I did a thing... I sprayed my car in Autoflex removable coatings and ZTS Hypershift. Looks and feels like paint. There were 4 other TMC members that had the chance to see and feel the car this evening. It is a very hard shift. 9 different colors. Green, teal, blue, purple, pink, orange, yellow...

I bought some Fierce Pink Plasti dip from Dipyourcar.com. They do a 20% off sale every year on all pink dip for breast cancer awareness. They show great support for the cause. So I got a gallon. I should get it Monday or Tuesday. I can't wait to get started. My plan is to start with the wheels...

Total cost about $50.

It catches the first latch but not the second. Why? It feels like it nicks it but won't completely close. I've checked, there is nothing in the way. Is it safe to drive? mods please delete thread. Problem solved. Anxiety drove me to post.

My car will be peeled as soon as the drive electric event in Oldsmar finishes. I will be leaving with a red car. If anyone wants to peel a panel they are more than welcome to it. Btrflyl8e already has dibs on the hood. Anyone attending that wants to peel a panel feel free to list it below...

I saw this an thought of the Model S and pedestrians. I can't stop watching it. http://content.lolspots.com/JLtmD2kQy.mp4

My goal is to have short LED strips in multiple spots along floor, under the seat and other various places. I haven't decided on how many spots yet or how long the strips will be. Will have to do some nighttime testing with short strips and a 9 v battery to test for the perfect brightness and...

Has anybody ever removed the dash. I have a project coming up soon and wanted some advise. I know how to remove all the interior trim (leather and plastic). I just don't know how to remove the dash. I can get to this state, just need help past this. Btw, this is not my car.

I'm looking into the future. Soon I'll be dipping my car again and I'm trying to figure out which color to choose. I've narrowed it down to these 15 choices. I will be going for a high gloss finish so imagine the satin speed shapes in high gloss. If you look closely at my choices you'll see...

This is at USFSP's parking garage in downtown St. Petersburg Florida. The baterry system is massive. About 7 feet tall. I've been at this location a few times and never knew it was a Tesla Powerpack until they put the posters up the within the past day or two. The Powerpack may have been there...

This Wednesday from 1:30-3:30 PM Duke Energy and USFSP will be hosting a launch event for the newly installed 100 kW solar system on the roof of their parking garage. Some Teslas better show for support since the system has a Tesla Powerpack at its heart! I'm disappointed they decided to put a...

After months of research, planning and color testing I finally decided to paint my Model S metallic burnt copper. I kept this to myself and never told my local Tesla buddies. Their reactions were priceless when I arrived last (intentionally) to Quaker Steak and Lube's Thursday night car show...

Start watching at the 56:00 mark. CAUTION: ADULT LANGUAGE. And very funny. Chris Rock Stand-Up Comedy One Hour - Best Comedian Ever - YouTube

I can't believe that this hasn't been thought of before now. While working on a plan to diffuse the individual Neopixels on the rear lighted appliqué, Artsci and Danal came up with a solution. They used small clear velcro to create a gap between the Neopixels and the diffuser film thus solving...

Why do so many people put an S in front of 60, 70D, 85 and 85D? Isn't it kind of pointless? Why say S70D? There is no P70D. So isn't 70D distinguishable enough? 60 isn't distinguishable enough, 85 etc...? I kind of understand for newbies to the Tesla world but for folks who've been around awhile...

This VW went to park on Beach Drive. They then realized it was an EV charging station. They backed out and found another spot. Some people are considerate. There is still hope for humanity.:smile:

I love threads like What's in your frunk? and Tesla Moments where Model S owners show unique uses and experiences with their Model S. So to kind of spin off of that. I was wondering what has been the strangest thing either land on your camera lens or get caught on camera on the 17" touchscreen...

I'm about to register for the Festival of Speed at Vinoy Park. It's Sunday March 8th this year from 10am to 4pm. I want to gauge interest in this event. I don't know if it's possible for Tesla to attend or not. I'm ready to represent the best automobile on the planet. Weather should be good...

Anyone know and like to share how to remove the front seatbacks. They look identical, so I'm really looking to remove the passenger side. I want to make a mould of the seatbacks for a little project. Ok not little project, big project. Artsci, SUPRKAR?

I saw that supercharge.info has London Kentucky as "under construction." I spoke to a few of my family members that live about an hour from there to see if they can stop by and check it out. I said take plenty of pictures. Hopefully I'll hear from one of them soon.

I added a brake strobe to my rear brake strip. I simply connected the strobe into the wires leading to the strip and tucked the controller box into the plastic trim piece below the strip. Now, every time my brake strip comes on it will strobe 4 times, solid one second, strobe 4 times then solid...

Every Thursday from 4-8 Quacker Steak has a car show. I wanted to see who all would like to join the gang. There's already a few that have said they'll go. It's time for us steal the show!

Anybody else think Tesla should have our kW output shown in numbers like the speed instead of an orange meter. I would even love an updated orange output meter that had smaller increments of 5 up to about 40 kW. Let's face it, no one pays as much attention to output once it reaches 40 or so. I...

I can't believe this happened. It looks like Mr. Miyagi took a whack at my cup. The arm rest accidentally got shoved forward slicing the cup in half and sending it into the CC. Luckily the cup wasn't but half full or I'd have had a huge mess. Let's just say no more styrofoam cups allowed in my...

I plan on doing some carbon fiber mods on my Model S very soon. With all the time I had waiting on my car, what else better to do than to figure out which mods to do first. I found a great tutorial on the corvette forums of all places on how to "skin" the carbon fiber onto OEM parts. This...

I've been very busy driving. I picked it up yesterday at 4. The easiest/best car buying experience ever. After a few signatures I was ready to roll, and rolling I did. I'm already in triple digits. I was speechless for awhile (mostly because of the Tesla grin). Btw, anyone know a good plastic...

First off I want to apologize for not becoming a TMC member and sharing my story as soon as I ordered. I have enjoyed reading other's stories. I hope you enjoy mine. Here we go. I finally ordered my Model S on 3/30. I didn't confirm until 4/10. Over that span, I logged onto MyTesla daily. I...
