    Very uncomfortable bottom seat cushion

    Try changing your seating position, and believe it or not, lower your lumbar support. That may help.

    Where is the Blind Spot Detection?

    Then we have different information. All I know is that when I am in AP and I turn on my blinker, the car changes lane even though another car is in its blind spot. Give it a try.... (J/K... you would probably cause an accident).

    Where is the Blind Spot Detection?

    In AP version 9 we get “Drive on NAV” which does not do what it sounds like it should. It only recommends when you change lanes on a freeway. Big deal... How about a safety feature that Kia’s have but apparently is too complicated for Tesla to incorporate?... Blind spot detection. We all know...

    Auto-park fail - manually stopped just in time

    AutoPark is definitely a mixed bag. It works 80% of the time for me. On two occasions I had very strange results that could have resulted in collisions had I not been paying close attention. I live on a one-way residential street that has parallel parking on both sides. One night I was...

    Lease vs Buying (with numbers)

    It all came down to this.... New D75.... Total cost after 3 years: Lease: $50,000 and no Asset value Purchase: $48,000 and own half the car.even if the car depreciates 50%, you will be ahead. Unless you can write off the lease as a business expense, leasing makes no sense.

    Just insured my new Model S with Costco for $1200 a year. California driver, clean record. These $2000+ quotes are insane!

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I was lucky. My car is a 75D non PUP, with AP, MS, Textile seats, and glass top. My salesperson found one with this config being built so he managed to steer it my way... Maybe someone cancelled... who knows?

    EAP Class Action Settlement 7-26-18

    You feel cheated? Be thankful your car did not run into a truck. EAP will never be approved by the DOT. Very few members of the general public trust it.

    So I gave up on the Model 3... and bought a Model S

    Picking up my S on Monday. It was three weeks since I ordered it. My salesperson found the exact config I wanted assigned to a dealer in the northeast and hijacked it off the line. That’s why it was so fast! So I know that there have been several quality control issues on deliveries of the...

    Did Tesla just kill the Model S 75D?

    You really can't judge until you are in the same room as the two cars. I had ordered a 3 and then visited a local Tesla showroom. There was n S sitting right next to the 3. No comparison! The S looked sleek, designed, and downright beautiful next to the 3. The 3 looked like.,.. well... it...

    So I gave up on the Model 3... and bought a Model S

    So I came to my senses. Although the Model 3 is a very cool and advanced automobile, I could not resist the allure of that huge and beautiful Model S sitting next to a Model 3 in the showroom. Not only is a Model S a stunning car (with its new front end), but it has double the cargo room and...
