Model S Owners manual needed

There aren't any. I think you just have to print the PDF. You should be able to get a copy of your latest one on the mytesla site since you have one.

If not, the manuals page has this:

I remember renting a Model S in October, 2013 and it came with a bound paper manual. It was a P85, so not sure if manuals were provided across the product line even then. Current models only come with a short quick start manual and the online version. Bound Model S manuals are definitely collector's items.

You can just order him one of Nick Howe's books:

Owning Model S, The Book

... I think Nick is doing an updated version soon too.

FlatSix911, I think it's great that you're taking your dad on your journey into this technology. All the best.

I am still looking for a paper manual from a 2012-2014 car - feel free to PM me if you have one available. Thanks!

You're not going to find one. Tesla has never printed a full paper manual. There is the quick start manual that's some very basic info and the warranty and legal disclaimers and that's about it.

Sure there are paper manuals, this is what came with my 2013 P85:

Says written for firmware 5.0

Well I stand corrected.

Thanks, I plan to also order the book.

The Owning Model S book is great and a lot more friendly read than the owners manual (which is usually outdated too).

I stood corrected. Don't really see the need to rub it in.

Sorry... was just poking fun... and silly me had not noticed the next page with the response and your mea culpa :redface::redface:.

I just see occasional replies to messages from folks that are so strongly stated, but turn out to be wrong.
