Model X used in Salvation pilot episode.

Tesla Model S as a support car for the only cycling major event in North America. Very environmental and no exhaust for the cyclists to breathe. Sorry about upside down.

Today while cleaning salt and dirt off by happy place (Model S), my thumb nail was caught and partially torn off. I super glued it back together after a painful cleaning. Anyone else have a blood, sweat, and tears story? Sorry that I am not a great story teller but many here are.

(mod note: Tesla announced official openings for the Mishawaka, IN and St. Joseph, MI Superchargers for December 11th, see details in this thread) Mishawaka IN (South Bend) will have a supercharger very soon. The power company just needs to plant a pole and run the wire to power the six...

Top Gear USA showed the Model S going 60mph in reverse. I just tried going in reverse today and was limited to 15 mph. Comments?

Tire Rack now has a 21 inch winter tire. Pirelli Sotozero series 3 is new and available in our size? The owner of Tire Rack has a Tesla Model S and it snows a lot here in South Bend.

On the 7/29/2013 Clarkson is actually gushing about an electric car. I think I saw a Grin from Clarkson. He still claimed 20 hours for a recharge and other anti EV drivel. There is hope for the future, but I can tell from his tone that Tesla Model S will still be bashed and abused...

Today while cleaning my windows, I noted thin lines vertically oriented in the windshield. There were two perfectly straight in the exact middle with about ten more every few inches. I expect these are manufacturing artifacts between the panes as they were glued together. Anyone else? Any...

There is a new article in USA today online that there will be no further orders for the 40 kWh battery and they will use 60 and electroically limit. I think this is a great thing for the 40 kWh as it will improve their battery life expectancy. It also says that Tesla is profitable. Sorry I...

I have noticed that when I leave my Tesla outside in the cold that I have trouble getting it to respond and extend its handles. This is with gloves, with cold hands and even it will not extend when I get the fob out trying again. Suggestions or comments?

Ten days and one thousand miles after delivery, I decided to go 300 miles round trip. I filled to maximum over night. I drove around town to work. I drove 50 miles of site. Plugging into a fifty foot 12 gauge extension 110 volt for 6 hours gave the Tesla 20 extra ideal miles. I then drove...

I have wired for my HPWC but it will not be available when the car is delivered. The electricians placed a NEMA 14-50 plug for now. Ordinarily this plug would be limited to 40 amps continuous. Will the Model S pull only 40 amps or will it pull 50? How dangerous would it be? It is on a 100 amp...

Happy b day to the inventor of our future cars' motor.

Did anyone else hear the Tesla Model S review on NPR today? A few inaccuracies I think but a very positive review. I think it was a teaser for a bigger review.

What do you think about the aerodynamics of the Model S with regards to bugs? Now that spring is back and I see the bug smears on my car grill and windshield, I wonder, does the new car aerodynamics cause more or fewer bugs to hit than other similar cars? My wife's Highlander hits more rocks and...

I just spent an hour going through a beta. I found that I love the steering wheel and the column. I see why they chose it. MB has made good choices. It tilts and telescopes more than most. The controls have intuitive feel even though I have only ever driven a MB around the block previously...

I am trying to decide how to care for my Model S. I live in a lot of ice and snow. I am going to drive all winter long. Do I wash the car every few days with a standard car wash? There are no touch less car washes unless I use a wand. That would be a no go in the winter. What do people...

As the obsessed fanboy that I am, I am always talking to people about my future Tesla Model S. Many people are truly interested in seeing or driving it. We are 100 miles from the Tesla Store. I plan to put up signs to announce the arrival of my new baby and have one or more events similar to...
