I need to purchase the ESA by the end of the month or get X-Care and I'm curious what people's experiences have been with X-Care and with any claims they have had.

Hey everyone, I've kinda been off the forum lately due to being really busy, but I've met various people and had emails and PMs about my opinions and also heard some of my posts helped people make decisions about upgrading (sorry to your spouses for that :). I wanted to share my opinion on...

Hi everyone! I mentioned this in another thread and right now this is more of a serious feeler on participation. I contacted Sonoma raceway about renting the drag strip for a Saturday or Sunday and they told me we would have to rent the whole facility because the drag strip crosses the road...

Shot in the dark given the size of the school, but I'm in VT for my 15yr reunion at Vermont Academy and if any members are at the reunion I'd love to meet and chat.

You'll have to excuse me if this comes across as sappy. I'm traveling right now and it gives me more time to think about things... I also miss the crap out of my car driving this Altima (sad panda taking 2.8 months to accelerate to 60mph). As many of you know I got my car on my 33rd birthday...

Maybe this belongs in site feedback, but it was more specific to the Model S. There was a Model 3 thread where someone mentioned that once Tesla has huge mass production there are going to be a lot more people on the forums. That got me thinking that it will only increase common questions...

I got in my car this morning and I saw an error message that said "Touchscreen needs service" and that I should contact service. Has anyone seen this before? I rebooted the display and it went away. I'd really rather not have to make an appointment if this is something that happens time to time.

I am aware of some range loss and about balancing batteries, but this seems to be a separate issue. I have about 1700 miles on my P90D and it is about 3 weeks old. When I first got it, a balanced charge was 273mi and a 90% charge was 246mi. In the last week I've tried to charge to 100% a...

Holiday weekend in the U.S. and a great opportunity to give cars a bath. I found a really old thread with pictures of detailed cars, but instead of reviving a thread that hasn't been updated in years I thought maybe we'd just start a new one. Post pictures of your Model S after giving it a...

As mentioned in my charging data thread, I took the car out last night to see what kind of range I could get. Parameters: - TACC set to 65mph - Range Mode off - Tires @ 48psi (based on the previous night) - 21" wheels - Ludicrous mode on - Max Battery Power off - A/C set to 68F - 90%...

So around midnight I charged the car to 90%, went on a drive to get it down to 8% and then recorded all the data while doing a range charge at a supercharger. I had provided some of this before via photos, but there was another request to do <10% to >90% Here's the link to the graphs. I could...

I thought I'd go ahead and spin off a new thread for the power and performance data. I went out tonight, charged to 100% and did some testing. Max power I was able to get was 457KW, which is 1KW higher than the other night. I can provide the CSV of the data to anyone that wants to analyze...

Has anyone seen this before? I was doing a range charge and when I got back in I saw this going crazy. I turned off the A/C and it kept going, but when I turned the A/C back on it leveled out to 12A. The dash was actually showing the numbers fluctuate even faster.

So the one time I don't launch at a light and I get hit. It was going to happen... I was pissed... I yelled... he understood... exchanged information... talked about the car... and then I BLEW HIS MIND WITH L-MODE! So I can't complain too much. He was a car guy, nice, felt bad, and he enjoyed...

Here's the article Aston Martin CEO Calls Out Tesla's Ludicrous Mode and Dismisses it as "Stupid" - autoevolution Eh. It will be interesting to see what they can come up with. It isn't like L-mode is like nitrous and you only get X seconds of fun and you're done, or that the car can't corner. I...

I have the afternoon free and people want reaction videos... so if you live in the Bay Area and want to play with Ludicrous mode this afternoon let me know. Not sure how I'll mount the GoPro yet, but we can figure something out.

Today is my 33rd birthday, and Tesla was kind enough to deliver my beautiful car to me at 11am this morning. Weighing in at 4647 lb and 4 oz, she is healthy, but has yet to be named. P90D, midnight silver, pano, 21" grey turbines, black next-gen seats, CF décor and spoiler, black alcantara...
