    85D Discontinued

    How is improving technology being inconsiderate to owners? Alternatively, how are decreases in the cost of battery technology now versus some point in the past surprising to you or somehow a disservice to you as an owner? I don't follow that logic. You acknowledge that you had an opportunity to...

    Car Insurance

    I got a Geico quote for $445 for 6 months and AAA quoted me $620 for 6 months. I also spoke with Farmer's and Progressive but both of them were about $1000/6mo.

    Center console now standard

    I'm taking delivery in Fremont on Saturday too! Confirmed on March 14th. What delivery time did you schedule? I'm at 11AM. I'm not expecting the console but know that I'll have the new Slipstream wheels.

    Why does there seem to be so many salvaged cars?

    I got gap insurance from my bank when I was arranging financing, it only cost a 1-time $350 charge and it covers any difference between what I owe and what the insurance company pays out in the event of a total loss.

    Autopilot's last weak spot: driving into the sun on the freeway

    On surface streets I was surprised to find that AP would switch to tracking the car ahead of me and follow it when the lane lines disappeared (highlighted it in blue and moved where it went), does it only do this at low speeds? I've never seen it happen at freeway speeds.

    2016 Model S Refresh Mega-thread

    I have a car in production right now. I wasn't going to get a 100D even if it were available and the center console is too minor of a change to bother me. There will always be something just over the horizon or just around the corner. Now, if they do AP 2.0 hardware and/or a facelift on the...

    Fell asleep using Autopilot - admission from a Model S owner

    The few times I've taken longer drives with AP when tired I find that I actually stay alert longer than if I was actively doing all of the driving (like in my ICE). I always thought this was due to being able to conserve what attention and mental energy I had left, using AP is less tiring than...

    Did I make a mistake by ordering 21 inch wheels?

    New tires won't be covered by Tesla.

    Anyone have the side windows heatshield sun shades?

    Has anyone tested the shades that Tesla offers in comparison with the Heatshield ones offered by EVAnnex and other places? I'm curious if one is more effective than the other, or easier to use.

    Front Console Showing on Tesla

    I wonder if the center console applies to cars currently in production (notified on Friday in my case)? Probably not, but I can hope...maybe a call to my DS is in order?

    What insurance to go for?

    AAA quoted me $1220/yr, Geico was a bit cheaper at $990/yr, but I'll probably stick with AAA as I've had very good experiences with making claims with them.

    used p85/p85+ vs used 70D

    I put a lot of value on AP and the dual motors for driving my family around, so I went with a new 70D rather than a CPO P85

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Seems like a hard push to deliver by the end of the quarter. Ordered: March 12 Confirmed: March 14 VIN: March 14 Then yesterday I got a call from my DS wanting to confirm I would be available to take delivery by the end of the month. While I love the fast turn-around I'm hoping there aren't any...

    Which one would you choose ?

    Personally, I'd go for the newer model because mileage seems to matter less on these cars in terms of wear and tear due to fewer moving parts.

    Any owners with big dogs?

    Thanks for the reply and for the links, I had done a search of the forums but only for 'dog' not 'dogs'. :)

    Any owners with big dogs?

    We will be in the market for a new vehicle soon (currently driving a Volvo V50) and would love to go with a Tesla. One concern that we have is the ease of transporting a large dog. We like going for family hikes and road trips but, with 2 car seats in the back, I think that our dog would have to...
