I'd like the graph to scale accordingly to the highest peaks and valleys you have. Showing a static -300 to +900 isn't useful if most of my driving is between 200 and 600. Would be great to have more granularity about my current driving. Just knowing that I'm doing better/worse than rated by...

Just drive with the backup camera on all the time in the upper portion of the display. That'll desensitize you. :biggrin:

I just got my update to 4.3 (had 4.2 since I picked up at the factory about a month ago). Set the scheduled charge. Once I plugged the HPWC in, I noticed that my charge rate was dialed back to 60A. Once I tried to increase it, I got a pop-up window with the notice, and a link to the website...

Got my update this morning, and updated at work. I can finally remove the 12:05AM daily alarm I setup on my iPhone to remember to charge the car. When I plugged my HPWC in, I also got a notice about limiting the charge to 60A (the default charge amp actually changed from 80 to 60 once I...

Mine looks the same as the photo from the first post in this thread, minus the wear and tear. P05718.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot. I'm still getting used to where everything is in the controls menu, so sometimes it takes me a bit of time to reorient myself. And since I drop my son off at the school curb in a drive-thru fashion, time is of the essence. Last thing I need is some soccer mom...

Out of curiosity, I looked up the Mercedes mbrace system. $280/year, plus $28/month to get all the bells and whistles including in car internet yadda yadda yadda. Basically, you are buying your car a phone line (looks like it has a concierge service as part of the plan). That's over...

I put my 2.5 year old daughter back there as well, even though she's slightly below both the height and weight requirement. Luckily the shoulder straps have lots of room to move, so it seems to work fine. My only complaint about the seats is that they are very upright. It's not easy for them...

Still waiting for v4.3 (getting tired of waiting up until midnight to plug in, but I've been getting lots of Tiger Woods 2014 time in on the Xbox), but I have a question on the scheduled charging. After scheduled charging is set, is it smart enough to know not to charge any other time? My...

I used Glare polish. See artsci's post on his testing of different polishes. :) However, if you are planning on getting PPF applied, I'm pretty sure most shops will polish and wax it themselves before applying the film. Premier did this for me. There were some scratches in the clear coat...

Got the car back on Wednesday, and the PPF and tint job turned out awesome. When I went to pick up, there was a white Model S in to have work done as well. Paint protection film on everything that is painted, as well as the headlamps and nosecone. They rolled the film under the hood and body...

Does anybody know if the black lugnuts are black all the way through? Or are they painted? If they are painted, does anybody have a recommendation on a socket with a "soft" liner on the inside? Would be pretty silly to have the gray wheels and see bits of shiny metal on the bolts if they...

Ok, I take back what I said before. I must have just either had a good connection or wasn't paying attention enough. Got my car back last night, and had new music cached from Spotify. I did see a delay where just the music icon was shown at first, then I got entirely different album artwork...

My car is currently at Premier. I'm the first black Model S they've gotten to work on. Agree on the auto porn. There was a McLaren, Lamborghini, 911 Turbo, and a green Model S in the shop when I dropped off a week and a half ago. Can't wait till I get the car back tomorrow!

Awesome! That'll look nice against the red piping of the Performance seats.

I can offer up after pics (P05718) tomorrow when I get my car back (I'm sure somebody will beat me to it though). I do have to say that I'm 6', and like to drive with the seat farther back, and I've not had any issues touching the entrance leather on either the front or the rear. So either I'm...

Al and Ed's needs to apply for a TV reality series ala West Coast Customs style. Would love to see the entire build up, including all the "tense" drama involved. :biggrin: Looking forward to seeing the final product. Looks awesome in bits and pieces so far.

Even the dust loves awesomeness. :biggrin: But it's also springtime, and there is lots of pollen in the air. My bright blue Subaru gets a coating of pollen every day just sitting at my office, not parked next to any trees.

Sunnyvale works out awesome for me as I work near the 101-237-Milpitas clusterf**k. I'm guessing it would be service only. Guess I should go to Menlo Park just to say I've been. haha On another note, I got an RSVP to a Tesla event tomorrow evening for the grand opening of the expansion at...

I don't believe the album art is coming over 3G, and here's why I think that. :smile: With a paid subscription, Spotify allows you to cache music locally. I have about 500 or so songs cached on my iPhone. I can randomly pick any song from that, and the album art shows instantaneously...

As an FYI, with my iPhone 5, I can stream BT audio from Spotify, and the album artwork is displayed. So it is possible.

The home and control tabs show the correct gray 21s for me, but the climate tab shows the silver 21s.

Well, at the very least, you can use the rear view camera to "look out the back" at night.

