    Bike Racks or Hitch Rack/System Ideas for MS

    I totally agree, they're used by several of my fellow model S road bikers. They have buttons on them that show at a glance if there is any vacuume issue. Very easy to put on and off. Read the reviews.

    Firmware 8.0

    -------------- The divided roads are not freeways, let's call them 3-4 lane major arteries with speed limits of 45-55 mph. There is limited access primarily at major intersections. Going the speed limit is a hazard and rightfully angers many of the other drivers who are trying to go with the...

    Firmware 8.0

    After staying quiet about the recent software upgrade that forces autopilot;etc to strictly follow the speed limits on non-freeway roads I have the following comments: 1). Many 'divided' roads that have speed limits of 45 or 50 MPH have the speed limit enforced. This causes me to be an...

    Comprehensive USB Bug List

    ever since I upgraded to 8.o, I'm experiencing unacceptable results from my USB that has been working flawlessly. The bugs: 1). Most songs will not play when selected and the 'loading error' displayed. See pictures below. 2). If I'm lucky and find a song to play, it might play for 30...

    Tesla is dumping Mobileye???

    In reading through this thread, I find it strange that Apple is not considered as a potential supplier. There are large investments by Apple toward this exact area of technology. It addition with the investment in China's answer to Uber, it shows Tesla and Apple have similar objectives...

    On fence choosing between Model X and Mercedes GLS

    Well, I live in Sarasota, and the streets flood. Never had a problem in 6" of water. As far as gas stations, after 23,000 miles including several trips, it's a non-issue.

    I live in S. Florida, about zero percent chance to drive in snow, rwd right?

    Also I believe there is different gearing, which leads to efficiencies at different speeds, prioritizing the most efficient motor.

    I have a P85D and find the duel motors to vastly improve my driving during heavy rain, that we have here in Sarasota. Also, I believe the duel motors have more range and performance. I'm glad I chose the "D'

    New Buyers Beware / Negative repair process

    I have to wonder if others in the supply line were to blame between Tesla and the owner ... 1). Insurance company 2). Repair center being able to order (example credit line etc.) 3). Could be many reasons. it does surprise me that the worst case is continuously flogged, while great repair work...

    7.1 Perpendicular Parking Video and Comments

    There must be some technique that I'm missing. I live in a condo that has perpendicular spots. Only 20% maybe less of my attempts, do I see the "P". I wish the car would learn its parking spot or learn to look for its spot. Any ideas for those of us that are fustrated with this feature...

    7.1 Perpendicular Parking Video and Comments

    My parking space in my condo is perpendicular and I have successfully parked in it about 6 times. From a subjective standpoint it seems if the car is getting better at identifying the space and parking with less adjustments. Is anyone else seeing this behavior? Could the car be learning...

    Yes, I found going about 4 mph passing the parking spot I want to back into, and going about three spots up, presented the park icon. Putting my car in park, presented the option to park. The car takes over and parks in the middle of the spot.

    Texas (or areas where it is hot): A/C doesn't perform as expected

    I live in Florida and it's been in the 90's with high humidity all summer. Tinting my windows made a huge difference. Regarding the air conditioning, I find that if I have range mode set to ON, the cooling is a bit limited for my needs. With range mode off, I set the tempature to 65 and...

    Tesla in a condo ?
