    Does anyone have information on whether the new stamping machine is operational in Fremont and if so, what is the VIN where production starts with said machine? Edit: I suppose I should've called it a casting machine... :D

    Fiat 500e and Chevy Volt / Prius on Maui

    Hi Neither of these cars are present in Maui, HI and since we're planning to move there, we'd like to take them to the island with us to drive for less and be environmentally friendly. Considering they're more complicated machines than an ICE Toyota Highlander, would anyone have any...

    Roof rack for Model S (Whispbar) for sale

    Used twice on my 2016 S75 with Pano roof. Not sure about compatibility, but I don't think it is compatible with the 'first-gen' pano roof back in 2013 or so. Buyer should make sure that the item fits their car as I don't accept returns. Used three times to transport boxes when moving homes, got...

    Door handle light too deep

    Hi I've raised this problem with 2 separate SC's (Sunnyvale and San Rafael) and they've both said it is what it is and apparently my car matches other MS cars. The problem is that some of my door handles sit too deep, therefore the ambient projecting light is not visible anywhere on the car or...

    Supercharger temp closure yet fully operative

    Just visiting the Napa CA supercharger which says temp closure on the MCU map yet charges at 70kW. Stuff like this is more than annoying and it certain circumstances can really mess up a road trip...

    MCU unresponsive after parking in the heat

    We recently went for a hike which involved parking in a lot with no shade. Sun was reasonably strong but ambient temp was in the 70-80s. When we came back from the ~2 hour hike and got in the car, the cluster gauge was on but the MCU was black and hot to the touch. No matter what reset I tried...

    Solar panel sizing?

    Hi I just had a Solarcity person visit me for initial consultation. We moved into a brand new home a month ago and I'm keen to get solar on the roof. This is what I'm working with: Baseline consumption about 6-8kWh / day Extras that are not calculated in baseline: New hot tub - max 2-3 kWh /...

    Unexpected acceleration while braking

    I know most of you will doubt what I'm going to share here. I was in San Jose, getting off the freeway, taking a left light turn from the offramp and then was doing about 25-30mph when I got to an intersection that had stopped traffic on the opposite side (cruise and autopilot was off). I had a...

    Look what I found in the nearby Tesla parking lot

    We have a secret or not so secret workshop nearby and I usually drive around to see what they have in the parking lot. Well this time, I was in for a treat... Coast to coast rally huh? ;)

    New S60 battery degradation thoughts

    IF and only IF the current S60 (75 limited to 60) batteries degrade, does Tesla have a contractual or goodwill reason to avoid this degradation? See technically, since the 60 is a 75 battery, there is no reason that the 60 capacity should start losing any miles before it lost almost 15kWh down...

    Leaf 2016 for $13k - mistake?

    Hi I'm entertaining myself by looking at EVs from time to time. As it happens, my fiance will need a new car and I'm eyeing Leafs mostly for her. I found this car today: http://www.nissanofsanjose.com/vehicle-details/used-2016-nissan-leaf-sv-1N4AZ0CP4GC303946 Is this a huge mistake..? I mean...

    S60 -> S75 upgrade price reduction

    Might not be news for everyone but I just logged in to My Tesla and see the upgrade went from $9k to $7k: Interesting. I would've thought they would never touch the price as it would make people who purchased at high price pretty pissed off. Either way, it's still not worthwhile for me to...

    Autopilot and TACC off, Model S corrected turn to avoid barrier

    The other day I was driving up to Tahoe on a 2-lane 65mph twisty freeway and in a right turn, I changed lanes from right to left lane. This meant that I was 'drifting' towards the middle barrier and I must've gone a little closer than the car liked because it pulled the steering into the corner...

    Brand new Model S quality issues take months to resolve

    Hi I've taken delivery of a MS on June 30th, 2016 in Fremont, CA. At delivery, we have noticed many quality issues and have documented them carefully. The list was extensive and I've submitted this list to the delivery staff and later on to the service center in Sunnyvale, CA. As soon as I...
