Berkeley is crawling with Teslas. There are at least 4 within walking distance from my house, parked where you can see them. There's a section of Spruce St. that used to have a late-model Bentley parked amidst the 70s Volvo wagons. Berkeley is very diverse and most of us have learned how to...

I'm on an early schedule, so tend to be asleep (and of course awake) earlier than most. My lovely wife has added checking that the S is plugged in to her routine checking that the home doors are closed and locked before she goes to sleep. I encourage her to take the space ship out whenever I can...

If you're not careful, you can learn something new every day. Thanks! Tesla should buy out my Google options and hire me to fix their broken UI and when I'm done, let me retire on a steelhead river someplace.

Unrelated to the topic of this article, the screen shot at the top displays the pressure of each tire. Tesla issues thorough response following harsh critique of Autopilot by German authorities Any idea how to get this to display? I did not find it in the User's Guide.

This is why I have a mount for a cell phone below the rear-view mirror, so I can use Google Maps to navigate, with offline maps for free. I use the Tesla screen for Waze.

Wish my appliances had a feature to set up and then run at a set time.

$30 for 2 -- I shared an order with a coworker.

The interesting thing about EV-A if you have solar with PG&E, is that ideally you can contribute to the grid for credit at $0.44/kWh during the day/afternoon and then charge your car after 11p at c. $0.12/kWh. Of course, that's the most extreme example, but it's still worth considering. "Prime"...

Hm. No, I just rested it over the edge where the headliner ends in my July 2016 S. There is a gap above the headliner and the pano roof I can fit my hand pretty far into all along there. I wonder if I hung the hook in the wrong spot. Oh, well: not the end of the world. With luck the service...

I'm also hoping for better USB support, since it's the only way to get CD-quality audio into the sound system. And I'm hoping they'll also add more robust support for larger USB devices -- I have an SSD with all my music that I plugged in to the USB port and froze my screens. Now I don't dare go...

Thanks for the good wishes, but nope: Installed correctly: reached in to hand suit: hangar popped up and away into deepest recesses. Oh well.

I was delighted when my black EVhooks came. Split the cost with a coworker who wanted one also (they only come in pairs). Second time I tried to use it, I pushed up on the hook accidentally and it popped off and up and rattled down someplace where I can't reach in the headliner. Added this to my...

I had two freezes last week when stopped at a light and tried to browse to electrek.co -- enjoyed the irony.

When I called Tesla about this yesterday, they told me that it was TuneIn refusing to allow "third-party apps" to sign in.

I get that. The question I have is, if I'm generating (say) 4 or 8 kWh more than consumption during the day (net my advantage), when rates area high, how will that offset my much larger use of kWh at the dead of night to charge the car, at cheap consumption hours?

I just switched to EV-A and will gather data for a month or two. I also have solar panels. I wrote to PG&E and still don't understand their response: anyone have a clear notion of how you get credited to power back to the grid in EV-A? Is it 1:1 to the cost if your were consuming at that time of...

Putting my tall family in the back seat revealed the need for the pano roof

When I picked up my S they told me using Bioweapon mode would use up the filter faster. (I asked before I realized the noise it makes -- now we use it only when passing through smoke, etc.) I don't know what to make of this advice, frankly: the consensus about air always passing through it makes...

I also have both Android and iPhone versions. I have to kill the Android version after each use to get it to connect. "Otherwise" it works fine.

I wonder why the Tesla site doesn't draw more attention to this - or perhaps I just missed it.

Oh, thanks for that. I'll cross it off my list!

I haven't had overshoot issues, though some hesitation when it should be clear -- but I can certainly live with that. Anyone have to manually turn off the blinker after the lane change? I have to every time. It's on my dozen-or-so-long list of little things for my first SC visit.

I've had my S60 for about a month. This weekend it started offering to park for me. Does a very nice job and enormously amused my teenager. Win-win.

In the same situation. I'm curious whether there's any effect on battery life, to do it sooner or in (say) a year or two.

If I connect large storage to the USB port (a FAT-formatted SSD) it pretty reliably freezes the touchscreen, requiring a "reboot." The first time this happened was when I realized I'm not so much a "driver" of my car as a "test pilot."
