Picked up a new 90D inventory this past week and was planning on Turo'ing my P85 but the amount of effort seems too high to do that, so pretty sure I'd like to sell instead.
2013 P85 purchased from Tesla as a CPO in July 2015 - VIN P05283
Pearl White w/ Tan Leather Seats
Ultra Hi-Fi Sound

A group of graduate students I know from Harvard and MIT are looking for volunteers to participate in a machine learning / data-mining project designed to give new insights about driving, performance, routing, etc. to drivers of Tesla automobiles.
They're seeking Tesla drivers who are willing...
I was a lucky beneficiary of the recent 75D uncorking which brought the 0-60 time down to 4.2 seconds. While I could not be happier, I started wondering whether 90D and 100D owners felt any resentment? This question stems from analyzing the 0-60 times across the Model S family: Tesla Model S -...
Price drop! $3,500. Available immediately.
These are the referral award 22" wheels for Model X.
The tires are Pirelli Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico (see: Tire Rack )
The front tires are 265/35ZR22 102W
The rear tires are 285/35ZR22 106W
These wheels and tires are beasts!! Definitely a great...
I have a set of 21" Grey turbine wheels and tires for sale. They are square setup (not staggered)
The wheels were professionally reconditioned by Tesla's approved wheel specialist.
I would rate the condition of the wheels 10 out of 10. The wheels have just been refinished to factory spec and...
My SC in DC said no 60Ds are eligible for uncork. He also said there is no way to tell if a 60 would qualify if it were upgraded to a 75. Worse, he said even if it were hardware capable, the program only applies to upgraded 75s as of the service bulletin date. I had him verify this with an...
It looks like my Model X will receive some form of the Performance Enhancement referenced in this Electrek post.
I have a Service Center appointment scheduled for tomorrow (23 OCT), and I called the Service Center this morning and asked to receive this update if my vehicle was eligible.
After...
Since all discussions about what's going to happen to RWD 75 vehicles have been mixed into threads about uncorking 75Ds, let's finally have our own thread for RWD 75 owners.
The info so far:
almost all 75D are eligible for uncorking at no additional costs simply by software
no RWD 75 is...
After electrek broke the news yesterday about uncorking older 75d vehicles the community went nuts and blew up the service centers, some reports said they didn't know what we were talking about or just said no based on an old list. One person, Michael, at the Tyson's corner VA service center not...
Got email (long) but bottom line is:
"Thanks for your patience and support while we worked through this. There was considerable amount of work required to get us here, but we’re looking forward to providing this as a complimentary update for the majority of our 75D customers."
For those who...
First Tesla Model 3 with performance dual motor reportedly spied on test track
I am guessing the red brake calipers are what they are making the guess on. A performance dual motor version would probably tip me over the edge of actually buying one, which I am on the fence about now.
Good evening everyone,
My name is Chris and last Friday I sold my 18mpg gas guzzling 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I am ready to make the move into a Tesla now! A little background info: I am located in the Santa Monica area and am not looking at purchasing new due to the amount of miles I drive...
I tried to search for a similar issue, but air, puff, blowoff all pull up many irrelevant threads so I'll go ahead and ask.
While driving home today, I over heard a "puff" of air while slowing down. After it did it again pulling into the neighborhood, realizing I didn't hear things or it...
Everyday's a holiday if you love what you do. Like my Grandma once said to me though, "Wait til the love wears off." Reality checked.
Tesla is deep in production hell of much anticipated Model 3. Upwards of 450,000 anxiously patient customers are in the order queue. Meanwhile the pressure...
Is the "performance" modes easter egg not something P85 cars get? I'd never tried to use it until this past week, but I was curious to try it out now and it doesn't launch like it shows on Youtube. I type "performance" in the box and it just goes away, no pop-up car info screen, no modes...
I've been co-driving and working on setup in a Roadster for 3 seasons now and I feel like I'm finally getting to the point where the car is quick and playful around the cones, so I thought id share my setup and hopefully start a serious discussion about autox setup and driving technique for this...
Hi. I have been a Tesla fan ever since the first roadster came out. Ever since then I have been researching many electric car companies. The most impressive of which is the Rimac's first all-electric $1M supercar the Concept One. Which uses a two-speed double-clutch gearbox. This enables it to...
My P100D Ludicrous would not let its self get into full Max Battery Power state today. It would start the heating process and just stop every time it got close to 5min left. Strange thing is that it worked just fine (only used it maybe 3-4 times) for the last 3 weeks or so until I stopped at the...
Hi guys,
I was fortunate enough to have enough referrals to get the Arachnid wheels from the referral program. Today I had them installed at the service center (they actually come with tires included, which is nice).
Since they are supposed to give better performance, I thought the only thing...
The terms "jerk", "whiplash", and "black-out" come to mind...
What the Hell Is an Aspark Owl and Why Do We Want One? | Automobile Magazine
But it can't go 300 miles on a charge, carry 5 adults, and all the stuff we bring home from Costco, so I guess I'll stick with my MS...at least until the...
I have been told at least two other states are to be getting complaints on how Tesla has reduced the power in Ludicrous Mode. Hopefully they will restore the vehicle to the condition when we purchased them. I had hoped to avoid this.
I recently took delivery of MX75D from new inventory and found out (from the laminated config/price sheet inside the car) that it was manufactured in May 2017.
When I ordered it, I specifically asked about the 0-60 in 4.9 seconds, and whether the inventory vehicle could do it (i.e. is it...

