Hi, Do any of you know exactly when the original dark blue was replaced? I have an original blue 2012 that will be falling off its extended warranty soon and am looking for options. I've been planning/leaning toward keeping my 2012 "forever", but have been considering my options. I would like...

With all these P85+ > P85 reports I thought I might add my experience with my own P85 :) Haven't driven a P85+ but I recently restored my tired old Performance S with 21" Conti's to it's original sure footed self. When I first got my P85 in last days of 2012 (VIN 1919) it was rock solid in...

Ok, got tired of song on demand not working anymore. Then, because of this reduction in functionality, my 12 yr old daughter started saying our Model S wasn't that cool anymore. (GASP!) Sooooo... I signed up for Slacker Premium. Now any song that can play on demand does. And I can...

Hi, I need to plug into my friends boat dock power receptacle when I'm there next week. He describes it as 50A, 2 Phase 250V. Here is a picture he took. Anyone know if I can use this and what adaptor I would need?

Has anyone had their passenger door repaired or adjusted? I know there were many reports of hard to close doors on the first several waves of deliveries. I'm wondering if Tesla has a fix for this or if everyone is just living with it. I cross my fingers everytime I give a...

Anyone else have squeeky brakes? I hate squeeky brakes and my S has them bad. I usually try to avoid using the breaks but I just can't slow to a stop without some chirp or worse. I've also tried using them heavily in case its just film issue - no go. (I have a miata that squeeks the first...

Paid a local highend detail shop to hand wash my S. They were very excited to work on a Model S and took some nice pics with a very nice camera. Since they were nice enough to email some of the pics I thought I'd give them a plug and share them with you.

My wife and I are considering getting an X since we love our S so much. I have my doubts about how seven people are going to fit in the X and about the max size of the rear two people? From youtube videos at NAIAS I see that the middle row seats slide fwd and bck but it looks like it might be...

I got my S at the very end of 1012 then immediately went out of town for a week. When I returned, my 12V was toast and had to be replaced. Then a two week cold muddy rain started. So to say the least my S was looking mighty dirty. My plan is to get it coated with Opti-Coat or Cquartz or...

I'm P1937 and I'm going to get my MSP when I get it, BUT I'm hoping for a 2013 model year VIN to increase my resale price. Probably not a popular stance, but to me, I'd rather get my car a few weeks later and get the $7k+ back years later when I sell it. 2012's may very well be tagged as the...

I think good videos provide the best way (well second best :) ) to get a feel for how the S actually looks in a particular color. I've started with some of my favorites and will add yours to this first post for all. Remember to up resolution to 720 or 1080P and do full screen... Sig Red...

Mods, Can we please get a sticky to help with exterior color choices? I think it would be worth a thread for each color and you mods could remove any posts not containing pictures or videos to keep it clean. (or just one thread if separates are too many) Here's a few to get started...

During the test drive I forgot to ask about Hands Free Calling and I don't see any threads on the topic or see it in a FAQ. How is this accomplished in the Model S? Is it Bluetooth only and dependent on the abilities of my phone? Does the car have its own number and calling plan like my...

This may have been covered before, but I was wondering if the performance of the S was somehow made uniform with the three battery options? If not, then there is a potential performance boost going with the smaller battery which must be 300-500lb's lighter than the 300 mile option. If...
