    Hurricane Irma

    We just received word from our nephew stationed at Kings Bay Naval Base north of Jacksonville FL, that the base will begin evacuating tomorrow morning at 0800. He and a dozen other Marines, wives, girlfriends, children and pets are heading to our house. We live near Athens GA, about 50 miles...

    My Tesla will drive me autonomously to the 2045 total solar eclipse in the US

    Mind if I tag along? I'll only be 81 :)

    Model S Vibration at Highway Speed's Above 70 Miles an Hour Finally Fixed!

    I believe applying foam was a stop-gap fix. Replacing GRILLE COVER UPR, FR FASCIA MS2 with Part # 1057847-00-E is a permanent fix.

    Model S Vibration at Highway Speed's Above 70 Miles an Hour Finally Fixed!

    Not certain exactly when the new part went into effect but it had to be fairly recently since my service center didn't know about it until a few weeks ago.

    Model S Vibration at Highway Speed's Above 70 Miles an Hour Finally Fixed!

    The problem with my Model S was not related to lane departure warning. I'm familiar with how lane departure works and the feeling you get on the steering well. The vibration I experienced was caused by the 2nd generation radiator ducting as indicated in the service notes I posted.

    Model S Vibration at Highway Speed's Above 70 Miles an Hour Finally Fixed!

    Recommend installing an updated radiator ducting to reduce the chance of vibrations at highway speed. Corrections: Fascia Assembly - Front - 2nd Generation Removed front fascia assembly. Removed and installed updated upper grill cover. Test drove vehicle at speed limit to confirm vibration is...

    Model S Vibration at Highway Speed's Above 70 Miles an Hour Finally Fixed!

    I took delivery of my Model S on December 29, 2016. Sometime around mid-February, I noticed a severe vibration at speeds above 70 miles an hour that would become more pronounced the faster I went. You could feel this vibration through the steering wheel and even through the seats of the car...

    Owners delivery stories, photos and first impressions

    I took delivery on December 30th at the Decatur Georgia showroom. The delivery was very smooth. The staff were delivering 17 cars that day. There must've been 40 cars on the lot. The DS that helped me was very thorough. She spent about an hour going over virtually every aspect of the car and...

    Owners delivery stories, photos and first impressions

    It's about 48 hours until my rescheduled delivery. I emailed and called my DS yesterday to get a status update as to whether or not the car had arrived in Decatur(Atlanta). No response so far which is probably not a good thing. It's now been four weeks since the car shipped.

    Tesla's logistics strikes again. Received a call late yesterday afternoon from my DS informing me there would be no delivery this morning. The car is still in transit and has not even reached the distribution hub in Birmingham yet. When pressed he admitted they had no idea where the car actually...

    Owners delivery stories, photos and first impressions

    I didnt realize there was an Avalon store. We could've gone to Buckhead or Decatur since both are about the same distance from Athens. Decatur had the first available test drive appointment. That was the only factor in doing business with the store versus Buckhead. The experience was okay but...

    Just about 48 hours out from my delivery appointment. Based on what I've read here and my experience thus far in dealing with the people at the local Decatur Georgia showroom my expectations are fairly low. I'll do my best to document the delivery experience.

    How Tesla Charges Idle Fees?

    I'm fascinated how some people don't care how they come across in the forums. You might be a narcissist if: 1. You have an obvious self-focus during interpersonal exchanges. 2. You lack the ability to view the world from the perspective of other people. 3. You have difficulty with empathy...

    How Tesla Charges Idle Fees?

    Green1 may have a point. Tesla may not be able to charge him and/or he simply wouldn't legally be required to pay. Perhaps Tesla needs to have an alternate incentive system in place for people like green1. Automatic towing after 15, 20 or 30 minutes to a local storage yard might do the trick...

    I received a call at 9 PM last night from my DS. He confirmed my MS is in transit via train from Richmond CA to Birmingham Alabama. From Birmingham, it will be transferred to a car carrier for the final 120-mile leg to the Decatur GA(Atlanta) store. My delivery appointment is scheduled for...

    Upset with lack of features on Hardware 2.0

    I really don't see anything derogatory except your original posting. You're complaining about the availability of features that are well-documented not to be currently available with your version of AP. I guess some people don't have enough time in their busy lives to do even a minimal amount...

    Upset with lack of features on Hardware 2.0

    I'm a bit perplexed. This has to be a joke right or is the poster seriously saying he's never read anything from Tesla or any other source about the availability of AP 2.0 software and certain related features? Even if he hadn't his DS would have surely explained this to him at delivery.

    I'm from Georgia also. My car went into production on 11/11. It was finally completed this past Friday,12/2. Thats 3 full week in production. My DS sent me an email saying he believes it was a website glitch and the car wasn't actually in production that entire time. Supposedly it's in...

    How do you plan to drive your Tesla?

    This is in a long term private parking garage with 50+ EV spaces. From what I've heard availability is normally not an issue. My trips are normally 2 to 3 days. Sometimes up to a week.

    How do you plan to drive your Tesla?

    My MS just finished production and is on It's way to Georgia. There's a good chance it'll be here before Christmas. I'm curious how everyone uses or plans to use your Tesla. Will it be your daily driver, long distance cruiser, weekend fun time car, or perhaps only for special occasions. I...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    After repeatedly inquiring as to the reason my MS had been "In Production" since Nov 11th (nearly three weeks) I finally received a response from my DS at 1:29 AM this morning. It Reads: Hi Anthony, Our apologies for any confusion or inconvenience. I’m not sure what statuses are being shown...

    Longer Build Times With New AP 2.0 Cars

    Finally someone with a reasonable explanation from a DS as to what's going with the long production times. As of tomorrow my MS will have been in production for three full weeks. I'm still waiting for my DS to respond to my emails requesting an update. Let's see if the messaging is consistent :).

    Did the factory tour

    We were in the bay area last week visiting my parents for Thanksgiving. On a whim I emailed tourstesla.com letting them know we were in town and asked if there was anyway they might be able to accommodate us on a tour. To my surprise they emailed me back a few hours later indicating they had...

    Ordered! Now when will I see it?

    The lack of communication is very frustrating. I've emailed my DS twice and so far no response. If I treated my customers like this I wouldn't have any customers. I was in California visiting my parents last week over the Thanksgiving holiday. I dropped into the Walnut Creek show room just...
