The IRS just release the list of Vehicles that qualify for the new tax credit and only the 7 seat variant meets their definition of an SUV that is based on GVWR. Lots of discussion on reddit and it is leaving a lot of buyers that chose to wait for January angst. Personally, where the...

2018 Model S 75D and up until this release the backup camera would stay black until a reboot. With this version of the software, the camera will intermittently start flickering with a pink band at the bottom. Anyone else have this problem and if resolved, how was it fixed? See posted video...

Like many other owners of Teslas it can be a pain when parking and trying to avoid scraping the front lower lip on a curb or parking stop that is higher than the clearance of the lip. The location of the parking sensors is high enough on the front bumpers such that its angle of view downward is...

I signed up for Tezlab and created an account back in early May. It has worked off and on since but mostly off. They recently sent out an email encouraging users to retry the application and to sign in to see the new Dashboard. I went ahead and signed in to give it another look even though I...

I had my car (3) in for a quick check before a long road trip and to have a few minor front fender adjustments. I had also ordered the plastic trunk trim piece. Just before I was getting ready to leave I asked the SA if he could tell me when I could expect the trim piece. He said he would go...

I picked these up last Friday from RPM Tesla. It definitely helps to be able to put things so you know where they are and can get to them easily. The compartments are adjustable with velcro tabs so you can arrange based on what you plan to keep in the trunk/frunk. For example, my wife like to...

I fought going with the solution because I have always preferred the crispness of clear screens like the Apple iPhone or iMac. Matte screens seemed to reduce contrast and make the screen more difficult to read on older eyes like mine. However, the reflections from the interior and glare fro...

I was driving today in my 3 with update 2018.14.13 and on two different occasions with nothing I could see to cause it the vehicle applied the brakes firmly from 75mph and then let off. The first time a big pickup was behind me and it scared the crap out of me as I did not want to be rear ended...

This was just seen and reported by TeslaFi. If it is a bug fix anyone know what bugs it might have fixed. It was seen on a 3.

Here is an article that alludes to the recent Silicon Valley saga concerning Theranos and Elizabeth Holmes. Was The SEC Sending Tesla A Message? It is the author's view that the SEC is sending Elon and Tesla a message. Jina Choi, Director of the SEC’s San Francisco Regional Office, added the...

Here are features I would like to see added to the model S: 1. Birdseye View 2. Cross Traffic Warning (when backing out of a space) It is very difficult to see if any vehicles are coming in either direction 3. Blind spot warning or view & warning 4. Wireless Cell phone charging 5. Automatically...

There seems to be two topics running in this thread, one on tariffs on steel and aluminum and one on model S refresh. I can see some interior upgrades happening during the year but I doubt if any exterior changes will happen this year. It costs a lot more money to change the exterior with...

I see plenty of non-owners, including me, having their delivery dates moved an entire quarter or more depending on configuration. I haven't seen any posts from owners announcing their change in delivery dates. I became an owner of a private party S (bought from a forum member this weekend) so...

I have a 3 reservation (Feb-Apr) but I am also considering an S. Setting aside price, those of you that own both cars and have had the 3 long enough to be past the honeymoon period (I know this may not have happened yet), I would like to hear your recommendation as to which Tesla would be best...
