My situation is I'm getting divorced, and I either need to refinance my current car or get a new one. Today I test drove a 2024 BMW iX and I left blown away. Yes, it's a little smaller (5 seats vs. 6, but considerably more useable cargo area). It lacks air suspension (they stopped that after...

I had my S wrapped with XPEL stealth as soon as I got it, and after living with it for a year decided to go full stealth - chrome delete, tinted windows, and satin black powder coat on the wheels. I just got the black lug nut caps in and took her out for some pictures... really happy with how...

I've been researching audio upgrades for my model S (2018, standard audio) and I think I want to go the custom route. I'm not in CA or I'd just got to Reus and be done with it, so my question is... Anyone get aftermarket audio installed anywhere local to the Chicago metro area and have a good...

My model S has been at the detailer for a week getting some work done (chrome delete, window tint, curb rash repair + powder coating wheels) and I've been anxious for its return. While I wait I've been researching audio upgrades (the last thing I really want to "do" to the car). I'm looking to...

Since I've seen a bunch of threads complaining about the current state of service, I wanted to chime in with my recent (overall quite positive) experience. First off, I was lucky in that this was for minor warranty work (the motor on the steering column started making a god awful noise/needed...

Last night my avg Wh/mi calculation in both the energy graph and the IC display shot up to just over 500 Wh/mi, and estimated like 100mi range on an 80% charge of my 75D (normally 210-211 mi). Nothing changed in my driving (I do drive spiritedly, but that's an all the time thing), the only...

By sheer luck today I used NoA on a destination that was just after the interstate turned in to a county road while it was raining out. I'm honestly shocked with how well it handled the transition. Not only did it know when to get over (twice) before the stop light, it took the turn and...

I admit, I didn't get the big deal with the new HOV sticker requirement in CA. I'm out in the Bay Area for work this week for the first time in ~8 months, and HOLY *sugar* THEY ARE AWFUL. I've seen dozens of gorgeous model s, 3, and x cars riding around with these absolutely hideous orange or...

I'm showing my newly wrapped car tomorrow in the local National Drive Electric Week event (come say hi if you're near Highland Park, IL!), and the stealth has already acquired quite a few fingerprints because preschooler. I don't have time to do a full wash or anything by tomorrow morning...

I'll be showing my stealth wrapped model s at the national drive electric week event in Highland Park, IL tomorrow, for at least the first half of the event but maybe the whole thing if it's not too hot out. Would love to meet some other TMC members! National Drive Electric Week Event -...

I just got my car back from the detailing shop (Auto Image out in Barrington, IL). They were fantastic to work with and did a really nice job... highly recommended if you're in the Chicago area. They've been doing a lot of Teslas and it shows; they really know their stuff. Full XPEL stealth...

My new blue model S is at the detailer this week getting an XPEL Stealth wrap and modesta bc08 ceramic coating, and the detailer left me an interesting choice: Since they have to remove the badges/front license plate holder any how, what do I want re-attached when they're done? I definitely...

I've had my S 75D for a couple of days now and it's absolutely amazing... My only complaint is that I find basically every excuse to punch the throttle. I don't drive particularly fast (usually), but I stab that go fast pedal like it's my job because the feeling is addictive. In an of itself...

I ordered my S75D in early June, and was finally able to pick it up last night. FWIW they basically told me the delays were due to so many model 3 deliveries swamping them, and I totally believe it. Just during the ~45 minutes we were at the store 2 full trucks of mostly model 3 arrived/were...

After a ton of back and forth (my car actually arrived locally Friday, but holiday + model 3 deliveries have me pushed back) I'm finally taking delivery of my model S tomorrow at 2:30pm. Now can someone tell me how I'm supposed to shut my brain off until then? I can't think of anything else...

When I ordered my my model S back at the beginning of June it said "end of August" delivery. My OA had originally told me he expected it to arrive at the local store on Monday (8/27). After it didn't arrive Monday he updated me with a date of today (the 30th). I received another email today...

I've been checking my order page compulsively since I ordered my Model S. It's currently built and in-transit (I'm supposed to take delivery next week). Up until this afternoon, the color showed as the nice dark "deep blue metallic" that I ordered. Now, however, it's showing as the same (much...

My Model S 75D just finished production yesterday, and today I got the financing sorted out (Tesla Lending actually came back with a better offer than Alliant by .75%). My HPWC is installed in the garage/glowing green, and I've read the owner's manual a handful of times now. It's not getting...
