    Selling a brand new, unused, set of silver 21" forged arachnid wheels, complete with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires (245/35ZR21 front, 265/35ZR21 rear) and TPMS sensors.

    Oily Fluid Leaking From Autopilot Camera Housing

    On the morning of May 8th, I went into my garage to clean the Model S windshield before my wife left for work and noticed a ~6" long drip/run of a clear oily fluid running down the inside of the windshield from the Autopilot camera housing. The fluid felt somewhat similar to a machine oil...

    Decided to drive from LA area to SF Bay area without using Superchargers...

    Last weekend, I decided to drive from the Antelope Valley (just East of LA) to the San Jose area and I chose to make the trip without using Tesla's Supercharger network--sounds stupid, I know, and I already made a post talking a little about the experience here... but I thought that the...

    Students at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo's Prototype Vehicles Lab are working on building a solar powered car to break the current solar powered car land speed record (held by the University of New South Wales) and bring the record back to the US.

    Looking to borrow a CHAdeMO adapter...

    Hey everyone! Would anyone happen to have a CHAdeMO adapter that I could borrow from April 6th to April 9th? I'm located out in the Antelope Valley (Palmdale/Lancaster area), but traveling into the Burbank area wouldn't be a problem. Thanks! :)

    Chevy Bolt 24-hour test drive--it's no Tesla, but it's not bad

    I did a 24-hour test drive of the Chevy Bolt last week and, as much as I dislike GM and their products, it really wasn't bad. It has flaws, yes, but my wife and I both were rather surprised by the car overall... so I made a video.

    Anyone Going To CES?

    Is anyone here heading out to Vegas for CES this week? If so, exhibitor, industry, media? I'll be driving out tomorrow but, as much as I'd like to, I won't be taking the S... wife doesn't want to be stuck driving the other car.

    Rear Liftgate Strut Failure

    So, one of the struts that holds up the manual liftgate on my S failed over the weekend while I was out running errands... judging by the grime around the end of the strut, it looks like a seal failed or something. Thankfully my wife was with me, so we traded off acting as human tailgate props...

    Voice Control Not Linked To Navigation Favorites?

    So, I normally don't use the voice commands but was messing around with them yesterday and I noticed that, while the car will navigate to places of interest via voice command in v8.0, asking the car to navigate to a user created navigation favorite (with a custom title) doesn't seem to work...

    Missing carpet pieces in the trunk?

    Hey guys! Quick question for anyone who cares to look: Are these sections of carpet (pictured below, they're in the trunk just above the storage pockets on either side of the frame rails) normally missing on the Model S? I ask because I just got my car back from the Burbank service center on...

    Audio Problem: Audio Sped Up & Right Channel Audio Turns to Static Intermittently

    Okay, so the wife and I took delivery of our Model S on Thursday and we quite like it, but there are a few problems... the strangest of which being this audio issue. Simply put, nothing sounds right in this car and this morning's investigation has helped us figure out what's up. All audio...
