Absolutely perfect location for us. We have family in Devine and that makes it super easy now when traveling from the Houston area. We have a S 75D with only a 230 mile range. No more worrying about getting there with a low charge now.

The Texas fire- The last report I heard about mentioned that home security cameras caught both gentlemen entering the front seats of the Model S before driving off. What happened after that is still under investigation.

For those considering the Lightning, I wouldn't count on the federal tax rebates still being around. Ford only has 75K or so of those left. The MachE will have been out for more than a full year by the time the truck is out. That is unless they bump the limit to over 200K.

That pry bar is obviously photoshopped into the scene. :)

We have a Dec 2016 Model S and they fit fine. I was afraid I might have to trim a little around the rear console but it fit perfect. There is a almost imperceptible "transmission type hump" in the passenger footwell. If I had not heard about it beforehand I doubt I would have noticed it...

Thumbs Up!

It looks like he attached it via Photoshop! No adapter needed. :)

Who is going to post the first pic of the superchargers covered in snow?

Yeah! That was most likely a 100D not a P100D. A new ordered 100D now starts at $100K and a P100D at $135K.

Wow, Austin must really enforce the front plate rule. I've never seen so many front plates on Tesla's at any gatherings in Houston. My wife runs a front plate but she is a rule follower plus it's a nice place to mount the toll tag.

It needs to be a blind test too. If you know which wheels you are using it may influence your driving style even if you are careful. Seriously, 5% would be well within a reasonable margin of error.

Who thinks the holdup is Tesla is just waiting until Thursday to announce the next generation of chargers? Could this be them? :^) Tesla Superdupercharger!

I too don't see this or any aero wheel being cost beneficial. Even if it only cost $100 per wheel, how long would it take to make up the costs in aero savings? Could it be done in the life of the car?

Our Model S 75D delivered in Dec of 2016. We were told by Tesla that the issues with radar detectors had been resolved. We took it in for a dash cam install and to have our radar detector hard wired. The installer tested the detector and said there were no issues with the normal detector...

I had my 14-50 outlet installed from the ceiling. I built a mini 2'x2' "wall" hanging down that I have it attached cables to. It's just wrapped around a cord hook and I unwrap to charge. I can pull in straight or back into any of the spots in our 3 car garage.

I ordered and received one from the Tesla website a few weeks ago.

Let's face the fact that the kit is designed for "looks" and not for performance. Nothing wrong with that except for the claims of performance which no one is really buying. I personally don't like the looks (to busy for me) but I can see how others might. I can almost guarantee that no aero...

My wife considered the S90 when she was looking but chose the Model S. I am considering the V90 for my next car. It is only available as a custom order in the US and non will be available in showrooms. Only the Cross County version is available in the US as a standard model. It's been out in...

Yes, the new late 2016's tow hook is too long for the bag. For the use of the velcro (hook and loop) to keep it from moving around no velcro has to be applied to the tow hook at all. Use a couple of strips of the hook side to hold down the tow hook. The carpet acts as the loop part for a...

But what if the Tesla was never at the bottom of the hill before? Lets say the factory was at the top of the hill along with all resources needed to produce it. What about that one? Huh? :)

If you have an AP2 car with EAP ($5,000 option) active you do not and will not have "standard" or normal" cruise control! You have TACC which works up to 80 mph (at least for me). How are you activating the TACC? It should be one pull on the stalk. Two pulls activates the full autopilot...

The hook side of velcro attaches nicely to the carpet. A couple of strips holds it firmly in the trunk in an out of the way area.

We took delivery in Dec 16 and almost immediately noticed the mirrors were not working properly. My wife called the service center and they said it was a known problem and it was caused by a software issue. We were skeptical but soon the mirrors were working fine and have been since.

It looks like they must have been parked in a parallel parking spot on your right and tried to make the immediate left turn or a U-turn and hit you on the side. Nothing you could have done to avoid that one. For your door to come off it must have been a substantial hit just in front of the...

My wife was looking to replace her 06 Lexus IS350. She wanted something similar in size and performance but with more luxury type features. She looked at a bunch of cars that she liked the way they looked. Lexus IS,GS. Infiniti Q50, Q70. Mercedes C, E. Acura TLX, RLX. Audi A4,A6. Volvo...

