It's one thing about the Center Console, but seriously, no touch up paint is available yet for the new grey? I've been on that pre-order list for months. Anyone else?

The live timer countdown is slowing down my browser experience vastly. Can you please turn it off or make it optional or something?

Since getting the Tesla in Feb, I've hardly driven our other vehicle, a hybrid SUV. Except when I had to run to Home Depot for a piece of lumber too large for the Tesla's trunk the other day. Cut to a few hours later, and my wife saying, "I keep hearing this weird low rumble." Hmm. No idea...

The one in the driver's screen is faster, it updates routes quickly if you deviate from the route. Sometimes the large screen will take another 15+ seconds to show the same updated route. That's odd enough, but today the driver's screen showed the destination as a left turn, and the large...

It's inconvenient to have to leave the key in the car all the time when it's parked at home. But that's what I try and do - take the key out of my pocket every day and leave it in the cupholder. That way, I can open the doors and retrieve items, plug/unplug the car, and get into the trunk. It...

Twice in the last week I've gotten an on-screen alert on the speedometer screen that says something like "You need a software update, see Tesla service!" It goes away instantly and doesn't come back. Happened 3 days ago and just happened again. Weird. I'd be concerned but it immediately goes...

The range was 100 feet before I put on the front license plate. Now it's five feet. I have to be RIGHT in front of my garage door before it'll open. Bummer. I doubt there is or ever will be a fix for this one.

This is for owners (or reservation holders) only please. The last poll was over a year ago, and Tesla has made a lot of new customers since then. Relating to threads like this, we're attempting to get a big sample size of what operating system folks who buy Teslas use. Three options, choose...

Just got one of these bad boys: Amazon.com: SCOSCHE USBC242M 12 Watt USB Car Charger for iPhone/iPad/iPod Lightning/Micro - Retail Packaging - Black: Cell Phones Accessories Can I leave it plugged in the car 24/7? Or is it going to do harm to my 12v battery?

Ususally I walk up to the car, the handles present, I sit down, press the brake and can immediately put it in Reverse or Drive and be on my way. I've noticed sometimes when I sit down,the driver's screen is black - and takes a good 10 seconds to start up, and another three-five seconds before I...

Driving west last night I was blinded the whole time. I don't want to dip this part but this is not my favorite Model S feature so far :)

I've got a rattle noise that sounds like it's under the trunk, or part of the rear axle or something. Sometimes it sounds like pings of rain or hail hitting the rear glass. Sometimes it sounds like gravel pinging up and hitting the axle or battery or something right there. Thing is - it will...

I was planning a little trip for spring break and wanting to head south to stay warm. Well, out of luck completely! No superchargers on I-25 south of Denver. So, no way to get to to Santa Fe / Albuquerque. Bummer! Even if they get the Santa Rosa, NM station up in time, that's over 300 miles...

As I handed the keys to him for my Nissan Leaf at the end of my lease, the salesman said, "I'd never buy an electric car." That right there is why Nissan will never overcome the problem Tesla won't ever encounter - a sales force that doesn't understand, doesn't advocate, and can't educate...

Group Buy - Tesla 3D Wall Display 18" x 15" I've been working with an amazing artist to create a Tesla 3D logo wall display. They are made from precision cut and layered acrylics and look unbelievably great. I've bought these for other car brands I've been into, and figured now I need a...

Group Buy - Tesla 3D Wall Display 15" x 12.5" I've been working with an amazing artist to create a Tesla 3D logo wall display. They are made from precision cut and layered acrylics and look unbelievably great. I've bought these for other car brands I've been into, and figured now I need a...

I've done my fair share of complaining about the lack of interior storage, but having lived with this little number for a short while I realized that we still have room for my wife's purse, or a bag of chinese food, etc., on top of the storage. So I'm curious - what's the height of the Tesla...

My 85D does not have dual chargers, FYI. I've got a Schneider 30 amp EVSE (EV charging station) in my garage from my Nissan Leaf days. The wiring run to it is 8-2 NM wire on a 40-amp breaker. If I connected the Tesla Wall Connector would the Tesla get more than the 30 amps it's currently...

Only 250 miles on the clock so far, so it's early days. My grin is ear to ear, but of course there are some issues. My niggles: 1) Squeaking brakes. Pretty noisy. Sounds like they're 40k miles old and need replacing. I'm hoping it's a film or finish or something that will wear away. I've...

I'm trying to figure out how to set my favorite Slacker stations - can someone help me out? Thanks.

I'm using one to charge from my Nissan Leaf charger and would like another - anyone have one they can sell? Send me a PM. Thanks.

As I finally bring my Model S home for good, and move the Leaf out of the charging spot in the garage, I am made well aware that there's nothing like driving a Tesla to make your Nissan Leaf (SL fully loaded with every option) feel like a piece of crap. I'll be glad to see it go back to Nissan...

I really like the Private setting available on the official Tesla forum. Reason being, some things I want to complain about but don't want to publicly bash TSLA, hurt the brand or the company, etc., but want feedback on. Has TMC considered creating private subforums for confirmed owners only...

It's basically an evolution of the Corbin Sparrow and will eschew motorcycle license requirements by way of its 0-cc engine rating (all municipalities specify that 49cc or less require no motorcycle certification). It will also not require a standard vehicle registration due to it's 3-wheeled...

