    Tesla's GPS vs. Waze vs. EVTripping questions...

    So I tried it this morning. Last night, I planned out my day in www.abetterrouteplanner.com and sent the link to my google calendar. I clicked on the link from the calendar (in the nice big Tesla Screen on my Model S) and after a little difficulty getting it to load (bad wifi/LTE connection) it...

    Tesla's GPS vs. Waze vs. EVTripping questions...

    So you use that website to plan the route. I suppose you can do it on your computer and send the link via your calendar to the car. Once you click on it, does it pull up the Tesla's GPS? Do you just go point to point with it? or plan the entire route? I'm going to play with it now and plan my...

    Autopilot thoughts

    My Model S has less than 1,000 miles and the Autopilot is sometimes crazy. You would think someone's drunk uncle is behind the wheel. It sometimes just veers off for no reason. I believe it may still be calibrating?

    Tesla's GPS vs. Waze vs. EVTripping questions...

    I've had my Model S for a few weeks and have some questions about the Tesla GPS and also how to integrate other GPS/EV Mapping programs. Currently I use Waze and/or Googlemaps on my phone and am satisfied with the results. 1) Can the Tesla GPS provide you with alternative routings? I don't see...

    Summon failure - sudden turn as reversing out of garage crushed mirror

    Can someone explain why I would want to summon the car out of the garage? Don't you just get in the car and either put it in reverse or drive and have the wheels straight and just exit the garage slowly and carefully? Are people just trying to be cool or show off? I don't get it.

    MD - EVSE Rebate Program 2.0

    I had my install done and sent in the paperwork. They said they submitted it for payment on Jan 3 and it should be 4-6 weeks to get the check. Just a few pointers for everyone... they need a photo of the outlet (I just put in the NEMA 14-50 outlet) with the car plugged in they look up the...

    Tesla Forcing Slacker to Stream in Low Quality?

    Why is it that Tesla doesn't seem to be able to provide SiriusXM outside of the package. Has it always been that way? Seems to me that they're saying that if you want SiriusXM, you have to pay through the nose for the sunroof etc. Is it a money thing? I can't imagine that it would be a...

    How to track charging on new Model S 75D

    The reason I mentioned Superchargers is that I don't pay for their use. It might be interesting to know that I drove 1,000 miles and to figure out what I paid for my charging for those 1,000 miles. Couldn't I just add up in some fashion how much I paid for the electricity and get a somewhat...

    How to track charging on new Model S 75D

    And I suspect that I'm not really interested that much ($50/yr) LOL Seems hard to imagine that this isn't baked into Tesla's onboard computer. But maybe they don't want us tracking too carefully because people just think it's free? or freeish?

    How to track charging on new Model S 75D

    There should be a question mark in the title. Can that be fixed?

    How to track charging on new Model S 75D

    My car is in production and hopefully will arrive before the end of the year. It will be my first Tesla and I'm really excited to get it. Is there a way to automatically keep track of the charging? I think it would be interesting to see at the end of the month how much juice I used and at what...

    Calling all ProClip Users!!!

    Has anyone tried this magnetic holder? I believe that if you want to remove it, you slide a piece of dental floss between the mount and the dash and it comes off. This seems much better than blocking a vent. I don't have this clip, nor do I have my Tesla yet (just ordered 10/31). Any thoughts...

    Anyone else having "Loading Error" with Slacker

    So what have people been doing to listen to stuff if slacker and tunein are wonky? Just loading music on phone and streaming that via bluetooth? I don't have my car yet, but can the car read the music via usb and not rely on bluetooth for music?

    Subzero vs. Pre-heating

    Sorry I wasn't clear. Say I'm parked at work and it snows 2 inches. My car is not under cover and snow has now accumulated on my hood, roof, etc. I can clear away the snow from the windows, but I should also clear away snow from the hood and also the roof. I wouldn't want to drive and have that...

    Vacuum Interior....

    How about using the vacuum at a gas station? Don't they cost about $1 to use?

    Subzero vs. Pre-heating

    Do people do anything special to clear the snow from the hood/roof/trunk etc? My car is kept in a garage at home, but it could snow a bit at work. Are people just using the brush to clear the hood as they would a regular car?

    Ordered S75D Oct 7th

    One reason someone might want paper delivery is due to the possible elimination of the tax credit. There is no guaranty that the credit will exist next year and a paper delivery at the end of December would ensure that the car was "delivered" in 2017. Otherwise, not much of a reason to do a...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    My order was placed Oct 31 and I got a call yesterday from someone in Las Vegas last night. He thought his best guess was the car would be finished production the first week of Dec. Now I just have to see how long to ship to Maryland.

    New Model S 75D front plate bracket attached?

    I had read about different ways to display the front license plates without drilling into the car. I saw about zip ties and a few other brackets/gizmos that worked using the grill. So I asked the Delivery Specialist (I just ordered 10/31) if they could not drill the car in the front and could...

    Delivery update from order on Oct. 1

    Well, as long as it was "absolute assurance", you'll be ok. Just kidding. I'm in the same boat as you are. Hoping the website estimate is wrong and the salesguy was right :)

    Using electrician that has never done an electric car wiring job. Bad idea?

    Maybe if I wanted to ask his opinion about just getting the wall plug versus getting the wall charging unit?

    Using electrician that has never done an electric car wiring job. Bad idea?

    Thanks. I just got a little nervous when an electrician say's he never heard of a Tesla!

    I've printed that out and hopefully that will tell him all he needs to know!

    Using electrician that has never done an electric car wiring job. Bad idea?

    Someone gave me the name of a licensed electrician. I spoke to him and he never heard of a Tesla. To be fair, I'm sure he's not dealing with the most affluent people and he wouldn't have much interaction with anyone that has a Tesla. That being said, would it be a mistake to use him? I'm going...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I ordered my Model S 75D on 10/31 and got an email saying mid January or early February. I contacted the sales guy and the delivery specialist and they both claimed that the auto email date was wrong and that it should be mid-December. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

    MD - EVSE Rebate Program 2.0

    One of the electricians I spoke to said that you had to have the permit to get the rebate. I'm sure the state isn't handing out rebates for non-permitted work.
