    Random Model S sightings

    Actually that's what makes it even more dangerous, since the body of the car isn't absorbing the impact, your own body will. Why do you think the Model S has proved to be so safe? Because of the large crumple zones that lengthen the impact deceleration time, thus reducing the force. Where are...

    Purple Model S

    Yes it's matte as well, although most of the time they almost look black, the sun has to be shining directly at them to see the grey. Here's a closeup: Can also get them with silver center caps like I did.

    Random Model S sightings

    I think I've seen the same white model S, grey 21" wheels, in rancho santa margarita about 3 times over the past month

    Purple Model S

    Haha, I have those same exact wheels on my car, but in the dolphin grey finish (Avant Garde M310).

    Hyperloop

    Does this design make any sense to anyone here? Apparently someone claiming to be an alien (Lol) came up with this years ago:

    Saw a red model S with grey 21" wheels in foothill ranch about 4:30 yesterday.

    Model S Price Increase discussion

    No that would be insane, it's only $1500 on the Model S.

    Model S Price Increase discussion

    How does a carbon fiber spoiler cost $1600 on that M5? I can buy a carbon fiber hood, trunk, and spoiler for less than that on my car, and still have money left over. Maybe there's solid gold under that carbon fiber.

    Front license plate - does it actually affect Wh/mi?

    It's illegal to cover the license plate with anything in cali, you'd be more likely to be pulled over with that than not have a front plate on at all.
  10. Q

    Front license plate - does it actually affect Wh/mi?

    If you get a fixit ticket just temporarily install the front plate using velcro or tape, and grind down some screws and glue the ends of them to the holes to make it look like you actually screwed the plate in.

    Looking for new rims for 19in wheels

    You could go with these, they look similar to the turbine wheels and they're pretty light and inexpensive.
  13. Q

    My new wheels are on! Opinions?

    Can you ask them if I can be included in the group buy but for the 19", except I have a kia optima and not a telsa. But hey they look good on our cars too :biggrin:

  18. Q

    Should EVs Make Artificial Sounds at Low Speeds?

    I've never seen a blind person cross the street in my life, so I don't think it's fair to make every car make a certain amount of noise. If they want to accommodate the very few amount of blind people, they can upgrade their crosswalk technology like we have in my area.

    You could print it and then cut each piece out so you can put it together by hand. I'd do it but I don't have a printer with me at the moment.

    There's a new banner up, it looks like it involves html and a website. I tried converting the font into regular text, this is what I got: <TDPAB="DRRA://RFKYAFS.SMJ?PAB=257G3E8" RTPCAR="_EJTKH"><FJCQPS="DRRA://F46.RFKYAFS.SMJ/257G3E8.GAC" EMPLAP="0" TJR="FITCATRLVFLAMDMQRFKCEYRFKYAFS"></T> I...

    Maybe the next clue is buried in a physical location that somebody has to actually go out and retrieve.

    I saw my first one today, a grey one with grey 21" wheels, outside of Walgreens in Irvine.

    Tesla Blvd Photos

    I knew I recognized that building as soon as I saw it, I live in this area as well but I don't remember the Tesla sign being there.
  25. Q

    Random Model S sightings

    If you get aftermarket wheels they're a lot cheaper than manufacture-installed ones. There are also obviously a lot more options to pick from. I came across these, which look like a chrome version of the tesla 21" wheels.

    The file name says g-iii so I'm guessing it has something to do with news about the gen3 car.

    Gen III Range & Pricing Speculation

    Anyone see the "one two one 7 two zero one two" banner at the top of the forum? In number form that is 12/17/2012, and if you right-click the image and click "view image" the file name is "g-iii". Does this mean something?

    Gen3 "BlueStar" 2-door coupe styling ideas

    That looks like a death trap, you'd hate to get into a head-on collision in that. Why would you think tesla wouldn't want the car to have a hood? Given that it makes you a lot safer in crashes, and also acts as a storage compartment, it would be stupid not to have one. Also keep in mind elon...

    Fisker Karma

    The fisker karma was just featured on a jay leno episode, here it is: 2012 Fisker Karma - Jay Lenos Garage - YouTube Toward the end fisker said a few hundred have been sold so far, and that it had only been out for a few months. I thought deliveries started in July of last year?

    Westerndh's Model S pick up & Elon's 400 mile single charge challenge

    Are you allowed to draft behind a truck on the 400 mile challenge? That would make it easy, 500 miles while drafting the entire time at a constant 20mph would even be possible.

    Tesla DC Store -- Super Busy, or just non-responsive?

    Well there's your problem. Why would they return your call for an appointment for December 21st when the world is going to end on that date? You really can't blame Tesla for this one.

    Bob Lutz on the Future

    I disagree, I think some of the cadillacs are the best looking cars in their price range when you compare them to the competition.

    Zinc-air batteries

    What if they paired the battery with some ultra capacitors to solve that problem?