My 85D is a week old and has lived exclusively in snow so far. So I've been dealing with a constantly dirty windshield and constant use of the washer fluid. My problem is - the top half of the windshield, at least on the driver's side, isn't getting clean. The spray isn't going higher than...

I had my car done last week and unfortunately I think I've got some issues. I've got three images to show those of you who have clear film - tell me if this is normal. The most glaring thing I can see so far is there the front of the a-pilla meets the fender and the hood. Both sides are cut...

After getting well and truly dumped on for a few days by the snow gods, it's nice enough to get on the road with the new Tesla today! The great news is how well the D drives in the snow. If you floor it you're all over the road like any vehicle, but use your brain and this thing finds traction...

My wife grew up in one of those terrible homes. You know the ones. Where people say "It's needs cleaned." Or "The car needs washed." Or "The Tesla needs serviced." It's like child abuse only it affects more people since they spread it publicly. You have two choices. Either is just fine by...

We're starting to plan some roadtrips for this summer, and I was wondering if anyone thought a trip the middle of March (daughter's preschool spring break) might be doable? We're in Denver so we were thinking we'd have to pretty much head south. Maybe Grand Canyon. Any ideas?

I've got a grey car, it's showing as blue in the app. Kind of making my ocd go crazy :-)

So - is a non-guest of the hotel permitted to charge for 30 min at a Supercharger? I see that they've added hotel superchargers as smaller dots on the official map. Has anyone tried using them without being a guest?

I don't exactly understand the temp tag system - let's say my car got temp tags on 3/1 that expire 5/1. Does it matter when I go to the DMV and get real plates? Do I end up paying more in the long run if I get plates before 5/1?

Is something under the armrests that prevented the engineers from providing us with even a small storage area under the armrests as .. every other vehicle in the world does?

Saw this on Tesla's homepage today - I'm assuming it's either "Silver Metallic" or "Grey Metallic" but it almost seems to have a Champagney beige hue in there. On the configurator the colors look weird - the silver is almost white and the grey is almost black.

I'm definitely getting the front windshield cover, but interested in hearing if anyone else has tried the side window covers? I read about them in this review: Tesla Model S Custom Sunshade Review - TESLARATI.com Anyone have them? Thoughts? Reviews?

I'm thinking about ordering a silicone key fob cover to match the color of my car. Those of you who own this, do you like it? Would you recommend it? EDIT: Thanks guys - ordered!

With all of the people upset with the sudden release of AutoPilot and the new AWD D model, neither of which can be retrofit to existing vehicles, I'm wondering if my memory is tricking me. Was it ever said, officially or by Musk personally, that upgrades would be available to existing customers...

I've got little kids, and a car arriving shortly with the Textile interior. I'm definitely putting Car Seat Protectors under their car seats, but I'm still concerned about them smushing food or other crap into the weave of the fabric. Would a Scotchgard spray be a good idea for this fabric...

How cool would that be? I'd love to see my dream car being assembled at the factory. Like those roller coaster snapshots they sell you when you get off the ride ...

​Edit - I'm going with full hood. Thanks for the input! I'm definitely getting Xpel Ultimate put on my car the day I get it. The big decision is to choose between the full hood and fenders ($1700) or 24" of film on them ($800). Has anyone done the less-expensive route? (Note that either...

Denver Window Tint, Inc. (303) 751-9310 2201 S Parker Rd, Denver, CO 80231-3482 http://www.denverwindowtint.com Their website is down right now but from the looks of the BBB and Yelp they're on the up and up. Anyone with personal experience? They're so close to the Denver service center, I'm...

It's been nearly a week since I added an option to my 85D order, just wondering how long it usually takes for stuff to show up on the website?

Three months until my 85D delivery.. starting to plan ahead. Usual stuff, the charging station, thinking about solar panels, wondering how many brownies we have to sell to cover the downpayment.. Anyone else scouring the attic for junk to sell to make room in the piggy bank for the new car...

I've always been into the cars that a little out of the ordinary. I had an Isuzu VehiCROSS, I'm leasing a Nissan Leaf, and own a 1991 Lotus Elan. I always wanted a Qvale Mangusta but as I got older the look of it stopped appealing to me as much. What have you owned that's weird or unique...

Autonomous Driving - HAL Is My Co-Pilot - Road & Track

Having lived in Colorado for 25 years I've done my share of snow removal from cars - but I've scratched cars before too. I've even scratched windshields. Any devices you guys keep in your Teslas or other nice cars to remove snow without damaging the car?

Just running some numbers on what I expect to spend on this car over 10 years that I'm planning on keeping it. $90,720 Purchase price $03,628 4% sales tax -$7,500 Federal Tax Credit -$6,000 Colorado Tax Credit $03,800 8 years of Tesla Service $04,000 4 year ESA Extended warranty $...

We know about the new features they can't and won't retrofit (auto pilot, AWD, power charging port door, etc) but I'm curious what hardware upgrades have they provided for free for cars on the service plan / under warranty in the last two years? I know about the titanium plate that got all the...

Edit: YES - ESA does not require Tesla Service EDIT: SEE THIS POST Tesla is revising the ESA contract in our favor. Tesla Rocks!

Lamenting the loss of brown, the Tesla agent told me that the dark grey I was switching too was a pretty new color. So I'm curious, what colors have been available and when over the life of the Model S? I'm wondering if more colors could be just around the corner. Thanks.
