    Monthly Parking in Manhattan

    I have a monthly spot at 230 W 55th St that my employer pays for to the tune of $450. There is no exotic rate charge for my Model S P85D and while the advertised rate for using their HPWC is $10, I have never paid $.01. It is a Champion garage and I know the owners of the company who are...

    It's pretty rare for a Tesla owner to shop at the Queens Center Mall! ;)

    Is the Tunein interface down?

    I'm having the same problem despite rebooting a few times. No further news on this front?

    Would I be crazy to drive into Manhattan?

    I commute daily down the West Side Highway and have my monthly spot at Broadway and 55th Street, just north of Times Square. There are several Teslas there daily and they have 2 HPWCs if you need to top off. I trust the attendants more than I do any public parking lots where your doors are...

    Parking while visiting Midtown NYC

    I've been parking here daily for 2 years without a scratch. There are several Teslas that park here regularly and the guys are very careful (tip them well!). There's a small fee posted for charging but I've never had to pay. Champion Garage @ 230 West 55th Street Entrance on Broadway Champion...

    Anyone commuting 35-40k miles a year?

    My daily commute for the past 15 years is exactly 120 miles. Like clockwork, I'm coming up on 70k miles and just scheduled my second annual inspection. Overall, the car has held up extremely well and I've never had any maintenance problems. I've only had to buy new tires at 50k because I...

    Random Model X sightings

    I'm a bit slow with my camera while I am driving but distinctly saw one leaving Thunder Ridge Ski Area in Patterson NY at 3PM on Saturday 4/6/16. Was this anyone from TMC?

    AP doesn't use right front sensor?

    I hope you are correct so it can be addressed in future software updates. This issue makes it impossible to use auto-pilot when my wife is in the passenger seat because it leads to bleeding ear drums on my right side.:eek:

    AP doesn't use right front sensor?

    I've been meaning to start this thread and have been trying to get a decent video to demonstrate! I think the right front sensor (& maybe the left front too, I'm not sure) may be pointed downward to pick up the curb for parking. The result is the very uneasy sensation you get when the car you...

    Firmware 7.0

    I think that this is a great first step (or "beta") but the full Autopilot package still needs some work. Hopefully it is "learning" quickly as we've been led to believe but I agree that Tesla's admonition to keep your hands on the wheel is a good idea at this point in time. I have done 3...

    Firmware 7.0 Beta Discussion

    15,000 in 4 months? Now that's unusual! At that rate you'll hit 45k in 12 months! I average about 600 miles per week in my regular commute where I could really use some autopilot, especially late at night. Needless to say, I am more than a little put off by the fact that the "next few months"...

    Come on down! You're the next contestant on The Autopilot-Release-Date Is Right...?

    Original post by wk057: "Contest time!

    Car And Driver got themselves a P85D for long term testing (plans 40k miles)

    Thanks and right back at ya! The high beam feature is nice but there will always be features on the next generation that we'll miss out on (LTE being the latest). Yet unlike any other car on the planet we get new features all the time by software updates. I'm a happy camper and will still be...

    Help with Charging in Manhattan

    Just found out my daily garage installed 2 HPWCs and a J1772. The manager says they are fully operational but they haven't heard how to charge yet from their central office. If you are worried about dings or scratches, don't. The guys here are real professionals. I have been parking daily in...

    Test drove the 70d and 85d

    Green is definitely best... You should definitely get green... oh wait, you can't! :tongue: 13,500 miles in 5 months = 32,500 miles in 12 months = 260,000 miles in 8 years. So yes.

    Is the Premium Stereo upgrade worth it in a new p85D?

    I'm on 2.4.188 since 4/29/15 but the sounds been bad since I got the car in December. I'll be sure to try it with Dolby off when I pick it up tomorrow. Thanks

    Supercharger - Newburgh, NY

    So do you think that the two chargers will be up by the weekend? Coming back that way on Memorial Day and may need to top off. I can wait for a charge if necessary. We can live with 2 for a couple of weeks.

    Is the Premium Stereo upgrade worth it in a new p85D?

    I have an 85 loaner today because I am finally having the next generation seats installed. To date, I have been underwhelmed by the UHF sound in my P85D. I was shocked at how much better the standard package sound was in the loaner! I tried regular radio, HD radio, TuneIn & Slacker and...

    Yep, you guessed it! Apparently, NYSEG is also the reason why about a dozen new Chademo chargers in the lower NY area are still inoperable too!

    Elon: Apps and Google Chrome in the Model S by late-2014

    Does anyone think that Tesla is going to allow 3rd party apps anytime soon or are there too many risks to allowing information and control access to 3rd party developers? While I love viewing Waze incidents in the existing browser (Big thanks to Fact200 & co.!) the slow 3G limitations make it...

    Does anybody here regularly commute into Manhattan in their Tesla?

    Every day, 120 miles round trip. Put on the TACC, find a good Slacker station and enjoy the slow roll!

    Seems like a good location but I have not been able to corroborate it by any other source. Has anyone been able to verify the truth of a supercharger at Cosimo's?

    P85D: 10,000 miles in

    I can beat your mileage but not Avg Wh/mi. The harsh northeast winter has kept me well over 400 Wh/mi until very recently. I don't drive too hard but the cold and traffic are killers!

    Supercharger - Newburgh, NY

    Many have received their Chademo adapters by now, me included. :smile: I ordered in October and received it in March but I have yet to use it. While I'd rather have a Newburgh supercharger to shorten my trips and extend my range, I will take the Thruway chargers for now. Still wondering what...

    iPhone 6 and premium center console

    Has anyone else's iphone 6 stopped charging in their center console? It worked perfectly for the first 6 weeks I owned the car but two weeks ago, I started getting "unsupported device" notifications on the phone and now it just doesn't work anymore! Pretty frustrating for a $600 charger.

    TACC Tuning?

    I have been using it daily in my commute (which is 120 miles round trip) in all types of situations. I have used all settings from 1 to 7 and have pretty much the same experience. The only real difference is that the car waits a little longer in 7 before starting to accelerate and starts...

    TACC Tuning?

    No I don't think they are doing this but I agree that they should. I have noticed how abruptly the car stops when using TACC and then quickly accelerates when traffic starts moving. Many times, I see the brake lights on the cars ahead of me but my MS is still accelerating, leaving me a bit...