From Tesla- The term chiller is mentioned. Blowing Hot and Cold

Chiller was the term the service technician used when talking to my wife about it too. I just assumed that the Tesla has a different system than traditional cars.

It happened to my wife on her way home yesterday (Model S - delivered in mid-Dec). When she got home we rebooted the main screen and it still didn't work. She called service and was told the first thing to do was to reboot. She said she had already tried that and it didn't work. Service told...

Any different than the one on Amazon Prime for $271? Amazon.com : BlackVue New DR650S-2CH 32GB with Power Magic Pro, Car Black Box/Car DVR Recorder, Built-in Wi-Fi, IR, Full HD, G Sensor, GPS, 32GB SD Card Included, Up To 128GB Support : Camera & Photo

Surprised by that too, but just think, it might be better by the time you get it activated. More updates expected every few weeks.

I heard that the next update will include user setting memories linked to particular key fobs like on most upper end cars. I was really surprised that this feature was not already a part of this car. It may be the end of exit settings. Or has this rumor been going around for years?

It's happened a couple of times on our 5 day old car as well.

Overall I thought the host did a nice job with explaining everything. I was playing with settings yesterday and got to that screen again and hit the absolute button and at that point it was pretty self explanatory. If we had actually selected that setting during the walk through it would have...

That makes perfects sense. Thanks! I think our question to our delivery host stumped her completely and she resorted to making something up on the spot.

Can anyone explain the speed assist settings for speed limits in terms of relative vs absolute? Our delivery person could not explain it in a way that we were understanding it. I understand the absolute 10 mph over being if you go over the speed limit by 10 mph you get a warning. It's the...

I believe it's glued on. Slide some dental floss behind it and saw. Then just rub the sticky stuff remaining and it will come off. My wife just picked up her car yesterday and may leave the front plate on. It doesn't look as bad as we were expecting. She has not had a front plate on her...

On the electric open/close you can set how high the hatch opens, but not sure if that feature is on the manual too. It sounds like it is from your conversation with Tesla. If not you could attach some sort of strap (dog leash works well) that hangs down a bit. My wife is just under 5' so I...

I wished my wife had picked the blue but she went conservative and picked the midnight silver (dark grey). We have one similar blue car (Miata) and I love it.

We are getting ours on Friday and there is no way our garage will ever look like that. But, I do have to point out that you have an outlet without a cover on the wall by the bike. Tsk, tsk, tsk. :)

Yes, ours is in transit as of yesterday and we have a delivery window of Dec 14-21. (Houston area). Our DS asked if we wanted to pick up on the 14th but we are looking at the 16th. Ordered 10/20 Vin 10/28 Production started 12/5 In transit 12/7

I would think that the 2-4 weeks delivery time would be their standard time frame. The end of year push would move that up considerably. I imagine they will be trucking everything. Coast to coast in 7 days is not a problem.

You're 3 days behind our car and it went into production on the 5th. Your in CA so I would bet your about a week away from starting production. Hang in there.

We finally heard back from our DS. She said it should start production this week with a December 19-26 delivery date. I just checked My Tesla and it is showing "In Production". :)

Still waiting to hear about a bunch of Texas cars going into production. Confirmed on 10/28 and nothing has changed since. I've been telling my wife (her car) that I expected it to go in production by 12/5 or so if we are getting it in 2016. That date is getting close and we are getting a...

Probably just the difference of running premium vs regular electricity. ;)

You should check again. If you are looking at the 75D and below the grey seats are available. Only the 90 and 100's have the white instead of grey.

Update to Supercharger policies. An Update to Our Supercharging Program

White leather interior has had some issues with suppliers. Might be the problem. That's the only delay problem I can think of.

How can Tesla do this to me. We just ordered the regular roof because didn't want the sunroof only because of previous experiences with leaking. Now they have the glass roof. How could they not tell me about the new roof option coming soon. I am thinking my car is completely outdated now. No...

Model S 75D ordered 10/20/16 and confirmed 10/28/16. Est. deliver is late Dec./early Jan.
