I took delivery of my new Model S Plaid last week. I accidentally plugged it into my 40 amp charger that I had installed when I bought my 2014 Model S. It appeared to run at 40 amps without any issues. I had assumed that the car would limit the charge to 32 amps, but it ran at 40. Are...

Has there been an update in the hardware at the Lindale supercharger? I noted my highest charge rate, today. I’ve been charging there for the last couple of months and have previously seen unimpressive statistics.

Great any version is appreciated. This will make the Dallas to Santa Fe run a realtor me.

Disturbing- the guy seems so relaxed anobut grand theft auto. Does he realize that when he gets caught he will be spending time behind bars in an unpleasant, overcrowded prison. Also, if such great quality video is available then why isn’t this guy in jail? I’m the police don’t want to move...

I just noticed this on the Model S screen above the steering wheel. Around the edges of the display you can see an irregular line. Is this delamination, normal wear and tear or has it always been there?

note line around edge.

I didn’t realize that reversing the lever action would turn it off and will keep this in mind. Is tapping the brake not recommended as an alternative?

Good point- I may not have been pressing the lever all the way down. I’ll have to check this

I got the chance to drive on a trip from Dallas, Tx to Conway, AR ( North of Little Rock, AR) in my wife’s M3 LR (2018.36.2.ac4a215) last weekend. Some comments: Autopilot: My first opportunity to use the autopilot on a trip. Generally, it worked well and lowered my workload while driving...

I'm enjoying the cabin overheat protection during a hot Dallas summer. Is it likel that a similar feature will be created to keep the cabin from falling below 35F? The same issues would be addressed (protest kids, pets, electronics, etc.). In cold climes this issue must have some import....

Consider taking your car in for servicing- my model S similar noise and it needed a dive train replacement. It was a no charge event, BTW.

Cool feature- seems to cost about 20 miles per workday in Dallas. I have enjoyed the cooler car during this hot summer in Texas. It may offer some real results in the sense of preserving car interiors and electronics. Is there any big downside in running the AC (at a low setting) for a long...

Anything is possible but note- -sometimes, a company can go a long time w/o a profit, like amazon- he is not quoting a law of thermodynamics - a small hedge fund, $25M - he is making bets against the Tesla share price, hardly an unbiased observer

Does this cable arrangement only work with phones without cases?

Model 3 first impressions (Red, LR, sport wheels, premium upgrade, enhanced AP) Service center process - totally painless: no delays, no issues. Phone as a key- easy setup: so far, flawless. Only got to drive it a few miles but here’s what I noticed: Snappy accelerator response (no...

My son is a student at Hendrix college in Conway (40 miles NNE of LR). Driving my S 60 was quite the challenge from Dallas before the LR supercharger. Tesla’s informal plan sets out several more in AR, but it’s amazing that one company can do all of this stuff so well, even though it’s far...

Had to delay the pickup till tomorrow... will provide a report as soon as I have something interesting to say... From your description it sounds like Nirvana- of course I’m the kind of guy who would like to see partial differential equations scrolling across the screen.

Picking up my m3 on 3/6– do you have an updated version of your guide?

I bought a model S 60 four years ago using the same logic, I’ve enjoyed the car and it has served me well. However an expected issue arose: I discovered that I like driving a MS much more than I expected. I actually want to go Ont trips that I would have never considered in the past. This...

Picking up the M3 at 5:00 PM on March 6th. I ran into a colleague that I haven’t seen for a while and he mentioned he rode in a M3, recently. He said it almost broke his neck. It took me a moment to realize that he meant unexpected acceleration. He had other positive things to say- all...

Got another call.... Tesla provided a more exact date: the 28th or the first. Yes, cash buyer- I had to go out of town for a funeral and there is a bank holiday on Monday so I can’t get the transfer completed until Tuesday, at the earliest.....

Got the call from tesla- should have the car in a week

I got my VIN, today —6241.

Question: is determining when the VIN is assigned just a matter of seeing the RN change on the MyTesla page?

Thanks for the feedback- I’ll be watching for the VIN.

