    Cold Weather Motor/Drivetrain noise on Model S P85D [video]

    Hit play on the video above and let me know what you think. The situation: I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I park my Model S P85D outside (I know... so mean to it). I plug it in every night. Last night was pretty cold here... -25 Celsius and probably more like -35C with the windchill...

    Model S Driver Fatality in Winnipeg (car hit by dump truck)

    Super sad. This just happened in the city I live in. Probably only around 25 - 30 Tesla owners here. Many of us know each other, so we were doing roll call after the news came out. I didn't personally know this man, but just can't believe it (drive on that street often). Super, super sad. Man...

    Winter Woes: No heat in my Tesla this morning

    Well, ran into my first *major* annoyance with my P85D this morning. Hopefully it's a minor issue and will correct itself. Issue: Car wouldn't pre-heat this morning, and on my ride to the office it never warmed up at all either. Normally I use the app to turn on Climate control and let the...

    Best settings for P85D launch / drag racing?

    Heading to the local drag strip this weekend for some fun.... Friday night is 1/8 mile street racing (drivers can challenge other drivers to a race), and Saturday is test and tune day, so can do 1/4 mile solo runs. Figured I'd get an Insane mode baseline and will do it again after I get the...

    Have any P85D owners confirmed service date for Ludicrous mode retrofit?

    Just wondering if any Tesla P85D owners out there have an actual date yet with their service center to get ludicrous mode installed? I'm in Canada, but will be taking mine into the Minneapolis service center (since it's closer). I spoke to the service manager on Monday and they still didn't...

    World's Greatest Tesla Model S P85D Review Series Videos

    Hi All! I just took delivery of my new Model S in P85 trim on July 12th. After seeing Car & Driver's somewhat lackluster road trip review of their unit last week, I decided I'm going to get to work on what I hope will become one of the best long-term video review series of the Model S. I just...
