Pearl White? I was sure that was the Silver until you said that. Awesome shots though. Looks futuristic so its a perfect theme.

One of the most enjoyable reviews of the S I have seen. Loved the Blues Brothers reference and the Barry White song :D

Get your wheels balanced to see if that helps. Thats what I would do first if its minor.

Hmm, I wonder if my kid will miss her toes that much...?

Man, I really dislike holier than thou animal activists' attitude. Man have used animals for all time. And as long as people eat them, why not utilize their hides as well. There are FAR more important issues in the world than this. It would be a lot more admirable to put as much time and energy...

Beautifully shot video. Love it Very cool that you guys at IGN did a car like Tesla. I'm currently enjoying your video walkthrough of "The Last of Us" a lot. When I am not sure how to progress. Or it gets too freakin' scary :scared:

A Ford Focus, yes sure. An R8 V10 at full pipes, no. That metallic howl is just heavenly. If you don't get that, you were never a "car person" to begin with. No offense :) Not that there has to be anything wrong with that. Cool story, efusco! Must have been a pain having to drive those cars of...

Nicely done. I have to say.

Awesome. I will have a car that's on Wrecked Exotics! I mean.. Its a sad sight. Definitely.

Thanks Captain.

Everything is possible. But it may be a lot harder to make possible in the Model S, due to the sensor in the drivers seat. So it would take a lot more than a mere swap.

Yea. "Take one for the team". It's a dirty job but someones gotta do it. :cool: Teslas are better in every way but a Maserati is still a Maserati. So you should just act reluctant and take him up on his offer for a weekend. Just say that you will hand over yours with a full battery and say that...

When James accelerates: "Ouuuwwhh! Yeeah-heeaah-Yeeaarh!"

Great thread. Keep em' comin'! And feel free to add some of your different personal experiences with the car. Cheers.

What an awesome post, Doug_G! Thanks a bunch for sharing. And I really appreciate your elaborate desciption of the handling. Well done. I wonder if the P+ has a better cooling system. Bummer if not. All that extra handling goodness and you might only be able to use it for barely 2 laps before...

Those guys are funny. And weird. They must really like the Tesla though.

Thx mate. Useful info. I guess the MS just isn't a car you take to the track for a full day. One should have an M5 or S6 or something to pull the Tesla on a trailer to the track and then use that when the juice is gone on the MS :cool:

Could anyone with the standard suspension measure how much ground clearance it has? Is it 5,5 inches - 6,5 inches maybe? And have anyone tried it with people and luggage on board? From the description of the firm ride, it sounds like it shouldn't sag or anything. Even with extra load in it. Can...

Lol!

Great vids! Thanks for posting. You are hitting the apexes nicely. Those two first guys you overtook were all over the place. But perhaps they were just playing around. The 2 final laps on the first video has an almost identical laptime. Nicely done. I take my car to the track every year myself...

Best one. Elementary, really.

Whoa, that looks great! It sits pretty, nice and snug in the arches. No need for lowering. A soothing sight. So glad to hear that it rides stiff. Exactly how a drivers car should be. Responsive and not sluggish. And to hear something like that come out stock from an American car company blows my...

Awesome! Could we ask you to post a picture straight from the side? Would like to see how it sits in the wheelarches and how much space there is. Cheers.

Yea, that's true. For the sake of the Tesla driver I hope that it went down something like that and it can be proved. Seems a lot more likely than the car just suddenly veering into oncoming.

Ouch. Seems scenario a) is the most probable according to the witness. If that is the case, then fault lies with both the Tesla and the Merc. And if someone testifies to seeing them racing, then I can imagine there will be serious consequences. More than there have already been that is :( The...

And they release the full name of the Tesla owner/driver as well.. Gruesome stuff. Sounds more likely that a third car is involved. Could better explain a sudden veering into oncoming. I hope we get the full story. Sad as it is.

Really sweet lookin'. Now you just need some black wrap on the doorhandles so they just disappear with the car. People will be like, "whaaaaat, that car aint got no doorhandles!"

Thats a pretty great idea. Kudos

Thats a bummer :-( What I do not understand is why they dont just fit all the cars with the backseats that has the mounts for the rear jump seats?? Then anyone can install later if they want. Secondhand owners and whatnot. That would equal more sales - profit for Tesla.

I'm no Tesla owner so I cant answer your lights question. But I just had to compliment your great photos. Just love that black the more I see it. Gorgeous! I will probably choose the same color myself. I wouldnt mind even more shots of the interiors too. Im sure some non-Tesla owners would...

Yes, its the fog light that is required by law in Norway (and many other countries). Tesla was asked about this at the recent Tesla event in Norway, and it was revealed that the fog light will be incorporated in the existing lights somehow. (On the european models, I presume) No extra light like...

Yea, that would be convenient. And when they start waving with rainbow colored flags, then you are definitely not straight.

Surprisingly, you pretty much always get a slightly faster acceleration time with smaller rims and higher profile. A swedish magazine tested a Golf GTI with same tires but different sizes. 18, 17, 16 and 15". And the smaller ones got a couple of tenths faster from the one above. Assuming that...

Ah sweet. Thanks Plug Me In! Great shots. I saw a few other pictures where the lighting made it hard to tell how the textile seats really looked. But they look exquisite. And seem pretty durable too. Time will tell of course. But definitely the seats I would personally go for. Cheers man

Ok thanks for your feedback. Much appreciated. I'm on the fence what I should choose when the time comes. The wife doesn't like leather so perhaps the choice have already been made... But if you feel like snapping a few shots of the seats in front and back and posting them, I wouldn't mind ;)

In that case, I am a dreadful person. Because after reading the caption that she was just stuck, I could not help a slight giggle. :redface: Glad to hear that the handles only close with light pressure. Great photos too. Cool, appropriate location for some Tesla shots. ​

I hope this thread is not considered too old. But since I am starved for pictures and some firsthand experience of the textile interior, I am taking a chance. Also - you did promise pictures, goalie :) Could you post some and perhaps give further input on what you think after having the car for...
