    Spare 21" Continental tire

    This is a tire I kept as a spare when I had 21" wheels. I've since downsized to 19" wheels and no longer have a need for this. Rather than discard, I am listing here for $100 obo.

    How to Prepare 128 GB USB Drive for Use in Model S

    What a timely thread. This morning I was actually researching similar micro USB drives. My question to the community is... Does it matter if I format this thumb drive on a Mac vs a PC? As long as its in the FAT format it should be compatible between both computers, right?

    Bluetooth issues Model S and iOS 8.4

    I've noticed spotty Bluetooth performance too since upgrading to the Samsung Galaxy S6. Granted, it's the android platform and different than the OP, but it is noticeably less reliable than what it was with my S4.

    Nema plug on side wall or centre pillar?

    I put mine on the center pillar. On the rare occasion that I park on the left the cable will reach comfortably. Usually most of the cable is coiled on a hook just beneath the outlet because the distance to the charging port ends up being about 2 feet. Although the cable is quite thick and...

    Liftgate Slamming Shut with Firmware V6.0

    I have noticed this phenomenon as well. I have wondered as to the exact cause. I will have to test out the open door theory. Ironically the liftgate seemed to be functioning perfectly for the first 15 - 16 months of ownership. I have only recently noticed the slamming shut phenomena...

    Is this a new feature? (Aw shucks, no it isn't)

    So I was watching a news clip on the USA Today website about the Gigafactory when I saw a screen shot of a Model S display. The graphic on the left shows what appears to be a range estimate calculator that I have not seen before. The car is apparently new with only 317 miles as of the date...

    Owning a Model S as a Renter

    Yes, this is doable but it depends on your level of patience, length of commute, time commitments, etc. One of the beauties of the car is that you don't have to muck around with public charging due to the large battery capacity. Range anxiety does not need to be an issue with this car...

    Interested in 3rd row seat ventilation?

    I have tinted windows and I recently bought the sunshade. I took the kids on a 3 hour road trip in the Texas heat and had zero complaints about cabin temperature. I don't think the shade is as effective as tinting but definite augments the effect.

    Reversing into a parking spot

    If I recall correctly, the rear wheels stick out a bit further than the front wheels. This can cause your car to be crooked in the parking spot even though you thought that you were parallel with the parking line when reversing in.

    Texas Supercharger Locations (location speculation, discussion)

    I attended the event this morning. Despite the historic significance, I was somewhat underwhelmed but enjoyed the event nonetheless. At about 9:10 Richard DiMarco, Tesla Mid-South Regional Service Manager (in dark blazer in pic above), gave brief welcoming comments. He introduced the mayor of...

    Texas Supercharger Locations (location speculation, discussion)

    I don't think the parking spots will be covered. The fence posts will likely support a wooden fence surrounding the supercharger "equipment boxes/Tesla transformers" similar to the set-up in San Marcos.

    TxTag/EZpass

    I had marginal success with the windshield placement in the black dotted area. This worked for the pass through booths but took about a minute for the gates with arms to register. I ended up requesting a plate tag and installing behind the nose cone. No issues since. I received my car in February.

    Texas Supercharger Locations (location speculation, discussion)

    I agree that once the lightening bolt shows up on the map this will be a non-issue. I guess I am holding out hope for one of the canopy-type stations with solar panels being built somewhere in Texas. This would not only be great for marketing, but it just looks cool!

    Agreed. I snapped these photos 8.23. I wonder what the wooden framing is for...perhaps another elevated concrete platform to protect equipment from possible flooding. Although it was great to see another supercharging station in the making, I was somewhat dismayed by the actual location...
