The car has been sold! Thanks to the buyer, and all those who indicated interest. This has funded a new Model 3 :D... now getting XPEL Ultimate Plus, Gtechniq Crystal Serum, XPEL XR Prime tint, and Gtechniq interior coating... all from All American Paint Protection in Rockville, MD! Just from...

Hi Jamie -- I will reply to you on Facebook. Yes I would imagine that after a few full charges / long trips the pack counter may "reset" and appear to regain some rated miles... I just had to "burn off" some miles after filling up at the Laurel Supercharger -- that was a pretty fast 25 miles...

Data coming in now from Laurel MD Supercharger: Charging Levels ================ 60% is 146 MI -- difference from original: (.6 × 265)−146 = 13 MI 70% is 166 MI -- difference from original: (.7 × 265) - 166 = 19.5 MI 80% is 189 MI difference from original: (.8 x 265) - 189 = 23 MI 90% is 213...

Hi... Sure... actually I'm doing a "test charge" right now to 80% and I will let you know... then I can try the other levels and will let you know those as well. But I'm at home right now so it will take a while ;)... but I could swing by the Laurel Supercharger to speed it up :). Here's what...

I just wanted to give a report on the excellent repair outcome I had with Criswell Collision Center. They completed the repair in 1/2 the time they estimated -- I brought the car in Tues, had it back on Fri. (same week). The repair has made the upper left rear quarter panel look *brand new*...

Seriously... someone needs to tweet / email Elon about this!! I bet he would bust some heads and make stuff roll... depending on the real root of the issue. I mean it's not just 1 person's body-work... it's the many-owner multi-month/week parts issue across the board that must be fixed! Now I...

I'm a *huge* Tesla / Elon / SpaceX / OpenAI etc. fan... heck one of the NASA missions I worked on launched on a Falcon 9! But in such a case I'd say go for a tweet and/or email to Elon maybe! I mean if the parts department is *this* messed up, better fix it NOW before thousands of Model 3's...

Thanks -- yes I have CQuartz Finest paint coating on the whole car. Fortunately my insurance will cover that too. Coincidentally I just chatted with another S 85 owner (same paint and interior as mine even) at work today and he too had used Criswell Collision Center (wayyy back a few years...

I have about a 15 inch long deep scratch in upper left rear quarter panel. My damage (from when I was at an industrial park kind of place) happened when I was backing up and turning around a trailer and couldn't see their hitch -- it got me in my blind spot. I just visited Criswell Collision...

Awesome... great news finally! :)

That is completely AWESOME (that the site has been found)! Thanks for sharing! :) Great to see this Erie Supercharger finally materializing! It will be super useful.

I know this thread is a bit old... but... just to add another to the list -- When I took delivery about a year ago, the steering wheel alignment was about 4-5 deg to the right. So I brought it in a month later and they fixed it... at first I thought it was slightly left, but it was pretty much...

We just used the Strasburg Supercharger on Sunday -- drove out from Maryland, charged up while eating at Denny's, entered Skyline Drive at the North entrance and exited at Thornton Gap w/ more than enough charge to return to DC / Maryland -- a great way to see Shenandoah National Park. And I...

Thanks for pinging Tesla about Erie. I too would love to see some action this!! :)

Feel free to PM me if you need a referral link. Thanks. :)

I also do the Maryland / DC to Northeast Ohio / Erie trip and the Erie SC would be *super* useful to me. I'm lucky I can charge at my hotel when I come up here... use an L6-30R plug on a utility pole to Tesla NEMA 10-30 (using an adapter from NEMA 14-50R to L6-30P Twist-Lock Adapter w/ the...

I am assuming that it didn't pass in 2015 again. It seems that some toll booths take pics of front plates, hence possible strong resistance to it ever passing. In any case I just got a warning today 4/23/15 for no front plate in MD, so it must not have passed. So I just ordered "The Law"...

I feel the same way about my dark blue S85. I could have had the 85D, but I save money and can drive far (vs. 70D) in a classic dark blue car that will be a lot of fun in the future. ;) :)

What part of DC? I lived in Dupont Circle for 6 years… You will see a fair number of Model S's in the Bethesda area. Since I now live in suburban Maryland, I only see them rarely, which is kinda fun. I sometimes get questions / comments about my Tesla jacket: "Wow do you own one of...

Yes I noticed that the "en_GB" forum link also works, but from my "My Tesla" page the forum link redirects back to the Tesla Motors front page. I'm guessing this will get fixed soon.

I feel the same way Rifleman… my S85 may have just lost 10k in value, but I'll be loving it every day for at least 7 years… dream car drive every time. Gas cars look more and more antiquated every day! ;) We can pass them so effortlessly it's like it's not even fair :tongue: . like that movie...

I'd like to see an Erie Supercharger by late May! ;) :) I just took my first road trip last weekend and used 3 different Superchargers... awesome experience. Keep 'em coming Tesla! :)

Yeah I just saw that on Twitter... awesome... upright and soft landing... would have been great in reasonable weather on the droneship.

