    Plaid console trays?

    Getting a Plaid and wondering about the tray inserts that you can buy for the center console. Are any of them any good? Has anyone that has bought the Plaid or the LR bought any of these options that are out there and feel they can't live without it? I currently have the '18 P100D and bought the...

    LV 12v battery

    I have the original 12v AGM battery from my 2018 P100D. I have recently replaced it as I didn't want to go through having problems with bricking the car and not being able to access it. When I took it out and replaced it, I tested it with my tester. I have an advanced tester that actually puts a...

    New Plaid

    I finally pulled the trigger today. Ordered a new Plaid and the salesman said since I was trading in a P100D with unlimited supercharging, I would get 6 years of free unlimited supercharging and $5K added to the trade in offer. Then he called me back JUST after having placed the order online...

    The ludicrous claims of the uninformed.

    Thought I would throw this out there for everyone that cares to read? Received this a couple of times from friends that are just as uninformed as the guy that wrote this email. I was laughing so hard I almost fell down. People actually believe this stuff because they have no idea of the energy...

    The competition?

    Meh...........hard to think of this car at $2.4M as competition for the roadster when it comes out as the roadster will be 1/10 the cost. But it may be competition in acceleration and top speed...

    NVX Boost subwoofer

    I installed this kit on my P100D and am thoroughly happy with it. Does anyone know if it will fit correctly in the new model Plaid?

    Subwoofer needed on 2021 refresh?

    I have a 2018 S with the UHF sound system. When I purchased the car, despite the fact that it had a subwoofer, low frequency sounds were sorely lacking. I added the NVX B.O.O.S.T. system to the car a couple of months after purchase and have found it to be excellent. My question with the new 2021...

    Notification of firmware update

    Anyone out there that has Elon's ear? Sure would be nice to get an email or text notice that a firmware update is available for your car? While you're at it, Elon, you might think about letting us know the firmware update number while you're at it? It sure would save a lot of time and effort...

    Tesla Capitalism

    A man who just purchased a new Model S had just washed it and was polishing it when a man approached and told him that the money used to buy this car could've fed thousands of less fortunate people. The guy looked at my Tesla and said, "I wonder how many people could have been fed for the money...

    V3 Supercharger

    Just today I was driving to supercharge in Indianapolis and my SOC was very low....less than 5% and a notice came up on the screen telling me I needed to recharge very soon and a pop-up showing superchargers nearby. I was surprised to see a location about 43 miles away since I didn't have charge...

    Flashing light underneath door handle

    Does anyone know what it means if the courtesy light underneath the driver's side door handle flashes on and off about once every second. My car has been doing this off an on for about two months now for no apparent reason. To get it to stop, I have to open the car door and then close it...

    What's your best mpge reported by stats? Just curious.

The best I'd done previously had been on a trip to see my daughter, about 300+...

    Latest Sc Results

    Okay, so I know model S & X use 18650's instead of the latest greatest 2170's in the 3 which don't allow the pack to charge as quickly as the 3's. But I thought I would relay my latest charge session at a close by SC pictorially speaking. Prior to the recent upgrade of V2 chargers to "up to 150...

    Max Battery Power

    I think I already know the answer to this question, but perhaps someone out there that DOES actually know can confirm it? When you "navigate" to a supercharger now, the battery pack gets warmed up, but to my understanding, it only warms up to around 30 degrees celsius if the drive time is long...

    Stalls blocked by Tesla Owner

Almost every time I drive by there, there is a black model S or more sitting there not charging. Upon further investigation...

    Just got this update the other day and am confused somewhat, as to the architecture of the update numbers? I thought the first four were the year of version 9, followed by the week and day with other minor modifications following. Obviously, we are in 2019, so why would the update not show 2019...

    Ludicrous mode vs sport mode
