Has anyone figured out a way to remotely activate the front/rear defrosters? Being able to turn on the cabin heating generally is of course fantastic, but sometimes defrosting the front and rear windows is what I real need. It is a shame that we don't yet have that functionality on the...

I pulled into a parking garage in Manhattan yesterday morning and was stunned to be turned away by the attendant. He was very apologetic, but said he had been instructed by the company not to accept Model Ss. When I asked why, he said he was told they were too expensive, and the liability and...

I hope to put my summer wheels/tires back in service this weekend. I am wondering whether I should mark the winter wheels/tires coming off the car in any particular way so that they get rotated correctly when I put them back in service in the fall? I assume you want to avoid the risk that...

Driving down a side street in my town this morning, I saw a group of 10-year-old boys about 200 yards ahead on skateboards/scooters. One of them saw we coming, pointed at the car, then ran out into the middle of the road to wave me down. I had a brief but fun interaction with them that still...

I plan to get a portable air compressor to check and adjust tire pressure with more regularity than I have done with my previous cars. I was looking at the Viair 00073 70P Heavy Duty Portable Compressor on Amazon. The product features section indicates that the car must have "a 15-ampere...

I took delivery on Tuesday evening. It is a Performance Sig equipped with 21" tires. I live in the Northeast and needed a 19" option for winter tires, but I want to maintain the look of the 21" wheels. I think I have come up with a pretty good solution that I wanted to share with the group...

I recently learned that folks who drive Jeep Wranglers exchange some sort of secret greeting when passing each other the road. As we start hitting the streets in our Model Ss, what will you do to acknowledge fellow Tesla drivers?

The Model S is too big to fit in my garage, so I will have to park it in my driveway. I plan to have a NEMA 14-50 outlet installed sometime in the next few weeks, and I need to decide where to put it. I can either mount a weatherproof outlet outside my garage door (which I expect would be...

Has anyone heard the horn on the Model S? Any impressions? It would be great if someone could post an audio clip (assuming audio is supported on the forum)