MyTesla says the Dual Motors will be delivered approximately May 2018 and on.
There hasn't been news on Performance Model 3. Please share if you know any.
So how many of you will pass RWD, DM for Performance with ludicrous mode?
My prediction is late 2018 or early 2019? What do you guys think?
HI everyone, thanks for letting anyone interested in picking up a perfect P85+ know about this. See my posting on San Diego Craigslist for additional photos.

We talked to our primary insurance carrier which insures three of our family cars about adding our 2008 Roadster.
They told us due to the age of the vehicle, and difficulty getting parts, they are not able to add this car to our vehicle list.
Any suggestions?
Once the motor hits the first yellow the car backs off the power, gets slower and slower (no error message).
At Laguna Seca it would blast up the hill once, but I could watch the current (A) number back off further and further the second time up the hill.
Flooring it from a stop - weak...
Just saw this posted elsewhere:
Tesla introduces new performance enhancements to Model S and Model X
Looked at the Tesla website and it looks to me as if the Model S prices have down by about $2000 compared to a week ago (when I made a tally of them).
More acceleration and lower prices...
I did the REFUEL track day at Laguna Seca Speedway last weekend - 1.5 Roadster. Good fun.
Oversteer out of turn 11 onto the straight, corrected...the tail started coming back as expected then suddenly snapped-back straight. Wasn't pretty - figure that left a mark on the track.
What is going on...
I'm on the market for a black/black or white/white 2014 Model S (big preference for black/black). I'm looking for one with AP1 at the very least. I'm also interested in an 85 battery at the minimum. I will give big preference for a P85.
I'm not too picky on mileage. I actually don't care if it...
Hi everyone. I have a CPO 2013 P85 that I took delivery of this past Tuesday. Just putting the pedal to the floor and testing the acceleration, it definitely does not feel much faster than a regular 85. 0-60 appears to be well over 5 seconds, just by counting while watching the speed. I haven't...
Since I haven't seen something like that on the int. forum... here's a link to a guy in Austria who right now developed a prototype for 3 phase charging of the Roadster (less than 20 kg and no big transformer....)

if those guys can offer a reasonable price (there's...
Hi everyone. I just got off the phone with Tesla with some disturbing news.
My car has approximately 30,000 miles on it. I regularly use CHADeMo to charge my car, with the occasional Supercharger charge on road trips. On my last road trip, I noticed that my supercharging rate was significantly...
Just for fun, Elon authorized a Skunkworks project to explore a supercar concept based on the Model 3.
A small team in Palo Alto put together a motor-per-wheel chassis with a pair of modified high-output controllers and TWO 60 kW battery packs.
Much of the interior was stripped out to save...

Picking up a X75D on Saturday to replace our 2014 S85 (pre-AP, RWD), and I just now started wondering if the X75D will feel slower than our old car. 0-60 and 0-100 are listed as slower than our old car, but I also there was some issues with these numbers back in 2014 so I'm not quite sure if the...
Forward:
I was expecting a lot from the car and have not been disappointed. I’ve been lusting after one since I saw an early prototype in Menlo Park.
What follows are stream of consciousness thoughts (in no particular order).
Pleasant surprises:

Hi All,
Anyone have access to this info?
I have heard that the Camaro SS from 2010 on have the same size brakes as a Tesla Model S.
I am having trouble finding out the size of the wheel hub and hat height to see if they would in fact fit.
I had to brake hard the other day to avoid a...
The chart below and attached is based on current Wikipedia info.
The yellow column is an educated guess based primarily on current AWD Model S versions.
Assumptions about the 100D:
1. It will use the same battery pack as the P100D
2. It will use the same motors and controllers as the 90D...
I know, for a lot of us, a big motivating factor in owning a Tesla Roadster is just how rare the vehicle is. In fact, when I bought mine earlier this year, I had never seen one in real-life, only photographs.
Once I got my car and took it in to be serviced, Tesla told me that I owned just one...
