    Charging cable with 2023 card

    Correct. I am in the US. The Tesla rep upon delivery told me not supplying any cable applies to cars in US. Not sure about what Tesla does in other countries.

    Charging cable with 2023 card

    Picked up 2023 Model Y today (10/31/23) while trading in my 2013 Model S. When I looked over my new Y I asked where is the charging cable? I was told cables no longer come with cars. I went back to my old Model S and removed my old charging cable plus the bag of adapters that came with the car...

    Funny note found under my windshield wiper!

    Well, we can assume it was not Lance Armstrong that left the note. He gave his left nut in late '90s.

    Nope, but there is another thread, I believe under News, that contains lots of similar posts, incuding mine. Your would think TM would at least post something indicating the status.

    TM.Com Forum Down? Anyone else unable to access the discussion forum on the teslamotors.com website? I can click MyTesla/Forum but that takes me back to the Tesla home page. Happens on both computer ans iPad, so seems like the site must not be working or the forum is down.

    Repairing Crease in Frunk

    I have no knowledge any of this is related to the crease issue, but I had a loaner brought to my house so the SC could rotate my tires. This is the fourth time I have had a loaner for this reason, but this was the first time the valet driver took a close walk around my car, noting every little...

    Is the Tesla discrete enough?

    I, too, am a mechanical engineering consultant. I showed up at a client's plant site in my Model S and the first thing I hear from my point of contact is "we're paying you too much". We laughed, then I said with all the gas savings, I am actually able to charge less than others :smile:. Then...

    How many have had the "7 O'clock Stalker"?

    One time on a 3-lane road with me in the middle lane a young couple raced up behind me, hung back for a few minutes, then moved to 5:00 position a few minutes, back behind me, then moved to the 7:00 position, before pulling all they way around in front of me. All the time the female passenger...

    Made the car alarm go off

    I thought the same thing. Is the alarm just the horn honking intermittently? Do the lights flash, too? 18 months of ownership and I have never set off the alarm.

    Defending Tesla has ended a Friendship of mine

    RE: Fires - isn't the average rate of ICE cars in U.S. Catching fire 1 car per 30 seconds? Maybe ask your ex-friend if his car comes with both fire extinguishers and escape respirators. Sorry it came to this, but for your sake I think it is best. His loss.

    Model S to be Featured March 30th on 60 Minutes

    Watching the Preview on the 60 Minutes app, this story looks to be more about Elon, starting with his PayPal days, Space X and Tesla. This conflicts a bit with the TV ad that makes it seem like the segment will be about the Model S. So it is probably a combination of Elon with some focus touting...

    Anyone have a Tesla in the Mountains?

    That would be Upper Bear Creek, which is a narrow, twisty, winding road. The S handles like a floating magic carpet ride along the creek. Beautiful drive, too. There are two MS owners that live back that way, too.

    Yes, Evergreen, CO. Live at 8,000 feet on the foothills West of Denver. The Model S does great in the mountains. My favorite part is coming up I-70W from Denver where there is a 6-mile climb from Morrison exit to Genessee Park (~3000 ft. Climb), and I set the cruise control and the car never...

    Tesla moments

    My moment was on Day 1 of delivery. My wife and I took Joules out for a few-hour tour. Returning home on I-70W past Golden, CO, the road has a 6-mile, 3,000 ft climb. Halfway up I see a Lexas sedan gaining quickly on me, so not wanting to speed more than I was, I moved into the middle of 3...

    So How Much Does It Cost? (my most hated question)

    I always say it costs 100%, but then you get Federal and Colorado tax credit. No one has ever followed up that reply with "what is 100%", as I think they feel embarrassed asking in the first place.

    I, too, been with State Farm for 35 years with all my policies. Last week I got my renewal on my Model S insurance. My rate actually went down a little from the first year. Live in Evergreen, CO, which is where my agent is, too. Amazing how coverage varies all over the place.
