    Video conversion board (for rearview camera) extension to Dashcam / DVR

    I'd love to have one of these for each repeater camera feeding 2 small (5-7 inch) monitors for always-on blind-spot video displays.

    Version 9 on AP1

    This is insulting. People that resist change don't drive Tesla. You are belittling complaints of legitimate loss of previous functions as if the only basis is in the frail human psyche. Perhaps you should pause and consider that there may be much more substance to these complaints than your own...

    San Diego: Where are the Superchargers?

    120V would have been fine for this trip. the "44-48 hrs needed" comment is silly. Since you said that you stayed for days, I will assume you had the Tesla parked at the rental house for at least 2 nights. If you only managed 10 hours per night, that is still 60 miles of range. Assuming you...

    Is P85D horsepower boost imminent?

    After this was posted, they updated the page with the same numbers as every other page, with 700 total, but they still us the same terms ("motor-power")

    Is P85D horsepower boost imminent?

    As posted on Telsamotors forum, the German language version of the Swiss ordering page showed higher hp numbers for both motors and a matching higher total horsepower number for the P85D. Here's a screen grab before it was changed. A 10% horsepower boost, delivered over-the-air, would be sweet!

    Fascinating and intriguing power/performance figures on the TM website

    Considering the recent higher horsepower numbers for the P85D on the Swiss ordering page, I think it is a given that more horsepower will be released soon, possibly for all models.

    Anyone interested in a ONCE A YEAR Drag Meet at PBRW in January

    I'll be there! Since it is my Mother's birthday, I will be late, but I am heading up straight after brunch! Where can I find a schedule breakdown for the day - All I can find is that the event is 9:00-5:00?

    Supercharger - Turkey Lake, FL

    Turkey Lake "appears" open. There are no indications that it is non-functional (no signs). However, my wife was in an ICE car so she couldn't test it. If it isn't powered up yet, I would expect some signs or to see the cables taped off.

    Supercharger - Turkey Lake, FL

    Lola, the new dot is due West (and even a tick to the south) of the PSL location. In PSL the Turnpike is East of I-95 so the location of the new dot actually looks like it is in Okeechobee, not on the Turnpike. They might have intended it to be the Fort Drum plaza but then it should be...

    Stolen Model S crashes after police pursuit. 7/4/14

    Actually there are 2 light poles down. I agree that pursuit should be avoided when possible. However, the pursuing police are reported to have crashed 5-7 miles earlier. So the thief continued to drive at a very high speed long after the pursuit was over. We don't have all the facts yet...

    Stolen Model S crashes after police pursuit. 7/4/14

    Yes,yes,yes. The remote disabling would not have to be instant or sudden. It could easily be implemented with a 30-second (or whatever time you deem fit) warning before it slowly starts to decrease the allowable top speed and acceleration.

    Braking in rain

    If Tesla is aware of an issue specific to the Model S that unexpectedly results in loss of braking/increased stopping distance, they would have to issue an immediate warning to owners and/or a recall.

    Our 7-Year-Old Hopes His “Tesla Flat Stanley” Can Visit Every Supercharger

    I thought you would approve. I know the high school aged robotics competitors love seeing my Tesla. There is typically a crowd around the car in the parking lot when we try to leave. Many kids want photos with the car (or in the car, in the frunk, etc) Since your son likes Tesla I guessed he...

    Service Center no longer giving loaner cars outside of 50-mile radius?

    FYI - Last week I received 2 loaner exchanges in 2 days at 2 different locations, both over 50 miles from service center. I am in in South Florida. Can you just meet them somewhere within the 50 mile radius?

    The longest service/repair ever...need advice

    I disagree. I posted many times before ever mentioning some of the problems my car has had and I still have not posted about all of the problems. People (including me) love their Tesla's. I think this leads many to overlook smaller issues. An example can be found here...

    The longest service/repair ever...need advice

    I disagree. The price was agreed upon at the time of purchase. That is where the $21,000 savings occurred. It was not compensation for the 2 months of service. Compensation would have to occur after the fact since the amount of time in service was far beyond what would have been expected at...

    The longest service/repair ever...need advice

    Mine was new, but still delivered with issues. And then delivered after service with issues, some worse than when the service started. It was as if nobody even looked at the repair work.

    The longest service/repair ever...need advice

    I think the OP is justified in his frustration. It is nice of Tesla to have P85 loaners, but if his facts are correct, the time in service is unnacceptable. The loaners merely help smooth things over when the service is lacking. I took delivery of a brand new P85 in March and it has been for...

    New Options Essentially Raised my Config by $3,800 :(

    I had the original pricing since I reserved last year. I took delivery in March 2013. When I include the sales tax the final amount to buy my car today is almost $20,000 more than what I paid in March. I am wondering, are they raising prices because they can, or because they have to.

    Valentine One radar detector installation

    I have both a really old Uniden and a brand new Escort Radar detector. Both work perfectly in the MS, regardless of where I mount them. If radar can get through the windshield for these detectors to work, why can't the Valentine detect the radar as well? I certainly understand the coating...
