    Model S Car Cover (Non-OEM Recommendations)

    Hi Everyone, So my company just installed some L2 (Clipper Brand charging stations) that are "free" for employees to use until a policy comes out otherwise, yay! The downside will be parking my baby out in the sun. Now, yes, I can spend $450 on the Tesla outdoor cover but quite frankly I must...

    Washing my Model S - First Time

    Good point. One thing I'll likely do is after I think I've dried it, is to take a lap or two around my block, then come back and dry up any water runoff from the cracks and crevices. Unfortunately, I don't have a compressor to get the water out--but I DO have a leaf blower. If my neighbors think...

    XM / Sirius for Model S - Discussion

    I know we have the capability of XM in our cars...didn't know it came with a trial...I've been addicted to Slacker for the past week, so I guess I never tried. =) With what Tesla has to offer for free, unless you love Howard Stern, it's definitely not worth the monthly charge.

    Washing my Model S - First Time

    Everyone is entitled to their own opinion however as the OP, I do want to keep this on-topic. Does anyone have any recommendations on specific CG products they have used? Also, I figure I'll need some supplies. I'm reading/learning that microfiber towels are the way to go, but how many...

    Discrepancy on my Monroney sticker

    FWIW, I took delivery last weekend and the Monroney sticker was placed in my glovebox without asking.

    Washing my Model S - First Time

    Wow...well thank you all for the insightful discussions. I had meetings all day (gotta pay for this bad boy somehow), and wasn't able to check the thread til today. A lot of great suggestions which I appreciate. This is not "just a car" to me, and I will spend the extra effort to keep it clean...

    Washing my Model S - First Time

    Just got my new baby this past weekend. It's already a bit dusty and will be ready for a wash soon! I have been leaning toward the CG (Chemical Guys) product line. Does anyone have any recommendations for what I would need? I usually take my old car (2003 Honda Civic--quite the upgrade eh?) to...

    Taking Delivery - Los Angeles (Centinela) or Costa Mesa

    I took delivery at Costa Mesa. My appointment was at 12noon; didn't feel rushed (even though I was late about 15-20minutes). No real swag (which is a bummer cause i heard others getting a jacket), just 2 fob protector keychains. Did not get to keep the bow =)

    Taking Delivery - Los Angeles (Centinela) or Costa Mesa

    I just took Delivery this past Saturday and it went smoothly. Paperwork was 15 minutes (if that). Car tour was minimal since I have been trolling this forums for months, I knew as much if not more than the DS. =) Everyone was friendly, was in and out in less than an hour. Car was immaculate...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    ha! I walked in and saw a few other cars waiting to be delivered, and then I saw mine had a bow on it and was like, aww they're so nice to have put a bow on it for my birthday, then I see a tesla employee putting a bow on the rest of the cars. psh! thought I was special for a split second. haha!

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Took delivery on Saturday (Costa Mesa, CA). I love this car. Handles BEAUTIFULLY and oh so smooth. Picked it up with 11 miles, went to the service center to grab some floormats and took it to get some nice ceramic tinting. So far just over 100 miles and love it. Got some nifty fob protector...

    The Great HOV Sticker Hack (making your HOV stickers removable)

    I'm still leaning towards just leaving originals in my glovebox and play the young/dumb/stupid card if I ever get pulled over *knock on wood*

    We are everywhere

    Yes....we are. (I can say that now that I took delivery yesterday!!) I was driving from Costa Mesa (of course there were a bunch around the area), but up the 55 to around anaheim, I saw another 2 within a 5-10 mile radius from my home. I know someone up the street just got a White MS too!

    Tesla Supercharger network

    Thanks for the update! I'm very excited for the Westminster/Orange, CA possibility, although anyone in OC/LA area knows they are in two different areas. When I think Orange, I think of around Chapman Univ off the 57. When I think of Westminster, I think of off the 22, close to Fountain Valley...

    Model S - Window Tinting

    I'm picking up my baby today and driving it straight to get tinted. I got quoted $495 for Huper Optik Ceramic for all windows (30%) except for front windshield. The front windshield (70%) is an additional $300. From what I'm seeing on the forums, it seems like a good solid deal and I've seen...

