Great info in this thread! I've installed the EV Tuning upgrade harness / microswitches, but the handle doesn't work still. Does not present, and does not open the door when pulled. I disassembled the door handle again, reinstalled everything, the paddle gear, original one, wasn't broken, to...

Thanks for the advice! Making my own is tempting, it doesn't seem hard to do . I guess I'm at a point in my life where I'm tired of DIY mechanical work (I have an AE86 too) - I rather put in some extra effort at work. and pay for bolt on parts, or pay others to do it. If only I had a warm...

.... and now I sent a request to cancel, that company manufacture their own Model S calipers - the crossover tubes are probably for those.

I need the U-shaped "crossover line" (hard line) that goes from the first two pistons to the other two - On the same caliper. Original caliper (not mine): I just placed an order for these: Caliper Crossover Tubes (1 left & 1 right) For EVO 8/9, STi, CamaroSS, CTSV, Tesla 4 Pot Front Calipers...

My brake caliper connection lines have rusted again. My car is now out of warranty, and Tesla quote USD 1.150 for 2 of these shipped to my door (!!). These lines sell for USD 50 or so from parts-stores, but I've searched and cannot seem to find the right ones. I wish I had a local shop that can...

When I got the car the leather seats were really dry, hard, pale, didn't look like leather at all but some fake leather of some sort. I got some Lexol 3-in-1 leather care on and the seats look and feel a lot better, but I suspect Tesla haven't used the best leather. There are pics on this forum...

That's impressive work! I was planning to wrap my car as well, and chose the solid black paintjob. I regret that now since I'm not going ahead with the wrap (yet), and now have to care for this horribly soft paint every week. To me Tesla really haven't provided us with any nice color choices...

Is pulling the ABS-fuse the only way to disable stability control? When driving on snow the SC is really annoying, as I like to have a little bit of a tail out now and then, even during everyday driving. But I don't want to disable ABS, brake assist, and power steering..... In my dreams I see a...

Great info for us living way up north! I'm picking up my car next month and I want to really stretch it the very first day: Go 385 km before charging, in about -5 deg C. Could I possibly make it if I average 70 kmh? According to JurassicTest my route has a few elevation changes as well, and...

I'm trying to figure out if I can use the stock all-seasons Goodyear Eagle RS-A2's to get me home when I get my car. It will be late november, in northern Norway, and I have a 720km trip to get home. After reading this thread: FE5 19 All-Season Tire Package: How would you rate the Goodyear...

Reviving this to get some more pics! I want to see more 20"s. 22"s is NOT an option for me :) So to whoever posted in this thread before, you have to show us how your wheel choice turned out.

I agree that the info on the Vossen CV1's is useful. From what I recall those wheels are like follows (disregarding the change in wheel diameter and tyre choices): 22x9 et30 = Wheel is 16,35mm further out towards fender lip, and you gain 3,75 mm between the suspension arm and wheel (compared to...

Clearly not the same wheels, but something P40SC'ish :) Thanks for any pics with aftermarket wheels, though...

I also was very very disappointed when I saw that pic of the cloth seats. Looks cheaper than cheap, and I even wrote to Tesla demanding that I get the US-type seats with the pleather sides. But I've heard arguments that the rollbar-type headrest probably isn't very safe, and that the pleather...

First the headliner, then the foglights and LED's, and now this! That's it, I'm cancelling! (unless someone in the US wants to switch jumpseats with me.........)

Doug_G, why don't you make a separate thread about that nasty corrosion-issue? It would be interesting to see if anyone else has this. I wonder what Tesla will do about it. Reading through this whole thread (yes, it should be chopped up) I'm getting a bit nervous about being 700km from the...

Is that Hexis or 3M, or some other brand of film?

fluxemag, that's bad news! I guess you won't post any pictures until things are resolved with Vossen? ;)

Best lookin' wrapped Model S so far, no contest! It's also great to hear that such wheel-widths (9.5 front and 10,5 rear) now are proven to fit. EDIT: I found the specs in that other Vossen post: Vossen CV1 matte graphite 22x9 et30 and 22x10.5 et38 (or are the offset-info swapped?). Compared...

