Wanted to start a thread for sharing our service center experiences. I've had my car into the service center several times for odds and ends since picking it up May 3. Each time I have been exceedingly impressed with the entire experience. The staff is wonderfully friendly, helpful and...

Anyone else have this problem and/or know of a fix? My car has developed a cricking sound from the passenger's A-pillar in the area cirica the speaker and the lower windshield. I call it a crick as opposed to a creak because it is more of a click than a squeak. Quite disturbing in what was...

I'm trying to determine if this issue can be crossed off the Punch List I moderate over on the TM forum. Would appreciate feedback. People with condensation in tail lights have been able to have it fixed for the asking. The question is whether Tesla tweaked things such that the issue no...

Haven't seen a post on this in a long time. Wondering if I can cross this off the Punch List I moderate over at the Telsa forum. Recent car recipients: Do you have an ambient light buzzing when the lights are turned down low? Original car recipients: Has your ambient light buzzing problem...

Driver profiles now part of tech package, not leather seats -- Confirmed Looks like they may be moving seat memory from the leather seats to the tech package: Seat memory has been removed from the leather seats on the Options & Pricing page. Seat memory has been added to the tech package on...

Not ever having owned a classy car before, I'd appreciate any tips from knowledgeable folks about the most efficient way to keep Model S looking great from a total cost of ownership and time spent perspective. I'm relatively naive about taking care of a nice looking car and don't have time or...

Anyone received a car with lacewood interior who mind posting some pictures? I've done the site search and scoured the threads and there are very few photos around. Thanks!

There were a flurry of posts about this a few weeks ago but nothing much recently so I'm wondering if this issue been resolved for those who encountered it, possibly in software update 4.0 or 4.1? If not, what has Tesla's response been to you about it? Are they working on a fix or is this...

If you have received a car with the standard textile interior, what are your impressions? Are you pleased with it? Would you recommend it to others? Do you wish you would have gotten leather instead? Any and all comments welcome. Thanks.

There were several posts on the Tesla forum about people anticipating receiving delivery of 85 kWh cars without the Tech Package in the last half of December. If you have received a car without the Tech Package would you mind commenting on what kind, if any, of navigation came on your car...

A fair number of non-sig cars have now been delivered. Has anyone received a car with the standard sound system yet? If so would you please comment on it? Thanks!

Since most all cars have shipped without the parcel shelf which will be forthcoming I'm wondering what owners feel about not having it. Do you find you can live comfortably without the security the parcel shelf provides hiding items in the back? Are you inconvenienced by having to store...

The new Options and Pricing web page now shows the January 1 prices ($49,900 / $59,900 / $69,900) but still shows the 8 way non-heated front seats standard. To be consistent with George B's blog which says price increases will not go into effect till Jan 1 the site either needs to rescind the...

There have been reports of the parcel shelf not being delivered with some cars. I'm trying to assess whether this is a problem in a handful of cars or is a relatively universal problem across all cars at this point. If you have received your car and ordered the parcel shelf has it been...

A post on the TM forum indicates a number of car recipients are experiencing problems with low or next to no sound from the rear speakers. I'm trying to assess whether this is a problem in a handful of cars or if it is a relatively universal problem across most cars. If you have received your...

If Romney gets elected it is very possible he will move to kill the $7500 EV tax credit and perhaps quite quickly. This raises several questions: How soon could it be rescinded, i.e. when is the earliest in 2013 cars put into service would no longer qualify? If the law is passed mid-year...

There have been some questions about where the 12V battery is. Here are three pictures that I believe were posted elsewhere on this site some time ago. I cannot remember which thread or to whom to give credit. I hope the person who took them does not mind that they are reposted here. Any...

EPA range on the RAV4 EV is officially 103 miles. It has a 41.8 kwh battery, bigger than Model S' 40 kwh. It supposedly uses the same drive train as the Model S. It certainly is not as aerodynamic. But it might weigh less. This has me a bit confused about expected Model S 40 khw range...

We know that both standard suspension and smaller batteries will delay delivery. At P#2993 I have an "Early 2013" delivery estimate with a standard suspension and 60 kwh battery which is very reasonable. But I'm curious in general how Tesla is blocking production based on the combination of...

This is a spin off of a post I made under the Opportunity Console thread about the "Rear Console" option Tesla gave us to comment on. Check it out for a couple pictures of examples of tight mesh style storage pockets. (Added Aug 6-more pictures.) Here's the gist from that thread: This type...

There have been a number of rumors about it so I emailed my wonderful rep with questions about a couple changes in the Specs page since March. There is now no longer any mention of rear seat LED reading lights or LED illuminated mirrors on the sun visors. Here is his response in its entirety...

Apparently the panoramic roof was originally designed without a sunshade and the sunshade was added after feedback from the forums last year. Now that people in the test drives have seen how effectively the panoramic roof blocks both heat, light, and by extrapolation UV, it may be that the...

The shelf under the 17" display is probably a welcome step in the right direction from the standpoint of most folks, myself included. However, it does not address the need for concealed storage in reach of the driver. Anything on the shelf will be visible to potential thieves. It is entirely...
