In order to Supercharge at the highest possible rate, Tesla recommends that we pre-condition the battery by setting the destination to the supercharging station. While I appreciate the 'guidance,' we should all know by now how to get to our local supercharger destination without the annoying...

I completely understand looks are subjective, but I had a discussion with customer at Mercedes the other day. I was describing how “Tesla” in general makes every other vehicle feel “slow” … to wish she replied that Teslas are “ugly”. I was a bit taken aback by the comment but then I realized...

Using the configurator model under any Tesla vehicle, the price detail page proudly shows "estimated 3-year gas savings" upwards of $3,900. We should all be in agreement that yes, you won't ever need to buy gasoline for driving your Tesla. But the obvious question is, you're paying at the...

Coming up on 1 year of ownership on my ‘23 MSLR with 3800 miles. Charged to 80% today at a local SC station, no issues. Drove an additional 20 miles and returned home with vehicle parked in my garage. After a short while my entire garage is reeking from a strange cologne-like odor (something...

Lately I have been becoming aware of certain states charging extra government "taxes and fees" for registering a Tesla or non-Tesla EV. While it is true that gasoline taxes cover a portion of local highway road repairs, EV owners do not share in collecting this fee at the pumps. Luckily in NY...

Understandably a bit off topic. I was driving through my neighborhood the other day and noticed a Nissan dealership undergoing some renovations. The dealership logo sign out front, which I never actually noticed before, bears an uncanny resemblance to.... would you believe.... the Tesla...

Over the last few days, I haven't been driving my '23 MS Long Range as I have other modes of transportation. Roads out here are a complete mess of salt and sand...having my MS recently detailed factored into this decision. Just checking in with the app I've been watching the range drop ~ 40...

While I consider the latest version of Park Assist a great improvement over the previous version, I just think it's worth mentioning that driving along poorly lit roads at night remains a bit puzzling. For example, driving in the fog during a recent early morning drive I noticed the usual speed...

I Today I tried to pair a set of Bluetooth headphones for the rear screen, which works perfectly. To gain sufficient access to the rear I needed to move the front driver’s seat fully forward and noticed a red plastic connector dangling under the seat. Upon closer examination it appears to be...

Lately I've noticed a significant improvement on the behavior of the auto high beam on the MS. In the past, the high beams would rarely activate even on the darkest roads. Now, it appears that they operate as designed and stay on until the cameras detect oncoming traffic or vehicles in front...

As a Model S LR owner (not Plaid) I was curious to learn how 'aggressive' Plaid owners drive their vehicles? Do you find yourself somehow trying to ace the 1.99 second mark every drive? My concern, or question to the group is, with all that hard acceleration, massive horsepower & torque numbers...

Yesterday my model S updated to the latest OTA release. From my brief experience so far, I think Tesla did a great job in implementing subtle changes that improve the overall driving experience. In particular, the dynamic zoom visualization on the center cluster, the camera clarity, open door...

More dashcam issues. Apparently the 128 gb USB drive supplied with my MS stopped working again today. Installed the drive on my PC and found it was formatted to 64 gb with no free space. No drive errors found. A reformat was attempted and the drive remained at 64gb (half capacity). Returning...

Was wondering if anyone in the community finds the auto-tilt side view mirrors more of a hindrance than a convenience when backing up? I've always had this feature enabled in other vehicles I've owned, and thought it was a cool idea. For me, when reversing out of a parking space or garage, I...

I’ve been watching Tesla news and pricing updates closely, and the quiet reintroduction of the M-S standard range today was one of Elon’s best kept secrets. Question: How many of you who recently took delivery of the LR variant would have waited until September/October for delivery of an...

USA Today is reporting that Tesla is recalling nearly 16,000 of its 2021-2023 Model S and Model X vehicles because the front-row seat belts may not be connected properly, which can cause the seat belts to detach, officials said. “A detached seat belt may not properly restrain an occupant during...

So many of you may have noticed that the passenger-side AC does not come on unless there is a passenger in the seat. Today I was retrieving some packages from the rear seats and leaned on the center section and noticed the rear screen became activated (it was off). I tested this several times...

Over the last week or so I noticed an "X" at the top right corner of the dashcam icon, indicating that recording isn't available. Re-inserting the usb drive in the glovebox seemingly clears the error, but the message soon returns again. Important to note that viewing live camera footage via...

Not sure if anyone experienced this. Getting in and out of the Model S in a tight garage, when you can only open the driver's door partially has its challenges. Since the vehicle sits low, exiting the car even with easy entry, can be difficult as you try to weave your legs from a stretched-out...

Not sure if anyone noticed this, but when the vehicle is shown on the driver's instrument panel above the steering wheel, the animation not only show doors open but ALSO the front wheels turn in sync with the steering wheel. Just noticed this yesterday. The vehicle status screen recently added...

So for many of us with the latest HW4, no USS and the latest software update 2023.6.11.2 we remain without functional Park Assist. I recall signing a "waiver" on my order that this feature would be absent until a future update becomes available. Yet from what I see, the latest release adds Park...

As many of you know, Tesla rolled out an energy app in late 2022 which highlights energy usage and tips for improvement in great detail. We now have this detailed information and insights into battery performance for various drive scenarios right at our fingertips. One of the features of this...

Greetings all, just need to poll the community regarding the acoustic qualities and what I've learned in the past few months of ownership. I have a '22 M3P with less than 2000 miles, and as many of you know the 'premium' audio system sounds amazing. However, this comes with a disadvantage, at...
