    Parking Sensor Installation Stories & Pics

    Yes they provide both audible and visible alert as you get closer to items in front and back. My front bumper install has a switch so that I can turn it off when I am in stop and go traffic.

    Parking Sensors - Any Aftermarket Recommendations

    I had front and rear parking sensors installed by Al and Ed's in West Hollywood. They were able to color match the bumper and nose cone. The installation looks like a factory install. The only thing that would be better would have been if it had been possible to integrate into the Tesla...

    All regular 85kwh owners, help required

    I similarly went back and forth between the P85 and the reg85. Ultimately. I went with the non perf option solely due to the cost differential and value equation. If you can afford it then go for the Performance because you will have no regrets. If however you are stretching for the 85 then...

    2012 Annual 10K is out

    Interesting that they reported a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting due to an error in its cash flow statement. It is unfortunate that what appears to be an inadvertent gross up of components of the statement it was determined to rise to the level of a material weakness.
