    Tesla makes new Model S's but can't supply parts for the ones it has already sold

    This is a warning to anyone that plans on buying a new Model S or possibly any Tesla. If your car breaks, you may not be given priority to fix your car over shipping a new car from the factory. Case in point: I have a new Plaid that we purchased at the end of June. Shortly after purchase...

    Plaid Safety

    I have been driving the new plaid for about 2 months now and for the first time, I took it on a road trip. Austin to Dallas and back. The car is comfortable and super quiet. Its range compared to our old P90D and P100D model X is nice. Its turbine-like acceleration is addictive. I stopped in...

    An honest review of the yoke

    Update after three weeks: I still find myself looking down at the yoke to see where the button is when I turn because the buttons have a hair trigger. They are a terrible solution, especially for something that you need to select by feel, ideally. There is a little raised divider that I assume...

    Yoke Steering

    Do you have issues with the left and right activation of the scroll wheels? I find that the center of the wheel is too small in diameter, causing me to have to press down to get enough grip on the wheel to push it laterally. This extra pressure from the side also causes unintended activation of...

    An honest review of the yoke

    Having the Plaid for a week now, and I must say the yoke serves no useful purpose. I followed my nephew as he drove the car, and I could see him swing the car wide as he turned a corner, struggling with the yoke. But, unfortunately, I could also see him inadvertently hit the turn signals and...

    Plaid handling

    The new Plaid suspension feels remarkably better. In addition, ride compliance seems to be much more controlled. For example, speed bumps would cause our P90D to bounce and squeak, but the Plaid just seems to float over them with a solid feel and virtually silent. It's like the computer is...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I kept in contact with my local sales guy, asking him when I would get my car. After telling me to be patient, stating that the car would be built soon he blurted out that there were 2 available cars in Austin. One white, cream, wood with 21's. The other was silver, cream, CF with 21's. My order...

    New P90D owner interface questions

    As a new P90D owner I am a bit dismayed about the audio system.. The car has what is described as an "ultra high fidelity sound system" however there is no way to hook up an Iphone or Ipod (arguably the #1 music source in the world) outside of a bluetooth connection? Even with a bluetooth...
