Site Feedback

I've been searching around for different consoles front and rear and always stumble across some fantastic projects and modifications that others owners have done to their cars. Interior, trunk and frunk lighting, camera switches, speakers, puddle lights, etc. Could a forum be added for these...

love the TMC site. thinking it might make sense to decrease the number of posts a thread needs to qualify as a "Hot Thread", with the reddish icon. as it is now, it seems to only take 20 replies to light a thread up as "hot", and it might be easier to scan through for popular threads if the...

I love TMC but I find the narrow scope of individual forums makes it hard to browse. If I want the latest on the Model S I have to click through to six different forums. And if I'm making a thread, many of the forums overlap with each other, leaving it unclear where that new thread belongs...

The entire site was down for like the last 10 minutes! "Database Error" was all I saw... what happened?! - - - Updated - - - Not 10 minutes went by, and the site went down again... But this time for only a couple of minutes. It's now back again... What's going on!?

Mods: So...is there any way to permanently mark/identify a thread such that it doesn't pop back up in the 'new posts' auto search? I've found this functionality helpful in other forums. The way I read TMC is to first catch up on my subscribed threads through the usercp (it would be nice to...

I'm trying to add the 6.1 release notes to the software change log and getting an error that I've exceeded 50000 characters. Is this a hard limit or can it be increased? If not, we'll have to break up the software change log into separate posts.

Tesla has blocked the import of used Model S's into Canada for some reason. Don't get me started on the motivations... I think they are likely frivolous. Anyway, it means that Canadians hoping to buy a used Model S only really have one option, buy a Canadian one. There have been some Canadian...

at the bottom of each page there is a button to take you back to the top, it is labeled TOP. It is a great button, but I'm curious why it does not quite go all the way to the top. It stops just short and leaves the line with my name, profile, settings and logout just above it. There are times...

My usual TMC browsing routine beings with "What's New?" But I find it annoying that so many regional subforums are excluded. I've been digging around in settings and haven't found a way to manage these exclusions. I've missed replies in some threads that I've posted in because of these...

In browsing the TMC forum I feel I see too many posts quoting someone else and adding "+1". I believe this should be discouraged. You can instead use the "add to reputation" function if you only want to voice your approval of what someone else has posted without adding any new information...

I will no longer post here. My last post moved to snappiness according to my profile but appears to have been deleted. The post simply was that a poster consider submitting to seeking alpha. My guess is moderator considered it an insult but there is a whole thread about submitting to seeking...

They weren't actually off topic; they were about Barbara Walters' interviews and her choice of subjects. Gotta snip it somewhere. If you don't want to get moved, don't go off topic!

Imagine if Tesla grows like projected, gen 3 in place etc. Later customers may not have as many enthusiastic owners but none the less there will be quite a few joining TMC. This site may grow really big! And it will be really cool for the Roadster owners who where here from the start! ;)

Title says it all. May I ask why this parameter has been set in the forum config? Didn't used to be this way. There are many legitimate reasons why users may want to edit their old posts from several months back.

Moderator Note: this thread was started with posts moved from theses two threads 1. Forum-Member-Unhappy-Over-Wait-for-P85D 2. Tracking-P85D-delivery-thread If moderators saw to it to extract this one user's posts from the P85D thread and collect them in this "exile thread" then that is...

Sellers often dislike online discussions of their cars asking price, buyers often appreciate such discussions because they can get a better feel for the market and the reasonableness -- or not -- of the asking price. I used to participate in a vintage car forum -- which I will not name --...

I've been thinking about creating an app for the TMC forum for Android and iOS. I don't know about you, but I mostly spend my time viewing/writing threads on my phone, and it's incredibly painful. Looked around, there doesn't seem to be anything out there yet. Correct me if this is wrong...

Is there a difference between the "classifieds" section and the Marketplace? I am a new member and went to the marketplace to list my P85. The listing shows in the classifieds, but not in the marketplace.

Hi, I just want to check in with everyone and see if there are any questions or feedback regarding the Panjo Marketplace. We read every comment and concern regarding the marketplace. Your feedback is what helps us build and improve the marketplace to create the best experience possible...

Hi I was going to post an ad on the forum for my P85+ but at the point where I fill in the payment information it is basically assessing a 5% cost for advertising on TMC. Is that normal? on 120,000 selling price that would be: $6,000 charge for advertising and the tool is actually showing a net...

Before I purchased my car I read this forum religiously soaking up the excitement of people who had a Tesla or were waiting. The posts were full of expectations on their car being delivered or what would the next software update be or how fricking cool the car was to own. Yes there was the...

It would be good to have the Gigafactory progress up on the home page. It can be found with searching but it is time to get it up for frequent reference. Go Tesla, lets get that thing built! ~Larry

Any chance of installing the "thanks" button mod for thread posts. I like vBulletin forums with a thanks button. It makes for much friendlier exchanges. Also the @username tag mod is pretty good for alerting particular members to posts. Cheers!