Saw a white MS parked at AVAC in San Jose this morning. Actually, I see this same one almost every Sunday about 10:30AM. Good luck on getting in your car though. With those tiny-tears parking spots, the Prius that parked on your left basically gave you about a foot to open your door. I'm...

SolarCity installed an interim 14-50 for me because they said it was easier for customers since Tesla was forgetting to give out the 6-50 to customers. It also works out better I believe as the 14-50 is more common in the wild, and you'd be stuck with a 6-50 plug. My DS said they normally don't...

I barely made 100 in my 3 weeks of ownership. I'm such a bad owner. Itching to drive it fast once I get it back with paint armor on. :)

They were stringent on me and my 5.5 year old. Even though it was a weekend, and the factory wasn't running anything crazy, they put the kibosh on it.

Is this kit even worth it? I'm on the fence about buying it. Tesla provides roadside assistance. My insurance also has roadside assistance. So I can always have my car towed either to Tesla or to a tire shop. Other than the time I would have to wait for a tow truck to arrive, what's the...

The Bluetooth HID profile might not be present. Without that, you won't get any BT keyboard or mouse working.

Well by this theory, they need to up their rental car fleet to BEVs, and not crap ICEs from Enterprise. Just sayin'.

There was an article earlier this year that they've distributed less than 25% of the 40k available green stickers. Not sure if this is because sales are low for the PHEV, people just don't know about it, or they just plain forgot. So if it continues at this rate, even the green stickers might...

I'll update in the planned modifications thread as its more appropriate there.

I just have some before pics I snapped on my driveway. Car should be done either Friday or Saturday of this coming week. Then I'll post some before and after pics. Premier didn't want to do the black vinyl on the chrome bits. From their past work, the vinyl tends to weather faster than the...

My car is currently in the shop getting wrapped. It's fun to "see" them working on the car through the mobile app. They must have been working late last night, because my frunk was open for a long time, but then I checked this morning and it was closed. GPS also shows the approximate angle of...

I'd imagine that the programming information is stored in a piece of non-volatile memory. So as long as the memory doesn't get corrupted (and it shouldn't, because they are using automotive qualified electronics parts that have higher standards), it doesn't matter whether it's powered or not.

I agree, but we probably need a realistic number here. The speed limit on I-5 is 70. If you go 60, you'll get crushed or somebody will road rage you, or you'll be stuck behind all the truckers, getting blasted with wind and rocks and what have you. And everybody knows that the defacto speed...

We need more San Jose peeps!

In reference to the jump seats, I found that the latch that folds the headrests is extremely tight. You have to yank on the latch hard to get it to fold. The rest of the process works with very little effort. So if you are stuck on the same step, try pulling harder on the metal handle to release...

I live in San Jose and work in Sunnyvale, and only see a Model S every few days (today I saw 2 white ones), but haven't only seen maybe 1 or 2 the rest of the week. I think if you are on the peninsula, then you'll see a lot. All the money is there. Us poor folk in the south bay don't get that...

Another lifelong manual driver here, so creep mode has been off from the beginning. I'm just too used to having to apply input to get something to move.

Called Solar City two days ago. Was promised a callback today to schedule installation, but nada. Guess I gotta get on the horn again. The faster Solar City finishes the install, the faster they get paid for a completed job. Just sayin'.

Taking the MS in tomorrow to get tint, vinyl and a full PPF. Pretty pumped. Going the "murdered out" look. Not really interested in CF-look vinyl as it always looks tacky when up close, so I'm just going to go for all blacks and grays. I'm hoping that true CF parts come out in the future for...

My driver reading light won't click any more. The light works fine, as it comes on when entering the car, but the mechanical button isn't working when I try to turn it on manually. Guess that means I shouldn't read my newspaper while driving. :p I'll get it fixed at service eventually (maybe...

People generalizing and stereotyping groups from the comfort of their keyboard over the internet? Say it isn't so... :rolleyes:

Well I'm sure you'll hate this, but my HPWC arrived on my doorstep yesterday. Reservation 12645, P05718. Wasn't expecting it at all (I was actually expecting the end of the month). Almost feel guilty having mine when I know others that have been in line much longer than me haven't gotten...

I saw a fully loaded car carrier carrying some gray, blue, white and black MSes on I-5S just south of Sacramento. Kind of weird to see it there as it's nowhere near the factory. My only guess is that maybe they dropped one off in Sacto, and found it more cost effective to run some cars south...

That's when you call in Mr Wolf.

antochat's nickname for his Tesla Model S.

I believe the claim is that Aquapel lasts longer than Rain-X. I've never tried Aquapel, but have used Rain-X a lot in the past. I did put Aquapel on the Model S a few days back. Sorry, can't give you any more insight than that as it hasn't rained yet. :) I will say that if you do Aquapel, one...
