    Model S driveshaft failure (probably)

    Hi all, Pulling away from lights on a roundabout earlier this week in my 100D (31k miles). Seconds later,about at about 25mph, there's a double popping/soft banging sound, followed by a grinding noise. Front end of the car pulls to the left, almost like it's hit some ice. Very...

    Third party charging in France

    Hi all Planning a two or three week holiday in France later this year. We'll be pretty rural, so not necessarily conveniently close to the nearest Supercharger. Is there a decent equivalent to Zapmap for France and Europe, that shows the vast majority of third party charging facilities? Thanks

    Parking fine at Grantham Supercharger

    Morning all. I've been issued with a parking fine for overstaying at Grantham. The Grantham Supercharger, not Grantham the town...why would you want to overstay at Grantham? I was Supercharging for the first hour or so, I then unplugged but stayed in the charging bay to continue with...

    Model S: rattling sound from front suspension

    2,500 miles in from new: love the car. Cannot imagine going back to an ICEmobile. Not ever. But...slight rattling sound from driver's side front suspension from 1,000-ish miles from new. Getting gradually worse...can hear it up to about 40mph, after which point wind and road noise drown it...

    Supercharger charging speed

    Hi all, Apologies, I'm sure this is a common query, and that the answers are all over this forum....however. First ever Supercharger stop today was at Grantham. Speed of charge was averaging about 42 kW. Stopped later at Tankersley (Barnsley), where we averaged around 98kW, and then...

    Finally...

    Collected my MS 100D today. Very informative handover at Birmingham SC. Plenty of time given by Josh, with no sense of being rushed. Enjoyable too...the moment when the sheet was whipped off was a highlight. Just adds to the drama and sense of fun. The journey begins...

    Storing your charging cables and adaptors

    Interested where in your MS you store your UMC, Type 2 and various extension leads and adaptors. Does it tend to be in the frunk, or the boot (trunk). And, if in the boot (trunk), in the main storage area, or the underfloor cubby?

    Model S rubber floor mats

    Hi all, Delivery date for the new car is looming, so I'm researching and purchasing these last-minute must-have accessories. Rubber floor mats are a must for me due to work (50/50 split between office and site...site often being a wet and muddy field). Does anybody else use rubber floor...

    Autopilot after delivery

    Hi all, As i understand it from the Model S page, EAP can be specified after delivery (albeit at a higher cost than if it were specified at point of order). Is this correct? If so, I'm guessing all the necessary hardware is installed in every MS at build, and it's simply a case of buying...

    Hello from Leicestershire, UK

    Hi all, I discovered TMC whilst obsessively researching the Model S. Great site. I don't have a picture of my car to show, as delivery isn't until November...it's a metallic silver 100d, and I can't wait. Managed to get a referral code for free Supercharging, so we're already planning...

    Newbie to TMC, ordering Model S soon, many questions

    Hi all, First post, so I'm treading carefully I've wanted a Model S ever since it first appeared. A few years on, I finally have the opportunity, and plan to order new within the next couple of months. Between now and then it's the inevitable research! I've got a few random questions...
