    Vendor Now a Great Cup Holder for the S and X designed by an S owner.

    But this doesn't work with a refresh that comes with the center console, does it?

    Toll Tag

    If I'm not mistaken, the TXTag still doesn't charge for replacement tags. When I had an EZ tag, I had never bothered to install it in my car. I subsequently installed it in my then-new car, switched models and license plates. The TXTag has allowed me to do the same thing. I had an EZ tag in...

    Why the frunk shrunk?

    I've been surprised at how much I can put in the funk . . . and nothing ever falls over or slides around.

    Slow supercharging in hot weather?

    I was charging in Columbus on Saturday when the weather was in the mid 80s. I got up to 320 mph at times, but when I started, I only had 8% range left. It charged much faster than on Thursday evening when I was at about half range.

    UhOh

    Probably not what you want to hear, but the price to replace a fob has come way down. I lost mine (not sure how because I was able to drive my car . . . it was missing when I got out) a couple of weeks ago and paid $131 to get a new one and have the car reprogramed. Took about an hour and 15...

    Beware paying with personal check

    We will not do business with Wells Fargo either after we realized on a credit card payment, they did the debits and then the credits. Banking should process credits and then debits.

    To wrap-0r not to wrap

    I never thought I'd wrap my car either, but it has made it much easier to keep clean.

    Thanks. I'll probably just order the plain white one when I can my act together (and find my credit card) this afternoon (along with the other neat stuff).

    Model S - Window Tinting

    FWIW, I did my pano in 35, just like my back windows. My front side in 45 and the windshield in 75. With the external thermometer at 104 last weekend, I felt very little heat transfer at the pano. All photosynch. When I took it into the SC the other day, the advisor was impressed by the...

    Organizer options for new (facelifted S) center console?

    I don't think either of these are for the refreshed which come the the console and not the yacht floor.

    Tire pressure - Can I just use a gas station to add air?

    Hmmm. I have a door label with 45psi and 19" Goodyears. I was at the service center yesterday to get my key fob replaced and they inflated to 45.

    Tire pressure - Can I just use a gas station to add air?

    Kind of a tread-jack, but why PSI up to 100 and not up to 60? What is the advantage of the gauge with the rubber tubing? I would think that might deteriorate over time? I get that brass is way better. I hate replacing things (too much pressure to decide on new ones)--I like just getting one...

    Tesla will match Carmax price

    Before I had Tesla inspect my car, my DS told me they would probably match any written offer I could get. Texas Direct Auto (more convenient) and CarMax gave me the same price. Tesla was much lower. I had to get a second Texas Direct Auto quote because it has to be "live" at the time Tesla...

    Tire pressure - Can I just use a gas station to add air?

    I checked my refreshed with 19" slip stream & goodyear eagles and the doorframe had 45. I just looked this morning. I didn't look on the actual tire.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Tesla will fed ex you a temporary tag with paperwork for you to fill out and return to them. You can also get a temporary Texas tag. You used to be able to do it online, but the DMV was updating its site, so that was down last month. I got a 30-day tag (in addition to the temporary CA one)...

    Perpendicular Parking

    So, I finally figured out that when the P pops up on the dash, I get a screen that allows me to give my MS "permission" to autopark me. I routinely back my car into the garage (I realize very few women do this, but I realize now that you're usually more in a hurry to leave than to come home...

    Why does Tesla website trick people....

    Honestly, I've seen tons of car dealers who advertise cars at a certain price, only to find that there was only one at that price with that set of options. I've never seen TT&L included in the advertised price.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I will say that when my DS initially contacted me back in April after my confirmation date, she mentioned that there was going to be a "trial" of sending by rail (which would add about a week). As my date drew nearer, she confirmed that it would be by truck. I think it took about 5 days by...

    Uber pickup for Model S delivery

    My DS arranged for Uber to take my home after I dropped off my trade at the SC and arranged for Uber to pick me up to take me back to SC two weeks later when I did delivery. I didn't ask, I sort of hinted, and she offered. I did bring her a box of baked goodies when I picked up my car though.

    Trading a car in to Tesla

    Apparently, with oil prices so low, no one is interested in a hybrid of any kind. I thought it was ironic that I got only $200 more for my 2008 Camry Hybrid than I got for my 1997 Maxima (that wasn't fully loaded) drowned in 2007. Doesn't seem right, does it?

    Trading a car in to Tesla

    My DS told me they'd match any written offer I had. I had one from Texas Direct Auto and one from Car Max. They expired before I got the AIM appraisal on behalf of Tesla, but was again told that they'd match an open offer. Texas Direct Auto issued me a new offer. Tesla matched it. My DS...

    Incorrect payment accusations

    It seems that everyone ignored the languge that was on the MyTesla Page: "It’s easy to pay for your Model S using an online payment that safely and securely debits your checking or savings account. Need to make your payment from more than one account? Simply make multiple payments...

    Incorrect payment accusations

    Per the page, your obligation was to notify Tesla when you noticed the discrepancy. I'm pretty sure the page instructed you to do so. Mine did when it happened to me.

    Incorrect payment accusations

    I don't think it's a matter of entry error. When Tesla receives funds, it assumes its from the purchaser. If you finance any of it, it's reflected in the balances. When the funds are received from the financing company, it is simply credited as a purchaser payment and assumes it's from the...

    Incorrect payment accusations

    The same thing happened to me- the website said I had no balance. I laughed about it with my husband and saved the page. But if you read the page, it says to contact the DS or another phone number number if it is not correct. (I'd post the page with the language, but I'm on my tablet and I...

    Short Commute - Charge every 3 days?

    So far, I haven't been plugging in every night. My commute to work, round trip is 6 miles. If I also head to the gym, it's another 6 miles. In 3 weeks of driving, I've only put 400 miles in. (Yes, surprising considering I live in Houston.) Why don't I plug in every night? Because I'm often...

    Solid white or pearl white

    I was going to get the plain white. Husband said if I wanted white, I needed to get the pearl. I couldn't tell initially, but after paint correction and clear guard, I could really tell. I do like the sparkles. Of course, I like the sparkles in my metallic black F150 too.

    EZ Pass (TX) - Mounting on refreshed model

    The other hint I learned is to stick your EZ tag to a clear window cling (instead of the window itself). Then cling the EZ tag to the window. You can do this with your registration sticker too.

    EZ Pass (TX) - Mounting on refreshed model

    Do you have a refresh? That black box/area next to where the rear view mirror attaches to the glass is where you're supposed to put the transponder. The old glass created problems. If you search the threads, you'll see photos of people who have attached the transponders to the window (I don't...

    Houston, TX

    This must be a new policy change because asked bout it on the 25th (right dropping off up my car at EVS). I was handed a business card and told to call the number if I wanted them to move a car so I could charge. I wonder if it only applies on weekends. Guess I'll be driving my big truck to...

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

    It took me a while to understand it was supposed to go there. The DS kept saying "to the right of the base of the mirror" which I interpreted to mean "the bottom" of the mirror. Once I stared at the windshield, I realized by "base," she meant where the mirror attached to the windshield. I'm...
