    Cybex SensorSafe - Anyone able to fit the device on a Model S?

    We just got one of the new Cybex Sirona S car seats with the SensorSafe technology. The Model S is listed as a car that it has limited functionality on, which implies that it should work in some capacity. Because of where the ODB port is, or how it is angled, we weren't able to plug the dongle...

    How accurate ( or inaccurate ) is your local speed limit display

    I guess I have AP1 since mine still reads with the camera? On a regular route I take, the speed limit jumps from 40 to 55 but there's a visual obstacle preventing the car from seeing the first 55mph sign, so I have to take over for awhile until the next speed limit sign appears. Also the...

    After 4 years of ownership do you plan to keep your tesla ?

    I won't upgrade until something better comes along, and right now...there isn't anything better. I'm done with ICE forever and I won't give up autopilot or my range. I don't enjoy roadtripping with the Tesla personally, so I'm not sure how I'd feel about giving up the tesla super charger...

    Garage door no longer auto-closes after a recent update

    Had my car since late 2015, never had an issue until the past month (maybe close to 2 now) when homelink stopped auto-closing my garage door. Anyone else had this issue? Worked flawlessly for years and then out of the blue, stopped doing it. The message on the display shows "auto close in...

    Houston/i45 Charging Situations? Spring, TX

    Yeah I've been watching drivetexas over the past week. Not thrilled at the thought of driving that way this weekend and would have happily cancelled were we given the option. i45 is supposed to be mostly clear now. I guess if I charged to full at Huntsville, that would get me all the way...

    Houston/i45 Charging Situations? Spring, TX

    Anyone know the condition of the Houston charging stations? Specifically the Spring, TX supercharger or the i10 Channelview ones? I don't want to make my weekend roadtrip (non refundable cruise ticket that insists it is going on schedule) but with DFW area running out of gas, the Tesla might...

    Side mirror cover came off while driving

    The cap on my side mirror decided to fly off while I was driving this morning. I had my car wrapped last year, so thankfully a corner of the wrap that wasn't tacked down right kept the thing attached to my car long enough for me to pull to the side of the road before it flew away completely...

    Center Console from eBay - Anyone try these?

    I don't know about that wood one. It screams "I don't belong here!" since it doesn't match anything else in the car. I've had the silicone one from the first page of this thread for months and no one has ever realized it wasn't a part of the car until I mentioned it. Probably because there...

    Firmware 8.0

    Autopilot was sooooo much more naggy about holding the wheel on my commute this morning. I use it on a 5 mile stretch of road and typically it only asks me to grab the wheel once (during a curvy stretch). This morning it nagged me 4 times..two of which I had my hands resting on the bottom of...

    Alarm on speed limit +10? Anyone driving without it?

    I can't recall the exact setting, but I know my speed limit sign gets larger as soon as I've gone 10mph over. (Who knows what it does with 8.0, just got that this morning). I don't pay any attention to it as it's pretty common to see most cars going 10mph over around here. I almost always...

    Color choice?

    Get it white since that option won't cost you a thing, and if you change your mind about the color, have it wrapped in whatever your heart desires! Personally I would not factor things like cooling and scratches into the color choice. Get what will make you happy to look at. While I love...

    Any owners with big dogs?

    My 65lb tall dog (Standard Poodle, so he's taller than most labs or goldens that weigh a lot more) really doesn't love the Tesla, unfortunately. We got one of those back seat hammocks that covers the entire seat so that he and my other dog can ride to the vet and groomer, but they really don't...

    Photos - Teal & black vinyl wrapped 90D

    I'll definitely let you know. My wrapper says she'll really only need to re-wrap the parts that were hit so her estimate will be low. She's getting something together for me to get to my insurance company. One issue is that anything re-painted has to sit for 30 days before she can wrap it...

    Well at least I'll have "before" pictures for the body shop...because some psycho just rammed into the side of my car and drove off. :(

    Summon Why ?

    Here's my situation: My driveway is steep. My car will bottom out if there are several people in it. I have to tell everyone to get out of the car before I pull into the garage. If we're leaving the house, they can't get into the car until I back it out. With summon, I can enter and exit...

