    Two teslas in the garage, both charge port does open

    That is what I concluded when I purchased my new S75D (metallic silver) this morning.

    Supercharge cable button opened another charge port

    On my 2015 S85D, I just tap the charge port door and it opens. If I press the charge cable at the little dot, while holding it next to the door on my car the door opens as does the door on my wife's S85D. Two for one.

    Elon's Mars goal a mistake?

    iMHO, we need to address first the problems on our own planet to ensure that it remains habital. Waisting resources on going to other planets is unfortunate. I do not buy the argument about spillover of the science involved is a justifiable by-product. In a word, it is just hubris.

    I use Quick Detail. Comes in a spray bottle. Spray on lightly, wipe off, then wipe again with a clean rag. Takes about 15 minutes for my silver S. Never used to remove heavy mud, though. Never washed my car with water.
