I drove through the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel yesterday while using autosteer. About halfway through the (1.4 mile long) tunnel, it suddenly screamed at me to take over. I had both hands on the wheel and was actively engaged anyway (narrow lanes and close walls!) so I did and it was no sweat. A...

Not quite two weeks ago, I started driving home, got on the highway, pulled the cruise control stalk to engage Autopilot, and... warning beep! Cruise control disabled. I had to drive 80 miles home by hand. The horror! I tried cleaning the radar and camera and rebooting the computers, no dice...

I stopped by the gallery in the mall today and they had an X as well as an S. It was my first time seeing one in person aside from a brief glimpse on the highway once. Very cool vehicle. I thought I'd mention it in case anyone else wanted to check one out and was waiting for one to be available...

My wife wanted this huge KIVIK sofa from IKEA, and naturally she didn't want to pay for delivery. We grabbed a tape measure, crunched the numbers, and decided we could fit it in our Model S. Probably. On the appointed day, we bought it, took it down to the loading area, ripped open the boxes...

So you pull into a six-stall supercharger where one other guy is charging. You manage to plug into the one stall that's paired with theirs, and now the two of you are sharing 135kW, while 270kW of charging resources sit idle. A bit of a waste! I was wondering, what would it take to eliminate...

I just got back from my first long Tesla road trip and thought it might be worth sharing my experiences. I drove from the DC suburbs to southern Florida for Christmas, then back by way of Orlando and the Mouse. The car is a RWD 85 which I got in February 2015. All in all, it was a great trip. I...

I got my S85 about two weeks ago and have been having a ton of fun with it. One of my amusements has been watching the car skillfully handle heavy traffic using the TACC feature. It's a little more aggressive than I'd like (even set to 7) but it's a wonderful feature that makes dealing with...

I thought I had a pleasant experience buying my Toyota from a local dealer a couple of years ago. But I went for a Tesla once I could afford it, and now I'm trading in my Prius for a Model S. I went to get a replacement title from the DMV because I couldn't find it, and they said, sorry...

Hello everybody; long-time lurker, first-time caller and all that. I'm starting to think seriously about putting in an order. I just got back from my second test drive. Unlike my first one a year ago, I could actually afford to buy one now, and it's tempting. I took the wife along on this one...
