    Buzzing/Vibration at certain times - felt in steering wheel

    This happens to me occasionally when the AC is really cranked to max. There is a bit of vibration in steering. I'm told it's not unusual (by service).

    Hot UMC Cable

    Warm is ok; very hot should be checked. I have had a couple of mobile connectors that needed replacement, one because it was hot to the touch - all during 40 amp charging. Better safe than sorry....

    Coated windshield impacting door openers and EZpass

    For what it's worth, I finally found a place that the SunPass (in Florida) worked - at least a couple of times. It is right below the mirror mound (directly below the center) with the pass just into the clear part of the windshield below the black part of the mirror mount. Regards... Keith

    Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

    Same issue for me. I was told its not sealed and that's jut the way it is. Can't be good for internals but I guess if ventilated, condensation disappears when dry...

    Range mode is "sticky"

    funny, I just discovered this error today as well - range charged yesterday in Model S, came back and plugged it in assuming it would revert to standard, but it didn't. Should be an easy fix.

    Three Weeks with Signature Performance (Pros and Cons)

    I would not have backed out for these items. But at the price, you'd like to see an effort to get it right. Tesla still has to prove they can get it right with service for Model S, but overall, the car is a winner. - - - Updated - - - Should have also added that there is a distortion at the...

    Three Weeks with Signature Performance (Pros and Cons)

    First, I am enjoying the car immensely - which is most important. A few minor glitches on delivery, some possible design flaws/issues, and a whole lot of fun and admiration otherwise. List below not meant to be comprehensive, just an accumulation of items after having had a chance to drive it...

    Toll Windshield Transponders Has anyone been able to use a SunPass (FL), Easypass (Northeast) or similar transponder with success? I can't seem to find the right place in the window that allows mine to work. If anyone has had success, can they post a quick picture here of the location...

    Tesla is communicating better.

    Even more than that, I believe they need to automate systems so that post purchase, there are still regular communications dealing with benchmarks - registration filed with state, due-bill items, any service issues, etc. So far, I have not been contacted on any of these items (although I have...

    The Tesla Time Question

    I was telling George B the exact same thing last night at the Miami Beach store opening (which didn't open, but that's another story) as I believe I probably was responsible for another reservation after giving a friend a quick drive yesterday morning (reaction was sort of like Will Smith in...

    Florida owners with panoramic roof do we need the sun shade?

    As a fellow Floridian, I agree - it's hard to tell now given the nearly perfect weather (hooray for winter in Florida!). I think we're just going to have to wait and see what it looks like and how easily the car handles the summer heat...

    Model S Makes it to Miami...

    I actually went with the black interior - I was just afraid of white showing dirt given I still drive kids around (although less now - two are in college) and I just liked the uniformity of the black more than the tan. Happy to show you the black when I get a chance to take a few shots. Some...

    Model S Delivery Issues and Communication Concerns

    My experience was sort of similar- sig 92 vin 506- and went through a period where communications were abysmal- emails not returned, phone calls ignored, etc. Was given sept mvpa date with a wink and now that it might be late August- now looking like very end of October or very early November...

    So, What exactly is the value of a Signature Model S?

    Model S Delivery Issues and Communication Concerns

    So, What exactly is the value of a Signature Model S?

    Although I might quibble with the bennies, I absolutely agree with the above and would only add that the Sig was presented originally as a limited production car with exclusive features that would not be available in general production. Other than a specific shade of red paint and white...

    Model S Delivery Issues and Communication Concerns

    And that's pretty much the point I have been trying to get across - that when just one Sig owner uses the word "sucker" - Tesla has lost goodwill from some of its earliest and best evangelists. I have a model x reservation in addition to my model s sig reservation - no way I would even think...

    Model S Delivery Issues and Communication Concerns

    "This kind of comment bothers me to no end for a lot of reasons. " I don't know why it bothers you - it should bother Tesla. It's one thing for someone to tell you that all orders for a state are batched together. It's another to say that someone whose reservation came almost a thousand...

    So some background - I'm not old,old, but old enough to have had to wait on gas lines in the wake of the 1970s Arab oil embargo and young enough (barely) to still be prone to a mid life crisis (more on that below). Some twenty years ago or so , I had a letter published in the Wall Street...
