    When do you think the 2170 battery comes to MX and MS?

    Still surprised they have not rolled out the new battery packs across the whole range of Tesla products. Seems only the Model S & X are still using the old battery packs. Where as the Model 3 & the power walls use the newer 2170 form factor cells. Also surprised the motors also have not been...

    What Would it Take to Upgrade Your Current Tesla?

    Great news for Model 3 owners - Tesla's Model 3 can now park itself with Summon feature. Lets hope this means that we will see a refresh on the Model S with better tech and features then the Model 3. I don't see enough of a difference in features to justify changing from my current MS to a...

    What Would it Take to Upgrade Your Current Tesla?

    New Interior, New Battery Technology ( the 2170 li-ion cell), New Sports suspension (To improve handling). New tech for Autopilot would be nice but not a deal breaker. Happy to drive the car myself ;)

    Rumor summary: Blind-spot cameras, Rain sensing, Level 3, Big battery, Interior/HUD

    According to Porsche, Taycan is a word taken from an eastern dialect and is pronounced ‘tie-can’. It translates as ‘lively young horse’ and is a reference to the horse that’s been rearing up on its hind legs on the Porsche badge since 1952.

    Rumor summary: Blind-spot cameras, Rain sensing, Level 3, Big battery, Interior/HUD

    Will be interested to see what Tesla comes up with given Porsche will soon launch their first all Eletric car the "Taycan" . Hoping the next versions of the Model S & X will have a firmer suspension for handling the corners. This could be why we have not seen the revision yet. Maybe Tesla was...

    Model S Outdoor car cover

    I have a cover. Like others I always wash my car before putting it on. I tend to use it when the car is sitting outside in the sun for extended periods of time. I do this as I want to protect the paint and finish on the wheels when ever possible. Happy with the purchase and would purchase one...

    Got my midnight silver Model S 100D wrapped with XPEL Stealth

    \ Thank you that was going to be my next question. Sorry to hear your car got keyed. Agree a paint job would have cost a lot more.

    Got my midnight silver Model S 100D wrapped with XPEL Stealth

    Thank you for the information. I was more concerned with the wheel wells and suspension in regions where they still use brine solutions (magnesium chloride) that are effective for safety, but take an immense toll on your car. Have been washing my wheel wells regularly.

    Got my midnight silver Model S 100D wrapped with XPEL Stealth

    Seems very expensive for plastic wrap. Would it not be cheaper just to touch up the paint if you get some rock chips? Don't get me wrong the car looks great with he wrap. The cost I can't get my head around. Maybe Tesla should offer this as an add as their is a good margin in it. Have you...
