Drove down to San Marcos, TX (south of Austin) from Northwest Indiana this weekend to visit in-laws. Started on Friday afternoon, stopped overnight in St. Louis and OK City (4 and 6-year old traveling with us). Destination charging in both STL and OKC, worked like a charm. Every Supercharger...

Short story: I ordered my P100D a few weeks ago to upgrade from my 2013 P85 (one of the rare green ones!). Got an email from Tesla this evening stating they have two vehicle that almost exactly match my custom build (only difference is interior colors, meh, I don't care about that). One car has...

teslaweather.com is now location aware! I'm not sure if anyone is even using this site anymore, but with the addition of geolocation in 5.9, you don't have to manually enter your zip code any more. If you get out of the car, the browser now automatically reloads whatever page you last had...

I just got off the phone with Tesla service and I'm a bit miffed. I was just told that they've changed their policy on loaner vehicles. I am just about to hit 12,500 (at 12,100 now), so I called to schedule my annual maintenance. Although I'm still "in range" to have a Ranger come out and pick...

My Media App no longer displays any track information for streaming Bluetooth audio. I'm using an iPhone 5, running iOS 7. I upgraded to iOS 7 when it was first released, but two weeks ago is when the info stopped displaying on the touchscreen. I tried unpairing/repairing my phone, rebooting my...

Just showed up on the Tesla Model S store... Shop Tesla Gear CHAdeMO Adapter

I used to be able to approach the back of the car, press the trunk release switch (the one right above the license plate) for about a second, and it would unlock the car (extending the handles) without opening the rear hatch. After upgrading to 4.5, the trunk now opens. Does anyone know of a...

I designed a short spring-op coin holder that fits in the cup holder and allows the arm rest to slide over top of it. If you've got access to a 3D printer, you can download the STL files here. It's not necessarily the best solution, because since it's so short, it doesn't really hold a ton of...

I picked up my license-plate mounted IPass transponder this morning from a tollway oasis. When I turned in my old transponder and told the lady what I needed, she asked, "What kind of car is this for?" I responded, "A Tesla Model S". She said, "Oh yeah, we get a lot of those". Lucky for me, I...

Shop Tesla Gear Drop-In Center Console Not available until the summer, and no preordering :frown: Hopefully, this will come in lower than the CCI, but I doubt it.

Thought I would share the website I built that displays the weather in a half-screen-friendly web window. The website is designed to grab the closest current weather conditions to your location as well as the closest looping NEXRAD radar image. The page will refresh every 15 minutes (the length...

(Not sure if this belongs in one of the existing threads, so I'm sure the mods will move if necessary.) For the first time in my life, I finally own a car that I'm compelled to actually take care of beyond the yearly detailing and monthly trips thru the automatic car wash. As there are an...

Tesla just updated their Model S online store. They added the 6-50 adapter a few days ago, but now you can also buy the 14-50 and 5-15 adapters. Still no winter floor mats :crying:

I've got a touch of OCD (my wife loves it because I always do the dishes). I was disappointed that the audio system doesn't yet support playlists or recognize my iPod Touch. I have a 2-year-old daughter that has some very strict musical requirements for our daily drive to day care (OCD, just...

Since there seems to be a lot of interest in setting a Tesla record, whether it is last Sig to be delivered or first 60kW to be delivered, I am curious to know who thinks they'll be the last "early December Delivery" to be delivered. In other words, only those position holders who responded...

Maybe it's hyper-sensitivity to the whole delivery process, or there just aren't many Model S drivers in the midwest, but does anyone else get the feeling that Elon might have had a bad experience at one time in Chicago, and is therefore not shipping us any cars?

Just curious if anyone else in the Chicagoland area is taking Tesla up on the Early Delivery offer. I just completed the Delivery process on myTesla, and am slated for a Dec15-Dec31 delivery. I was curious as to how Tesla would coordinate such a huge 11th hour push like this, and can only...

Anyone hear any rumors about what the winter tires will do to range? I remember reading somewhere that the 21" wheels come with a 5% reduction in range, but can't seem to find any comparable info on the Pirelli's.

With all the threads talking about winter driving, snow tires, etc., it got me thinking... does anyone know if Tesla is going to offer winter floor mats? Salt collecting on the exterior of a car is one thing, but it will absolutely destroy carpet floor mats in just a few short years. I have...

I live in Indiana, and I've always thought that we were a bit slow to adapt to "new things" (I imagine we'll be one of the last states to get a Tesla Store). Luckily, I live very close to Chicago, and the Oak Brook Tesla store is only 65 miles away. Imagine my surprise when I was having a...

I just received an e-mail that the Model S Beta will be at the Oakbrook Store at the end of this month. It's about a two hour drive for me, and I'm already in line for a Model S. I've never seen the beta. With the anticipated launch of the new design center at the end of this month, is it really...

There has been talk about a webcast for the unveiling, and I was curious if anyone might have a link yet? I could find absolutely no mention of it on Tesla's website. Is this an in-store-only event, or will they be sharing the love with those unable to make it to Cali?

So I bit the bullet a few weeks ago and paid the reservation deposit, and today I invested in TSLA. I am finally at a point in my life where I can "afford" a luxury car, and I've been coveting the Tesla brand since I first read about the Roadster many years ago. The Model S will be the first...
