    What is the difference in safe two-lane highway passing speeds between M3, S75D, S100D, and SP100D?

    I am trying to find information about differences, in safely passing at highway speeds (on a two-lane highway), between Tesla M3, S75D, S100D, and PS100D. Tesla quotes "1.2 seconds passing speed 45-65 mph" in the MS configurator for P100D, but it's hard to immagine how this looks like in...

    Andrew Collins (Jalopnik) drives and reviews Model 3 -- I see his Grin

    OK so the other day Andrew Collins posted a request to anyone with a Model 3 to loan it to him to drive and review their car for Jalopnik and offered the person a lunch for their troubles to anyone who stepped up. Well he got his chance already and posted his video/review thanks to Mason McLead...

    Pulling the ESP fuse

    Sorry, I did not find anything about that with the forum search. I am sure this must have been discussed already. Which fuse do I have to pull to disable EPS and traction control completely? I know there are multiple fuse boxes on the Model S. What are the drawbacks in doing that? I mean not...

    Model 3 snow “donuts”

    I was at the Edison NJ meet and greet stop for You You Xue’s Model 3 road trip last night. More info on the road trip can be found here: Tesla Model 3 Road Trip About an inch of snow had fallen earlier in the day and one of the parking lots by the supercharger was not plowed, so they decided to...

    No More Mouse Control...No!!!!!!!

    After the Santa Mode Update (2017.50.2)...I lost the ability to control the 17 inch display with a USB mouse. My rear seat passengers heavily relied on this...the USB mouse still works on the 3. Can anyone else confirm this?

    Supercharging a Model 3

    So I picked up my 3 yesterday at the Fremont Hub. Supercharging wasn't necessary to get home with the long range but I wanted to show those with an S\X and non owner's (yet) how simple it was, even with paid usage. Let me know if there's any thing else you want to see. I'll be adding more...

    Model 3 Speaker Bug

    Picked up my Model 3 today at the new Fremont Hub. Overall it was a great pickup and overview of controls and features. However, on the drive home I decided to turn up the stereo to test out the audio. It sounded kind of hollow and lacking any base. Upon further review just the front upper...

    Break Into Tesla Model 3 Trunk in Under 15 Seconds

    As advance as the Model 3 is...it is fairly easy to break-into the trunk. Most modern cars only place the seat release in the trunk or have locking mechanisms. Since Tesla's don't have any glass-breakage sensors or motion alarms...we are going to see breakins like these happen. It is...

    So what's the difference between Park and (P)ARK?

    Pressing the button on the end of the shift lever engages Park along with the noise of the mechanical parking brake callipers - fair enough - but press-and-hold it again and it does something else and also lights up a red (P)ARK in the I/C - and it also makes a second, discrete noise. Is this...

    2017.50.2 Torture Test: ails, but fails more consistenly

    After the snow had melted back a bit, I ran my MX with 2017.50.2 on my torture route yesterday. This route has revealed some serious lane control and guidance issues with past firmware versions. The route has two exits and a "rise plus turn" feature in the middle. The rise + turn has led to...

    Where to 110 V receptacles and 12 V to 110 V inverter in Model X

    I bought a Morning star sure sine 300 watt inverter. It produces a clean sine wave (hopefully). What I like about it is it has a user setable low voltage turn off, audible alarms, and it uses no annoying cooling fans so it is completely silent. It's also built like a tank. But because it is...

    Model 3 seating can accommodate person 6' 7" (201 cm) tall person

    Driver's seat, no problem. Ingress/egress is good. Plenty of head room. Even with a 6' (183 cm) person in the front, the tall person can still fit in the rear seat and not be jammed against the front seat. The only downside seems to be a low bench for the rear seats, which could be...

    Tesla Model X Crash - Aftermath Video

    Chrysler 200 sedan ran a red light at intersection. Autopilot was not in use. Wife walked away with only a tiny scratch on her finger. No concussion or injury. Automatic emergency braking may have lessened the impact, but without opening an investigation through Tesla we have no way of knowing.

    Testing autopilot on software update 2017.50.1

    As has become a habit now, I've took the opportunity to test the latest update 2017.50.1 on my Model S to see if there are some improvements in autopilot behaviour. Now, I've had the update for 4 days now and have driven a few hundred kilometers before this test. So any calibration should have...

    Center Screen Controls - Burn In

    So.. I hope I'm wrong here, but it sure looks like the icons along the bottom of my screen are now burned into it. Something I didn't think was possible w/LCD... Anyone else seen this? Anyone had the screen replaced? I'm under warranty until March 2019.

    Testing the AP2 "hold steering wheel" interval

    Since Bjorn Nyland tested the AP1 interval, I thought it would be useful to compare it with the AP2 "nag" interval. Turns out that consistency is key with AP2 and it's still a far cry from AP1 unfortunately, with a lot shorter intervals.
