    Consumer Reports withdraws recommendation for Tesla Model S

    I was one of the first to buy a MS. My vin was 715. I never had an issue with that car. I am now on my second MS and have ordered a MX for my wife. As far as I can tell these cars are extremely reliable.

    Reactions to Model X reveal event

    The MX may not be perfect for everyone, certainly not for me. But when I look at the competition there is no question MX is a far better vehicle. And the icing on the cake is that it produces no pollution!! To me that seals the deal even if it is more expensive than others. We ignore the cost to...

    35K-50K price point? Leasing or Buying? And 1st day announcement # orders discussion

    1. Since it will be electric = no pollution I would buy regardless of price 2. I would probably lease as a company car 3. for the MS I was #671 in the queue, #80 for MX. Hopefully I will be within the first 20 for the M3

    How important is it for you that the 2nd row seats of the Model X are stowable?

    Not a deal breaker for me... the most important thing is NO POLLUTION.... I am willing to make trade offs on other things.

    19" and 21" Tire Wear (informal) Survey

    Life span of a Model S 21" tire Does anyone know what the life span of a 21" Model S tire should be if driven in a normal fashion? My Model S needed all 4 tires replaced with only 12,000 miles. I drive conservatively and was expecting at least 20,000 miles.

    Favorite Tesla Employee

    Really hard to choose one. They all have been great at the Dania Beach store. I have not met one employee who does not shine. I would have to nominate the entire Dania store employees. ALL are great.

    Mic Location

    I wonder about the mic location... when sunroof is open I can't talk on my iPhone using bluetooth and the onboard mic. The wind noise coming in from the open sunroof is too much and people can not hear me. Any ideas if this can be fixed?

    swegman: Car won't turn on (screens are dark)

    I am sorry for your troubles. Florida has something called "Lemon Law" which means that if you get a "lemon" you can have to be given a new car.... hope there is a law like that where you live. Knowing Tesla's customer service, however, you will not need to use any laws. I am sure Tesla will...

    First Day Thoughts: #1 -- You Don't Need the P85. The 85 is more than Plenty.

    I ordered my Signature P85 with all the bells and whistles .... and I am 100% satisfied... would do it again I didn't need a Model S... I could have purchased a Prius... but I did buy it and I am glad I did. I set up the Sound system with all the settings on max and it sounds awesome... better...

    Why is the Model X Reservation Agreement from FLORIDA?

    Tesla does have a store in Dania Beach which is in Ft. Lauderdale and where I physically got delivery of my car. I live in Miami.

    Why Would You Buy A Model X over an AWD Model S

    At least you guys have a purpose, be it dogs, telescopes or something. My wife simply wants an SUV. Our dog is so small it fits in a prius so no excuse there.

    Model S - HPWC (High Power Wall Connector)

    Living in Miami where the sun shines strong the sunroof glass gets hot. Recently, the temperature outside was around 84 degrees. I had left the car parked out in the open for a couple of hours. When I got back into the car to drive home, I noticed the top of my head was warmer. It wasn't too bad...

    Panoramic Roof - No Sun Shade Needed?

    Living in Miami I need the sunroof shade... When I park my car outside in the sun and I come back I feel the heat on my head and it is not even 85 degrees here yet. I dont want to think how it will be when it is 98 degrees. So definitely I do need the sunroof shade

    If Tesla Company Ever Closes, Will There Be Support For Us Buyers?

    I really want Tesla to succeed but the possibility always exists. I believe if that were to happen, the cars already built would become collectible items. In a few years when more cars "leave" the road due to accidents and other reasons, those still on the road would be more valuable.

    Consumer Reports takes delivery of their Model S

    I have owned my Model S for 3 months now and I love it. I have seen some bugs but they are minor... like my iPhone does not always connect and small stuff like that. Those details are bothersome but they are minor compared to how great this car is. I am sure CR will find basically the same...

    Tag and Title Problems

    I got my Model S back on November 13th 2012 (a date I will happily remember forever). So far I love my car. I do have a small problem. Tesla has dropped the ball when it comes to getting me a tag and title. By DMV's law, only two temp tags can be issued. I called Tesla Ownership to find out...
