Take it to a reputation paint shop and they will do it for you. I have mine done at EVS motors when I got the MX and I think it takes about 3 weeks for them to removed all the trims, sand it down to make the surface smoother, painted them, and installed them all back. It gives the car a...

You are right, no concavity on those back wheels!!!! The X offsets for front and back are pretty good.

Thanks Vger, at least now I know :)

I don't think I need it. I just want to know my options. I do go off-road sometime to drive my bike, take it to the race track and feel the POWER of AWD.

I know some of us want to upgrade our model S to AWD, and Tesla is doing a trade-in program but I'm sure we are not going to get a lot, especially those who put a lot of mileage on their car. My question is can Tesla retrofit the older car so that it can be upgrade to AWD? by doing this, we...

Have you consider getting a level 2 charger installed at your work place? If you are willing to pay for the charger and installation, I think most employer would let you install the charger for your car. :)

You will definitely feel the different with the sedans like the LS or maybe GS models. the trunk on the sedans got seal really good which block out most of the road noise from the rear wheels.

My Model S is currently in the shop for some body work. as soon as they finished with that, they will Dynamat my Model S to sound proof it. I have my Model S for 8-9 months now. It is a joy to drive and the car is far more superior than my Lexus in everyway, but the only thing I missed about...

It should not. The dynamat material is so light and thin, it won't affect the car energy, acceleration, or handling.

i got a complete package of dynamat for the wheel wells, trunk, and undercarriage.

Yes I do have the parcel shelf in my car. The noise is mostly road noise from the rear wheel. The model S is really quiet when I drive on asphalt but it is very noisy when I drive on concrete road. the noise increased as you drive faster. In my Lexus, you can't hardly hear any noise even at...

I have my model S for 8-9 months now and I also have owned Lexus GX, GS, ES in the past. I can tell you that the Lexus is quieter than my Model S. I think the reason is that the Lexus cabin is completely sealed from the trunk; therefore the road noise from the rear wheels won't get inside the...

Thanks Texex91, for $1000 is a good price to ease my destination charging anxiety. I thought about getting the twin charger but with the CHAdeMO adapter, I will be able to access more network of DC Fast Chargers, and it costs less than the twin charger/HPWC option. I will buy it as soon as it...

I talked to the sale rep from eVgo last week and they said that NRG is working on a plan for tesla owners to use DC Fast Charge, at a reasonable rate. He said this plan will be available before the CHAdeMO adapter available for us to buy. I'm hoping that we only have to pay a one time fee for...

If you go to Dallas and Houston area often. Consider sign up with eVgo freedom charging stations from NRG. they have Level 2 charging for only $60 for a year.. that's only $5 a month (maintaining fees). There are at least 20 eVgo charging stations in Dallas area and about the same amount of...

Look like the people at Tesla is listening to us. :) The adapter will be available soon. I will buy the CHAdeMO adapter, as soon as it is available.

Look like it was a typo. Tesla updated their website and changed it to 150 miles of range per hour. I will definitely buy this CHAdeMO adapter because there are a lot of CHAdeMO charging stations in Texas. "CHAdeMO stations charge at the rate of approximately 150 miles of range per hour of...

You are right, I did not notice how inconvenience it is to charge the car on the road, when all you could use is 30A or less. CHAdeMO infrastructure is already there, I could have fill up my battery in an hour or two, if I have the CHAdeMO adapter. If Elon decided to make the CHAdeMO adapter...

I'm sure it is very complicate to make this CHAdeMo adapter but when I said Simple, I meant for Elon Musk and his team at Tesla and SpaceX. They have done all the things that people consider impossible... even to NASA (reusable rockets) and Boeing (battery management). I will question everyone...

I think Tesla battery is great for driving in the city, where you can charge your car in your garage. I think SuperCharge stations are excellence to get you to where you need to be but I see a REAL problem, after I get to my destination. How am I going to charge my Model S? I'm not at my...

