    Took my 17 year old daughter to Tire Rack's Street Survival School, which was run by the Philly area SCCA in Blue Bell PA. This was the first time they had an electric car participate and all the instructors were impressed by how the car accelerated (of course) and handled. My daughter...

    Torklift Hitch Installed on Model S

    Installed an Torklift Ecohitch on my 2017 Model S yesterday (2012-2019 Tesla Model S EcoHitch Stealth). Took me 4 hours, but almost an hour of that was figuring out where all the screws and clips I removed from the under carriage panel went (probably should have taken pictures). Managed to...

    Multiple HPWC Issues with Model 3

    Does anyone have more than one HPWC installed and have them interconnected and are charging a Model X or S at the same time as the Model 3? I have a 100A circuit for the HPWCs and they are interconnected and I have no issues charging my Model S and X at the same time. Lately when I charge the...

    TireRack Winter Wheels and Tires

    Terrible experience with TireRack. Bought 4 wheels and winter tires for our Model 3 P+ and the first delivery had 2 damaged wheels. When I called the wheels were out of stock and I had to wait a week and a half for the replacements, which were both supposed to be mounted and balanced for the...

    V9 Dashcam compared to Blackvue 900S

    Quick comparison video of the new Tesla Dashcam compared to the Blackvue 900S. I did not change anything about the video files with exception of downconverting the Blackvue video to 1080P for editing and processing. As you can see the Blackvue has a much bigger field of vision, but without...

    About half the time we pull in to the garage the top sensor on the car detects our door opener and will not allow the FWDs to open at all. Cannot override or anything, simply just beeps at me if I try. There is no way to get them open at all. Anyone run into this and ind a solution? Our...

    Took Thor to ATCO Raceway and Crushed some ICE

    Took my P100D (Thor) to ATCO Raceway for an EV Event. People brought a Model 3 Performance, a Roadster and 2 P85Ds and we ran against other street cars and each other. Crushed a Hemi Charger and a Camaro SS that agreed to run against me. I used Max Battery Mode, but did not use Launch Control:

    Best Roadtrip car

    Took my longest road trip so far (500 miles each way) and the S proves to be the best roadtrip car I have owned. With minor exceptions of one SC station not working properly at one spot and the EAP trying to take some highway exits on it's own the trip was great. Love driving only about 1 1/2...

    Roadside Assistance Experience and Blown Tire

    Well, managed to blow the right driver's side tire on my S in a massive pothole on the highway in NJ. Minor wheel damage as well. Call Roadside Assistance and they were very helpful, but I was a bit surprised they have no way to locate my vehicle. Tesla should add the ability to send the...

    Model X Buy Back

    Curious about opinions regarding a potential buy back offer from Tesla. First, they are reducing their proposed offer by the $7500 Tax Credit. My opinion is that the tax credit is not guaranteed and they should not be unduly enriched by me passing through the tax credit that is related to...

    Chill Mode in Snow

    Found great use for Chill Mode - bad weather. Used it yesterday in snow in NJ and it worked great with my Model S P100D. When I initially left my house yesterday with about 3" of snow on the road in the neighborhood I put the car in Chill Mode and the reduced throttle response was perfect for...

    Just want to let people know that I found another "bad actor" that causes Tesla WiFi to fail, Wink Home Control. Been struggling for weeks to solve the issue and finally just decided to "brute force" it and disconnect things one at a time until it worked. Wink Home control ended up being the...

    Two Wall Chargers

    I just installed a second HPWC in my garage and was a bit surprised by how they work. When either is connected alone I get 72A and charge rate of about 50 - 55 miles / hr. When I connect both and they are both charging I get 40A each and about 25 - 27 miles / hr charge rate. That all seems...

    In the case anyone else runs in to this issue I have been having trouble connecting both of my Teslas to my home WiFi.

    Tesla Service Experience Takes a Strange Turn

    The story with my Model X all started when my wife and I tried to take it to dinner on Saturday night, about 2 weeks after we took delivery of our Blue with white interior / 6 seater with console 100D. When we went to the X to go, I tried to put it in gear and an alert came up for Parking Brake...

    New Model X - Out of Service Already - Parking Brake Needs Service

    1 week after delivery and my Model X is in the garage and cannot get out of Park with message - Parking Brake Needs Service. Called RSA and seems it might be 2017.38 firmware update related possibly. Disappointing with less that 100 miles driven and cannot move the car at all now.

    3D Printed Custom Large Phone Dock

    Anyone Have 2 Model S's?

    Replaced my wife's Panamera 4S with a P100D Model S, and now I want to drive the Model S everyday. She doesn't need the performance so was debating getting either another Model S or X, but a 100D. Anyone else have 2 Model S's in their garage?

    Just curious if anyone received any contact from Tesla, you sales person or the DS after you picked your car up. I have not been contacted at all regarding my experience, thanking me for the purchase or any follow-up to see if I am happy or if there are any issues. Very strange as with every...

    First Trip in New P100DL

    Made my first trip in the new Model S and here are a few observations: Navigation- Ran Waze and Tesla Nav side by side for trip from NJ to LI (around or through NYC), which is not an easy nav task. Interestingly I followed the Tesla Nav and just looked at how it compared to Waze. Each time...