Wow tremendous launch today of DSCOVR... very gratifying to be a part of this NASA mission... hopefully SpaceX will have good enough conditions to land the 1st stage next time... :)... or maybe have a super droneship ;).

I actually work on DSCOVR... (wrote software for ground-based science data processing). I'm really excited for Monday -- psyched to see the attempted landing on the ocean-based platform. I have to say it was cool to see Elon Musk actually re-tweet the name of a project I work on :)... So I own...

I had my CQuartz Finest applied by Dave Miller, owner of TLC Auto Detail TLC Auto Detail As I said, I had the Platinum Package done (TLC Auto Detail Cquartz Finest Platinum Detail), since I also wanted the interior and full wheels / brake calipers protected. I wanted the interior tan...

Check out the gloss... I'm very pleased with how the CQuartz Finest turned out: Associated FaceBook post: https://www.facebook.com/TLCAutoDetail/photos/a.378807857635.159840.56957342635/10152551149197636/?type=1&theater I went for the full "Platinum Detail" which included using CarPro...

Yup that's it. I know exactly that ticking sound... have the same thing. You just have to crank the volume on your video and then it can be heard.. slightly subtle still, but very clear now in this recording, so thanks! I look forward to an eventual resolution... in the meantime I otherwise...

I'm glad this thread is here... my 3-week-old Model S has this strange ticking sound too... kinda odd / annoying... however, despite that, I love the car like crazy... most amazing car I've ever owned or driven, BY FAR. I look forward to a resolution to this because other than this, my car is...

Congratulations! Enjoy! :^) I picked up my Model S just 3 weeks ago... most beautiful, fun to drive, technologically advanced and outright awesome car that I've ever owned / driven... car is amazing every single day. It's like a dream to have one in your garage... I still can't believe I...

@Nixter +1

Hi MoeMistry, Thanks very much for the thoughtful and informative reply :). It was actually some of your posts that helped to convince me to give CQuartz Finest a try. I have an appt. with someone who I feel is one of the best detailers in the DC / MD / VA area. He also has done I think over...

I've had an issue with the driver side door handle where a number of times, soon after opening the driver side door and stepping out of the car, I push the door closed by the driver's door handle and it "pushes in" too fast as I push on it… as if my pressing on it causes it to begin to actually...

Hi, Does anyone here know if having an after-market clearcoat coating like CQuartz Finest would have any impact on the Tesla paint warranty? I tried to call and they seem to be a bit unsure. I suppose any kind of after-market paint treatment could potentially void the warranty, but who knows…...

Thanks! I had seen that show but missed the first part of it... :)

Hey there, thanks... yeah most amazing car I've ever driven -- like a car from the future, in every way. It wasn't that long from build completion to delivery. I think that shipping only took like 1-2 weeks or so. Then they had the car and actually my delivery was delayed by 1 day due to a...

I just took delivery 2 days ago and my car is absolutely mind-blowing -- totally blows me away in every department... awesome car. I set up GPS Homelink today and it works great, even with my metal garage door. Observations... I have just a very slight tilt of the "steering wheel trim" to...

Ha! I just saw your car a couple days ago when I was on my way to sell my TSX in Ellicott City... I'm picking up my S85 on Monday... trying to decide on a possible vanity plate...

I'm thinking about using the 3M tape to tape the plate to the plastic plate holder, and then tape the holder to the nose cone. I realize that the back of plastic holder isn't ideal for tape, but I figure to build up a few layers of tape to make a few "pads"… I don't feel like bending the plate...

+1. Paradigm busting is what Tesla does. Love it! It's true that functionality / practicality can't be sacrificed just to bust a paradigm, but, sometimes it takes a while to learn the virtues of a new one ;). I'm thinking some day there will be more "programmable haptics" behind touchscreens...

October 9th happens to be the day of my Tesla Fremont Factory Tour!... can't wait! :)

Yes.. that would be the question, however, from the feel of the interview I get the feeling that the new sensors could indeed be adequate for some level of autonomous driving. Those were exactly the sensors that Elon mentioned... it seems perhaps those are all that will be needed.

Yet another version of the link :) -- Elon Musk: Tesla 90% autonomous in 2015 - Video - Technology - Innovation Nation Rock and roll!!! This absolutely rocks... I just love the "Well, we're a Silicon Valley company, so of course we're going to lead and other companies will follow.."... lol...

+1 to Todd Burch!! :) I had posted this on the Tesla forum, but it directly relates to what you just said, so reposting here: Hey... to those who worry about what features you get when... this is just what happens when cars are "continually improved when released" instead of spec'ed out in...

Congrat's offset!! This absolutely rocks! I'm with you!! Bravo Tesla indeed!! I am uber-psyched for December now :)... freaking awesome car / company / and CEO! Ok... sure nobody and no company is "perfect"... would I like to have door pockets, a pop-down sunglasses holder, and free center...

Good luck offset! I hope you get 'em :). I also have a 56XXX VIN… With my S85 not being delivered until December, I'd say I have a pretty good chance of having all this new stuff… looking forward to it very much! I love Tesla (and SpaceX and pretty much everything that Elon says and does)...
