of girl in fatal Tesla crash says it would not have happened in another car. The driver had a blood alcohol level 2.5 times the limit, her father blames Tesla and Teslarati print it??

    Model X Range Improvement Due to Drafting & Suspension Setting

    Summary Results at 65 MPH: Drafting at any TACC setting (1-7) improved range 5%. (Difference between settings 1 & 7 was surprisingly and negligibly small.) Lowering suspension from LOW to VERY LOW improved range 4%. (These may not be additive.) For a fully-charged (250 mile) battery, drafting...

    Optimum Supercharger driving speed -- for Model X

    For the Model S, the post Optimum Supercharger driving speed gives excellent information about the optimum Model S vehicle speed to minimize total time between destinations, including driving time and charging time. Is anyone aware of this type of info for Model X?

    Tesla owners' AP reports should be useful: how to be effective?

    I suggest that reports from many owners on their experiences with cruise control and auto-steering would have a large, positive impact against the negative and naive views expressed in the press, by Consumer Reports, etc. I, for one, am totally convinced that engaging AP makes the combination...

    J.D Powers & RDA Surveys are Problematic for Tesla Owners

    The very first survey question in both surveys cannot be answered for Teslas, and leaving it blank stops the survey. Thus, a Tesla owner's views cannot be taken into account. I advised both surveys, but no response, yet. The question asks "is the transmission manual or automatic?" No telling...

    Group that covers Wisconsin?

    Prior to the new forum design, there was a group that covered Wisconsin. I posted a question regarding Appleton. I no longer find this group. What happened?

    Wrong Way Warnings

    Wrong way traffic crash deaths are common place here in the Tampa Bay area. Since Tesla accurately reads speed limit signs, it should be straight forward to read wrong way and related signs. When such a sign is sensed, the car could take several actions. It could sound and flash internal...

    Supercharger needed in Appleton-Greenbay area

    Are any of you campaigning for a Supercharger in this area? Best I can tell, there are no destination chargers, either. Please update me if I am wrong. I had sent two request emails to the CopperLeaf in Appleton and never even got a response. I am from Florida, but want to travel up there...
