    First time to RED battery on road trip... Austin->Houston->Austin in 1 day

    Nice trip report, agree about the need for more Superchargers in this neck of the woods. I'm glad I titled the car in Florida, don't have to deal with the front license plate and Texas inspection stickers, which take up half of the front windshield.

    Long-term ownership opinions on black interior in sunny climate sought

    Old Blue / black with no pano in San Antonio. Yes, it gets very hot inside, even with the best heat resistant tint I could get, but a couple of minutes with the a/c on, even with no pre-cooling, gets the temp down fast. When I bought, I heard not so good stories of wear on tan seats, so I went...

    What I've realized after Dipping my Car

    Darren, Kushari: both of you cars look fantastic, and I am seriously considering this myself. Question: Did you dip your sills? If not, how does it look? I am starting with the blue/black color and want to go matte light metallic copper or blue-ish. I don't think there would be too much of...

    What I've realized after Dipping my Car

    Darren, I have CQuartz on my car (had it applied in 2013), and I would guess that this would not stick. Thoughts? Also, I am here in Texas in 100 degree weather. Is the cure time pretty fast-ish? Closest dealer is in Houston, about 3 hours away. Thanks.

    Ideas for Safety - For Those Who Drive Poorly

    I like the garage door opener idea. I always seem to hit the homelink main button when trying to open or close the garage door.

    If gas were $0.66 per gallon......

    Absolutely. There are so many things the car just does right: regen braking so I don't have to use brake pads that wear out to slow down; software updates; the promise of apps for the car; the fluidity of the driving experience...the list goes on. Plus not having to waste time at the gas...

    Will you trade up to "D"?

    Keeping my plain old 2013 85 for another while yet. The autopilot feature might be fun, but can it compensate for the D-bags on the road here in Texas?

    how many kept your old ICE around as a backup? And how long before selling it?

    Got rid ot both of my ICE cars, one as a trade in for the MS, the second a few months after delivery. Have not regretted the decision.

    Custom floor mats

    I have to second nkohlimd. I have a Blue/Black MS and I purchased the Black mats with Navy Blue piping. Could not be happier. Jerry was awesome to work with: he sent me many pictures of different designs and colors and we discussed the options at length over the phone. Mats were made and...

    FS: P85+ Black/Black, 600 Miles, Mint - Austin, TX - SOLD

    Don't want to get in your business but is there someone in the area you trust with keeping the car for you? How about driving it to stay with family?

    Model S Pole Crash.

    I guess this proves its a safe car. Heaven forbid I get hit by a drunk driver, but if I did, I know the car could take it.
