    Media player in 8.0 actually got worse (for local music)

    Hi everybody. We all need to email [email protected] to express this disappointment. I did so today and got a response back saying they will look into it. The more of us that email the higher chance that a quick fix will come out.

    Charging Help

    Sorry for the blast, but we are Model S owners who traveled to Arnold,CA for the weekend but forgot to bring our charging equipment (including cord) and are running low on charge. Are there any gracious tesla owners in the area that would let us borrow their cord for a few hours, or have any...

    TSW Nurburgring 20" as All-Season Wheels

    20" TSW nurburgring wheels with mirror cut finish. Got them from Jason and getyourwheels.com and they came fully mounted, balanced, sensors etc (just had to inflate tires a bit as they deflate for shipping purposes). Swapped wheels no problem. Fashioned my own centercaps. If you want more...

    Andy Blau at The Drive lists 7 things he hates about his Model S

    It was definitely clickbait, but I took the bait because I always enjoy reading the ridiculous claims made by people that have complaints. Most of the items on the list he should have known going into purchasing a car in this price point. I certainly did and, after consideration of the points...

    NHTSA Standards Inadequate?

    Saw an interesting piece this morning about front seats that pass the NHTSA "pull test" which, in all practicality, is useless in determining whether or not a front seat will collapse backward if you are rear ended, potentially killing a child sitting in the back seat. NHTSA requirements for...

    19" OEM Tires/Rims/TPMS/Lugs (only 24 miles) Original Stock 19" Set from VIN 90475. Tires are Michelin Primacy MXM4. Drove directly from Tesla Rocklin to auto detailer on delivery day, 24 miles, where they were swapped out for aftermarket wheels/tires. These are like new and in perfect...

    Center caps for aftermarket wheels

    I also got the TSW Nurburgring but in graphite grey and mirror cut finish. I think Jello's dark grey centercaps look fantastic, but I didn't have much luck with 3dcarstickers.com when it came to something with a silver/chrome background. The stickers I received had a fake "reflection" or...

    Orange Trail/Dust on fog lamp?

    Had the SC investigate, they say it's because there is a suspension-related part that didn't get fully painted at the factory and so as condensation builds (wherever it builds) and then gets blow onto this particular part, and runs along it, it creates surface level rust, which then can run out...

    Orange Trail/Dust on fog lamp?

    Thanks, Amped and Max. This gives me at least something to go on. I tried searching the forums prior to posting but couldn't find what I was looking for, so this gives me more meat for my search. I'll also let you know what the result is from the SC tomorrow. Cheers and thanks!

    Orange Trail/Dust on fog lamp?

    Hi everybody! I've had my 85D for a few weeks now and couldn't be happier! Coming into it I knew there are probably going to be little nits and nats that I need to address, the but the overall car is incredible! Has anybody noticed or had any experience with a strange orange liquid/dust trail...

    EPA Range for 70D 240 miles - does it make sense?

    Apache: Thanks for bringing this up. I am one of those who don't know what you mean about "impacts on degradation and SpC rate and taper." I also tried googling those terms to no avail. Do you have any handy information or links from with which I could start to educate myself? Thanks in...

    Range Rating decrease on 85D

    I knew I wasn't crazy: If you read through the comments on the blog statement for the D, other forum members note the range of 295 for the 85D. So at one point, 295 was definitely quoted by Tesla.

    Range Rating decrease on 85D

    Ok . . . so I could have sworn up, down and sideways that when the AWD was first announced, the 85D showed a rated range of 295 miles . . . I'm positive of this because I remember thinking that they were getting close to the magical 300 mile barrier. However, now the 85D shows only 265 miles...

    New 20" Wheels & Tires

    KeithE: Looks beautiful! After driving on 20's for a while how do you like them? I'm considering doing the same for commute purposes. Also, do you have the coil suspension, or air? If air, what setting is this on? I'm trying to get a feel for how high the car rides with 20 inch wheels and...

    Negative Camber in the Rear and Expensive Tires

    Linkster, That is fantastic, thank you! Yes, very familiar with proper jack/stand procedures and am typically over cautious. When one orders the part (and, I assume, the specialized tool since I don't have one) from Openevse, does it come with instructions that are more detailed than the...

    Negative Camber in the Rear and Expensive Tires

    Offset, Linkster, or anyone, I'll be placing my order for S85D soon and have decided that I will get the 21's and be prepared for this potential inside tire wear issue. That said, I am curious at the difficulty level you encountered in replacing the arms (assuming you did it yourself) because...

    My Reus sound system install: Photos and comments

    Thanks. I emailed Cliff but haven't heard back yet. My budget is tight for the audio so I'm considering two options: A) Tesla's audio upgrade for $2,500. OR B) Start with Tesla standard sound system and install a Reus for $3,000 (assuming the $3,000 noted in these forums is starting from...

    Negative Camber in the Rear and Expensive Tires

    Linkster, thanks for the response. I'm curious . . did you do the upper control arm replacement that lolchampcar has detailed in these forums? If so, the tire life you are getting is an awesome result! Also, when you mentioned you purchased/swapped used 21s and three were bent . . .are you...

    My Reus sound system install: Photos and comments

    Does it make more sense to start with the standard sound and let Reus perform their magic, or is there a benefit to upgrading to Tesla high fidelity sound and then Reus layers on top of that? Trying to determine what to order with my new D. Thanks!

    Reus Audio Upgrade Completed!

    Hi! I'm interested in a Reus system and will be ordering my Model S soon. I'm pretty confused as to whether it's better to skip the Tesla high fidelity sound and just start with the standard sound, or to order the high fidelity sound and then Reus builds from there. The configurations and...

    Negative Camber in the Rear and Expensive Tires

    Ha ha! That's awesome you've already ordered the P85D. Nice . . . I'd love to know what's involved in changing the rear upper control arms . . . is it a kit? Based on some of your other posts something tells me you know a bit more than the average Joe when it comes to customizing your car...

    Negative Camber in the Rear and Expensive Tires

    All great information here on the forum about tire wear and 19's vs 21's. This is honestly my last remaining hesitation about the Model S for me, since I do about 25,000 miles per year. From everything I've gather from other threads and this one, this seems to be an issue that will simply be a...

    New Seats and Retro Fit Seats - Does anyone know when?

    Thanks, interesting perspective. The main reason why I ask is because my friend just bought a P85+ and I took a ride in it for about 10 minutes and I felt like the seats were pretty firm . . . but since he just got his he actually ordered it a few months ago, so I was trying to identify the...

    Tesla warranty now has 8 year/infinite mile battery & drive unit warranty retroactive

    Hi all! Excited that I'm on the verge of pulling the trigger on a MS P85. This thread has been hugely informative and I appreciate everyone's input! That said, I'm trying to wrap my head around the warranties available and how that applies to my own situation. I will be driving the MS P85...

    New Seats and Retro Fit Seats - Does anyone know when?

    Hi all! I am on the verge of pulling the trigger on the MS. I've been scouring this board (and others) for information on seats, since I will spend a significant amount of time in it due to my commute. I've see the video and all the info from early 2014 about "improved seats" and also noticed...
