    Model S 75D Range Anxiety

    Hi All, I am too torn between the 75D and the 90D. The 75D is more than sufficient for my daily commute and day to day needs with its 259 miles "EPA" range. And the best part is that it fits my budget like a glove. But every now and then we visit family which ends up being about 160 miles round...

    Tesla assistance for AutoSock on Model X

    With winter coming to the Pacific Northwest, I've got a few road trips planned that'll involve snowy and icy weather. On my previous SUV, I used AutoSocks and they were great--easy to put on, quiet, and great performance. My Model X has the 22" wheels (for which Tesla doesn't even offer chains)...

    Petition Cal Trans to exempt Model S from tire chain requirements?

    After watching this video of the Model S's performance in Norwegian snow, it seems crazy that we'd have to put chains on the Model S. We often drive up to Big Bear lake, and if it's snowing on Highway 38, they'll require chains on all 2WD vehicles (it's usually "R2" conditions: 4x4 vehicles...

    Winter Driving Test - My Crazy Laneway

    Hi Everyone, Just picked up my Model s (85KW) this morning. First off, it's incredible. My fear over the past few months of waiting has been winter driving. I have a ridiculous lane way and use 4 wheel-drive for my other vehicle. Wouldn't you know it, delivery day here in Ontario has come...
