    Best Way to View SentryCam Videos?

    Google teslacam video. Someone created a website (no downloads required) that enables viewing the three angles at once. Nice site.

    LR AWD Waiting Room

    My delievery appointment got moved up from 6/11 to this Friday, 6/7! Black LR AWD with white interior and 18" aero wheels! Going to be sad seeing my classic (non AP) Model S go but the Model 3 feels so much better to me.

    Waiting for white interior

    Beauty Rawlings2019! I called my salesperson earlier today to ask him something and inquired about the status of my order. I placed the order this past Saturday so wasn't expecting anything positive (LR AWD, Black with White interior). He said that, according to his internal system, my car...

    I got excited because I saw the MVPA but it contained 0 kbs and disappeared shortly after I saw it.

    Wiki Model 3 Order Tracking Spreadsheet

    Just added my order to the spreadsheet. Ordered on the 18th - LR AWD, Black with White Interior, 18" aero wheels. Coming from an S85. Taking a nice trip on June 18th. Fingers crossed. If not, I will have to take the non-Autopilot S (missed getting AP1 hardware by one week, first world...

    [Resolved] My P85 has developed the milling noise and Tesla won't fix it.

    I just got my car back from its annual service visit (1st visit, a tad over 20k miles). A couple weeks ago I started hearing the drone noise, it would occur at low speeds and only when power was applied. It would go away after 35 mph (or at least I wouldn't hear it above that speed). The...

    Is it okay to only fast charge?

    What is covered by the warranty exactly? Is a 20% degradation covered? I don't think so.

    Charging question

    Yes, it is not healthy to charge the battery to 100% very often. If you are going on a long trip and need the miles, then by all means. Just don't let it sit at 100% for a long time before you use the car. Otherwise, charge it to 80%, that seems to be the consensus.

    Leave plug connected overnight?

    Just to clarify, the car won't start charging once you plug it in if you have it set to start at a particular time.

    500 mile range Tesla - why not?

    Sure, if you are doing one long trip (not a lot of stops, do something else for an hour or two and the go again....that requires constantly heating up the battery). I did several long trip this winter and I would be hard pressed to get below 195 miles on a charge - that was at 20 - 25 degrees...

    Mid life crisis??

    Just to clarify, there are two different "internet radio" options in the Tesla if you don't get XM. There is Tunein which basically broadcasts all HD ratio stations in the world (or close enough) and then there is Slacker Radio. Slacker is like Pandora with the added benefit of being able to...

    12v Battery Low - Car Needs Start - Pull over immediately

    Traction in snow on summer performance tires

    My S85 with winter tires drove without any issue yesterday in CT. My street was not really plowed but there was only an inch or so of snow on my block. My house is located on a decently hilly part of the street and I had no issues slowing down and turning into my driveway. Did not slip once...

    Noob Questions - can i hang up a phone call from steering wheel?

    You most certainly CAN hang up on a call using the steering wheel commands. I believe you hit the button above the scroll wheel on the right side of the steering wheel twice to hang up. The first time you hit the button, the phone commands come up, with "end call" being the first option. Hit...

    Tesla moments

    So yesterday I took my wife's car to run an errand since it was raining outside and I had just washed the Model S the day before. While sitting at a red light, a red Model S goes through the intersection and looks my way. I wondered what he was looking at and lo and behold, behind me is a...

    Will US Superchargers DOUBLE in 2014 over 2013 ?

    No, supercharge.info shows 133 in the U.S. Tesla shows 135 in North America with two of those being in Canada so the numbers are in synch.

    Was there a couple weeks ago. All four stalls were occupied by other Teslas. Wife was not happy but luckily we only had to wait a coue of minutes for a spot to open up.

    Supercharger is NOT your personal parking spot

    Just because the sign is vague, how can anyone leave their car in a Supercharger spot for hours? Everyone should know better, it is just common sense. If there is charging capacity in a parking spot, use it until you have adequate power and then move on. Signage is a bit more complicated...

    Do you have the traffic re routing set to 5 min? If so, increase it to 10 min to see if that helps. I haven't had the issue you describe.

    Has anyone found CNBC on TuneIn?

    You are right, I should not have made that statement. CNBC just irks me since I can't believe that Cramer is still allowed to air his ridiculous opinions. Anyway, go to Tunein and then Talk, then Business and then scroll down to More Stations. Click More stations and I believe a couple CNBC...

    CNBC...UGH, you couldn't pay me to listen to that propoganda. Just listen to Bloomberg instead, that is definately on Tunein.

    Does the MS come with a center console and rear liftgate cover?

    There is a small shelf under the center screen that can be used to store small items (sunglasses, mints, etc.) while keeping them away from prying eyes.

    Does the MS come with a center console and rear liftgate cover?

    On the console issue, I suggest driving it for a month or so before deciding what to do. I thought I would really want a console, but so far I enjoy the space. Bags from a small supermarket errand fit really nicely in there, wife loves putting her purse there, easy to get to the USB/12V...

    You can also lock it with the FOB - one click to lock, two to unlock. Dont know if you can adjust timing on the auto unlock.

    New Jersey Auto Insurance Rate Comparison

    My brand new Tesla is roughly the same as my Jeep Wrangler Unlimited (4 door) despite it costing almost 3x as much. I asked the agent about this and she said it was due to better occupant safety.

    Delivery Delay - 2014 Model S

    Keep your fingers crossed. Mine has been on a truck for roughly 1.5 weeks (Milford, CT delivery). Heck, it was probably less than 150 miles away from me Monday morning but it isn't at the Service Center yet. Good luck!

    Delivery Delay - 2014 Model S

    No, right now scheduled date is up in the air. I am thinking Mon or Tuesday, don't really know. I do know that it seems like I have to be the one initiating contact with the DS though. Maybe I should call there again tomorrow to get an update.

    MS ownership in 6-7 years time

    Squeaky brakes don't seem like a maintenance item to me. You must of found one of the few ICE dealers that go above and beyond. Congrats. Anyway, I hope the Tesla lives up to your expecations (somehow I doubt it but I hope I am wrong). Mine is coming next week and I am rather excited.

    MS ownership in 6-7 years time

    Three brake jobs in four years? You either drive a ton or since the weight of the 7 is so high the brakes must really be stressed. With regen braking, you won't have to worry about that with the S. I bet you will need zero brake jobs in four years!

    Delivery Delay - 2014 Model S

    Shelbri, I was supposed to pick mine up in Milford tomorrow but when I called my DS yesterday, he said it was on a truck in NV. I can't believe they would have multiple trucks coming into CT just days apart. I guess they could of dropped off cars along the way in and around the Northeast. Oh...

    MS ownership in 6-7 years time

    Wow....BMW fooled you. Do you really think that the BMW comes with 4 years of "free" maintenance? Don't you think that is in the price of the car? I guess marketing does work! Oh, and what is included in that maintenance? Couple of oil changes, checking liquid levels and maybe tire rotations?

    Organize your UMC!

    That's funny because when I picked up my UMC organizer I asked about the hanging electronics module, and my SC said it was okay to let it hang. I am still going yo go to HD to get some bracket for it though. Still waiting for 9/19 delivery so I have some time.

    Had my First Test Drive Today.. Hmmmmmm...

    I don't know about that. I own a 997 911 now and have owned other sports cars (Lotus Elise) and I can tell you that I made up my mind to order the Model S as soon as I took a test drive. The S85 is plenty fast. Am I going to miss downshifting and hearing the engine? Maybe, but I love that...
