    How to remove b-pillar trim?

    Hi, yes. In the end I was wrong, there was a problem with the rear passenger door-card. A quick visit to the SC solved it.

    Owners delivery stories, photos and first impressions

    If I understand correctly you can totally do that. I think you hold down the relevant wheel and then you get to choose. Personally I like the audio on the left and the live power usage on the right.

    Tesla Referral Program

    I convinced some of my friends to buy a Tesla and then they used my code. Sorry if that sounds a bit blunt but how else did you think it would work? I guess if you happen to help someone on a forum they might use your code but then there are plenty on here to choose from.

    Horrible Autopilot Nags

    I've never had a nag and I've done a few 100+ mile trips. Maybe it's a question of technique, I hold the wheel at about 4 o'clock with my elbow resting on the door (RHD car).

    How I Eliminated A Rattle and Squeak

    I have a rattle/buzzing noise that I thought was coming from within the b-pillar but which seems to go away if I lower the rear window. Maybe it's somehow related to the door handle, I'll certainly experiment further as I'd like to give the SC the best possible chance of fixing it.

    Data sharing for autopilot is NOT activated by default in autopilot

    I just found this on my UK car too. Enabled. PSA: Data sharing for Tesla Autopilot is off by default for European owners with the software update v8.0

    How to remove b-pillar trim?

    My car is now 1 week old and is perfect except for an intermittent rattle in the drivers side (RHD) b-pillar. I have a set of trim removal tools so I wondered how easy it would be to pop off the cover to investigate. Are there any guides to its removal? BTW I thought this might be the known...

    New EU Charge Port

    Not sure if this news but I haven't seen any mention or pics yet. I picked up my car this morning and it looks like the charge-port for the EU (or UK at least) has changed. It's now illuminated, similar to the US port but not all the way around. I think previously there were LEDs in the tail light.

    Will the Model S fit in my garage?

    If it's any consolation my (UK) garage is 210cm wide at the door. Less than 83 inches. Currently my plan is to fit the garage with some mirrors to allow me to drive in and out with the car's mirrors folded. I might also make an artificial curb out of wood to prevent me getting too close to the...

    Unintended acceleration and cruise control

    I've never heard of a cruise system where using the accelerator causes it to disengage. I use this behaviour all of the time to overtake and then drop back to the set speed.

    Ready to join but should I wait for AP2?

    I had a similar dilemma, but given how little reliable information there is out there about AP2 and the fact that some other innovation will inevitably follow I just went for it.

    Tesla Wall Connector - how much clearance needed?

    That's good to hear, thanks. After doing some measurements I think it'll be fine but I'll get the longer lead on the wall charger just in case.

    Tesla Wall Connector - how much clearance needed?

    Thanks that's useful. The problem in the UK is that charging socket is on the opposite side to the driver's door. I can have clearance on one side but not both. I suppose if I summon every time I don't need access to the driver's door...

    Tesla Wall Connector - how much clearance needed?

    Thanks, the concern is more the connector itself and how much room is needed to physically manoeuvre it into the socket on the car.

    Tesla Wall Connector - how much clearance needed?

    I'm looking at getting the Wall Connector installed in my garage but I'm concerned about how much clearance the actual connector needs as the garage is quite narrow. What I'd ideally like to know is how close can the car be to a wall and still have space to connect/disconnect the wall-connector...

    New joiner from the UK

    After following Tesla (and SpaceX) for some time I finally placed my order last week. The tipping point for me was a trip to the Bluewater shopping centre ('Mall') and the Tesla store therein. Firstly I was impressed by the looks of the face-lifted car and by the staff members there who were...
