Can any "expert" here look at the attached exhibits in the lawsuit including the EDR report and deep gash marks on the road to determine if it's Tesla or the actor at fault? Not His Wish: Star Of Disney’s ‘Aladdin’ Sues Tesla For Defective Model 3 In Hollywood Crash From my limited...

On my Model S, I can click the button on the mobile connector and it will pop open the charging door even when vehicle is locked. That doesn't work on my Model X: it has to be unlocked first. Is that by design, a defect in my car or is there a setting I'm missing?

Does anyone know when Tesla will release 7 seater all weather mats for late 2017 and later models? Or third party options that fit these cars? Apparently the design was changed around 9/17 but Tesla has not yet updated the mats.

Whenever I take a bluetooth call in my car, the other person always complains the sound quality is bad. Sounds fine on my end. I have iPhone X + Apple Watch Series 3 + iOS 11.latest. After a few trial and error, it seems switching Apple Watch to Airplane mode immediately improves the call...

March 2015 delivery. 17,700 Miles. Excellent Condition Please make your best offer!

Since buying my car, I have never once had my car detect, slow down or stop for a car stopped at a traffic light or traffic jam in my lane. Maybe it might have but I never waited that long. Just to be sure, I have tested it to the point where I had to brake so hard, things flew forward - so even...

Just thought of highlighting some similarities (and one dissimilarity) between Tesla's auto-steering implementation and basic cruise control: There are obviously more differences; like Auto-steering can disengage (with warning) when it can't function properly but that's not a negative as far...

Sorry if this is a noob question but I was wondering what is the long term impact of the battery life on my car's performance specs. Say if I lose 30% battery capacity after 6 years and 120,000 miles and my 85D becomes a 60D, does it also mean that my 0-60 in 4.2s becomes to 0-60 in 5s or more...

Don't need lugs, sensors, etc. just wheels with no damage or scratches.

How it happened: I had set and forgotten steering in Sport (usually keep it standard) which means small deviations meant more turn. Anyway, while pulling out of my neighborhood, I reached and stretched out right to pick up a loose item from the passenger seat and next second I hear a loud thud...

I got a scary electric bill and started digging around the numbers. It seems I've used 4090kWh over 2 months for about 4000 miles of driving. 99% of which was charged at home. Now I need to dig into my old bills to figure how much out of the 4090kWh I should have expected to use without Model S...

Just thought of animating the 3 tabs of NA supercharger map to get a sense where the gaps are being filled (now/soon/later):

The 85 (or 60 or 90) is significant. The D is significant. But the P merely points to Performance which is no longer enough. My suggestion is to use S85D for Sport 85D (the current 85D) I85D for Insane 85D L85D for Ludicrous 85D Some may argue that it's a small difference in performance specs...

With warmer temperatures finally hitting the north east, my son has basically given up his "office" saying it's too hot in there. The sunshades and AC settings do nothing for him. So I was researching and found O2Cool 10" fans as one good option but wondering if I need 2 and the one with the...

Or at least send an alert to the phone. Side request: optimize the rain sensing algorithm for wiper speed. It isn't that great.

I am facing some nagging issues with my car and wondering if there's any hope: I feel some buffering pressure in my ears at speeds over 20 but my wife doesn't feel it and the service guys didn't either. It's subtle but I can't imagine living with it for the life of the car. There are no...

My brand new baby is already scarred in a few places with scratches near the bottom of the doors. No idea how but the paint looks very vulnerable to it. Is the Tesla touch-up paint any good? Tesla Gear Shop Model S Touch-Up Paint If not, any other suggestions? Thanks!

Has anyone else noticed that the speed limit detection takes a fraction of a second longer when the rear view camera is on? It's not much but I have seen the marker change slightly ahead at the same spot when driving with rear view camera on vs off. If it's not just me, it could be the detection...

Has anyone ordered this trunk footwell mat? Wondering if it needs to be taken out when stowing away the jump seats. Looks thin but don't want to damage it when the seats get folded and packed on top of it...

Wondering how you feel about your Model S ownership experience after driving it for a year or more. This will help me plan for my next car.

Just drove a P85+ loaner after owning and driving an S85D for two weeks. First impression is that everyone should consider the D even if they don't live in the snow belt. The loaner overtseered more than expected and traction control goes crazy when I floor it at red lights even on dry roads...

I have both the rear console and rear facing jump seats. Wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to use both at the same time. Basically the latches in the back seat are used up by the jump seats when they're up (all the time) so I can't secure the console. Wondering if there's a way not to...

This is the Autopilot UI shown at the D event. Does this give any hint on what the overall UI overhaul might look like? Definitely looks flatter and modern in all the right places but keeps the richness/glossiness where it makes sense.

In today's call, Elon mentioned that LTE capability is being rolled out. Does it mean some cars have already been delivered with LTE and the functionality is being turned on gradually?

I was looking up Thermoelectric cooling (without refrigerant) and wondering if anyone knows if it can be applied to car ACs? Thermoelectric cooling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Thermoelectric Technical Reference - Advantages of Thermoelectric Cooling Advantages: Good for the environment...

Reddit AMA: Does anyone else believe that this could be HUGE? As in, they are designing something totally new without blindly respecting any existing car design conventions? I may be overthinking this but it could gel with Elon's "First Principles Thinking": Elon Musk's First Principles -...

I have an 85D ordered to be delivered in late February ($99k). Took a couple of test drives in an S60 last summer but unlike everyone else, I never got that great Tesla moment. Still, put down my deposit in May/June as I liked the idea of going all-electric. Had to push the delivery dates a few...

My Model S is due to arrive in October. I was wondering if there are any rumors or reports of hardware/design updates to Model S in the next few weeks or months? I can push back the delivery date as I'm in no hurry to get it.
