    21" BBS UP-01 Unplugged Performance Wheels for Model S

    If these are available I'll take them. I just have a couple of small questions, nothing that would change my mind. DM-ing you my info and my question.

    Black headliner - any regrets ?

    Can't wait to convert my tan headliner to black! The problem with the standard headliner is that it gets dirty FAST. People unintentionally getting in and out of the car will get the b-pillar area marked up. All of my cars have had black headliner, every one of them. I couldn't get it on my...

    Firmware 6.2

    Here's my take after driving home with it yesterday. TACC - Amazing improvement, it no longer jerks in phases when the Tesla is presented with a car in front of it. The 30 second hold was great too. I take the 405 freeway from LA or OC, and in three spots where I have to accelerate again to...

    Firmware 6.2

    I use the TACC for my commute. I do 80 miles each way between work and home and it's a life saver. My wife says I'm happier when I get home and my staff has said that I used to turn purple when I got mad, now I just turn red. My car is updating now, I'll try this on my way home and report. I...

    Would like next gen seats in S85

    The seats are a big issue for me in my S85. I'm not liking them at all. There is little to no support in certain areas. As far as I'm concerned it's one of the negative points I talk about when people ask me about the car. With that being said I'm going to hold my breath, but not for too long...

    Question for Porsche owners - is the P85D really the same drive or better?

    I've owned and own a few Porsche 911's from many generations. I also own a Model S 85. I love my Tesla, but there are things I don't love about it. It's not a finished car in my opinion. You need to have a reason to buy one. Here is what I mean... Go Green - If your lifestyle is green in nature...

    Clear bra? Nay, Clear Jockstrap!

    Some of you may know that I've been prepping my Model S to be a super commuter. My agenda was simple, get a car that would save me money in the long run while being stylish. Naturally the Model S was the best of both worlds with no competitor in site. To get the most out of the rear tires I...

    Tesla Model S - Pros vs Cons

    I have a few more things I remembered as I was just washing my car... Pro People (I've had people PM me with support, invite me over to their homes, and just all around been nice. It's a sort of a car club for people who are not conceded) Air Suspension (There are driveways that I have to deal...

    Tesla Model S - Pros vs Cons

    Just as ecarfan stated, it wasn't so much a problem with the actual charging unit itself. I have a detached garage that required quite a bit of electrical work. Not the fault of Tesla, but more so the fault of mine, I should have done a lot more research on the true cost. However here's a note...

    Tesla Model S - Pros vs Cons

    Pros comfort (I have fun cars but my last daily driver was a civic) Carpool access (saves me 2 hours a day with LA traffic) overall cost to operate (I drive 160miles a day, just imagine what I save in fuel costs alone) Masculine (sorry but I'm not liking the "I'm saving mother earth so I will...

    Negative Camber in the Rear and Expensive Tires

    I've installed the OpenEV links that were designed by lolachampcar. However I'm having a hell of a time finding a good alignment shop. No one has the vehicle listed in their machines, and when they try to pair it up with something similar the car drives straight but the steering wheel is not...

    Alignment shop in OC, CA?

    I installed the longer toe arms and I'm looking for a alignment shop in OC. Whoever I call says they won't do it for a tesla. Any insight on places that will? Place can also be located in LA.

    Electrician/Installer needed ASAP!!!!

    It's not a do-it-yourself case. I have a detached garage and a fuse panel that needs to be consolidated. Not to mention that I drive 160miles a day and I pick up the car from Fremont this Sunday. I know I'll have enough of a charge to get home, but don't know how I'll deal with going to the...

    Electrician/Installer needed ASAP!!!!

    I'm not going to name names but I had an arrangement with an installer for and he failed to show up for either one, is not answering his calls and has not given me any notice of anything. He just vanished. I'm over it... But I do need an electrician ASAP! I get the car THIS Sunday and I have...

    Speed Assist and Lane Departure Warning

    No my DS is on the ball. He's been able to answer every single question on the spot with no hesitations or any of the other wishy washy answers some other people have seemed to get. I guess I've just been lucky. Also to be honest, I asked if it was a part of a package like parking or tech, and...

    Speed Assist and Lane Departure Warning

    I'm set for a factory delivery this Sunday, I've sent an email to my delivery specialist. I'll let you guys know what I find out. I would LOVE these features. I paid for the parking sensors and I have the tech package. So if it's a part of any of those two options lists in theory I should get it...

    MS ownership in 6-7 years time

    I find this statement stupid. Each case is unique. I think a better way to word this would have been: "Purchasing is not for me. However if you plan on putting a heck of a lot of miles on it the total cost of ownership in the long run will amortize. Granted it will amortize at the rate of...

    HPWC price reduction??

    I know I paid $750 and I know it was brand new. Now, I never took account for a refurbished model, but I would assume they would have to tell me. I'll check the receipt. I'm almost 100% sure he said something to the nature of "You should be glad you waited, the prices have dropped on these, the...

    HPWC price reduction??

    That was me that got it for a reduced price. Try calling van nuys California service center. That's where I got it from. Said it was their last one in stock but that he would get more. Don't think it was a screw up... I hope, as 750 is a great price for a hpwc

    Yet another reason why the Dual Chargers option is worth having...

    The HPWC. They said the prices of specific accessories have gone down.

    Yet another reason why the Dual Chargers option is worth having...

    New reason: There has been a price drop to $750, and there is a local rebate for $750... The site still says 1200, but the service center charged me $750

    HPWC Installation Cost

    Also may want to note a price drop on the HPWC. I just purchased one from the Van Nuys service center for $750 yesterday. The tesla site still shows $1,200.00. They said there will be a price drop on other accessories too. Just an FYI.

    [lolachampcar] Performance Upgrade Efforts

    I just placed an order for the Lolachamp rear upper suspension links. I get my car late this month, I'm going to slap them on and get an alignment right when I get it. I like the 21" wheels much better than the 19's, if this is what it takes to get more miles out of my car then that's what I...

    Booked a Model S, should I postpone delivery in the hope of getting more features?

    If you can outfit a car the way you want it now and you'll be happy do it. If you feel a specific feature that you rely on daily is missing wait. I don't know what that feature would be but it would justify the wait. I wanted to wait for a 4G model, but the sales staff assured me that once the...

    Rumors - upcoming features, costs, etc.

    The magic behind the Tesla vehicle model is that once the platforms are built the body/coachwork can come down like rapid fire. It would not shock me if they made a Model S AWD. Heck that would fast track the Model X as far as development, that's if it needs the help. I also wouldn't doubt that...

    question about 22"s and tires

    I've been doing the EXACT same research... I'm looking for 22x9 wheels myself, front and rear, a square set up. Here is what I've found: Wheels - HRE uses a 30 offset for a 22x9 wheel in the front and that same wheel can be mounted in the rear. Tires - Most places have recommended a...

    +1 to the LA family

    Hey Lump, I just noticed you're in my neck of the woods. I live right on the boarder of Granada Hills and Northridge. As far as wheels go, I was thinking about either ADV.1's or CCW's. I want to go with a 20" diameter but a lower profile to keep the same overall size as the OE 19" wheel/tire combo.

    +1 to the LA family

    Well... I'm new here, I just put my deposit in. I should gt it late October. I'm excited. I'm a car guy, mainly Porsche cars. This Tesla will be my commuter. I'm based out of the SF Valley and I drive to Newport. Let's see how the Tesla holds up to a 160mile commute a day...
