    No supercharging in Bakersfield CA?

    Coming in a few months. :) I was planning a trip in Q2 and wanted to stop IN Bakersfield for an extended break with my old P85 signature series 'slow' charging. Lo and behold I'll get to stop at a swanky new supercharger. I love how the universe DOES revolve around me! LOL! 😇...

    NEMA 14-50 Meltdown

    I smelled the melting plastic in the garage tonight and found the same issue. Leviton 14-50 receptacle installed back in late 2012 when I got the S. But the UMC is the updated grey one. It's awesome that it lasted this long and even more awesome that I caught it before it got worse. I'll get...

    Chevy Bolt - 200 mile range for $30k base price (after incentive)

    I like the design! I had a Scion xB before which I was going to convert to electric. It was such a fun and practical car! I'd even consider trading in my Sig Performance for it if they can deliver...but they probably will miss on the range or price or performance. And more so I see no...

    Minor Rear end damage

    Frick on a stick. I did it again. I had it replaced just last December. Interesting though is that the price I paid at the Sunnyvale center is quite different than the one above at the Fremont facility. It's not as bad as back in December. I pushed it back in and it's barely noticeable.

    Transporting sheet goods

    I need to transport some wood and it's nice to know the dimensions I can carry in the Model S. I have some large projects coming up around the home including kitchen cabinets, a bench seat, and a storage bed. I took rough measurements and figured I could carry 6'x3' (sorry metric folk) sheets...

    Musk's interest in battery companies

    I've heard that Musk is on the board of a battery technology company. Does anybody know what that company may be? I think it would be interesting to discuss the technology those companies are developing.

    Two days ago I went to San Francisco and back for about 80 mile round trip. I saw 12!!! Model S' along the way!

    Acceleration Whine Caused by gears, not motor

    I, too, noticed it after about a month which would be about 1000 miles or so. Maybe the gears were breaking in and now the oil needs to be changed out? Total guess on my part.

    Door Handles: Auto Presenting *AND* Auto Opening Doors?

    I updated to the latest 4.3 Saturday at the scheduled 2:00AM time. During the day Saturday my drivers door auto opened after I put it in park and the handles presented themselves. Did that twice Saturday. Possible software related? Or just a co-incidence. I've had my car since early November.

    Firmware 4.3 - basic charging scheduling

    The wiper sensitivity was vastly improved from 4.1 to 4.2. They can still improve it some more and in time I'm sure it will improve. If you haven't already politely log your improvement request with them and I'm sure they'll work on it.

    Random Model S sightings

    What a Sunday. Great sunny NorCal day to drive my Sig Red Perf. I saw a grey one on 85 south looking real good from behind all hunkered down. Then an hour later saw a white one in Los Gatos on Blossom Hill. And 30 minutes later a silver one in the same area on Los Gatos Blvd.

    Traction Control/Swaying under Firmware v4.2 ?

    I still have the original software version and I noticed the wagging when flooring it on declining freeway on-ramps. Once I even chirped my tires when going 75 and flooring it.

    Random Model S sightings

    Not really a production Model S but I just spotted it in a picture in the background of this video around the 1:36 mark I know Mike Maloney has is getting one if he hasn't already. He had a roadster till it got in an accident.

    Is Tesla holding back ?

    I don't see much incentive for them to hold back. They still have far too many orders to fill that they don't have to worry about enticing old customers to upgrade their cars for the latest and greatest. Also any options is an opportunity for profit which they need now.

    Model X - 2013 Detroit Auto Show

    Conventional side mirrors. I'm digging the multicolored seats. I'm sure they'll have options for more traditional tastes.

    The high-pitched whine during acceleration...

    My MSP makes the sound about 70% of the time. I wish it sounded like a tie fighter though! ;)

    Model S Software/Firmware Updates

    Like you, I waited a few seconds before I plugged it back in and it didn't come back. I unplugged it for a few minutes (less than 10 more than 5?) while I went to do something else so I didn't time it, but when I came back and plugged it in 3G was working again. I'd try at least a minute.

    Model S Software/Firmware Updates

    I doubt there will be any updates sent over the weekend since if there are any issues the engineers might have to work the weekend to fix them. If I was an engineer at Tesla I would prefer to release it Monday to Thursday. Though I agree with you byt, I would think the Bay Area would get the...

    Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

    Yeah, same thing. Was working fine for 3 weeks then got in the car one morning and I can't remember if it was shortly after take off or at start up but definitely within the first mile I noticed internet radio wasn't working but didn't troubleshoot and only 20 miles later when I went to...

    Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

    OK I figured out where the fuses are. In the back of the frunk lift the back of the plastic panel that covers the windshield wiper fluid. Just lift the back of it (close to the windshield) and it'll pop off the back and then you can pull it back towards the windshield and remove it...

    So where (in) the frunk are the fuses? My 3G stopped working Saturday and I'm eager to get the new updates! =)

    Door Handles: My Tesla S gives me the cold shoulder when I leave it in the cold

    My understanding is that the motors have enough force to pop open even iced over. Not sure if they will respond to the pressure touch to open but the double tap on the fob should break the ice off.

    Durability of 21" tires

    Not sure on the miles but I went 3 days before I had to replace one of mine. :) Flat tire misjudging the wheelbase and the amount of room I needed to turn into the driveway that I took pretty quickly and hit the curb pretty hard. When I went to go check if I bent the rims I heard air leaking...

    Switched from perf 21's to Tesla's 19" winter package

    I changed out my 19s for 21s yesterday. I was supposed to have 21s but ended up with 19s upon delivery. I did notice a slight noise difference but nothing bad. Butt-o-meter didn't notice anymore harshness.

    Homelink

    Mine linked up quite easily. The issue I have is the length of time the homelink sends the signal. Normally I would tap the button on the remote but the homelink sends the signal for several seconds. 10? It seems that if the signal is good and not disrupted between the homelink and the...

    It may be different as the slight smell can build up in a sealed environment. Luckily you have some time to air it out.

    Picked up Sig 1217/VIN921 this morning at the factory. Sig Red performance. They had the wrong wheels so they'll get the correct ones later. Not sure why they couldn't do it right there, but hey, I can rip on these tires till I get the replacement. Take your time Tesla. :) They actually had...
