Depending on how much I have zoomed in, this is what my map now looks like. New software pushes IMO are much poorer quality.

I am finding that each time TM releases software, my car (MS85) downloads it twice. Once as soon as it has come out, and then again a month or two later. It happened with 5.9. Yesterday, I got a software update notification. Sure enough, 6.0 again. I was already running 6.0. Anyone else...

I love everything about my MS. I absolutely detest the integration with Tunein, which is an unmitigated disaster IMO. Here's what happens with me: I like listening to talk radio (plug for radiolab - amazing show). My commute is about 20 minutes. Most of the podcasts I listed to are 30min...

I was perplexed at the difficulty my friends had in figuring out my plates

Not once. But then, I live in Silicon Valley. People here roll their eyes at yet another Tesla

I had put my key fob in my briefcase, and tossed it in the trunk. Got in the car, drove home. When I got home, the door closed. I went to the trunk, would not open. Fortunately, had the spare key and used that to open the car. Anyone else had this happen to them? -Siddharth

Pretty sure there's not setting, I've looked everywhere for it

This was working for a week, but somehow got disabled - anyone else see this? I don't know how to fix it

Picked up my car at the factory on 5/10. Had a hour long tour of the factory. It was quite incredible seeing the new robots they have put on the assembly line. Reminded me of skynet. Followed the path of creation of the car, from the rolls of aluminum coming in to its molding into what becomes a...

I'm doing a factory tour and picking up the car on 5/10 :-)

Same here.. Vin # 9683

Same here. I probably take the record for the last car ordered with the 2012 prices Reserved: April 2012 Invitation to configure: Nov 2012 Actually configured and ordered: March 22, 2013 Delivery button: 4/15/2013 Delivery Window: 5/3-5/17 Wallet Level: Empty 85kwh|blue|nappa...

After a week of intense waffling, I caved in and decided to buy. I was originally thinking of waiting another year and possibly switch to the X. But the $2.5k off tipped the scale for me [edit:] Blue, 85KWh, air, tan nappa, tech, audio (no pano or wall charger)

You're right, I was guesstimating. I'm sure there are other lurking expenses (e.g. 240 v install) that will add to this, so I was rounding up on things I was not sure on

Could someone who has already purchased the S help me understand the total cost? Everytime I think I have it and am ready to hit the finalize button, I realize that I forgot to factor in something. My config: 85Kwh, tan leather, metallic blue, tech package, sound studio, active air, pano, 19"...

After placing the order in 2009, my father's Tesla Motors - Model S is finally here!! (electric plug in car/vehicle) : pics

Calling a car an asset is a stretch IMO. An asset is something that puts money in your pocket. A liability takes money out.A car does not put money in your pocket. Agree with your second point. The way I see it is I can take my free cash and easily generate returns greater than the ~2% loan...

I need some help deciding what I should do here. The whole supercharger thing has thrown me for a loop. The way Tesla is positioning this is 'free supercharging for life'. The way my wallet is interpreting this is 'I will use it maybe twice a year, and assuming a life of 10 years for the...

#8217, just got my Tesla email, day after being named Motor Trends car of the year. I'm hyperventilating right now

Spoke with the owner (someone I know). The car was delivered on wednesday. Honestly, the gap did not seem bad to me when I looked at it closely

Saw this at work yesterday. I have a couple of other shots if anyone is interested

An update from Elon (10/3) An Update from Elon Musk | Blog | Tesla Motors highlights: - We expect Tesla to become cash flow positive at the end of next month. - I am pleased to report that we completed production of 359 vehicles last quarter (delivering over 250 of those to customers) and...

there was no mention of charge points there will be per supercharger station. Any ideas? it would suck to wait in a queue while others are getting charged

P 12052: booked September 16 2012 by a friend of mine. Looks like around 22 cars/day based on the count on Sep 9

I was looking to get amped, but got resisted instead. I tried to register within 10 minutes of getting the invite, no cigar. Sold out. I am aware that I'm groveling here, but if anyone take me as a guest, I'll buy you a Venti Latte

wsj blog coverage - Tesla Model S Electric Sedan (Review) - Speakeasy - WSJ So, fittingly, it’s a spaceship. The Model S is the most impressive feat of American industrial engineering since, well, a couple of months ago, when Mr. Musk’s SpaceX successfully launched and recovered a spacecraft...

Definitely not yet (P8217). I wonder if it will be sold out before an invite reaches me

starting a thread for those waiting to test drive in Palo Alto.. I have not received my invite yet. Have others received it?

I heard this from someone who was at the factory: cannot verify veracity Tesla reviewed logs of the test drives. One of the cars was clocked as going at 120 mph. A model S actually got into an accident. The customer claimed that the 'throttle misbehaved'. Tesla looked up the logs and told...

Does anyone know what 'regular maintenance' means for the S? I asked at the showroom in Menlo Park, and the answer I got was very vague (' you come in for software upgrades'). What other maintenance applies to the S? Tire rotation, adjustments, software upgrades.. Also, any ideas on how much...

Just got mine. I am in Menlo park, CA and was asked to test drive in LA. Bummer. Hope I get an invite for the one in Palo Alto middle of July reservation #8217
