Dat we in Nederland en België veel Model 3’s op de weg gaan zien, mag duidelijk zijn. We hebben een overzicht van individuele orders (1692 vanuit Nederland per 17 januari en 649 vanuit België per 31 januari). Tesla is gestopt met opvolgende factuurnummers, dus dat aantal zal niet verder oplopen...

In het Engelstalige subforum hebben ze een 'snippiness'-thread waarnaar posts worden verplaatst die erg knorrig zijn. Om de gewone threads geciviliseerd, respectvol en leuk te houden, roep ik nu met hetzelfde doel een 'knorrigheden'-thread in het leven. Reageren in deze thread kan niet. Laten we...

Nu de auto weer zo warm wordt wanneer die in de zon staat te bakken, overweeg ik de aanschaf van een zonnescherm voor het zonnedak. Het helpt ook tegen het voor mijn gevoel nog wat te felle zonlicht en misschien zelfs het windgeruis (een glazen dak is nu eenmaal wat minder stil dan een normaal...

I am staying in SF with my family for a few days and tomorrow (monday) we will have the factory tour at 10 AM. I heard that rush hour can be brutal. Will we reach Fremont in time (9.30) if we leave downtown SF (Sutter Street) at 8? Which bridge/route is the best option? Any advice is helpful...

For months now I've been trying to get in touch with someone in a higher management position at Amazon. To no avail. I guess it's easier to cross the DMZ between South Korea and North Korea than to get through to Amazon management. Now I do understand that there must be hundreds of people...

To all the naysayers who think Tesla is not doing or expecting to do well in Europe this must be a ominous sign: Tesla is opening a second location in Tilburg, The Netherlands. This was announced by the major's office. The new 43,000 m2 (463,000 square feet) building is located on the same...

- "Model S Not Ready For Commercial Use Prime Time." - "New Owner of Used P85 and battery failure just occured a few days ago." - "How embarrassing ! Did I get a lemon" Anyone interested in buying a Model S may think twice when he reads some of the topic titels on this forum. And even though...

Ik heb per e-mail een uitnodiging voor het Hawthorne-evenement op 9 oktober, waar waarschijnlijk de Model S Dual Drive en de finale versie van de Model X worden onthuld. Ik kan er niet naartoe en de meesten van ons die zo'n uitnodiging hebben gehad waarschijnlijk ook niet. Daarentegen zijn er...

As a European Model S Signature owner (no Model X reservation) I received my Hawthorne invitation by e-mail. It's too far away for me to attend, so I can't use it. On the other hand there are forum members who would like to go, but didn't get invited. That's a pity. So I am offering my...

As we all know by now March was a hectic month for Tesla-deliveries in Norway. This fascinating timelapse video (4 minutes) was made by one of the Tesla employees in Drammen, showing the hectic but most likely rewarding efforts to deliver as many cars as possible to happy customers. Tesla...

After all this focus on the three fires, it's important not to forget how safe the Model S is. There have been many crashes already, many pretty serious, and in most cases there has been no fire at all. And as fas as I can tell there has not been any serious injury yet. In case of a crash I...

One of the approx. 250 Model S delivered in The Netherlands was involved in a serious accident two days ago. The frontal collision caused quite some damage, but the driver wasn't hurt. The female driver of the van which he hit suffered injuries. The driver of the Tesla had to evade a third car...

I just bought (online) the new 21 inch Pirelli Sottozero 3 winter tires. Am I the first? Pirelli said they wouldn't come out before mid-november, but I saw them on stock (just 4 tires) at a big Dutch/German online tire shop and didn't hesitate. I should get the tires this week and will have...

I finally took delivery om my P85 today. It's a stunning car in many ways. One thing bothers me a bit though: at high speed the engine is pretty noisy and that's not what I expected. It's a deep monotone noise, coming from the back. It appears at speeds over 100 kmh (62 mph) and starts getting...

I was wondering: are there any Model S-owners who live close to a supercharger and only charge their car there (for free), and in the meantime have a bite, do some shopping nearby or maybe just browse in the car? It's probably only $10 or $15 worth of electricity, but still, a free 'tank' can...

On the Fiskerbuzz-forum a Karma- and Model S-owner, Dennis, says he heard the Menlo Park-store took 150 orders last weekend. Can anyone confirm that? If true that would be huge. Post: Tesla sells more cars than BMW, Mercedes! - Page 6 - Fisker Buzz Forums

Going through the SEC-filing for Q2 I found this very interesting piece of information: "our capability to rapidly swap out the Model S battery pack and the development of specialized public facilities to perform such swapping, which do not currently exist but which we plan to introduce in the...

This week the status of quite some European cars (mostly Signatures) has changed from 'Your order was sent to the Tesla factory' to 'The Tesla factory is building your car'. This is quite remarkable as Elon Musk recently said (in Norway) that European production would not start until June. Could...

It's number 10 on this (random) list: 10 cars we wish automakers would build - Yahoo! Autos Would be nice if Elon would give the go-ahead for such a spin-off (but ofcourse only after Model X and a pickup version of the Model S, as there will be more demand for those).

If we - in our own interest but also that of Tesla-employees and of EVs in general - are so concerned these issues 'leak out' to the press, then I don't understand why we post these issues here at all. Why do they have to be shared on a public forum? Why not inform Tesla directly? Tesla will...

As more and more people are taking delivery of their Model S, I was wondering what is the best way to preserve battery life. If you have a daily commute of, say, 2 x 30 miles you could drive to work for 4 or 5 days before you need to recharge. Is that the best choice? Or is it better to topp off...

George B on how to sell a car and not push it down the buyer's throat: This is part II of a series of three. I can't find part I (and think part III still has to come out)

On several cars that were shown at yesterday's event I've noticed that the trunk does not completely align with the back of the car (see pictures below). On the brown car you can see that the lines of the right tail light are not completely aligned (on the left one they are). The blue car has...

I've reserved a European Signature with 85 kWh battery pack. It's likely that Tesla will introduce even bigger packs in the future (as battery technology progresses and prices per kWh drop). Is it reasonable to expect that Tesla will offer these larger packs as a paid upgrade/retrofit for...

I reserved a Signature car (Europe) and was wondering if anyone knows why the Signature-series have a limited colour choice? Has Tesla ever said anything about that? I can imagine that, as they are being produced first, not all colours are available yet. But that would apply to American...
