I'm interested in knowing if you've had other trouble opening the door in cold weather. Now that Oct. is almost over, I assume you've had some nights that have dropped below 45 F. I should be taking delivery towards mid/late Dec, and in Chicago the weather of course will be cold that time of year. I wouldn't want to have door handle issues!

Well, I had my first Model S meeting yesterday. SteveZZZZ and I are both pilots, so we met at the airport and took a flight in my vintage, Bell 47, helicopter; yes its the MASH 'copter. It was pretty strange to look in my rearview mirror on the way to the airport and see a near clone of my car behind me. Steve has the same signature red as me. Steve is a professional photographer and he composed a great picture of the helicopter and the two Teslas before the sun went away. I took a quick snapshot with my iPhone while he was shooting with his pro SLR. Here is the snapshot. I hope that SteveZZZZ will post one of his shots as well.
A little OT but - do you fly RC helis at all? I have a Logo 500se(Mikado) I wanted to find a good home for it since I don't really have a place or time to play with it. It has ~ 1.3m bladespan (~$1200 no Tx)
Nope, no experience with RC 'copters, only full size. My 47 rotors are 11 m in diameter and turn at about 355 RPM.
The 47 is at the other end of the carbon footprint spectrum from the Model S, getting about 4 mpg, but a lot of fun anyway.
They definitely use a lot of power to stay in the air.
The logo is electric and has a hs of about 2000rpm max and +- 12 degrees pitch with a 3d gyro for the flybarless head
helis are pretty neat inventions! ( I have never even flown in one

Cottonwood and Stevezzzz, your pics should definitely be posted under Cool Model S Photos too! Very nice!
Hmm, with these fobs, that could actually happen. Two identical Model Ss parked alongside; the two drivers are standing there chatting and get into the wrong cars and drive off.

Don't see myself making such a mistake with my Green with a Black Roof!
Too many Sig Reds out there - thought they were supposed to be exclusive or something :tongue:
