The screen in the model S is not distracting at all. I rarely need to fiddle with it while driving but the odd time I do the large screen is great to use. Tesla made a large jump away from traditional cars with the electric motor and now is looking at questioning other 'normal' car things like...

I figured it was too good to be true.

This twitter claims to have a photo of the Model 3. I have no verification Son Tran on Twitter

Good,find thanks. This looks good enough for the job. Better than $600 to hold cups

No, I charge every night. What I meant was, the range I got back is the equivalent to a day of commuting for me. It was not an insignificant amount of range I had lost.

Ok, update. I told Tesla that if they say my battery loss is normal then I wanted to know what was abnormal so that once I hit that number we would both know something was wrong. A day after I sent the email they informed that they detected a problem with my battery remotely. Shortly after I got...

I have tried the methods suggested and my range keeps going down. Tesla keeps telling me its within normal limits.

I got my S60 in Nov 2014. It used to get 185 miles at 90%. It now gets 163 even though my w/mile has gone down. Tesla acknowledges the loss but says its within normal limits. Anyone beat that?

Having this same issue but it only started happening to me after update 7.0. Drive for 2 minutes with AC on very low and the fan starts blasting as high as when I use a supercharger. I can hear the fan inside the car over the radio. Service center added sound dampening but basically said thats...

Be grateful my MS60 is down to 167 at 90%

I agree. But for now they are telling me they will continue to monitor even as I see on my Tesla App that the car hit a new low of 167 miles at 90% while they had the car for inspection.

Well Tesla came back and they admit on my service report that my capacity has gone down 10% and faster than average but they still say its normal and should "average" out as fleet averages catch up, whatever that means. Not sure how I plan any trips now if my distance between supercharges is...

S60 getting a bit frustrated. Now at 308 w/m average with about 20 k on the car and only getting about 169 at 90% When I got the car it was getting 185 at 90%. Even as my avg w/m has gone down my rated range has also gone down Teska looked at it twice and keeps telling me there's no issue...

Nov 2014 picked up car with 185 at 90%. 5000 miles on the car. Now car shows 167 at 90% and 188 at 100%. Avg wh/m is 309. 21k on the odemeter. I charge to 90% each night. Getting concerned about the range drop.

Took about half an hour to go one mile. My w/mi hit 550 for that stretch. Early morning so AC was on but very low power.

There is an easy fix for both trunk and frunk lighting for under ten dollars that will give you blaxingly bright lights that turn on when you open them that I posted a while back edit here Newer models have an LED plug on passenger side rear (Vin 40k+) - Page 4

But I would have thought that would be offset by the time just spent sitting and not having the car move at all. I was just surprise by the numbers as compared to going at highway speeds.

I always understood that in traffic the Tesla is better than other cars because its not burning fuel by just idling but today there was a traffic jam lots of stop and go, top speed maybe 10 miles an hour. I was surprised to see me energy usage spiking. Over the course of a mile of very slow...

Depends on the price.

Again, depends on the price.

It was much more than a $3000 difference. I'm trying to figure out what the upgrade option is. If its $3000 I am all over that. If its $3000 for 85-90 but $20,000 for 60-90 then I am much less interested.

Can't imagine any S60 owner not upgrading to to 90 if in fact we can do it. Hearing conflicting things about this. First it was only available to 85 owners. Are we certain its available to 60 owners?

For me, as a daily driver, I could not go back to ICE because I do not miss 1. gas stations 2. oil changes 3. fumes 4. noise 5. vibration 6 unpredictable (compared to the MS) throttle response 7. tailpipe emissions 8. keys (at least in my wife's ICE) 9. buttons galore on the dash 10. burning...

I hear you, its a very awkward position to try and get into. But its worth it. I put blue LEDs in and they look great. I still have the original lights in a bag

Its really easy. They are in there solidly but if you get a smaller screwdriver head, like something you use for computers it will be easier. On one side of the lights you should feel a slight indentation or gap, the screwdriver or pick should fit in there and then its just a matter of wiggling...

I am with the others who have said this does not need to be a fine combing of the legal language but rather a common sense approach to the use of the superchargers. Also, its not about saving tesla money, its about doing what is right to help out fellow Tesla owners.

Thanks

Just got 6.1 update again? Did this happen to anyone else? I got my 6.1 update a couple weeks ago and then last night was notified I had another update. When I got to my car this morning the release notes seemed to be exactly the same as before.

Can they do anything for the other models like the S60?

No issues for me

3 months with the car. Older seats. Not one complaint. If you don't like them don't buy the car.

Going through a drive through the young guy working the window starts talking to me about the car and in the end says something like "Yo, man, for real? I gots to give you mad respects for the car." So now apparently Tesla has some street cred. I had no Tesla last week visiting the inlaws and...

I am not accusing anyone of anything so please don't misunderstand what I am about to write. My concern is that this is an app, written by someone I don't know that requires me to type in my Tesla log in information which gives access to my car. Is no one else concerned by this? Or maybe I...

you are close by, we should plan and go sometime.

Does anyone have any experience going to the open drags on Friday nights at the Houston Motor Sports Park? I was thinking of having some fun and getting some official numbers with a couple runs. Apparently the track is 1/8 which is perfect for the MS.

Thanks, you too. Hopefully the Model X and 3 will solve this problem for our wives.

One month update. I am one day shy of one month in my MS and have no regrets about this car at all. My only problem is that my wife has not taken to the car. I think after being used to sitting high in her Pilot and having larger windows she is not comfortable in the low riding MS with its...

That is awesome.

Just the tan leather.I used a long exposure as the light from the car was the only light in my otherwise pitch black garage.

I have kept my Tesla stock. I am actually in a pretty lucrative profession, I have just never seen cars as a wise use of my money. I was of the mindset that four wheels and and engine was all I really needed. The Tesla changed that. In my first post ever on TMC I had mentioned that this car is...

Two million......and then laugh maniacally.

Driving home a Mercedes low slung coupe ( I am not good with identifying cars) suddenly pulls into traffic behind me and gets really close to my bumper. I thought I had cut her off her something until she raised her phone and very clearly starts snapping some pictures.

Don't I know it. The registration tax alone on the MS was almost the resale value of the Versa.

I cant help, but the languages department in your local college surely has a German speaker

Lol, my car right before this was a Versa

There is always a time and place for fun. My four year old constantly asks me if we can "go fast now". Many times I have to tell her no. But on a straight road with little or no traffic ahead, a quick zip up to the speed limit makes her happy and isn't dangerous. I did not beat a Jaguar but I...

At the DMV today getting ready to sell my old car. Clerk: Do you enjoy your Aston Martin? Me: My what? Clerk: I saw you outside when I came in that's a big screen in your car. Me: No, it's Tesla, and yes its great. Clerk: A what?

For how cheap they are I suspect that's not really 3M tape on the back.

I agree. Maybe some of the other points are valid but why on earth would you need this to be made out of titanium? Are you regularly hanging on to this whilee you drive?

Well I may have to change my user name, but I followed the instructions and got some blue lights instead. They turned out great. I think I am done though with the mods as my wife thinks I am reverting to a 16 year old with this car. Thanks to everyone for sharing on here. Hardest part of...
