    Is the P85 too fast/powerful?

    My 60 is in the shop and I got to drive both a P85+ and S85 as loaners this weekend. There's a definite difference between each model. I felt like the S85 was a step up from my 60 but that the P85+ was two steps up from the S85. The P85+ drives nice and smoothly if you're not playing around...

    I'm about to get a Roadster 2.5 with about 30.000km's... what should I know?

    If at all possible, have Tesla do a thorough check first. It's worth the $$. One thing they told us was that it is super important to have regular service because leaves and debris can get blown up into the inner parts and can cause major problems if left unaddressed for too long.

    News of Tesla Door Handle Hack

    Hope Tesla will fix if for no other reason than to control the bad P.R. As an owner, I'm not at all worried about this. Ditto to those that have already said thieves looking to get into the car will break a window, not a password. On the location issue, if I have a stalker that really is...

    Some questions about purchasing and keeping MS

    It's not too big of a stretch for my imagination. I know many owners of small airplanes that keep their planes in good order for 25 years plus. Why not cars, especially this one?

    Why is Tesla moving towards the dealership model and folding to franchise law?

    There's a reason the big car manufacturers started the dealer model in the first place. When you're mass-marketing cars all over the country, managing centralized sales operations would be a huge endeavor. It makes some sense to spin that off, put it in the hands of franchisees, and let them...

    Does anyone have info on Roadster #586?

    Too funny...my husband is the one that bought 586. Tesla Marietta was great and thorough with their inspection. They were pretty backed up and couldn't get us in right away, so we worked out a deal to buy it subject to inspection. Gave them a $1000 deposit to take it off the market (sorry...

    Best Story about “What kind of car is that?”

    Drive-through drop off at my daughter's school. Pull up to the lady that opens the doors to let the kids out. Moment of brief confusion when she sees the flush handles then jaw drops when they slide out. She opens the door, then she sees the big screen and her eyes just bug out. Instead of...

    Grey vs. Black?

    I went with black because I like black cars and also because I'm pinching pennies when it comes to extras on what will already be a more expensive car than I thought I'd ever buy. I usually don't like gray cars and wouldn't have considered it until I saw one in person. It is really nice...

    Argelius: Questions before placing my order.... tell me what I should change!

    I have a somewhat steep driveway so I was worried about this. The sales guy I talked to said that the standard suspension was as high as the suspension on my husband's BMW 550, which has been no problem for us. That made me feel good about going with the standard suspension. Since you...

    What's you low budget S config?

    I wish I could have all the things... 60, black, tech package, gray leather, jump seats, parking sensors (I have a very bad home parking situation and have scratched the heck out of my current car). May get Supercharger later, though right now we seldom take long trips and there are no...

    Unlocking the Doors from inside

    Door handles - can someone open door for you from outside when you're in the car? When I take my kids to school and drop them off, the teachers usually come up and open the door for the kids. When I pull up in my Tesla, won't the teacher just find the door handle flush with the door? Is there...

    Elon, make this guy an offer he can't refuse. An inspirational automotive innovator.

    And a wonderfully inspiring story to boot. Wouldn't he be such a good fit with the Tesla way of doing things? Richie Parker, automotive engineer.... Richie Parker: Drive - YouTube
