How did I miss that?!? Ha.

I ran over a nail and had a slow leak with one of my tires this week. In getting it repaired at Discount Tire, they brought the tire into the waiting room to show me that Tesla has added inch thick foam to the inside of the tires (over the tread portion) to assist with noise suppression. They...

I think that the 2013 award was well-deserved, and am really glad that Tesla has constantly worked to incremetally improve the Model S over the years rather than just resting on its laurels. In looking at that list of improvements, it is really clear that Tesla is following the forums and is...

Just upgraded to a 90D (from a 2013 S85) and thought I would share my quick initial impressions: The 90D's acceleration and ability to accelerate around corners is very impressive. While a major step up (and forward), part of me misses the madness of the S85's traction control when losing the...

My Dec. '13 S has a small alcove at the front of the glovebox for the J1772. Do new builds no longer have that?

I had that problem (LED strips detaching) until I tried 3M Scotch Mount Molding Tape. Haven't had a problem since even with the insane Vegas heat!

There appears to be a "groove" in the base of the seat... I was assuming that the seat would pivot forward and continue to travel forward beyond the carpet cut-out. The "sculptural" contours of the first row setbacks and second row seats joining together would be consistent with Elon's prior...

It definitely would appear that the second row seats slide forward and "submarine" themselves under the front seats... The back of the front seats appear to be an exact match for the contours of the second-row seats in that configuration. That would make it easy to get in and out of the rear...

We just went in June with the Tesla (trip #2 with the Tesla). Seriously missing those shrimp buckets from Wrecked and Banditos! Love that drive down...

The LED modules (at least the old ones) are quite large, and I don't believe that there would be any way to switch them out without removing the headliner.

With a trailer behind it. Seriously? That is obnoxious. I wonder if the coal-rolling idiots are going to start doing this for sport...

While I doubt that I will follow through, the P85D is very enticing. Posted on TM also... How much should I expect someone to pay for a 2013 S85 with appx. 13k on the odometer these days? Specs: 85 (non P) 19" wheels Metallic Silver Tech package Pano roof Grey leather interior Matte...

Ionizergate? ;-)

My girlfriend and I just got back from a Rocky Point road trip with the Tesla. We stayed overnight in Phoenix on the way down, topped off in Gila Bend and the Sonoran Sky was kind enough to let us use a wall outlet to trickle charge while we were there (I had made arrangements to charge at an...

I tied to edit the title to add -- Solved? Hopefully it worked. I took Jerry33's idea and added a healthy touch of skepticism and distrust. Ha!

Follow-up: I had a long talk with the Hotel Director yesterday, who advised me that what happened was the product of misinformed security personnel and confusion that arose as a result of them not having any formal EV policies. Based upon my letter, he investigated all of the companies' 22...

Now that San Juan Capastrano has finally been solved, Let's hope this one will get the attention that it needs...

i actually used that exact analogy with the casino manager and got nowhere. I was told that they also feared that the hotel could be liable for such a laptop if it was damaged while plugged in and got nowhere. While I did admittedly get a bit defensive with the "fire hazard" comments, I did my...

I could really use this one in June and have been following this thread in the hope that it will be done in time... This gave me hope (http://www.gilabendaz.org/Gila%20Bend%20Assets/april%202014%20newsletter.pdf) but with the lack of information in these forums I am not holding my breath.

Cottonwood - I did a letter to management and focused on the financial benefits of them embracing and attracting EV owners in the hope that they will come around, and encouraged them to contact Tesla and take advantage of the free charging equipment. Hopefully we can get them to come around...

My girlfriend and I took our first real road trip this weekend (from Vegas to Phoenix), and were very surprised by just how unfriendly of a response that we received from our selected hotel -- The Talking Stick Resort. Before leaving, I called to inquire as to whether they would allow 120v...

I drove through Wickenburg en route to Phoenix yesterday. Zero progress as far as I found see at the previously-identified location. Perhaps there has been a change in plans in regard to the location?

Another thread indicated that such claims were not recognized in New Jersey. I am trying to find out what other states may not recognize them...

I have been following all of the diminished value threads here and on TMC, and was thinking that it would be helpful to compile a list of states that do recognize a diminished value claim vs. those that do not. I consulted with the PI side of my firm and can verify that such a claim in viable...

I stopped by on Thursday to check it out (first supercharger I have ever seen in real life) but didn't need to charge...

FYI - Las Vegas is live...

Both systems are identical in function (other than the added features). Until Tesla adds native support for the apps, you would need to stream them through the iPhone. Once Tesla releases a dev kit, the sky is the limit. For right now, however, you would need to Yes.

1. Yes. 2. You would need to access the apps through your phone. Native support is limited to Slacker and Tunein. 3. The system supports numerous voice commands. You can dial via voice, but the steering wheel interface is fabulous. You can ask it to play songs, but, to my knowledge, only...

@agileone -- What kind of tent is that?

Scott Paulson at Alliant was fabulous to work with. Highly recommended by me and, by far, the best financing experience that I have ever had.

Follow-up from our friend at the gm-volt forums that broke this news: So the town manager presented the proposal from Tesla for "up to 8 parking spots" in the main lot for town hall which contains approximately 20 total parking spots. However, they were only planning on utilizing 4 to begin...

I left my car unlocked outside of my office, and someone took my daughter's iPhone. I called the police and they gave me the cold shoulder just like they gave you and could not care less that I knew where the person was because of Find my iPhone. After unsuccessfully trying to convince them to...

When you get the project rolling, please provide us details. i.e.: Where are you putting the amp? I assume that you will be feeding of of the rear speaker leads? Mounting the unit in the trunk? Looking forward to seeing what you do. What does it feel like being either an inspiration or...

Are you planning to run the rear door leads through an amplifier to power them? What is your plan on this one? Looking forward to seeing what you do, and hearing about the results...

Do we need a call to action? "What I want from each and every one of you is a hard-target search of every gas station, residence, warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse and doghouse in that area." ;-)

I agree 100%, but am also one of those people that tried to switch to Apple's "natural scrolling" (where the traditional scrolling directions are reversed and you push up rather than down to make the screen go up) and could not seem to get used to it after months of trying. I wonder if those...

I don't remember a Carl's Jr. there, but agree that that would be a great location. Right after that crazy traffic circle... ;-)

Any news on a supercharger in the Wickenburg area? The Carl's Jr. in Surprise would seem like the most likely location. that would be a nice addition for Vegas to Phoenix travel and I am surprised that we haven't heard about any permitting yet.

Ironically, their review pushed me over the edge and convinced me to order.... 2013 Tesla Model S – The Oppositelock Review (87/100)

Darmok - Look here: Darmok - I don't have my Tesla yet, but was under the impression that Nevada does have AFV stickers and that they enable you to park for free at any county / city lot or meter. I could be wrong, but would suggest that you look here...

One or two blocks makes a big difference in that area.... I can tell you that I wouldn't reccomend that any of you walk around alone at night there. It may be a much nicer area in a few years, but right now it is not.

I am finding it very hard to believe that there would be an SC at that location. It is not a convenient location for highway access, and is in an area that is extremely sketchy at night. This one just doesn't make sense to me...

The issue would be the same as the issue with the Seattle incident. Hitting the ball would cause the stem of the trailer hitch to shift either upwards or downwards in would result in the same "pole vault" effect...

Tesla needs to gather all of the data and will certainly issue a statement. While I understand the concerns being voiced by anyone, the reality is that the media frenzy (and stock market panic) is subsiding and there is no need to issue a statement until they have analyzed all of the...
