    5 Years of Model S Ownership and 120,000 miles in the UK

    Thought it was worth sharing my thoughts now my 85S has been sold, just in case anyone was wondering what it is actually like! I bought a black MS 60 autopilot in October 2014 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. This was an excellent car however, I got a bit close on range limits with a real...

    Why has Tesla dumbed down the suspension tuning on a $100K sports sedan?

    Is this thread serious? If you want a good handling car, buy a Lotus Elise or maybe an MX5 Miata. Expecting a 4,600 lbs sedan to "handle" a bit better by putting staggered wheels on it and a few different suspension settings is one of the funniest things I have heard in a long time. The...

    Important VIN thresholds?

    My old Model S was one of the first with Auto Pilot hardware. It was around number 52,000. Build quality was excellent. Mr current MS is number 93,200. Differences are minor but additions include include DAB radio, alcantara dash insert and head lining, yacht floor on the centre console...

    Instead of Robot Chargers, WIRELESS!

    What you really want is the ability to wirelessly charge whist driving. Even is only a percentage of the charge being consumed was replenished, it would extend your range significantly over say 100 miles. Now, if they could just bury something in the road, that would be picked up in the car...

    Model S Performance & Handling Compared to my BMW

    @SMAC, I did 25k in my S60 and then I changed it for the same reasons you were thinking about changing yours. I wasn't going to get a new car but a chance conversation with WD resulted in an offer for my S60 and a deal was done. What did I get? an S85 in red. It was 4 week old and in stock. The...

    Comparing the older P85+ and the new 85D

    Maybe the P85D is more "idiot" proof, the P85 is for those that can actually drive? Nothing wrong with a high performance rear wheel drive car. Never was, never will be.

    BMW tries to fight my Model S - somewhat successful...

    Having been fixing cars for 25 years-Doesn't look that bad to me. Need to check the wheel. If the mechanical damage was confined to the lower ball joint, looks replacing that item would make the car drivable. The lower ball joint could be part of a lower arm assembly, but really this is no...

    Thinking of ordering a model S - moving from a BMW 330

    I did 80,000 miles in a 240bhp 330d. I got my model S a couple of years later. No comparison! The BMW would now feel like being in the stone age. Bit confused here about some negative comments regarding the handling of the Model S. It never feels anything else than absolutely stuck to the...

    Was such a nice day and then...

    I reckon they are taking you leg up. unless there is loads more damage than is shown on the pictures. I am a qualified body repairer and MS owner. Although I don't paint cars any more, I see this kind of damage on resale cars dealt with weekly. It is a standard repair, probably easier on an...

    I just got big-timed by a fellow Tesla. 85s can't hang with P85Ds apparently...

    You are assuming the driver owned the car. He was probably delivering it earning $15 and hour.

    Which Essential Extras.

    Well James, Thats what I did for the tax. But I am in the UK. For what it is worth and S60 with supercharging and the tech pack is a pretty nifty thing for the money. James
