    Model 3 Handover Event -- July 28, 2017

    Agreed! But no way that MKBHD wasn't going to win with 4.7m YouTube subscribers.

    Elon getting into the tunneling business!

    So at the Hyperloop competition today Elon confirmed what this is all about. Because he's got nothing better to do right now (!), he wants to improve tunneling technology. They are looking for a 500%-1000% improvement in tunneling speed. They have started digging a vertical shaft at the...

    Supercharger - Turkey Lake, FL

    Last time I used Turkey Lake (about two weeks ago), all the stalls were in use and seemed to be working fine. Port St Lucie 2A was broken...

    bubbles on touchscreen

    Thanks ecarfan. Found the thread. Touchscreen: Mositure/Leak? Mine is only 32k miles and 3.5 yrs old so still within warranty. Will call service tomorrow.

    bubbles on touchscreen

    Got into my 2012 Model S today and noticed that it the top of the 17" screen it looks like it is melting in either corner. It looks like some kind of film attached to the back of the glass is failing and peeling away or melting. Anyone else seen anything like this?

    Model X Founder Series - Facts

    AnalysiZ - I dropped a note to Tesla HQ about powerall credits a couple of months back and didn't hear anything, until out of the blue last week I got an email from the powerwall installation team asking me if I wanted the credits or the installation. The email, which may be US-specific...

    Chassis CAN Logging To ASCII Text Plus Graphing

    Hey Bill. I got the cable as part of the 'myEV' data logger from myCarma - originally an indiegogo campaign. Find the Most Fuel Efficient Car for You | MyCarma I think they made the cables in house to get around the ODB-II problems on the Model S. I checked the site and there's no indication...

    Chassis CAN Logging To ASCII Text Plus Graphing

    [deleted and re-added to removed extra copies of graphs] Here are a couple of graphs from my P85 (VIN 2298, A Pack) using Bill's logger. First run was a FF - lots of wheel spin. Fourth run was a slow feed in of the accelerator which eliminated wheel spin, but because recording didn't trigger...

    Chassis CAN Logging To ASCII Text Plus Graphing

    Bill - PM me if you want me to bring my P85 up to you tomorrow or later this week. Happy to get you some data. It is one of the original A-Pack cars.

    Chassis CAN Logging To ASCII Text Plus Graphing

    Given how similar the 90 vs 85 results are, is it too far beyond the realm of possibility to think that some of the newer 85s are actually software limited 90s? Tesla may have switched to new cell chemistry much earlier than publicized but not wanted to advertise the new size for...

    Who want's a Founders Model X - I've decided to pass on mine

    Hey all. To clarify a few things: I don't know of any way to transfer the RN. I've never tried to do anything like this, so we'll need to work together to figure out delivery location, taxes, etc. etc. Because it is a founders it can be configured immediately and will go into production pretty...

    Who want's a Founders Model X - I've decided to pass on mine

    Hey all. After MUCH soul searching I've decided I'm not going to take up my 'Founders by Referral' Model X - so it is up for grabs. It hasn't been configured yet, so the lucky owner gets to choose whatever config they want, and get the very limited Founders edition. So, if you are...

    Vin 0062x pickup in Tampa 12/23 at 6pm

    Think you might be wrong Scott. Based on postings in the various forums it looks like there will be a ton of deliveries between Xmas and the new year, and a few hundred more still at the factory.

    Model X Founder Series - Facts

    Anyone care to hazard a guess why the dark wheels aren't an option for the founders cars. I ** really ** want dark on mine. Wonder if Tesla will let me swap them at delivery time, with zero miles on them?

    PAST EVENT: Tesla Shootout at StreetCarDrags Palm Beach International Raceway

    Hey Brooks. Do you think the chargers will actually be working this year and accessible? Last year I think we only found one that was actually working and not hogged by an RV. BTW - am getting a Founders P90DLX also. Not sure I'll have it in time...

    Just had my annual service on my P85 at the West Palm Beach, FL, service center. I got two new tires and asked them to do an alignment. Tires:$375 each. Service: $600. Four-wheel alignment: $120

    Model X Founder Series - Facts

    Got the call today. As others have said, price is for the P90D with no options. Standard Founders car is fully spec'd (like a Sig) - all options except ludicrous, tow package and cold weather package. Any trim, any wheels, any seat config, any color including Sig Red Ludicrous, tow package and...

    2013 low p20000 VIN pre-owned coming. Anything I should know?

    Is it a CPO car or just used? Any car in the first 18 months is liable for inconsistencies. Check everything (if all else fails, use my delivery checklist) Ask if the titanium shield is installed Make sure it has the rear parcel shelf and decent floor mats - they sometimes didn't get included...

    TMC Connect - Ricardo Reyes questions

    Thanks for organizing, Bonnie. My question would be about the overall communications strategy to Owners. From our side of the fence I think most people would agree it has been one of Tesla's weakest aspects. From my perspective it seems ad hoc, reactive, often late (or not at all), and...

    Lighted rear appliqué with special effects - appreciation dinner with creators

    Hey Paul - there's a Mexican called Pedro's (Pedro's Restaurant & Cantina, 3935 Freedom Cir, Santa Clara, CA 95054) just up the road (1 mile) from the hotel that takes group bookings. Don't suppose you have any idea how many people might want to go?

    More than happy to have you charge at my house in Boca. I'm just of Dixie, so pretty close to where you might be. You can drop your car off and I'll take you back to Deerfield, then bring you back when the charging is done. Let me know. I might be traveling in mid Fed, so let me know the...

    P85D vs. P85 Efficiency Testing

    I spoke to the plug manufacturer and there is no matching part. The plug is designed to plug into a device, and is not a simple make/female connector.
