I love my Model S when it is gleaming clean, but I admit to being lazy about hand washing the car myself. The Owners Manual has the following caution about using car washes: "If washing in an automatic car wash, use “Touchless” car washes only. These car washes must have no parts, such as...

My Parcel Shelf has just been delivered, so I expect that others in Canada are receiving theirs as well. I had not seen one before and had originally hoped it was some kind of roller shade that was unobtrusive when not in use. Instead the shelf is a bit invasive in the rear storage area. It is...

I recently had Tesla install a dash camera in my Roadster. Driving in most major cities has become a constant near-accident experience and I have found it comforting to be recording what is in front of me if something were to go wrong. Has anyone considered a dash camera for their Model S and...

"Immobilizer" sure sounds imposing! This device, to help keep the Model S from being stolen, is a mandatory requirement by Transport Canada. On the Roadster, it was implemented by requiring the middle button on the key fob to be pressed after starting the car. One of the great features of the...

Some high praise from Vanity Fair magazine (I like the title of the article): Is the Tesla Model S the Most Important Car of the 21st Century? | Style | Vanity Fair Always great when someone recognizes the Tesla Model S as a game changer!

I have a Roadster 2.5 with the the Alpine IVA-NAV-10 console unit (as supplied by Tesla). Every now and then, I get a message on the screen saying "SUB Updated. Press any key.". I don't know if this is an update message from Alpine or from the vehicle? [What is a "SUB"?] Anyone know what...

Well, as the only Canadian stop on the "Get Amped Tour", it was about time that we have our own thread to talk about the event. I am hoping that some of my fellow Roadster owners will want to try to rendezvous ahead of time to talk about the Model S. P.S. My wife loves to drive the Roadster...

When the Roadster was delivered, I received three keys. Two were full-use keys that my wife and I use to drive the car (they have 3 buttons on each for locking, unlocking and opening the trunk). The third, smaller key, I believe, is intended to be a "Valet Key". I'm not sure if it is a...

During my brief time as a Roadster driver I have been asked a lot of questions about the car. You get all the typical ones about how far, how fast, how much, etc. I have just come home from one of the last Fall days driving with the top off when, while stopped at a traffic light, a truck next...

The latest issue of WIRED magazine (October 2010) features a great cover story on Elon Musk and some of the history about Tesla Motors. "How Elon Musk turned Tesla into the fast, flashy, high-voltage car company of the future."

Very soon the Tesla Motors Club Forum will reach the level of 3000 registered members. That number does not include the many people who read this forum but never sign-up to post. I would like to congratulate the designers and moderators (and, of course, all of us "content providers") for...
