(zdre's wife) I am a UX Design student doing a class research project on the Tesla user interface. This research will be used to prototype any potential improvements to the UI functionality and/or layout. I would like to ask the amazing Tesla community to provide some feedback on the current UI...

Preferably with tires, but may consider without. Prefer local pick up in or near greater Saint Louis area.

Does anyone know the purpose of the blue connector behind the rear air vents? It is taped to the harness that also connects the rear USB ports. The air vent assembly pops off easily by the way, at least on my car.

Original 60kWh buyers were given an option to purchase unlimited supercharging for $2,000, while 40kWh were not given the option at all. All of the cars that did not purchase supercharging actually have the necessary hardware. Now that pay-per-use is implemented, it would be a great gift for the...

Does anyone have pictures of the new metal(?) door sills?

Instead of setting an absolute temperature, it would be much better if you could set a range. For example, I do not want heat/ac to turn on when the temperature is between 65 and 75F, I would want vent to be active in this range. Another nice enhancement would be to be able to turn off heat...

I have not seen any evidence of the this functionality in my non-supercharging car. I tried navigating to a far location with a charger that I have used before mid way and it just said that charging is required. Has anyone seen it work? I also ran it down pretty low and it did not ask me to...

I have had my wiper blades replaced in the first yearly service, and found that the new blades were leaving a wide streak in the middle of driver's side blade. I asked the service center, and they replaced blades with another set, but the problem remained. It seems that the new long blade...

Does anyone know what is the most efficient charging power for a single charger? From my experience with computer power supplies, the highest efficiency is achieved at around 50% load. The issue is that we don't know how much the Model S charger's max load of 10kW is already de-rated from the...

It turns out that without the tech package, the fog light assembly is significantly different. There is no fog light, cornering light, or LED light pipe. Without tech package, the fins next to the fog light assembly and the rear air diffuser are black instead of chrome. It does not appear the...

After finalizing, I decided to figure out the actual registration fees for the Model S in Missouri because the number on my pre-MVPA didn't look right. If you have your car registered already, please comment on what you actually had to pay. Here are my initial findings: Fees due at...

I asked my product specialist about upgrading to a bigger battery capacity in the future (i.e. 8 years) and got this response: "Batteries will not be upgradable in the future.* As technology improves, their range may increase, but it will still be the same size battery pack.* You will be...

When I reserved a year ago, I was planning on getting the 40kWh Model S without any options. When options were announced, I had to have the Tech package. The the sticker price only went up from there. After the test drive, I had to have the air suspension and my wife insisted on getting the...