I’m also in TX, Dallas, and configured on 1/17. I have not received a VIN, yet. I answered all the questions concerning licensing, insurance, etc. and it’s all marked as complete. Should I call or something? Is it possible I’ve missed some communication?

My model S is getting close to 4 years old . I love the car and plan on keeping it, but I find myself wondering about long-term reliability. Are there any longer term/high mileage owners out there that with any experiences that they would like share? I have a 2014 MS 60 with 38K miles, BTW.

I’m in awe...

That list of prices is scary, but every car maker touts a similar list when hawking its extended warranty. The thing that we need to know: do people really have to pay such prices and is it likely? Tesla is supposed to be a different kind of car company where service is not the profi center of...

I feel that the world is spinning a little faster, Injustice, on the wane... world peace within reach.... Everything is better today—I got my invitation to configure. I’m a current MS owner, I live in TX and submitted my reservation, on-line, on the day of the reveal. Am I the only person in...

My MS 60 doesn’t have it....

The onboard MS charger has a max capacity of 40 amps. This can be satisfied with a 50 amp receptical (80% of 50). As far as I can tell, the M3 has a max of 32 amps. I’m getting a M3 and was assuming I could install a 40 amp receptical of some kind to meet the 32 amp max (80% of 40). I have...

Just for fun.... could the glass roof explain the fact that the LR and the Standard models?

As an acceleration enthusiast, it’s hard for me to understand. However, just like some people don’t like the sport steering mode some may not like the “normal” acceleration mode.....

All they had to do was dry it out - no charge. The tech said he had seen the same thing when he worked for Mazda: not just a Tesla thing.

Current model S owner who reserved 3-31-16... still waiting. I get the feeling that that no regular person has received the invitation to configure... any evidence to the contrary?

I'm embarrassed- and had a cup carrier on the front passenger floorboard. A large Diet Coke fell out and the top popped off. The quart of liquid poured under the seat. Nothing happened and I mopped up all the liquid that I could find. Later that night a connection got wet enough to trigger...

Current model S owner- placed reservation on-line the day of the 2016 reveal. My first production estimate still says October- December.

i put my deposit on a model 3 the day of the reveal in 2016 (online). On the myresla page it mentions I will be receiving an invitation to configure based on various factors. Has anybody received this yet?

Are Teslas protected against voltage surges like lightning?

I've noticed that many people describing their thought processes surrounding why they are choosing the standard or long range battery mention how many times per week they feel it's necessary to charge their Teslas. I've had some non-Tesla owners say to me things like, "you have to charge every...

There is fake leather and there is something that us not leather but is good, the question is: is it an equal or better substitute?

Any updates on what the premium seat material is ?

When I go to the page where I can see my delivery date it offers the option of the regular or long range versions, at that point I'm supposed to click on one. Is this an irrevocable choice? I'd like to go through all the options for each before I masked a choice (I have different ownership...

The long range battery version is heavier than the standard range version. It looks like there is a difference in the battery packs. Does this mean that there will be no software battery upgrade option after purchase?

Last night I was leaving the gym. I got into my model S, put my foot on the brake and moved the gear selector: nothing happened. Everything looked normal: lights on, A/C on, stereo on, etc. but the car didn't move. I tried rebooting the displays, tried turning on the car via the phone app...

Yes, I used it a couple of weeks ago. You will need an extension cord- some 50amp models are available on Amazon.

Thanks for making the 50A outlet available. I used it on my trip to Conway last weekend. I got to use my 50A extension cord- well worth having.

Thanks again for allowing me to use your home charger while I was in Conway. It really made a difference. BTW, I was able to fit the contents of my son's dorm room into my Model S. He is enjoying online gaming full time and I continue to put in long hours at the office.... there must be...

Making a trip to Conway from Dsllas, tomorrow. I was hoping for the LR supercharger to make for a smooth trip, but that looks unlikely. My motel offers use of a 110v line overnight, but that will make the return on Monday an exercise in frustration to get back to Texarkana. Anybody have any...