All I want to say is: Don't underestimate the sales potential in tiny Norway. Practically everyone I know of talks about Tesla, and wants one too, and not because of me preaching! The Model S is the bargain of the century over here, and sales of electric cars are soaring. Even without the...

Hey parcelshelfy people! Am I imagining things, or did someone somewhere claim that this shelf eliminates buffeting / turbulence / whatever-you-call-it when driving with the pano-roof open? If so I might consider getting this smellshelf.

I took my worries and questions here: http://www.elbilforum.no (nowegian EV forum). Didn't know it existed. Easier to discuss in my native tongue when it comes to norway-specific stuff :) (home-electrics, rules regarding company cars, options specific for europe and so on)

I'll call my insurance, as their calculator didnt work; I could chose Tesla but not the model (If insurance). Anyone agree with me about the cost of wheels? See calculation above. Regarding the new options I'm sure I would get parking sensors, but the winter package I'm not so sure about...

Things have changed since I reserved the TMS. I've met a great girl, with two kids, and we're getting a house, which costs about NOK 4 mill (USD 700.000) around here. So my plan to cash out a P85 needs to be reconsidered. I really want to get the Model S, and the time to finalize is rapidly...

Where I live the Mercedes S-class is one of the most rapidly depreciating cars you can buy......

Funnily, in 8 years of owning 2 old Toyotas, the only problems that have left me stranded were when the alternator broke in both cars, and once when the battery was dead (my own fault). Easily fixed by myself, and reconditioned alternators are dirt cheap on Ebay. Can someone summarize how many...

Emergency- / hazardlights / 4 way flashers would also cause other cars to stop to check if I'm ok :) What if I need to use the cars lights as a light source, for instance to help another driver change wheels by the road in the dark?

Remember, I drove the car for the first time, maybe for a total of 30 minutes, in snowy weather. It was a bit fogged up also. So my experience with it is pretty limited. I don't know why I thought that the camera would be able to see a really wide angle, but I was hoping for that. I usually use...

Considering the amount of exposure to the english language, my english should be much much better than it is :) I think norwegian students these days start their english-classes at around 7-8 years of age, but I'm not entirely sure.

I don't understand why the car is set up this way. What if I'd need to stop on a stretch of road in the dark and get out of the car. I'd definitely want the lights to stay on so other cars coming from behind could see my car.

I did my first test-drive of the Model S P85 yesterday in Oslo. The weather was not ideal, it was -5 C, snowing / sleet, and since it was friday at 3.30PM most of the test drive was spent sitting in rush-hour traffic. I did get to drive a few kilometres in the bus-lane on the freeway though...

I got the invite, but can't attend :( so all of you other guys have to show up and ask all the questions I was gonna ask! I'm in Oslo the whole week after the 6th, so missed the meet by a few days, but getting to do a testdrive on the 15th kind of makes up for it. :)

I'm P2206, and would be very sinnsykt ecstatic if I got mine before the end of the year! Snow no hindrance!

I change my mind about what color and interior to get every day! And probably will for the next year until i have to finalize. The only colors that are out of the question: Green, plain white, and black. It's interesting to see what the different colors do to the lines, shapes and size of the...

I'm not entirely sure why I crave the Model S so much. I simply haven't experienced this got-to-have-it feeling before. I'm not an early adopter type, I've bought my first gen Galaxy phone and iPad used. I don't worry about global warming, hell, I wouldn't mind it being 15 degrees warmer all...

Greatest idea ever. People in snowy and icy places really hate scraping ice while waiting for the car to heat up. Electric car-cabin pre-heaters (and engine-block heaters) have a huge market up here in the northern countries for that very reason. If Tesla offered heated windshields, and of...

Would definitely like to see more brown cars with grey / gunmetal wheels. The only picture that's here as of now does not look good, but I think totally black wheels still could be an option (se examples below, the only combination I could find with a quick google). Maybe the original Silver...
