    Elon at TED

He shows some great video pieces, including his "boring" solutions to LA's traffic mess. If you are interested in what is coming next, don't miss this talk which TED put up...

    Witnessed Tesla crash (pictures)- Collision Avoidance?

    Saw it seconds after it happened. Your description and the word AVOIDANCE makes it clear - it isn't Collision ELIMINATION.

    Witnessed Tesla crash (pictures)- Collision Avoidance?

    We were taking my wife's Mercedes into the dealer and literally in front of the dealership a beautiful Model S rear ends the Mercedes in front of the dealership. Was wondering why collision avoidance didn't prevent this. Shouldn't it that have kicked in? To add insult to injury ever Mercedes...

    Avoiding Quartzite Supercharger on I-10 to LA?

    Thanks Mike. We stopped there. Not as bad as the reviews I read on line. Was the only car there the entire time. Some sketchy types in the parking lot, but no biggie. First road trip in the Tsla...takes a little getting used to...especially if you have to be there at as stain time. APs...

    Currently at the supercharger in Buckeye headed towards LA. I've heard so many bad things about the quartzite supercharger that we are wondering if we charging Buckeye can we make it all the way to Indio. Anyone ever done this drive and know the answer?

    Rocking Seats

    There was a post I read a while ago about rocking in the Model x, where someone stated that their SC told them that the seats in the Model X were not designed to hold "larger customers." He actually asked the customer how much he weighed and the SC said the seats are only designed to...

    Rocking Seats

    Anyone else experiencing a seat that feels like it is not totally bolted down? The seats in my P90D have an awful lot of play in them, and they feel like they rock.

    Tire pressure issue - urgent

    We used to live in Naperville. I used t have the trouble all the time in winter with Mecedes, Porsche (both with performance tires) and Lexus and Land Rover. Finally someone suggested using nitrogen instead of air and the problem went away for good. Has anyone tried the in warm weather?

    Tire pressure issue - urgent

    Yes, they are from the sensors. Just checked with an old fashioned analog gauge and they are all at 40psi. Also did a reboot so we will see where we are.

    Tire pressure issue - urgent

    I have a two-month-old p90d. The other day when I picked it up after window tinting, the low tire pressure light was on. Since the tinter was around the corner from Tesla SC, I took it over, they added some air and said they would look at the logs. Called me the next day, and said that...

    Hidden costs behind the Model S ?

    Thanks for this post. However it is scaring me. I took delivery of my P90D a few weeks ago. It has the 21 inch wheels. I wish I had read this post earlier. Does anyone know f you can get tire replacement insurance. Had that coverage on a Mercedes, and it paid for itself. Swissmoneychf-I used...

    I went and visited cactus auto today was very impressed. I think I'm going to go with the photo sync except for the crystalline on the front. Pano roof? Rich suggested I wait. Any other thoughts?

    Confused on Tinting in AZ

    I was reading through the massive tint forum and came away more confused than ever. Tesla here is AZ recommends two different companies (Shane's and Supreme). One offers Huber Optics and Sun tint, the other Suntec CSP and DVB-IR. FIrst of all any Arizonian's have any experience with these...

    Model S - Sunshade Solutions

    Living in Arizona this time of year makes for very hot car interiors. I have tried several different sunshades that are available, but the narrow visors and position of the mirror make installing them nearly impossible. I have looked on-line and see there are several claiming they are designed...

    Almost Got Hit While on Autopilot Today

    This is my biggest complaint about my P90D. I find the blind spot detection almost useless. I would have paid extra to have a warning system similar to that in my previous Mercedes. It was flawless. To me, it seems like old technology that is now available on most cars. Can't figure out why...

    Question about performance in hot weather

    I live in Arizona, and this past week has been hot (over 100 degrees every day). Yesterday I had the car (P90D) in the driveway while doing some work in my garage. A fan kept turning on and off in the car, even though the car was locked. Is this cooling the battery? Is it something that I...

    EZ-Pass transponder mounting on refreshed nosecone-less Model S

    I live in a gated community that uses transponders to open them. I have a P90D refreshed model. So far the only solution I have is opening the sunroof and holding the darn thing in the air. I share your interest in an answer to this one.

    Newbie here. Trying to find out how updates work. I received notification that there was an update tonight. I can't seem to find anywhere were it tells me what is being changed? Is there a difference between updates and software upgrade? Thanks

    Took Delivery of our second Tesla this week - WOW!

    It is indeed a small world. Hope all is well in yours. I miss it there. The small on lacks autopilot and ludicrous speed. However,it has two speeds 4 and 8 mph. A charger that looks like the real thing. A horn that sounds identical to my p90, an audio input and speaker, folding mirrors and a...

    Feeling a bit Squeamish

    Trying to figure out amperage

    My P90DL will be delivered Monday. I love everything about the vehicle, but find the amps confusing. My electrician came today and said h could put in an 80 amp circuit which I will have him hook up to a Tesla charging station. Am I overamping? Since I did not buy the dual charger, does 80...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    My patience has been tried too. Based on what I read here about delivery dates changing, I emailed my DS and he called me yesterday. He said not to worry, my car was on target for "late May/June" which has been showing up on my MyTesla page since I got the confirmation. Today I checked...

    Autopark / Summon - How it works?

    Long term parking without charging

    I am sometimes in a position where I need to park my car for a couple of weeks, and it may be in locations where I do not have access to a charger (parking garage, etc). Can anyone tell me does the battery slowly drain down, so when I return, the car may be depleted. As someone who is new to...

    Valet

    I am waiting on my delivery and thinking through questions. I tend to travel to a lot of locations where valet parking is the norm. I know the car has valet mode (which I have dubbed Ferris Beulher mode). Does anyone have any guidelines to give a valet if they are unfamiliar with the car...

    Insurance and Ludicrous Speed

    Does anyone have any perspective on how ludicrous mode impacts your insurance. I ordered my car with it, but had a concerning call from my agent today. I have had fast cars before, but the way the question was asked I am worried if I am in for some kind of shock. I should know in a day or...
