On three occasions in the past six weeks, my Model S has come to an abrupt stop while backing up. There were no audio tones, and I did not observe any instrument panel messages. My initial impression was that the car had stopped to avoid contact with something behind, but each time, there was...

When my Model S was delivered last fall, the rear view camera seemed properly aligned. But recently I have noticed that when backing into a parking spot with camera looking square to curb, I get out to find car is not squarely in the space. The front driver's side corner is much closer to...

We just took our first road trip in the Model S 60. Went to Asheville, NC to see the Biltmore at Christmas. Wonderful display, and wonderful road trip. Lots of very smooth clear interstate to allow the AP to shine. (Even Gen 1 AP). We supercharged twice on the way out, once in Burlington...

Newbie question. What brings up the traffic cone symbol in top left corner of rear view camera display? I'm guessing the parking sensors are sensing picking up something but it isn't close enough to give range. Tapping it brings up overhead car display , but it doesn't show any sensing clouds

As a new owner (one month), I am still learning about my car. That, in itself is rather amazing, as every other car I have owned, I felt I knew in a matter of days. What has amazed me the most is what I have found on this forum. I am amused by the people who worry about the color of their...

I am somewhat amused at how many people think total autonomy is right around the corner. Some even seem to feel cheated because their Tesla isn't totally autonomous already. The nerve of Tesla to actually expect them to hold the steering wheel while driving within a few feet of drivers of...

I saw a post or two saying that people had had their homelinked garage door try to decapitate their Tesla. Ours is only a couple weeks old, and Homelink is working great. But now I am a little concerned. Is this an extremely rare situation, or do I need to be worried? As always, thanks in...

Noobie question here. My wife is a wee bit intimidated by our new MS. After two weeks, she has finally started to take it out on her own. Tonight she drove it home without me. When I arrived 45 minutes later I observed that though the car was unoccupied, all screens were on, music was playing...

Ok. I know I could have just emailed the delivery team about this, but I thought the responses here would be more entertaining. When we looked in our gift bag, we found four small button shaped items. They look uncomfortably similar to the material the bad Terminator guys are made of. They...

After reading all the comments about cars with multiple problems, I thought I was ready for anything. I was hoping that my instincts were right, and that people without problems probably don't post, and the unfortunate stories were anomalies, vs normal. But I wasn't expecting a pristine...

Picking up our new Model S 60 tomorrow! Planning first road trip to the Carolina coast next week. About 160 miles to destination. Could go by SuperCharger. But if we press through there are two destination chargers which look usable. One is 8kW, the other is 16kW. How long to recharge...

Ok, I'm a newbie. In fact, delivery in two days. One thing I don't quite understand is why the autopilot suite does not brake for stop signs and traffic lights. The cam should pick them up. The only theory I can come up with is a possible problem from such items oriented in a confusing way...

Seems like a pretty simple job for qualified electrician to do. Our box has room for new wiring, so I am wondering why I should pay 30% more to use the recommended installer. Anyone "go rogue" and regret it? As always thanks in advance to this responsive community.

I apologize, but I am "of a certain age". I have already posted this in the delivery forum. My question is what the total width of the Model S with doors open on both sides. I will take delivery this week, and want to make sure that I have made enough room in the garage to avoid dings when we...

I am wondering what the width of a MS is with doors open on both sides. We take delivery this Thursday! I sadly parted ways with my 1992 NSX today. But happy to see her going to a real knowledgable and enthusiastic new owner. We have recently downsized , but our garage still has too much...

Awaiting delivery of my RWD Model S. I was disappointed when I found out about the new mini frunk. Just curious as to why the change. Anyone out there in Tesla land know reasoning behind it? Fleet commonality?

I just got email yesterday saying that my MS has completed production. I have seen several posts theorizing that cars built in the past week may have new AP hardware, or at least accommodations for the hardware. Anyone have any info as to how long the production process takes. Just curious as...

Anxious, expecting MS owner to be. Due date Oct. I've seen several threads on third party apps. I have some already. What are your thoughts, experiences on the best to have? Thanks

We have a Model S on order. Expecting delivery in Oct. Studying up all I can on the forums, but one question I haven't seen asked is have you ever run out of battery while on the road. Could be due to bad planning, bad weather, traffic, whatever. Just curious how often this has occurred. We...

Our MS order just got confirmed. We have the adjustable suspension in the package, because we have a rather steep driveway, and I have hit too many parking lot curb bumpers in low cars before. I know that I can program the car to raise as the speed decreases. But I found a thread saying that...

Time is running out for free changes, and we are a little concerned how the white liner will look with the PUP as we now have designed. Would appreciate any input from owners who have that combo. BTW, body will be the Midnight Silver Metallic. Thanks in advance

We just ordered our Model S, and I have been scouring the manuals and forums here. I have seen a few references to third party apps for iPhone/Apple Watch. Anyone have any input on these as compared to the Tesla App? Thanks

we have 3 days to go before our MS gets locked in. To avoid late change costs, I have one question regarding suspension option that I haven't seen addressed. Has anyone changed from low setting to std during cruise to see what effect it has on range. It should increase drag to do so, but I...

Ok guys. Looking for deals on the Tesla website and I saw a Model S listing YFFC as a feature. Excuse my ignorance, but what is that? Thanks

I don't know how accurate it was, but after the latest AP blamed accident, I saw a google street view of the area and it appeared to be a secondary, two lane road. It seems the AP is getting a lot of bad press when being blamed for accidents when it isn't being used as directed by Tesla. I...
