Questions about the latest update I couldn’t find elsewhere: Did they fix the bug with the mobile app with wheels disappearing if you remove the aero covers on 18” wheels? I removed the aero cover on the wheels for looks. I like the image of the car that shows in the console and reality to...

Looking at the Sandy Munro rear area teardown he found tow hitch wiring and packed to the side. this is good news for folks as it may mean that putting in the hitch may be just a matter of bolting it up and presenting the wires correctly, versus adding wires...

All I hear is “MY MY MY”. MY color, MY seats, MY cargo volume, MY tow hitch, MY wheels, MY acceleration, MY mirror dimming. Is everything really about YOU? There are other people in this universe, y’know.

Wondering if folks ordering the 7 seat config will also be ahead of schedule. One can hope! (Expectations are set for 2021, so I’m settling in, laying back, and mentally ready to be in this waiting room around 10mo). MY AWD LR 7s Red on Black FSD

My nephew (16yo!) surprised me with a DIY project of making an electric cart. He got his own motor, read battery pack design books, found eBike bms and charging controllers, assembled his pack, designed and is soldering his own frames, etc. he goes to a waldorf school and this is his 2-year...

Currently in Model 3s opening the trunk causes a cascade of water to the rear glass which then accumulates and flows down fast, past all rubber seals, into the trunk. (It is exacerbated by ceramic coatings that allow a lot of fast water flow and accumulated beads on the trunk) Hope opening the...

Hey- I am slightly embarrassed because I should know this, but I can’t find a definitive answer. where does ap currently get it’s speed limits from? How can I fix it? Specifically, I need to fix one near our house where AP will abruptly slow down on a 4-lane road indicating a max speed from 45...

Hey , FYI for those of you that have/had/would like to have/ one of these nifty vehicles but were turned off by the lack of fast charging, QuickChargePower just released their "Add ChaDeMo" product. Mercedes B-Class ED / B250e <- Link to QuickChargePower site. I have found the B-class to be a...

There is a slight chance I may run into him this week- what sort of questions do you all may have that are interesting, relevant to SpaceX, and his activities? If the conversation happens, and goes there, glad to relay.

For those who'd like to engage with the WSDOT process. Washington Transportation Plan One can send feedback via email using an attached spreadsheet or an online survey thingie, by Nov 6. A lot is high level blabla, but here is an excerpt:

[Wasn't sure which subforum to post this in, so posting it here] Has anyone noticed any changes in the pricing of the CPO for Model S with the launch of Model X? I'm wondering if now, as deliveries accelerate, and later, if it will cause changes in inventory size, type and price. I wonder...

Are they model-S-ish or do they have the squarish apple watchey/ipod nano embedded screenthingies. Also, what stalk orientation does it have?

I predict people will want to start analyzing deliveries, production, etc Honestly I thought the model S process was a bit messy. The forum posts and self-edit spreadsheet were support intensive and had issues. This is just a new thread to bring those interested in the process to start...

Some B-Class experience notes that may be relevant to Tesla owners / prospect owners: Note: These are for the 2014 model with premium package, range package, media, and some other options. No parktronic. Lease and delivery EchoDelta, Seattle Area MB of Portland, 2300 down + 350/mo...

Hi - A question to the experienced ones here.. I was wondering whether the purchase in WA of a UMC should be exempted for sales taxes. Alternative Fuels Data Center and the matching form seems to be http://dor.wa.gov/Docs/Forms/ExcsTx/ExmptFrm/BuyersRetailTxExmptCert_E.pdf Here is...

I think we are all really excited for the release of the Model X, which aligns with our desires on many levels - to achieve planetary shifts in energy use, cause a general enjoyment of driving, not the least to display superiority to front-hinged or internal-combusted vehicles. I was thinking...

A friend in Seattle is considering getting a BMW i3 as a Tesla Temporizer but as far as I know in this region the SAE plug is a nail with no hammers. In plugshare I only found 17 in the continental US - in CA (SFO/SJC and LAX/SAN). Looking forward: Does anyone know if there are plans for any of...

And learn about all the cool options and features like the exterior wood paneling. Will it come with matte and glossy options too? Ah the suspense.

Hi, just brief FYI on how the evolution of the "green power" program (what you get with REC purchases) was for 2013. For those of us that live "in the shade" (i.e. hidden under trees) and can't invest in community solar projects, it gives the option to instruct our utility to purchase our Wh...

What volume should be clear in the garage to allow the Model X Falcon Wing Doors and Trunk to open fully? I am assuming the trunk door could be software limited to height. We don't have confirmation the doors will do the same (and what "outward" clearance does that require). This affects me...

Model M :-) Just saying. It's not like you have great alternatives on the red planet. And long distance travel there is likely to be more ground- based too. On the other hand, deliveries start a really long time from now, only 5 signature models will be built, and it is expensive as hell to...

I consider it is. While I wholeheartedly think it is important to have an efficiency metric on which to compare vehicles, I think MPGe is an abomination foisted on consumers by the ICE incumbents (car and oil companies) to confound efficiency discussions and to reduce perception of efficiency...

HI all - a little piece of good news is that Harborview hospital (our regional Level 1 trauma center) is installing Blink chargers in at least one parking lot (I have to check others). Just added it to plugshare, they are located under the building to the right coming in via Terry. This is...

Would love to see more Model S cars in the wild around here.

I have been since they started with the REC program, but would like to know how many of you know about your electricity provider's REC program (PSE is branded "Green Power") how many of you use it, (and if not.. why not!) Changing your sources of electricity How To Change a Light Bulb...

Hi all, I'm posting a question for model S owners (I'm a model X reservation holder). I have another ICE/EV hybrid and member of a bunch of charging station networks. All of these offer J1772 plugs. If I make a longish trip, and want to charge, - Can someone post a picture of the Model S...
