I just got a new OEM (from Tesla) windshield replacement on my 2012 Model S. I am wondering if there is any practical benefit to having having tinting applied to the windshield, or if the windshield is already coated well enough that it blocks nearly all UV and if adding the tint is pointless...

Has anyone had a shop install the rear lighted emblem around the Puget Sound area? How much did it cost? Lighted Emblem for Tesla Model S I've had it sitting around for a few weeks now, I'm not sure when I'm going to be able to do it, so I figure I should find out what options are there for...

So my dad finally got his 90D X yesterday, and I was looking it over. I found this hole on the underside of this surface on the left side of the trunk, in the same spot where the LED light is on the right side. If I reach inside the hole, it feels like there's a little rubber tab thingy, and it...

I am trying to figure out what options there for permanently extending a NEMA 14-50 outlet. I found this (Heavy-duty NEMA 14-50 extension cord for Tesla, 20 ft.) on the forums, but I don't think that's going to be long enough. Back in 2012, I had a NEMA 14-50 installed in my parent's third car...

The official Tesla shop has a 1:18 scale Model S (Tesla — 1:18 Scale Diecast P85 Model S). I am considering buying one and having someone that paints tabletop gaming miniatures to paint it so that it looks like my car. I would get the Signature Red color because its interior is the same as my...

It didn't take long for the brake calipers on my 2012 Model S to look faded and the non-braking part of the rotors to look rusty. ForMyTesla.com has a kit for painting these (Caliper Paint Kit – For My Tesla), but I don't want to do it myself. Any recommendations in the Puget Sound area?

So T Sportline is coming out with some 20" wheels soon. Given that there are actually some non-performance tires available for this size (http://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireSearchResults.jsp?width=245%2F&ratio=40&diameter=20&rearWidth=255%2F&rearRatio=40&rearDiameter=17&zip-code=), I'm mildly...

Does anyone know what the current line conditions are like at either the Bellevue or Seattle location?

After the Live reveal/delivery event started, multiple sites posted Model X articles that contain many of the same details revealed during the event, which must have been under embargo until tonight's event. Multiple articles have been stating the base price as being $130k with no other...

I ordered these 19" metallic gray wheels from T Sportline: TST Tesla Aftermarket Wheel 19x8.5. Last Thursday (7/24), FedEx supposedly delivered all four wheels (each had a separate tracking number showing driver-confirmed delivery). When I got home, I only found three of the four wheels on my...

This is off-topic, but I don't really know of a better place to ask this. Last night, maybe a little before 9 pm, I saw an Audi R8 (brand new with temp tags) and a Lamborghini (driving in the opposite direction, I didn't really get a good look at, but it could've been a Huracan, and was...

Check these out: MGP Caliper Covers | Aftermarket Accessories for Tesla Model S First of all, I applaud these guys for coming up with these options. It seems like a great, fairly simple way to get custom caliper colors. I'm sure there will be several Model S owners buying these. That said, I...

I want to get my brake calipers painted not because I want some fancy custom color, but because after more than a year of use, the original black/grey calipers on my car have become faded/discolored. Does anyone have a recommendation for a shop that can do it in the Puget Sound region?

I was listening to AM radio this morning when I pulled into the parking garage at work, which I am now surprised to realize that I hadn't done that before. The AM radio immediately cut out, with some light fuzz sound remaining. However, I smiled when I realized that the static sound became...

Well I didn't really chicken out because Elon had to leave right before I asked my question, but I don't think I would have gone through with it anyway. I almost wanted to ask Elon why Tesla doesn't put a wind turbine behind the grill of the Model S as a joke before I asked my real question.

So for looking at the short interest in TSLA (or any other stock for that matter), is this really the only way to do it? Tesla Motors, Inc. (TSLA) Short Interest - NASDAQ.com It's only updated twice a month. I am surprised that there is not more fine grained reporting available. Can some of...

On Friday, TESLIVE exhibitions are from 2 - 7 pm on Friday, with a "networking reception" also being held from 6 - 9 pm. I am spending my time outside of the in San Francisco and I am wondering if there is any reason I should try to show up to TESLIVE right at 2 pm on Friday. Otherwise, I was...

There seems to be some basic info missing from the TESLIVE site. Does it start and end every day at the Crowne Plaza hotel? I don't think this is stated explicitly, or maybe I'm just being thick. Will I have to get myself to the Tesla factory at any point? If so, what's the exact address...

I want to see if I can replace the side blinkers with LEDs in a way that will illuminate the whole piece evenly. I had a film wrap installed earlier this year and the installers were able to pop off the side blinkers in order to apply the wrap neatly behind them. They told me that they just...

If you get the upgraded sound system, there are 12 speakers (standard has 7). Where are they? I see two on the A-pillars, four on the doors, and two at the very back on the lift gate. That's eight. Assuming there's a subwoofer somewhere, that's nine. I didn't count the grill that you see on...

I'm going to the Emerald City Comicon on Saturday, which is held in the Washington State Convention Center. I've used the WSCC/Freeway park garage before, and I do not feel like I want to take my Model S there. Does anyone have good recommendations for parking near the area? I don't really...

Anyone have any recommendations? I have the Tesla-installed paint armor, but I want to get paint armor for the full hood, the front fenders, and the windshield too. I already have a rock chip on a front fender, and I haven't even had the car for a week yet. Tesla should sell touch up paint.

ChadS posted that he will have his Sig Model S there. I don't know what color his is. Does anyone know what other Model Ses might show up? I'm hoping to see a brown one in person. I've already configured my car, but I'm still not entirely satisfied with my color choice, and I think I could...

.. I really want to know, what happens if, while driving the car, you throw the key fob out the window? :scared:

So I have been on the official Tesla forums for a while, but I decided that I should finally come check out where all the action is. I have been interested in the Model S for a really long time, and I finally made a reservation last November. That gives me a pretty late reservation sequence...
