I recently sold my 2013 Model S P85 which I was totally in love with. Reason - I am moving from USA to UK. Now, having an extra person to accommodate I started looking at 7 seat vehicles. I was shocked at how much better the build quality is on the Volvo XC90 than the Model X. The interior...

I am currently using a Buffalo MiniStation Stealth 1TB USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive - HD-PCT1U2/BK. It was not recognized with the NTFS format but after I reformatted to FAT32 everything worked without a problem.

I haven't tried an SSD, but I am happily using a 1TB portable USB hard drive (platter) containing FLAC files. As long as you format the drive using FAT32 it should work. Most platters come with NTFS so you need to reformat them before using in the Model S. I have found no issues with car motion...

I had exactly the same experience. I think the normal open plan space on the floor is great. It's far more flexible than a center console and because it is so large can be used for a multitude of different things. After 6 weeks of heavy practical use, I would consider a center console a...

Tried the same hard acceleration thing in the same location with the tires all at 42 lb and this time I felt no fishtailing. I wonder if anyone else checked their tire pressures after experiencing this effect. It is odd that the car would be delivered with excessive pressure on 2 tires. 42 is...

I experienced very strong fishtailing when accelerating hard from 10 mph on a straight uphill ramp. Later I discovered the car was delivered with tires at 42 lb on the driver's side and 52 lb on the offside. After 700 miles the "tire pressure too high" warning message appeared. I have set them...

Make sure you try the system with Dolby switched OFF. I find that the Dolby option makes everything sound flat, mushy and muddled. I think the Tesla Premium stereo is pretty good if you turn Dolby off and center the sound on the driver's seat. The speakers are not quite as good as the $2,000 B+W...

I have confirmed that several portable USB hard drives formatted with FAT32 will work fine with the Model S music system. However those formatted with NTFS will definitely NOT work and I suspect strongly that exFAT will also NOT work. I now am using a new 1TB Buffalo Ministation Stealth 2.0...

A used 300GB hard drive is worth about $25 max, so not much of a thief magnet. I'd be more worried about a flash drive of similar size which would be more like $400 in value and I would keep that in my pocket. All my music is stored on my home computer, so I can easily recreate the disk if...

I keep it in the center storage well attached to one of the USB slots. The USB cable is about 10 inches long.

I've been using a Toshiba USB 300GB Hard Drive for 3 years in my last 2 cars and have never had a problem as long as the car system supports them. I am pleased to find the Model S works fine with mine. Specific models are designed to be rugged and portable and I have not found them to be...

I find a four minute track takes about 24 MB when compressed using FLAC encoding. USB hard drives are considerably cheaper than USB flash drives for the same amount of storage. 1TB drive costs about $70. But it is possible you may need to reformat with FAT for Model S to read them. I am...

USB External Hard Drive Works I'm on 4.2. I can use my Toshiba 300GB USB External Hard Drive to store FLAC music files (44.1 Hz Stereo) and they play fine through the car system. The file system is FAT - maybe that is the secret as I see other people have had problems with NTFS. All I need is...

2011 Jaguar XJ Polaris White / Truffle + Ivory Bowers & Wilkins 24,000 miles. Can deliver.
