    Teslas in Movies & TV

    i'm sure the sound editors (in the strain ep) were well aware that the tesla doesn't make much noise, the issue for them is the rhythm of cutting and cues that audiences are used to for years since the advent of sound movies (~1927), like the start of an engine or the shift into drive before...

    Anyone bored?

    not bored in the least, been two years and i still look forward to getting in the car each and every morning, no exaggeration. honestly, it's still exciting. which is weird, but i ain't complaining! :) and this is coming from bmw 5 series and a porsche, so not like i'm suffering from insane...

    Firmware 6.0

    suspension position indicator needed i'm really loving v6 (all dot versions :) ) and especially location-triggered suspension activation, been waiting for that for a while and it works like a charm. have to say, i'm very pleased with how accurate the geo-triggered functions on the model s are...

    Firmware 6.0

    on 59.13 as of yesterday am, still VERY happy with v6 overall.. one thing i want to mention is i had this morning my first ever door handle goofup in two years of ownership: walked up to car, handles didn't present, pressed driver's handle, it extended - the others didn't, which isn't typical -...

    Firmware 6.0

    Firmware 6.0

    +1. v65.11 showed up this am. i like. i like the new instrument panel look, seems easier to suss out, only seen at night so far tho.. and location aware suspension is... the bomb. excellent. would like some attention paid to the music apps and interfaces.. my podcasts still erroneously...

    Firmware 5.14

    morning all, sorry if this is common knowledge, i'm unaware.. is there a spreadsheet, wiki article, chart, that lists and correlates fw release and version numbers?, perhaps with earliest known release date? does that exist anywhere? thanks!

    Key fob cracking on top

    or just let it crack. the covers to two of my buttons peeled off months ago--despite the fact that i've pressed those buttons maybe a total of 20 times each in two years--however, the function of the fob and buttons is not impacted at all. now it just looks like the fob, but you can see two...

    Fast drivers?

    yep, i drive fast too (but safely), every chance i get, it's a pure joy and makes life worth living! my average is high, but my commute is small so i never have an issue and i get electrons from the sun so i don't give it a second thought. i have the 85kWh pack, nominally 300 mi/full charge...

    Charge Daily or Charge as needed?

    technically, yes, but almost all my household electricity comes from solar, so my priority is not pure efficiency but stress on the battery. and i charge at that time of day to be a good neighbor and use current when it is least impactful on the whole delivery system (grid). i don't remember the...

    Charge Daily or Charge as needed?

    i charge to 85% at 1am @24A (on a normal day this allows plenty of time to charge to 85% within the low usage hours of 12-6a; this also reduces wear from heat while minimizing the amount of time the car sits at maximum soc); usually i charge every other day with the determining factor being...

    er, i didn't mention anything, i just posted this cool pic of the dragon control surface. for fun. i myself am perfectly happy to sit back while tm get the work done they need to get done, i'm in no rush. love my car everyday, so no problem. anything else is gravy at this point. (ok, fix...

    Firmware 5.9

    weighing in to say i think the new hill-hold is great, works very well for me, solves roll back on steeper hills and having to switch pedals very quickly on start. i feel it's a very good implementation, and much much appreciated. for those posting with issues because you are used to driving...

    Firmware 5.9

    indeed. i'm 1610 and just got 5.9 (.94) today as well. installed while i was getting my hair cut. i like the changes. good update. and, fwiw, i have installed most, like 6 out of 7 (or whatever # i've done), updates while not at home.. so when on the road, or at work or an appt that was...

    Firmware 5.8.6/7/8/9/10

    this may be related, i discovered a few months ago, sorry don't remember the release version but, at some point tm augmented the auto-stop feature to include the seatbelt sensor. i used to be able to hop in the car and back out of the garage, shifting slightly in my seat to see, with no issues...

    turn signal level squishiness

    phil, i think some may be misinterpreting your issue, but i think i know what you're talking about. occasionally, the blinker stalk when manually needing a reset to center (as when doing a long lane change, or if you have turned a corner that turns out not to have sufficient radius to auto...

    Will Tesla support CarPlay?

    yes, i'm hoping this is what they do as well. i have enquired twice with ownership and both times the response was that there were no plans currently for integrating iOS in the car (as it was then known) in the model S. i too suspect this was a part of the meeting tim cook and elon recently...

    Living with Solar and Model S

    nice system andyd. i have an 8kW system here in los angeles, grid-tie, sma inverter and aleo panels (both excellent imo. very happy.) zero issues with power, tesla-related or otherwise, it is seamless. i also have outback and evergreen in the cabin in maine, a stand-alone battery system, and...

    Temperature control

    yeah, my car is almost as old as yours, i had a service tech confide that the early production units have the interior temp sensor in a different (not so smart) place as compared to the current ones. i think originally the sensor was near the steering wheel shaft, and now it's in the ceiling...

    tune-in, drop out

    this is possibly mentioned elsewhere but i couldn't find it.. i am having a recurring issue with the tune-in service (not sure if occurs with slacker also as i rarely use it these days) and that is when listening to a podcast and nearing the end the system will frequently "fast-forward" to the...

    iOS in the Car

    yes, this really needs to happen. my last exchange with cust service on this point ended in them saying there were no concrete plans to integrate iOS in the car at this point. i noted that that seemed foolish. no response on my comment, :) my point is, write to ownership and express your...

    Security Question

    honestly, in over a year of driving this car i have not thought once about the possibility of someone stealing it because the fob was nearby. head-slapping goofs, like forgetting your key on a hook near enough to the car that it starts, aside, any scenario where an actual thief is going to...

    Petition to rollback 5.8s suspension behavior modification at high speeds

    i don't get all this petition noise.... what is the panic about 3/4" of ride height (or whatever it is)?? what is the concern here? slightly higher coefficient of drag?? a couple fewer miles of range on the highway? you'll get it back in a couple months. is driver safety and major PR fire...

    Air Suspension no longer lowers at highway speeds (FW update v5.8)

    yes. should be an option/checkbox/slider switch. i would still like it to auto lower at highway speeds, unless i manually lock it out (say if i'm on a debris filled road.. lol). can it be manually lowered once at highway speed and stay there, until low speed threshold crossed? i...

    accident with cyclist in Santa Cruz

    yeah, that was my point. i was acknowledging that we read about a lot of tesla-related accidents because it's a tesla board, but nevertheless, it's heart-sickening. (i referred only to model s's cause that's what i read about, but i'm sure there're plenty of roadster-involved incidents, obv.) i...

    accident with cyclist in Santa Cruz

    raffy, hey wasn't referring to anyone specifically on that point, and certainly i'm sure i'm misunderstanding on a number of points. it's simply the aggregate effect. thanks for replying about it and i couldn't complain about something being posted in the way you describe. so thanks.

    accident with cyclist in Santa Cruz

    i haven't posted in a while.. cause i've been busy, and cause the internet of things is getting a little much. hardly a board out there at this point without so many trolls and know-nots that just reading through a thread is a sanity-crumbling exercise. but i had to comment here. one, i...

    Owner 2 days, charge port failure

    i know some people have had actual part failure issues with this, but i think it's pretty rare -- what i think is happening in many cases is that the port door and the port plugs sometimes just need a little breaking in, they are 'stiff' from the factory. opening and closing the door several...
