    Supercharger - Parsippany, NJ

    I went to look at the site for the Parsippany Supercharger and found nothing there. Spoke to the employees and they said that they added diesel and that took the space a supercharger would have. Called town hall in Parsippany and they said no permit has been applied for by Tesla to build a...

    Sudden Unintended Acceleration

    I had sudden acceleration once in a parking lot but it didn't cause an accident because I caught it quick. The cause was accidentally engaging the cruise control because the control for that is right next to the directional and it can be accidentally triggered. A bigger problem I have is...

    Why Tesla Will Fail

    Model S 90D owner for 18 months. I love my car! I've had a number of problems with a mixed bag of service experiences: Three times I had the car in because the driver's window didn't fit right and there was wind noise. First time they replaced the glass, next two times they adjusted the...

    SCTY Acquisition makes no strategic, financial or operational sense!

    What Tesla is trying to do, become a successful large scale car company with a $35k electric car is as close to impossible as I can imagine. However, I bought Tesla stock anyway because I thought that if anyone could pull it off, EM could. Now adding the mess of Solar City? It's not a...

    Storage for Model S

    Unfortunately I'm a packrat when I take roadtrips. I loved the yacht floor, unfortunately I just got my Tesla so it has the not very useful mega cup holder thingy. Unfortunately most the discussions on storage in here relate to putting something where the yacht floor was and that's no longer...

    Storage for Model S

    I didn't really think about storage when I recently bought my Model S last week but now I'm trying to move all my stuff from my old car to the new and there's darn few places to store things within the driver's reach. Actually amazing to me that they haven't put in at least door pockets or a...

    90D Delivery today @ 1600, garage is ready!

    Congratulations! Owned my Model S for five days now and I'm really loving it. Took me two days to get up the nerve to pull it into my barn because of the very tight clearance, be so much nicer to have your wide and clean layout. Best of luck.

    Summon / auto park in garage questions

    You have a lot of ideas here to experiment with. The grade is the same 20' from the garage as it is at the garage and autopark seems to start up fine so that seems to rule out grade. Except the Tesla support guy still thinks grade. The lip is certainly an issue but can be shimmed or removed...

    Summon / auto park in garage questions

    I love the redskins foam finger to absorb a crash! I've been backing the car into the narrow garage myself when it needs a charge and have been able to do that slowly and safely with less stress as I gain experience. Getting a couple truckloads of gravel this week so raising the driveway...

    Summon / auto park in garage questions

    I received my new Model S two days ago and when I got home I discovered that it is as wide as my Ford F150 truck. Therefore it's very difficult to get into my garage which is really a bay in my 200 yr old barn. Because of the aerodynamic rounding of the body I cannot see the front or rear...

    Center Console Failure

    I had not yet learned to activate auto pilot when this occurred so no, AP was not on. I have a theory on what might have happened though and intent to revisit the spot today to see if it happens again. The road goes downhill to the turn for Panera and I was probably using regen to slow down...

    Center Console Failure

    I picked up my new Tesla Model S90D on Wednesday 6/15 and at noon Thursday 6/16 the big screen was dark when I got in the car. It would occasionally flash but that's it. I followed the reset procedures for the center screen and it did restart. I am surprised that the center screen failed so...

    What should my ideal charge percentage be?

    With a 90d you can get 145 miles range at 50% charge which is a lot for most my needs and this would best best for the battery. It makes me wonder what the battery life is on a Nissan Leaf with 80 miles range cause if I owned that I'd always want 100% charge just for the 80 miles.

    This obsession has taken over my life. I may need to be booked into the looney house.

    I'd heard about the Model 3 announcement coming and was excited but not committed. It took me 4 days after the announcement to finally reserve a Model 3. Then the insanity began! I kept reading stuff about Tesla and thinking about the 2 yr wait and finally made an appointment to test drive a...
