I'm looking for a shop in the PNW or NorCal that can install a light tint to the Model X windshield for heat rejection. Spectra Photosync 75 is a common choice, but would be just as happy with the relatively recent Xpel Prime XR Plus (which has similar heat rejection properties). Only shops I...

Hi, I'm after improving my range and would like to look into replacing the factory 20" rims with 19" non-staggered lightweight, forged wheels. I like the idea of the non-staggered setup, as I could potentially keep a spare tire in the trunk, but more importantly I'm after lightweight wheels for...

I'm looking to do a full windshield tint using Spectra Photosync 75 or similar, and the only place that I have found that offers this in the Portland, Oregon area charges an absurd $1600. I'd be interested to know what others have paid on the West Coast, even as far as southern California...

Curious if anyone’s been able to remove the fog light housing so that the chrome strips that sit under the clear fog light covers can be wrapped in black vinyl to “chrome delete” them. Most people just chrome delete the part that extends outside of fog light housing, which I think looks worse...

this weekend I preheated the cabin of my 2.5 month old Model X using the iOS app for the first time when up in the mountains. That much worked, but I couldn’t seem to enable the heated seats through the app. While I don’t have the cold weather package included through PUP, I figured I’d be able...

any way to remove the fog light “lens” or clear covers so I can blackout the chrome that’s behind them? Thanks!

so I got a full body PPF wrap of my X recently and tried opening the FWDs one day later, to show to a friend, and the driver side FWD would not open. It made the warning beep without even trying to open. I had to manually override the entire opening, but was incredibly slow to open. Could the...

I have a recently purchased Model X that I’d like to have tinted. So there’s a few topics I’d like to discuss and figure out. 1.) Comparison of Tints. The consensus here seems to go with the Spectra Photosync by Prestige Films. It’s been somewhat difficult to find shops that deal with that film...

Seems absurd that the quick access icons on the main display, which there are only so many of, are wasted by heated seat icons on a hot day or by the passenger temperature adjustment when no one is sitting in the passenger seat. Those quick access icons could be intelligently, contextually...

I’d like to install something like the this Bestek 200W inverter under the passenger side dash and tap into the tow brake connector which is found behind the driver side footwell carpet. Before I poke around, I'm curious if someone has found a convenient way to snake a wire from the driver side...

I am looking for an extension cable for the Mobile Connector that would allow me to use all of the adapters I already own. I don’t want to have an extension cable just for NEMA 14-50 or NEMA 5-15, because then I’d need an extension cable for each and every adapter. Is there an extension cable...

Does the web browser support auto-refreshing or auto-reloading of webpages? Understanding that the browser doesn't support videos, the next best thing would be to follow sports with an auto-refreshing web page.

and no, I'm not talking about the kind of anxiety you might feel after eating a three bean chili. I'm talking about range anxiety with a gas powered car. I found myself getting more range anxiety driving my ICE car, than I have when ever driving an electric car. First of all, like most people...

I’m curious if anyone that has the 19” aero wheels (part 1008796-00-B) that were designed for the Model S knows the max load rating? Was there a manual or info sheet that included this information? I’m considering testing them out on the Model X

Looking to purchase the older (somewhat fugly) 19" Aero Wheels that were released for the Model S a few years ago. Thanks.

Got a call from Tesla today informing me that Portland now has a dedicated test drive vehicle. Anyone know what configuration it is? Would like to test drive a non-Perf Model S. Ideally in Blue with Tan interior. One can hope right?!

I have to say, I am secretly hoping a Model S convertible is announced sometime early next year. Admittedly I'd only get it if it were a sleek hard-top convertible (not a fan of the cloth ones), but I have to say the thought of a Model S convertible is nice indeed. With its frameless door...

Since I rent a condo and don't have my own garage with the ability to easily charge my Model S every night, I'm curious what impact different charging habits may have on the Model S's battery life. Here's a list of possibilities. A.) I only charge it every few days (1x - 2x a week) since my...

Having come out of school right when the housing market was ballooning I never bought a home. I called BS on the market then, and I'm glad I was right and held off. But even now I still don't think owning residential real estate is a good investment. It should strictly be a lifestyle decision...

From their Q1 2012 shareholder letter

Personally I call BS. For all we know this is just some anti-EV propaganda Official claims Fisker Karma to blame in Texas house fire - Autoweek Sorry, looks like this is old news. Mods, please delete. Fisker Karma catches fire ... don't need articles like this :(

New York International Auto Show Do you know if Tesla will be there?

I see a fair amount of people from the Tri-State area and think we need our own sub-forum, no? I think the biggest city and most populated metropolitan area in the country needs representation :) How's about we get a roll call here?

Considering the Model S is a bit exotic, I was curious what options (however tasteful or not) could be done to make the thing stand out even more than it already does. Do you remember the Alpha version of the Model S had these cool neon blue Daytime Running Lights? Whatever happened to those...

One thing I don't like is that even if you opt for the tan or light colored interior, there's still an overwhelming amount of black to the interior. If I get go with a light interior, I don't want it to be black with a hint of light colors as it is now. The center console is black, the doors are...

I'm kind of curious to hear the thought process behind people's decisions to get the Model S. Obviously most people will claim they wanted an EV, but I'm sure there's more to the story than that. A couple of years ago I decided to put down a deposit for the Model S, after what started as a...

Without anyone actually answering that question directly (since it indirectly reveals your net worth), I'm curious through a poll to see just how much people are stretching themselves to purchase this car. By liquid assets, I mean money in your checking, savings, and brokerage accounts, or...

As a 6'5" Model S reservation holder headroom and legroom are pretty key for me. Can anyone that attended the beta event this past weekend comment on the roominess of the car?