There's an user I've tried to add to my ignore list a few times over the last couple years and keep failing, forgetting it won't let you ignore an admin. Can that be changed? Obviously they're an admin, but I'm not sure why that should have any impact on which posts I'd like to see.

Is there a command on this site to mark all threads as read?

I am not getting instant email notifications for my subscriptions this week. Maybe one a day, but when I check the forums, it should be more like 15 or 20 per day like it has been in the past. Is there a bug this week? Thanks.

I don't know if there is a mission statement for the forum or not. I am not attempting to invoke censorship and do believe different opinions should be expressed and tolerated. I am sure there are many agendas behind many of the posts on TMC and these should be tolerated. However we have seen a...

Okay, folks. You know we're all volunteers. And we've agreed to help this forum operate in a certain way. It's not personal when we ask folks to remove links from their signatures or to keep the language 'suitable for prime time network television'. Lately it seems a part of the forum...

I mentioned this back in 2012 but I'll reiterate - I really think TMC needs a few more subforums. One in particular called "Model S - Aftermarket mods". (And similarly in the future Model X, Gen 3, etc). This could further be broken down into - Tinting - Wraps / ppf - coatings - Radar / laser...

After much preparation, we're going to be moving servers in the morning. Fingers crossed.

[Mod Note: this thread was carved out of the Open Letter to Elon Musk thread] It is a shame this forum does not maintain a list of suggestions. The two people who wrote that open letter did what they could. It is just two people's opinion and they got most of the items right. However with the...

Is there some way to make subscribing to threads easier? The current method is pretty tedious: Scroll to the top, click Thread Tools, click Subscribe to this thread, wait for the page to load, click Add Subscription, wait for the page to load (which is always the first page of the thread), then...

Being that we all are interested in the activities of Elon Musk...(I know that I read anything that mentions his name and see most all shows that highlight him)...shouldn't there be a category in the TMC forums dedicated to the news, activities, discussions, etc. of Elon Musk? We all love our...

I use an investing site, fool.com, and while the discussion boards are very lame they have one feature TMC doesn't: A way to find posts that are direct replies to your posts. I would appreciate this. I sometimes post in threads I don't normally monitor, and it'd be nice to read what other...

I know everyone hates the guy who points out the obvious... But I figure if I post about it it's more likely Doug or someone will remember :-) (and yes, I realize you guys are all at the racetrack today, trying your best to damage your $100k cars... have fun)

Why is teslamotorsclub.com blocked when using Starbucks WiFi connections? While sitting at Starbucks I am having to send this message using my mobile phone WiFi hotspot feature.

I'm often yelling the subject line at Tess because every TMC page refreshes 2-4 times on load. Could someone see if they can find a fix for this maddening behavior? Thanks.

I don't know where the best place to put this is, so I picked here. I hope enough people see this. If a moderator thinks it is worthy of being moved, please do so. I had a couple of ideas for fun distractions on the website, that I am hoping someone who is inclined will want to do. First...

So I've noticed that after a certain point, the mouseover text on the reputation bars doesn't change. This should be fixed because bonnie has been merely "glorious to behold" for the past three bars. It was fun to watch it change as she got more reputation. May I suggest some new tiers...

I've been waiting a week for a moderator to approve my post. My first post took almost a month to be approved. Why is it taking this long? By the time it gets published it's far from being relevant anymore.

My understanding is that "active" web pages can be a battery waste and might interfere with Model S sleep mode. As such, can we disable the TMC Connect ticker when the UA is a Model S? Not a big deal, just seems prudent.

Hi, Gang... This probably isn't shocking to anyone, but I've been approached by a couple of unsavory types in recent days wanting to purchase my wheels from the Marketplace. They both followed the same pattern: -Brand new forum members with zero posts -Willing to pay the full price (or a...

Not a big deal, but often the post text width is only approx. 75% of the full site page width.:confused: When that happens, I do post edit and save (often without doing any edit). The post text changes to full site page width. I find matching text and page width easier on the eye, it...

Hello, We would like to become a forum sponsor as we were told this is THE place on the web for Tesla owners. Thanks in advance!

Tesla Investors Discussion is a great place for investors to discuss their Tesla investment. I feel lucky and grateful to be able to have access on TID to so many brilliant people and their thoughts, analysis and humor.:cool: I often go to other investment forums, outside of TID, but none of...

How does one upload a photo of a supercharger construction site ?

Hi, There is a problem. To replicate it click on the red button that says "Reply To Thread" at the bottom left of this topic. Type anything you want and then press the button again to post it. The message vanishes. Obviously you are not supposed to click on the same button again but because the...

Hello. I have gone through this thread : http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/4886-Ford-Focus-EV However, when I go to what's new, it still shows up as unread. I wouldn't mind so much except that it is blocking any threads after it from showing up. I did notice that when I clicked on...

I absolutely love the plethora of posts in different languages. Some mornings the "New Posts" search returns almost half in something other than english. It makes me feel like the US is sharing something useful with Tesla.

I opened my tmc account on my phone using tat. I did not have to setup a pw. I guess I did that thru tat. My question? How do I sign in on my laptop? Tia!
