    How do you deal with valet?

    What's the deal with valet-only places? Why can't they just let people park themselves?

    How many years before there is a true Model S compeditor?

    1 year. 2015: Tesla Model X and Model E Also there's no option for 2023 or 2024. What if a competitive non-Tesla EV is released in either of those years???

    Unfortunate incident with my P85+ last night

    Stop leaving your Apple products (or any valuables for that matter) sitting in your car where people can see them.

    misinformation spreading

    I was browsing through the Tesla section of Reddit and I came across this post: Tesla FOB is now second best? :( : teslamotors The concept FOB belongs to BMW's upcoming i8. I'm not really sure these words are coming from a true Tesla fan. It sounds to me he's afraid Tesla's EV's will stall the...

    It's on: Oil versus Electric

    I'm glad I could spark an interesting discussion concerning the auto manufacturers' loans. Whether Tesla is the only one or not, Elon Musk and Tesla Motors are a miracle in the oil-dependent auto industry. A car worth purchasing for those who have the money.

    misinformation spreading

    Nowhere near as problematic as the exaggerations of the Tesla fires; plus I don't really trust Spanish journalism (a Hispanic journalist asked the director of Gravity about the conditions of filming in space...) So what if the journalist put in the wrong price for the upcoming X? The average...

    It's on: Oil versus Electric

    Is Tesla really the only American car company to fully pay back their government loan? Not Ford, GM or Chrysler? Was Tesla not affected by the Auto Industry Crisis of 2008-2010?

    Actor Paul Walker Dead - Fiery Porsche Crash

    You will meet many people like this on the internet. They're called trolls and often have no remorse for any kind of tragedy. They like to cause unnecessary havoc with people in comment sections and forums, so it's best if you just ignore them. It looks like someone whose lacking in photoshop...

    What do you do for work? Just passing time waiting for updates from Tesla :)

    I fail to see how my knowledge of gaming computer hardware has any relevance to my driving skills.

    Thanks. I may consider getting the Model E if money is still tight by then.

    Is the High Performance 85 kwh worth it?

    Even though the P85 only has 15% more HP than the S85, going from a 0-60mph time of 5.4 down to 4.2 requires a ~28.54% higher acceleration. So you'll be feeling a ~25% higher force on your body with the P85 over the S85. See if that's worth $10,000 for you. I've never ridden in a S before, but...

    What do you do for work? Just passing time waiting for updates from Tesla :)

    I'm a broke college student majoring in Electrical Engineering. I'm also starting up a computer hardware blog to help others with computer stuff (and planning on writing and hopefully selling computer hardware ebooks). And yes, I'm pretty knowledgeable with gaming computer hardware. I'm hoping...

    Black ice on the road and my Model S

    I see. So I guess that means the Model S can be pumped gasoline at home in several hours! Or we can use Tesla's SuperPumper Network, where we can fill up the Model S in only 30 minutes! Or we can use the touchscreen to check its oil life! Or the temperature of the engine! And the amount of...

    How many speeding tickets since getting your Model S?

    Maybe you should clarify what units you're referring "0-60 in 4.3". Because if it's miles-per-hour and seconds, then I need your sources for that, because my research shows it only goes 0-60 mph in 5-6 seconds, not 4.3. Plus they don't even list the 0-60 time on gmfleet, only the 130 mpg speed...

    How many speeding tickets since getting your Model S?

    So "apparently" the Caprice is a 3 ton supercar with the same acceleration as the Model S P85? It looks like you were googling the Tesla Model X instead.

    Open letter to the Haters

    What was this letter made in response to exactly? I don't really know anyone hating on Tesla besides that guy who gave the Model S a false review.

    Another Model S comes to AUSTIN TEXAS!!!

    Your S is silver, not silver/grey. Grey is a darker color.

    Do you do the Tesla Nod???

    I think Model S just saved my clueless neighbor and his dog

    Have you talked to him about his reckless behavior? How is he and his dog still alive with all the reckless drivers going through the street?

    "Tailgating in the Tesla"

    Is it bad if whenever I see or hear the word tailgating I always think of the traffic/tail-bumping kind of tailgating?

    What electronics do you own or want to get (besides a Tesla)?

    Computers? Smartphones? Tablets? TVs? etc.? I won't be able to afford a Tesla for the next several years. I own a Samsung Series 7 laptop, Fujitsu Lifebook T902 convertible laptop/tablet, and a Nokia Lumia 920 Windows phone. I want to get a Asus Zenbook Infinity, Samsung ATIV Book 8 (the...

    Why doesn't the younger generation "love" cars like the older?

    I'm glad it's heading in this direction. Less young drivers = less traffic = less accidents = less emissions = less dependence on oil

    Is it just me or does everyone want to race a tesla..

    Oh the Irony There's 3 accident threads, including the infamous Tesla Fire, right above this thread before I post this, and people here are talking about racing -_-. Hopefully plenty of Tesla owners have your mindset.

    X Colors

    I've been having trouble considering the X due to its appearance, then I realized that it's been shown in only limited colors, mostly just white and brown. So here's some available colors:

    Should I get the X?

    My default option would have been the S, considering that I'm a young, single guy, but recently I've looked into the X and have been slowly leaning towards it. I've loved large vehicles (particular vans) when I was little. My family's old Chevy van (where the back row of seats can turn into a...

    How Did You Hear About the Model S?

    - General Car Review Sites? - Hybrid and EV reviews? - Sports/performance car review sites? - Word of mouth? - Owned the Tesla Roadster? - Live near Silicon Valley or a Tesla Store or Service Center? - Etc.? And assuming the Model S is now your favorite car, what was your favorite BEFORE you...
