I thought the TMC community would appreciate a cool analysis of the Tesla supercharger network. The link is: Qlik Demos. I like how you can see the density of the network, and how you can see how its grown over time. The analysis is updated daily, so you can can see a few chargers which were...

TMC-- I was wondering if there was someone in the greater Boston area who has taken delivery of their Model X who would be willing to do a live demo for my wife and I. We are reservation ~600, and attended the test drive event in Dedham last week. But... coming out of the event, we have a...

Was it cold (like below freezing)? I have found that the center console can stay dark for many seconds if it is very cold when I get in the car.

So, thank you to the advice from someone on this thread, I was able to reprogram the home link. Key was to hold it SUPER close to the bumper. Now it works, but 6.1 does seem less powerful, so I need to be closer to the garage to open it.

After installing 6.1 on my Sig P85 the homelink garage door didn't work any more. The icon would show up at home, but touching it would not open the door. I figured that it had just "forgotten", so I deleted it and tried to re-add it. Now, when re-adding it, it just sits there, and never...

Sig 605... got it this AM.

Thank you very much MassX1317 for being on top of this. Keep up the good work... keep bugging them. This entire debacle is decidedly despicable, and you are making a difference in many people's lives with your diligent focus.

That's the FINAL STRAW -- I bet these are not available as a retrofit. I was promised hardware upgrades! I'm returning my Sig so I can get this!

Latest email: In speaking with the Town administrator just now I have been told that its a Commonwealth of Massachusetts permitting issue. Tesla has not secured the proper permits from the State. The electrical inspector has no outstanding issues with the charging station electrical components...

Got the following back: Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I was not aware of the ongoing problem with the charging station until yesterday. This is has been forwarded to the Town administrator for action. I received a email from the Town Administrator asking the building inspector...

I sent the following to the selebtpeople... and cc'd [email protected]... I think my note was quite positive and respectful :-) Town of Bourne Selectpeople-- I am a long time resident of Mass, and a frequent driver from Boston to Cape Cod through Bourne. I am also a Tesla driver. I...

Can someone post phone numbers and email address of people we should be bugging? If there is an uproar, I suspect stuff will move.

Its the air conditioning. Turn off the AC, and see if it goes away

OK, this is crazy, but I stopped there as well today... but clearly a few hours after you. Got a nice panorama.

I'll be driving by there on Sunday early afternoon... I'll stop and take some pictures...

I'll be there at noon... Pearl white p85 sig....

Here's my idea: Have 2,000 "slots" open for a Early Firmware Beta Program. You go to your teslamotors.com page to take a slot. The slots are "first come, first serve". There is a waiting list, if the slots are all taken. And -- this is the key -- all Signature owners are guaranteed a slot...

Best hotel is Indigo in Newton... not too expensive, and has a charger. Here's a link...

I'm a white Signature performance in Newton Center...

I also took it to my "local" (read: scrappy) place. It takes about 5 minutes because they don't need to do the exhaust inspection. Mostly they just check that the lights work, etc. I wouldn't stress about it... it's just a way for local garages to get $29 and soon $35...

I have a P85, no plus. I've struggled with the alignment, specifically pulling right, as you describe below. After multiple alignments, and efforts on the part of the service team... finally it drives straight. It's still not "perfect", but it's close enough that I'm going with it. My...

THAT explains it... my spoiler is missing, so you must have it. Please send it my way via PM. Thanks!

site down?

This such an awesome thing!

This is the new "functionality" in 5.x. The car goes to sleep, and it takes much longer to wake up and accept commands from the iPhone app. It's bloody annoying :-) One nice thing is you can launch the app, then leave it in the background... come back in a few min (check email, update FB...

You can add me as supportive of the petition...

In think the most effective thing for us to do is email [email protected] with our personal perspective and views on the topic. I'm confident they're watching the email traffic and will respond to the general sentiment. I did just email them with the following note:

+1. Very annoying.

I would be up for meeting at "Cars and Coffee" on Oct 19th... that looks pretty cool.

I like the idea, but I can't do next weekend

+1!!

My P+ has a whine under high acceleration as well. I've spent hours diagnosing it, and realized it only happens when my wife is in the passenger seat. I think I'm zeroing in on the cause :-) I'll spend a few more hours this weekend doing high acceleration tests to see if I get more data.

Ask your local service center, and they will apply it for you. But you have to ask. While you're at it, ask for a rear floor mat... again, they will give it to you (and, again, you have to ask).

I got 4.5 (*.48) last night. No fan noise problem.

Perhaps we could refer to them as "signature" members. But make sure we promise a whole lot of things, and over time remove them slowly/painfully to remove any positivity from the experience. :-) Oh, and a gym bag.

What if everyone on this thread took a picture of them, with their Tesla, and photoshopped their TeslaMotorsClub ID onto it (like "signing" it)... then we could collect all the pictures into a poster size collage and email it to him. Easy to do, easy to get to him (i.e. no snail mail), and...

Thank you everyone!

4th Grade school report survey My nephew loves his uncle's new Model S, and it's inspired him to learn more about global warming, pollution, electric cars and how people's choices affect the environment. He's writing a school report on the topic, and is doing a little SurveyMonkey survey. I...

I just took my Signature in for an unrelated service (alignment). They also did a whole bunch of other updates. One from the list is "resealing behind tail lights". The exact text is: Customer Concern: Service Bulletin to be Applied Cause: resealed behind tailights Correction: Liftgate Water...

I got my car back from service to get the compressor noise solved. To answer the question below: reorienting the wiring harness is for the loud compressor noise, not the whine from the fan. I can say that the fix does reduce, but not eliminate, the sound. Now, I can hear the compressor come...

I have this issue as well... The car is in the service center today to have it resolved. Apparently the solution is to re-orient/route the wiring harness. I'll let you know tonight/tomorrow if it's fixed.

I just configured my Model S configuration (Performance with everything) and it's $1516/month ($1466/month if you remove monthly gas bill)... so, a bit higher than $500.

Bloomberg just annoucend: Model S leasing for $500/month

You'll love your 85. It accelerates faster, and that is a very valuable attribute.

The SECOND book in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy 5 part trilogy (? pentogy?) is "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe". Therefore I bet the announcement is a SuperCharger partnership with a major restaurant chain (Starbux).

Mat, the Tesla service guy, recommends the place across the street from the Tesla Service Center (sunshine?).

I read that the woman is a Exxon employee, and she crashed the car to prove electric cars are unsafe. Or perhaps it was that she's a Saudi? Either way... I'm sure there's a bigger story behind this.

I think the comments above about aerodynamics are correct. The way the air comes off the back of the car deposits grime on the rear 1/3 of the car. I have white, and the back 1/3 of the car is filthy, but the front is clean as a whistle.

The battery has it's own heater (different than the roadster).
