All Discussion re: Tesla Motors Website & Forums

[omarsultan]

My guess is some update went horribly wrong as various parts of the site were up and down on Friday. I would be very surprised if Tesla decided to tamp down the discussion considering they let everyone run amok during fire-gate, air-suspension-gate, parking-sensor-gate, drive-unit-gate and delivery-date-gate, not to mention cupholder-gate and lighted-vanity-mirror-gate.

Considering forums are not exactly business critical, I am guessing the web and IT elves with tackle it on Monday.

The elves are still functioning: I received the official company email notice regarding the opening of the Casa Grande sc this (Sunday 10-12) afternoon.

Where are the Frequently Argued Questions?

What happened to Tesla Motors Forum?

The forum at the TM site has been down for several days. Anyone know what happened to it?

 

[Velo1]

Nope, but there is another thread, I believe under News, that contains lots of similar posts, incuding mine. Your would think TM would at least post something indicating the status.

A few things have gone awry on the site since the "D" announcement.

-Forums have gone missing

-"View design" option no longer available on my reservation page, though the VIN is still there

-No links that I can find to the accessories store. It still works if you go directly to shop.teslamotors.com.

It seems that all discussions are now taking place under comments below the new blog posting announcing the D.

People who have contacted Tesla were told that it's down, they know it's down and are working on getting it back on line. Apparently it did come back up at some point but went down again. I'm pretty sure that it's not the same group that designs the software for the car.

There still is a link where it always has been at the bottom of the page.

I just called and was told it was being fixed. Disappointing. I just posted a thread about a Model S accident issue that I would like to post at Tesla as well.

 

[mgboyes]

it's back

At the "D" event I saw some new items that were supposed to be available in the on-line store the next day. Some cool stuff.

I saw that too and I thought it was sad to see the blog comments go down that road. It's really cluttered up compared to past blog comment areas.

 

[rjatc]

It's back up!

 

[Cosmacelf]

It is back ... and just annoying

 

[omarsultan]

Man, so much whining.....take it back down again!

I'm not sure when this change happened - On the design page, it looks like you can't upgrade to Michelin tires on the 60 anymore? Actually they dont even describe the tires at all. Is Michelin or Goodyear now the standard tire? It doesnt describe that Michelin is standard on the 85 either. So whats the change? Is Michelin not standard on the S85 now?

I also see that their PPF is gone but I think that's been mentioned before.

Also I thought there used to be a 'Features' page that described in more detail the features of the Model S. That page seems to be completely gone too. Going to /features just redirects to the design page.

Michelin discontinued the Primacy a few months ago. The other web site changes also happened at least a few months ago.
