    19" spare tire

    I keep a plug kit and small compressor in the car at all times. I can easily plug a flat and be on my way. I figure if the sidewall is damaged in the process something major has happened and roadside service will be needed anyway. Tesla sells a road side repair kit for $50 which is a more...

    White leather Question

    It would be nice to see a vegan interior in tan I would have chosen that over the leather. I hope future versions come in different colors.

    Anyone else annoyed by the software controlling seat movement and positioning?

    And you never will. Tesla never announces what is updated in these minor releases and if you read the release notes they will be the same as the last major release. It is up to industrious owners to notice changes and speculate on what is fixed, adjusted or changed. I wish at least they would...

    Anyone else annoyed by the software controlling seat movement and positioning?

    It can be random. I received 2.17.37 on the 23rd. From my experience with the S it can take a few days to a week to roll out software. Stay connected to WiFi and eventually it will come. I can confirm that the front seats move back to the previous position however the middle row seats do not...

    Anyone else annoyed by the software controlling seat movement and positioning?

    I noticed after upgrading to release 2.17.37 the front and middle seat returned to the previous position. Now this could just be a one off fluke since my musical seat positions was random before the release. Further investigation is warranted and I will try to take a look later today to verify...

    Power off while inside

    Yes but you are talking about a minuscule amount of energy. Energy from these systems while parked run on the 12 volt battery and not your main traction battery. Granted the 12 volt battery is recharged when needed but the bottom line is that you are not severely running down the battery pack...

    Model X April Deliveries

    I doubt you will get it at delivery. Our friendly Seattle Deliver Specialist last Friday mentioned that it would be mailed directly to our house when it is available.

    We need a gesture when passing other Model Xs

    In the Seattle area there is about a 75% rate of return when I am driving my Model S usually just a flash of the lights or a hand wave above the steering wheel. However driving the Model X I noticed S drivers don't wave. Perhaps they don't recognize it as a Model X or not sure but I was waving...

    Model X April Deliveries

    Nope the My Tesla page has never updated since VIN assignment. From what others are saying Tesla has given up on updating the page until the car is actually delivered since I pick up tomorrow I would have to agree.

    Waiting for CarPlay

    Considering the feud between Apple and Tesla regarding employees and various comments by Elon I doubt there is much interest on Tesla's part to add CarPlay. The issue is certainly more political than technical.

    Just one word - Insurance

    Insurance is also based partly on the value of the car. Model S P90D is a little more expensive than the projected model 3 price so insurance quotes should reflect that difference.

    4000 mile 10 day road trip from Port Townsend to Phoenix and back

    We took that trip last summer in the model S. Nice drive with plenty to see. If I recall the Springfield to Grants Pass includes a bit of elevation and I kept getting the warning about haveing less than 10% energy at your destination. If it is your first Supercharger trip stay plugged in a...

    xpel wrapping vs. periodic maintenance / detailing

    I had mine fully wrapped with Xpel Ultimate. Yes it was a stretch and I still get a little twitch thinking about that bill. However there has already been 4 instances in the last 3 months where it protect the car. The scratches healed up and can no longer been seen. Bugs and dirt easily wash...

    Paint protection: ClearGuardX vs. XPEL?

    I have seen XPEL in person (on my blue Tesla). Looks great, performs great, however as many others will say whatever you choose the installer is what makes the difference.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Delivered! It is the small things that are really nice. Like how they don't just use tape to hold up the temporary registration but have a special Tesla sticker. And then how they print the logo into the carpet:

    How to get the best rate with Tesla financing?

    Yes Alliant requires membership but if you speak to a loan officer you can make a $10 donation to the charity Foster Care to Success. This can be bundled into your Tesla loan so not really an additional step. Contact Alliant or fill out their web form and they can guide you through the...

    Model S Order & Delivery Tracker - Q1 2014

    When the VIN is assigned you will receive an email with the subject "Your Model S Has Been Assigned a VIN". Then on your dashboard the RN will be replaced with the VIN. Unfortunately we have all learned that it is impossible not to check the dashboard 20 times a day but not much changes...

    Positive Tesla coverage on CBC National News (Canada)

    As a soon to be former Leaf owner I agree; and winter range is one of the reasons/justifications for upgrading to a Tesla. I assume once I have a pack that is 3.5x larger I would never have range anxiety again except on a longer road trips where I am pushing the range on purpose. But never...

    All Weather Mats only $200 full set at the Tesla Store

    Historically I have keep them in and plan to do so with the Model S. Even in the arid Seattle summer weather dirt and kid stuff always gets in the car and the all weather mats are easier to clean and maintain.

    Tesla Event in Beijing China

    I don't think she was referring to Service in the sense of what the service centers do but rather general customer service of promising deliveries but having delays. Although she could have still been a plant!

    LED light pipes availability

    Have you ever seen the inside of a Minivan packed full of Kids? You need a industrial size shop vac to clean up some of their messes. The reason the Model S does not need this earth changing feature is that; at least in my case, kids and food will not pass the sacred entrance. If kids and...