    New owner in Texas

    Welcome to the club! Brace yourself for the paying of sales tax because Texas is a big jerkface about Tesla and cuts all the other e-vehicles a break except us. When I was picking up my plates..the lady punched the numbers into her computer, got the sales tax total, starts LAUGHING loudly...

    This is called Ocean Shimmer by 3M. Here are some other examples: ocean shimmer vinyl wrap - Google Search I was debating between this color and Avery's Blue Lagoon which is also very pretty. In person, the Ocean Shimmer had a slight touch more green than the Blue Lagoon. avery blue lagoon...

    There is that phrase...opinions are like a-holes...everyone has one but we don't need to hear them, heh. I respect that everyone has the right to post their opinion on an open forum of course, but I definitely would ask folks as a courtesy to me...that they try to avoid insulting my own...

    Photos - Teal & black vinyl wrapped 90D

    I should start by saying...I'm a fan of bright colored cars! So when I took delivery of my 90D, I immediately took it to get wrapped. I also had the 19" cyclone wheels powdercoated a glossy black and the windows tinted. The vinyl colors are 3M Ocean Shimmer (Satin) and Avery Satin Black. We...

    Slight Clunking / Thudding Sound on hard acceleration

    After my walkthrough, the Tesla delivery gal took my charging adaptor out of the little zippered container in the trunk and brought it into the car to talk to me about it. She then told me about how she keeps it in the glovebox, so she stuck it in there. I embarrassingly have to admit that it...

    I should have gotten air suspension, but I didn't. Now what?

    Those curb bridges sound interesting, trying to decide if they'll actually solve the issue since it isn't my nose dragging. It's actually the middle of the car, somewhere under the passenger area, that will hit the corner of the garage floor as the car tilts forward. The back tires are still...

    Only 6 radio station presets?

    I had the same complaint my first week...couldn't figure out how to pare down 10 stations to 6. So I programmed the unusual stations in (Local station with talk show and Jack FM) and forgot about the rest. Slacker offers enough channels that I really don't need pop or top 40 or rock stations...

    Next Gen Seat Heaters - Worthless

    Are you not wearing a top when you sit down or something? I guess when it's cold enough for my seat warmer, I've got at least 2 layers on so I really don't notice the sides being cold. I guess I should caveat that I almost always pre-warm the car using the app on my phone so it's rarely cold...

    I should have gotten air suspension, but I didn't. Now what?

    I spent a long time going back and forth on air vs coil suspension and I ended up with coil. I made a mistake. I did not realize that my own driveway (for the next 10 months) and my work driveway (also for the next ~year) are unfriendly to the car. I'm able to get into my garage at home ONLY...

    Rear passenger headrests

    This one is driving me crazy. I don't frequently take passengers in the back seat so I saw no need for the nicer bucket seats in the back. Now I'm regretting that decision simply because I have terrible vision with that center seat headrest blocking what seems like 1/3 of my window. The...

    Photos: Grey Next Gen seats + Carbon Fiber + Black Alcantara + Premium Front Console

    Beautiful car OP! I took delivery of mine last week with almost identical choices. Grey next-gen, carbon fiber, blue (although mine is wrapped..not Tesla's blue), black alcantara... I haven't gotten a console quite yet, still considering my options there!

    No more standard leather seats in design studio

    I noticed it in October. I was going back and forth between the two leather options and it was completely gone by the time I placed my order at the start of November. Personally I love the new seats, but I'm not sure they're worth the extra price (iirc they are $1000 more than the others)...

    Waze Users??!?!?!

    I'll definitely give it a try the next time I'm not in a hurry. Traffic was on but I don't know what the threshold was. It was a night and day experience compared to Waze...so even if it gets the traffic right, it's still not going to have the comments (Wazers report which lanes accidents are...

    Waze Users??!?!?!

    I took delivery of my Tesla yesterday and I was already going crazy without Waze. The basic nav in the Tesla is just awful...it routed me directly into a mess of traffic that I got stuck in. Pulled out Waze on my phone and it immediately got me going on a different route while the Tesla nav...

    Is Model X slowing down Model S production?

    I'm in that boat. I was waiting for the Model X launch to see if anything got added to the S. I'm still in waiting mode (mostly for personal reasons I suppose) but I have my model X reservation and still plan on going with the S. Part of me is still clinging to the hope that the Model S nose...
