    Tesla moments

    19,000? I took delivery in May and am not far behind with 17,000+. Good thing we are not on a lease program!

    Tesla moments

    I'm thinking she meant 2.0 seconds. And even that would exceed the 40 MPH speed limit.

    Tesla moments

    We enjoy cars so the money gets spent. Other interests that can get way more expensive: A passion for horses, or buying that big diesel crew cab with a 5th wheel for pulling that big ass camper . . hell, just gearing up for hunting or boating can be much more expensive than owning a Tesla...

    Tesla moments

    Three mini moments: 1. At the guardhouse at work a new guard notices the handles are flush and asks how they work. So I push park and (of course) they present themselves and he's blown away . . long line, no time for Tesla talk. 2. At our last car show a man approached my wife and says, "You...

    V 8.0 Autopilot

    Yes, mine also had the lane lines showing on the display. And there was very little traffic or I would NEVER have allowed it to steer that far across the center line. And like I stated earlier, even the lines were very newly painted so easy for the system to read.

    V 8.0 Autopilot

    I have not noticed that yet. Doesn't mean it's not doing it. Unless of course it seems extreme

    V 8.0 Autopilot

    Last nights oddities: For about the first 5 to 7 minutes the system failed to "see" the speed limit signs and the headlights would not auto dim. When I engaged autopilot it held the set speed (48MPH), then slowed as speed restricted popped up, then sped back up, then slowed and sped up and...

    Tesla moments

    We had a great time at the Landmark Park Car show. Probably 100 people stopped by and talked Tesla. Again, one of the primary questions was how much does one cost and why would I buy one? My only answer to the why is because I love cars and tech and this is the best of both. My passion is...

    Was the initial 7.0 release "this bad"

    68 here and not liking the new UI as much as the older one.

    V 8.0 Autopilot

    I don't feel that was the case here. Just the day before I spent 7 hours detailing it for a car show. I did look closely at the camera opening and it appears there might be some clear (adhesive?) on the inside of the camera perhaps refracting sunlight. However I did not have this problem prior...

    V 8.0 Autopilot

    I've recently gotten the Ver. 8.0 update and fully expected the autopilot feature to be more responsive than it is. In straight line driving in traffic I found it (for the most part) reduces speed earlier and smoother when approaching stopped traffic and that was impressive. However, tonight on...

    Tesla moments

    This might get long and wordy, but bear with me. Last fall I went to my local Dodge dealer with the Hellcat bug and wanted to buy one but refused to pay their stupid "limited production" premium of $15,000. so I passed. Needless to say, I bought an S 90 D and today I stopped by the dealer...

    Model S Software/Firmware wishlist

    Simply put, more presets for the radio! Only 8? Are you kidding me? This is a computer based radio and should easily remember more presets.

    Tesla moments

    Perhaps it is your location, our white 90D turns heads wherever we go. We can hardly get out of the car without the occasional Q/A session, some very brief, some quite lengthy.

    Tesla moments

    Things like that are all my on my wife and she just left with the car for work. I will ask her, but for the most part I can tell you much of what is contained is simply cut and pasted right from the manual and other Tesla information and photos gathered from the net. I know there is one photo...
