    Tesla is overpriced?

    Just paid $1100 for an A service (fancy name for an oil change) plus spark plugs and engine air filter for my wife's 2015 ML 350. DAMN!!! So far only $600 for 12k service on my MS with 24k miles in 1 year. The Benz is getting replaced by another Tesla!

    Following distance

    I drive with AP on for 90%+ of my drive every day. Since the last 2 updates in January, it feels like the following distance has increased quite a bit. I used to keep the following distance at 2 or 3 car lengths but now I am firmly at 1 car length and even then it seems far off enough from the...

    AP in heavy rain

    The SF Bay Area was hit by a heavy winter rain storm yesterday and I had the pleasure of driving through it on my way home. I was leery of using my AP 1.0 but after about 15 minutes of stop and go annoyance, decided to turn it on. Much to my pleasant surprise, despite the high winds and heavy...

    Have you used SJC EV Parking?

    I fly a lot out of SJC and was wondering if anyone has used the dedicated EV parking in lot 5 next to terminal 2. Are the spaces always full and are they wide enough for a Model S? Any other safe parking options around SJC? Thanks in advance!

    AP Complacency

    I have been using AP every time I drive my car for the past 6 weeks since I took delivery. My daily drive is at least 100 miles of mostly freeway drudgery which my MS has enhanced tremendously...AP being a major contributor of the same. Recently I noticed that I subconsciously drive ALL the time...

    Real Life Experience with Xpel?

    I drive about 100 miles in my new MS every day and want to protect it from rock chips etc on the freeway. I see that many owners have Xpel applied on their cars. Before I plunk down the serious $ needed to wrap my car, I would love some insight on pros and cons, life of the product before...

    CA drivers using PG&E's EV rates?

    I called PG&E to switch to their EV-A rate plan to take advantage of their off peak rates to charge my MS. There is a significant difference in the rates and the switch will have zero to little effect on our overall household usage patterns other than the MS set to charge between 11 PM and 7 AM...

    Silver Dream is home...lame delivery experience

    I finally took delivery today of my Silver Dream! Could not stop grinning all the way home! My wife noticed an unclipped plastic piece under the front bumper which was taken care of asap before we left with our car. The factory store is having a "tent sale event" so the place was a little crazy...

    Radar Detectors

    What is the preferred brand among TMC users? Any creative mounting methods? I love my Valentine One but it needs power and I don't want a cord over my touchscreen. I also have a cordless Escort S3 but prefer the V1 Any "interference" or false alerts because of the car's radar? Thanks

    Front License Plate Delete?

    I have never had a front license plate installed on any of my cars (yes, I know it is the law in CA). I emailed my DS to ensure that the front license plate was NOT installed on my Model S. He replied that "they had to deliver the MS with the front license plate frame installed as it had been...

    Auto Pilot vs. lane sharing motorcycles

    I have my 2016 MS on order with AP etc due to deliver in a few weeks. I can't wait to use the auto steer on my stop and go traffic commute in the car pool lane! Since I am in CA, lane sharing is legal and there is a steady stream of motorcycles filtering between lane#1 and Lane #2 requiring lane...
