After commenting just 20 min ago how much I enjoy the Model S, I came home this evening, plugged in Model S and then: 1) Model S locked the charging cable to the car and wouldn't release and wasn't charging 2) Somehow, I got it to release the charging cable (via Open Charge Port, pushing the...

Got mine on 12-11-12. No need to post photos of Performance, silver, carbon fiber, pano roof - everyone's seen photos before. Here are my findings as an owner: Positive feedback: 1) Tesla nailed it. The driving experience is faster than an Aston Martin Vanquish (according to MotorTrend). So...

After hearing all the hype and being the ever-skeptic, I'd like to know what current Model S owners are disliking about their new Model S. Any quirks about the vehicle that really bother you? Example: 1) No power folding mirrors 2) No concealable storage space within cabin except for...

The recent German article that reports that one owner's Roadster is getting only 100 km of range after going 150k miles is highly concerning for me. Cinergi's Roadster over a 2 year period driving a total of 20k miles decreased from 188 miles to 181 miles in range (standard charging). This...

Please excuse if this has been answered before; I tried to do a search but didn't find the answer. What happens to Model S if there is a power surge in my house? I have three very uneducated guesses: 1) Model S elegance has built in power surge protection of some sort like a fuse or like...

Hi all, In a Model S with 85kwh battery and fully charged in standard mode (not range mode), what will the maximum range be in miles? I know if charged in range mode the range would be around 265mi, but I'm interested in standard charging since that is what I'll be doing most of the time in...

All, forgive me please for being a little cantankerous and expressing my dissatisfaction with a hint of rude commentary about the Model S interior. Because I am in the market for an 1) EV and 2) that has a long range, only the Model S fits this criteria. Therefore, I will stick with the...

Hi, I'm #1246 here and awaiting delivery. I just read every word of the Conference Call that occurred on 25 Jul 2012. Here's my understanding of the conference call and how it relates to my future car and TSLA stock: 1) Facebook photo postings from my friends that eventually make their...

Hello, I am about to sign my paperwork for a Sig Perf, Silver exterior, black interior. Problem is: I can't decide on the paneling! I'm leaning heavily on Carbon Fiber, but it would be really helpful to see a photo of black interior and carbon fiber - which I haven't been able to see yet...

Is Trouble on the Way for Elon Musk and Tesla?: Video - Bloomberg The above link is a disappointing analysis. I can't believe Elon said he tries NOT to drive the Roadster in order to preserve battery life! I was planning on using the Model S every single day of my life for the next 8 yrs...

1) In early June, Tesla emailed and called and told me "congratulations"... they chose me from the waitlist to upgrade to the Sig version which I would receive in Aug/Sept. Just deposit $35k now. 2) I waited a few days and then declined b/c I wanted to see reviews of the car first - and also it...

With Tesla attempting to reach the mass market by making an "affordable" $50k car that ranges up to greater than $100k, I think this topic is important in understanding buyers' demographics. I know this topic may be semi-taboo, but that is the advantage of anonymity of the Internet. Without...

I know this sounds ridiculous! But: 1) Larry and Sergey are super highly involved with Tesla. 2) Google is becoming involved with every aspect of life: self driving cars, search, wallet, maps, docs, apps, etc etc. With the future of cars laid down by Tesla, wouldn't Google want to be also the...

Hello all, I am requesting your opinion. This is weird: 1) I'm a General Production reservation holder in the low 5 thousands. 2) I called to be put on the wait list for the Signature version but was told it was near impossible to get Signature version b/c the wait list was so long...
