Interested in buying 19" Tesla Aero style wheels. I have 19" Tesla stock wheels and would also consider trading them for the Aero's + cash on my part. P.M me if interested.

I've lived with my S now for nearly 2 months and have logged 4k+ miles on it so far. One design feature I am really beginning to appreciate is the open area between the seats; I am finding I really don't need a lot of storage space. However, as others have observed in various threads, the...

Much like the Pacific Blue color, the Sequoia Green also takes to light like a chameleon. Here are some side profiles shots of the Sequoia Green. I grabbed these off of various posts and naturally want to give credit and acknowledge their work. Please feel free to post other shots of the...

I've read a few posts about how much the Pacific Blue color seems to change under different lighting conditions; dare I say almost chameleon like. Here are some pictures I have gathered from fellow posters showing the range of color. Hopefully these will help those on the proverbial fence...

I have been looking at the material samples Tesla has on display on their web site features page Model S Features | Tesla Motors The wood, leather and metal are easily identifiable both to their composition and where they belong on the car, however the one textile sample I cannot identify to...

At the Fremont event I sat in the rear and noticed when I exited the car my foot hit the rear door panel. I took a look at all the panels and noticed they all are 2-3 inches thicker than the door panels in the cars I drive. My takeaway from the event was the beta interior was not complete; I...

Video of Elon Musk showing some of Tesla management the inner workings of 17" touch screen. They (without Elon I believe) take the Model S on the outside track in the RAIN and hit speeds of over 80 mph. Well worth seeing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrdeZlfvSJY

Tesla's 2012 Model S Charging Equipment. Redesign For Redesign's Sake? The author of article and posters not sure Tesla's redesign is correct.

After seeing the Beta, I am so happy Tesla managed to conceal that ubiquitous little antenna used for internet/radio reception. Thou they vary in shape from small buttons to ham radio length, they all IMHO detract from the appearance of the car. Examples: Anyone have an idea there the...

I apology in advance if a thread has already been started regarding parts suppliers for Model S. I searched, but came up empty. Saw this article regarding a stamping manufacturer supplying parts thru 2016. Res Manufacturing lands contract for electric car parts - The Business Journal...

Tesla has publicly stated the Model S would be similar in size to the MBZ E class or the BMW 5 series. At the time the comments were made, the Audi A7 had not arrived on the scene and no comparison was possible. Like the Model S, the A7 is a 4 door hatchback design. However, seats 4 rather...

Given the additional cost of $10k & $20k of the 230/300 mile versions of the Model S over the base model I imagine a lot of leases might be in the mix to make the vehicle more "affordable". When these leases are returned, will the battery be brought up to new specs or will the 300/230 mile...
