Funny. All this time and this is the first picture I can recall of the Model S 2nd row seating being anything but up. Including in my own vehicle.Here's one more shot with one of the seats down:

There are only two small electric motors in-between the two rear wheels
No second motor. Many see the inverter and presume its the "second motor".
There are actually two motors attached to the same single-speed gearbox:
(The AWD Model X has one of the two in the front)
That is not correct. What you are looking at is a motor on one side and the other side is the inverter. Single motor.
Really...! I stand corrected, thank you. I'll update my post shortly.
So this means that the Model X is the only model that uses a different motor (two smaller vs one larger?) Or, does it use two of the same size motors, I wonder..
Seeing the rear seat flat like that makes me wonder if a person can lay down back there?
Would there be room to stretch out? A few comforters would soften up the area, would be great for long trips
The rear floor by the hatch is a couple of inches lower than the front portion where the seats fold down, but I think it should be easy to get a foam pad or something to even it out, and if you don't mind sleeping curled up in the fetal position, there should be enough room for most folks to overnight. I haven't tried it, but I might do so just for fun.
Range: My Tesla has ~300 miles of range. In a week I'll be taking her on a 200 mile trip up to Boston, and I can't wait to test out what she can really do, as well as the super chargers along the route (free to use!). But for around my home (shopping, seeing friends, taking the dog out), I'm never concerned about the condition of the battery. I just drive (as inefficiently as I can, lately (my foot has gotten quite heavy these last 3 days , and when I come home, I plug the car in and forget about it. It's full the next time I use it. And, it costs ~$8 to charge the entire battery (assuming I drove it to empty). My 250 miles of fun driving over the last 3 days cost me about as much as a cup of Starbucks coffee. This is a win.

Where did you calculate you can fill the Model S battery from nearly empty to full in NYC (ConEdison territory) for only ~$8?
I live in Westchester, NY... ConEd electric rate averages about 20 cents/kWh (usually about 10-11 cents for delivery + 8-9 cents for the actual electricity).
This price doesn't even take into account wall to battery charging loss, taxes and other fees. A that rate, for a usable 81.5 kWh worth of charge (estimated usable amount of the battery), that then comes to a minimum cost of $16.30
I wish we could charge our Model S's for only $8 from empty, but that simply isn't the case :frown:

You'd have to be careful not to put too much weight on the well cover back by the hatch: it's not that sturdy. Maybe enter from the side doors?
RyanG you kinda look like Matt Damon.
Yeah I agree. I am thinking of cutting a piece of plywood (or MDF) to fit over the pit in the back. My greyhound is ~65 pounds and has very small feet. When I end up driving to Charlotte with her in the back I think some more substance will be in order. Then cover it up the whole back with a 'playpen' to keep the hair in check.
Today, I have driven the future. [This was my first and only thought when I drove my Tesla home on Day 1]
*Too Slow. The Tesla's acceleration is too slow. I expected better. ..HAHAHA JUST KIDDING! IT'S AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!
