Pulled up next to a CT today in Carlsbad and raced him. That thing is crazy quick off the line! So weird to see a brick accelerate like that!!!

Do you want a million views on your youtube channel? Want to impress all the internet forum minions? Want to win friends and influence people? Post a video review of your Plaid! Seriously, though, a bunch of us Plaid+ reservation holders are getting calls from Tesla Sales asking us to...

Got a call from Tesla. They're offering a "priority" delivery of a Plaid if I cancel my Plaid+ pre-order. When I asked what Priority meant, he said it's a June delivery, which is what you can get on the website anyway. He also said that the only difference is the range, which I'm not sure I...

I pre-ordered a plaid car months ago. Now the website has a configurator for plaid with a delivery estimate of March and a plaid plus pre-order with delivery late 2021. What happened to my pre-order? If people can order a plaid car now for March delivery, why haven't I received an email to...

To summarize a very long story, my 2016 Model S P100D frequently has an inaccurate GPS location. This causes the car to think it's a few miles away from its actual location. That causes navigation to not work because it gives me directions starting from a place miles away from my actual...

I know it used to be a common code entered on the "secret T" screen but they changed it. Is it now locked to a vehicle's VIN? Does it change every day? Every hour? I'm a nerd and like statistics. Wondering if there's any way to enable it.

Every time I turn on the car the music player is open at the button of the screen. Is it possible to turn that off?

I live in a high rise and park three stories underground every night. At least once every week, my drive to work shows the car on the nav map as being about a mile west of my actual location. Always due west, which is weird. This causes huge problems with autopilot because the car will suddenly...

I have a 2016 P100D with Insane mode (not ludicrous). I called Tesla support and was told that even though it's a software config, they won't allow an upgrade. She checked around with multiple people trying to get a different answer, but sounds like there's no upgrade path. Such a bummer.

I emailed the guys at Calibred Customs Awesome guys, awesome job, awesome price. I have a Tesla P100D on which I wanted to have a dashcam installed. My criteria choosing an installer was three things, in order: 1) Quality of the install. I'm going to have this car for a while, it's a...

Hi all, I've listed Serenity, my 85D for sale because I've upgraded to a P100D. She's on AutoTrader for $78,999 but I'll take $1,000 off that price for forum members because this community has given me so much and I want her to go to a great home. I'm in Downtown San Diego. Tesla Model S...

Hi all, I've been looking for a P100D New Inventory car. I realized that the Tesla site only shows a subset of inventory. I found the AWESOME EV CPO consolidator, but also realized that the dealer has access to cars that aren't on that site either. I found a way to get access to ALL of the...

What do you think? I suspect we all know that more hardware will be required. Almost certainly more cameras, but perhaps lidar. I know Tesla doesn't have a great record of allowing hardware upgrades, but this is a biggie. I imagine a serious backlash if we get closer to autonomous and the...

I got sick of my sunglasses flying out of the storage under the main screen. And I got sick of my J1772 charger sitting in my cup holder. And I tired of carrying my stupid charging cards in my wallet. So I built a little carrier for that little storage area. Ignore the color - it's a...

Hi, I'm building something that needs 12v and I'd like to place it in the Frunk. I'm wondering if anyone knows a good place to hook into 12v before I go randomly pulling panels off my car :) Thanks! Ryan

Hi all, I'm working on two projects for my new 85D that I picked up a couple of weeks ago. The working name for this one is Project Cartesia. I'll update this thread as I build, launch, and maintain the project. Stay tuned :) For now, a small tease: Thanks, Ryan

The valet mode is pretty helpful. I gave my car to valet last week and wished I'd put it in valet mode. This also means the rest api can be updated :)

Hi all, My car is in the shop right now and I'm hoping someone can grab me a picture of a specific part of the car - I can't find a good picture online. I'm thinking about wrapping the chrome piece at the bottom of the doors that sits on top of the valance. I'm hoping to get a picture of the...

My 85D is in production now. I asked after the announcement if I could upgrade to the 90D. The sales guy said yes, but with the $500 penalty. I thought it would be cool to have the new tech, so told them to go ahead. Today I got a call from the sales manager at the Tesla store. She...

Hi all, My condo highrise has a gate that doesn't work with Homelink. I have a prototype solution that works for me and I'd like to make it available to other people. The thing is that it actually requires your existing remote to work. It essentially pushes the button on your original remote...

My car just went into production and I probably have one it two days to have it upgraded to the 90d battery pack. What's the consensus? Is 15 extra miles worth $3k? After there ANY other advantages to having the 90 pack? Better chance of a software upgrade? Cool badge? Etc?

I just got my Vin and saw the "Buy service options" thing pop up in MyTesla. Do I have to buy the service contract and extended warranty now? How long can I wait to decide on those? Thanks! Ryan

Woohoo! I finally pulled the trigger on the 85D! I'm so excited - it just moved to the production queue. My girl is: - Flat white - Pano Roof - 19" wheels (with staggered 20" Aristo Sport 5V monoblock in Matte Black on order) - Black next-gen seats - Matte Obeche wood - Black headliner -...

I was NOT expecting this. After a 24 hour test drive in the 70D yesterday, I put a deposit down and have a week to change things. The store asked me to also take the P85D and 85D for 24 hours each to make sure I really wanted the 70D. Those bastards! My impressions, focused on performance...

I put a deposit on a 70d yesterday and have 7 days to modify it before it gets locked in. I'm on the fence about upgrading to a P85D and today had a revelation - It's really only about an $8k cost difference! Tell me if you buy this line of thinking: If I purchase the P85D for $30k more than...
