Has anyone wrapped, or heard of someone else wrapping the glossy backs of the Model X seats, like with a vinyl or some similar product? I loved my S, and love my new X, but HATE those glossy seat backs! I wouls have been fine with something like the S had, a textured matte back...But this gloss...

In fairness, it does shut off after 30 seconds...But every time I get back in the it starts again. Not cool! Anyone ever hear about this happening?

Is there a good thread or source for photos of the Model X in the real world, showing the assortment of exterior color choices? Thanks gang :)

Forgive me, I've been a little out of the Model X loop. We have a Model S, and I had planed to get an X for my wife when her LR4 comes off lease next year, so I haven't really been obsessing over the delivery schedules. Except, now I just found out that her lease is over this September, and not...

I'm having a hard time finding a good map that 1. Shows all of the Superchargers, and 2. Allows you to get driving directions between those superchargers. I'm aware of the EVTRipPlanner map/website, and for several reasons (that I won't bore you with), I REALLY don't like using it. I'm...

I'm a Tesla Model S owner, and I'm about to move forward on a proposal from SolarCity to have them install solar panels at my house...Any advice, suggestions, etc from fellow Tesla owners/SolarCity customers before I sign on the dotted line? Thanks :)

So, I've had my Model S P85 for almost a year, and I've bragged about how it can roadtrip just like an ICE, with a bit of planning. But now I'm starting to panic. Why? Because we leave for a week-long roadtrip tomorrow morming, and one leg of our journey in particular is keeping me up at...

Like many people, I was horrified about the idea of placing NY State Clean Pass stickers on my Model S, even though it would let me use the High Occupancy Vehicle Lane of the Long Island Expressway by myself, whenever I wanted to. So, I came up with a solution that has worked out very well...

I posted this in Tesla forum, but couldn't get any definitive answers, so I thought I would ask the enlightened folks over here too.. So, we all know that the top speed of the Model S is software-limited to around 130mph (depending on model/options)...If there was no software limitation, what...

Tesla called me a couple of days ago and said that they had a proactive fix for my 12-volt battery. A tech came out and is working on my car right now...He said that some of the earlier VINs had been having trouble with the 12-volt batteries (sometimes something as simple as a software push...

I remember seeing photos of someone who had their Model S brake calipers custom-painted a beautiful gloss red, but I can't seem to remember exactly where I saw it...Anyone remember? I've tried search, but no results. Thanks!

I just saw this posted on Instagram...If you're faint of heart, look away... I would LOVE to hear the explanation on this...

It seems that the majority of people posting on here got a Model S for personal use (myself included). However, I just saw the following photo posted to Instagram...It seems that the Lenox Hotel in Boston bought a Model S as a livery car for the guests of their hotel. Very interesting. Anyone in...

I had to go by the NY Service Center in Queens this morning, and I saw the following cars outside, waiting for delivery: VIN# Paint/leather/trim 4321 Grey/grey/matte obeche 4296 Black/black/piano black 4320 White/tan/piano black 3817 Blue/tan/gloss obeche 1816 Blue/tan/carbon fiber 3268...

We got about 16" of snow on the eastern end of Long Island from Winter Storm Nemo (We're naming them now?), and almost that much fell on My Model S. Thanks to the iPhone App, I was able to preheat my car to a balmy 80 degrees, and most of the snow slid right off with minimal effort (Exception...

Did anyone catch the show Translogic (from AOL) on the SPEED channel last night? The episode featured EV Supercars, and gave pretty positive, enthusiastic reviews of all the cars featured (The enthusiasm was by design...They gushed over every car and didn't really talk about any negative aspects...

I will be driving into NYC this Saturday in my Model S for the first time, and parking/charging at a Chargepoint location, also for the first time. I have the Chargepoint App, and I've registered online with them and received my account cards. I'm all set there. However, I don't know which...

So, this is kind of fun...The Wayback Machine A.K.A. Internet Archive project was created to archive everything on the web, to essentially capture snapshots of every website throughout time. So I thought it would be fun to remind myself exactly what I saw when I first found out about Tesla, and...

When I hit the image on the touchscreen (it's not a button! ;) ) for the front Defogger, it does two things: It puts the heat on HI and the Fan Speed on 8 (max)...I figured out how to turn the fan speed down (from the right-hand click-wheel), but as soon as I try to lower the temperature, it...

A friend of mine reserved their Model S in September (Reservation number approx. in the 12,000's), and just got their Time to Configure email...Any guesses when they'll get their car? 85 KwH, non-performance. Thanks :)

If you press and hold down the bottom right-hand button on the steering wheel (the "back" button") for a few seconds, the follow message appears on the touchscreen: Screenshot for Instrument Cluster saved. Screenshot for Center Display saved. So...Where are they saved to?!?!?! And how...

For those of you wondering what the timing might be from the time you receive your VIN#, to the time your car gets delivered, here's what I got, and here's what happened: December 6th - Received VIN #, via the following email: Hi Austin, The time has finally come where your VIN is in our...

Even though I saw very few photos of the Grey interior or the matte Obeche (and none of them together) before I received my car, I was convinced that it was going to be the a great looking combination. My car was delivered two days ago, and I have to say that I couldn't be happier with my...

Popular Mechanics - Breakthrough Leadership Award: Elon Musk Elon Musk Q&A: Elon Musk Will Save the PlanetAnd Then Leave it Behind - Popular Mechanics

So, what effect do you think the New York Times article will have on Tesla stock tomorrow? Plus/Minus? How many points? My take is that it's a largely positive article , on the front page of the automotive section of a widely popular (non-industry) publication, which will probably introduce...

Several people, especially those who are in the process of finalizing there configuration choices, have been debating whether or not to opt for the carbon fiber spoiler (Myself included)...The image on the Tesla configuration page is not very clear, and shows practically no detail. So, I called...