I have the exact same problems after I have the car for 2 months. I took it to the service center and they got it fixed in 2 days. got the P85 red loaner for those 2 days. the whole experience is awesome. I asked them about the problems and they said that it is rare but they have seen 2-3...

Thanks FlasherZ, I was wondering about that. I have an 8KW portable generator and it is only for emergency. I haven't use it in more than 5-6 years but It is good to know if I can count on it to charge my Model S. Since it is a Tri-Fuels generator, I will be able to keep it on with my natural...

Thanks Nigel, I have a tri-fuels Generator that can run on Gasoline/Natural Gas/LP Gas that I could use incase of emergency due to blackout by Hurricane :) I just want to know my option.

Can I charge my Model S on a generator? I know that Tesla does not recommend us to charge the car using a generator but just incase if there is a blackout and I can't find any charging station. Can I charge my Model S with my Gas/Natural Gas generator?

I'm interest in the spoiler. Please PM me.

gnelson, I have fun talking to all the other Tesla owners at Coffee and Cars, I did not have time to take any picture at all. I have just taken a few photo of my car in the drive way to upload on here.

Thanks, Ted from EVS/Vive did the wrap and installed the Vossens wheels. It helps break up the nose cone black on my white car. It was great to see everyone at C&C today.

Thanks Stephen, I just got my Model S for about 2 months now. This Saturday will be the first time I come to a Coffee and Cars, although one of my coworker has been trying to get me to go there for years... He is a regular there and he drives a RED Nissan GTR.. I'm sure you've seen him around...

Stephen, I'm interest in coming out to Houston Coffee and Cars next Saturday, although I may not make it there until after 8am. Can you reserve a spot for me? Thanks

That could be my car. I have been at Vive a lot lately, getting just about everything done there. They did an excellence job there at Vive.

Luder94, Do you really need the HPWC installed in your garage? You may be able to get away with all that trouble by install the NEMA 14-50 outlet. I have the electrician came and installed my outlets in the garage for $300 each, $600 total for both outlets. with the 40A-50A outlet, your...

I saw the exact same brown color at the galleria last week. It looks nice :) I think I will get my Tesla in about 4 weeks... I can't wait :)

Thanks for the info Ebbrey, Very nice black on black configuration, plus all glass Pan-roof on your Tesla Model S. I have seen one near my house with similar configuration and it looks exceptionally sharp. Good luck and I hope that you will receive your Model S soon. I want a black one too...

those 21" black rims look so good. I should have ordered the 21" instead of 19".

It is possible that the 1000 cars between our VIN will be ship over sea, since Tesla wants to get those cars shipped and cleared the book early in Q3. That way they can have time to fix any problems, if there are delay or hiccup in shipping those cars to Norway & other places. BTW, I have...

That seems a little bit high. I just got 2 NEMA 14-50, 50A outlets installed on my garage last week for $600 total, that's $300 each (in Houston, TX). My electrician used the existing panel and run the wires up to the attic and down.

that is a tempting option but i think i will wait until Jun-29 to get a test drive from Tesla in Houston. ;) - - - Updated - - - i don't think so... from what i know, Tesla will make the P85+ and P85 first.... to beat their goal for second quarter, again. the regular 60KWh and 85KWh...

Wow, I got my VIN number on 06/12/13 and it was 145xx a week later and the VIN jump to 155xx. Has Tesla been selling that many car the last week or so? - - - Updated - - - That is 1000 cars ordered in one week. I should buy more Tesla stock. :)

LiteWait.... Thanks, I didn't know we got our own threads for Houston :) PhilBa, I asked them about the test drive and see if they can schedule it earlier than that, since I have made the reservation with them, but they said since Texas and North Carolina turned down Tesla. It harder to buy...

Thanks Bollar, the last 5 days has been a pain. I have been looking at the web site almost everyday to see if there is any change. Let hope that they have something similar in inventory or the next 6-8 weeks will not come fast enough for me :(
