    Major Problem (electrical failure, smell, smoke and shutdown) 2017 Model S

    Been a long while (years) since I posted, but Maggie’s in the shop for the first time since I got her 4 years and 3 days ago. . .very bummed. She’s still immaculate after 40K miles.

    Chicago S owner- Rec'd Invitation to Configure Today...Dual Motor Mid '18

    Tesla not appearing in a hurry to get Model 3s to showroom. . .why not?

    Drove past my local SC this week and it dawned on me that there still aren't Model 3s available to see except in Fremont or in the wild. . . If I was looking to pad the Model 3 reservation volume (i.e. Sell them!), I would be prioritizing getting Model 3s to the SCs as soon as possible. . . So...

    So my HS frosh daughter has an away soccer game this past Friday afternoon. Earlier in the day I had taken my MS for the 1st time courtesy wash at the detailer who wrapped and coated the car two weeks ago. They do this for QC two weeks after the wrap / coat to ensure that all the seams took...