    The Great HOV Sticker Hack (making your HOV stickers removable)

    I don't mind keeping everything in the glove box, but I realize the way described above (setting legality aside) is safer than nothing at all. I would want some way for me to easily remove and reapply as needed. I don't drive very often by myself on the freeway for work, but would be nice to be...

    CLEAR BRA (paint protection film) - Full hood or 24" ???

    I'm torn on the Clear Bra dilemma too. For me to spend $4,000 to do the complete car, it's a hefty bill to foot. For the front end, it's still $1,800. The guys I'm looking at are REALLY good, so I get that I am paying for quality. Maybe I'm cheap--but I could save $4k, and if i huge rock scraped...

    The Great HOV Sticker Hack (making your HOV stickers removable)

    Nice step by step guide. I may follow suit. Question. And maybe I missed it. So, you print the copies of the HOV on an adhesive sheet, but then if you put in the laminating sheets, how does it stick on the car? The laminating sheets I'm used to seeing are front and back, so do these Avery...

    Owners delivery stories, photos and first impressions

    The anxiety is real...been checking status every day for the past 2 weeks. Today, status changed to "Production Complete - Your Model S is being prepared for production or delivery" !! What did you guys do to ease the excitement? I'm already on TMC way too much. I have my outlet, I even...

    Upcoming FW upgrade to "positively impact" essentially the entire fleet

    While I agree it's fun to speculate on what the upgrades are...has there been any hint towards when this upgrade would be out?

    DIY: iPhone to Micro USB cable swap.

    Looks legit. Curious though, for those of us who cringe at taking apart our MS (me), would an adapter like this work? Apple 8 Pin Lightning Female to Mini USB Male Adapter Short Cable Data Sync and Charge Converter Connector for Mini USB Mobile Smart Cell Phone Tablet -OEM - Newegg.com It...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Sweet! I think they will deliver it the week of march 9. Even offered to spot me an Uber ride from work to the delivery warehouse. Did you get any free swag worth mentioning. Honestly the car is great enough but a nice tesla jacket would be nice. :)

    Help me Spec a 60 or 85 . . .

    @ChriSharek I have an 85 confirmed and about 3 weeks away from delivery. I feel like I was in your shoes about 6 weeks ago playing with the design studio. Toggling between 60 or 85 and I was watching the price jump back and forth. I only have a 17mile commute each way to work (albeit mostly all...

    Maserati couldn't do this

    The Maseratis do have a nice purr...I WAS looking at the Ghibli before the Model S, but as cited above, the MPG and price just didn't do it for me and I couldn't bear to ask how much it was to change the oil on that ICE. (Side note, I'm less than 3 weeks away from delivery and I have major...

    Organize your UMC: Controller Wall Bracket - SOLD

    Ordered one! Excited to have a nice clean look on my wall where I keep my UMC. Also went with the "replacement wall connector cable organizer" for the plug itself. T-minus 3 weeks until delivery. Thanks UberEV1 !!

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Excitement is really hitting me now. Went from Late April to April, to Late March and now showing March. Told them I wanted to take delivery before my birthday on March 15th..looks like it's a possibility now. :biggrin: A big Happy Birthday to me!

    Buy a Supercharger from Alibaba?

    Interesting...not sure I'd pay 3k+ to try it. I do believe that the future of home charging will be a station like that either in your garage or right outside your garage and we'll have near-supercharger capabilities eventually.

    Upcoming FW upgrade to "positively impact" essentially the entire fleet

    I would love Valet Mode, 4G/LTE (my DS told me that the car is already equipped with hardware for 4G, just a matter of time...perhaps this is it!), and some additional apps / better app-integration for for live-data! So fun speculating, hoping, and wishing...This last few weeks until delivery...

    Tesla Finacing

    That seems extremely good. Going to call today and see what I can get. I didn't any geographically limiting factors to join. I assume you got 1.24% since I read they give a discounted rate for EV's. 1.24 for 65 is near-free money! **UPDATE**On-hold with "patrick" at DCU...seems legit! 1.24%...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I am kinda opposite. When I was placing my order, the design studio said late april...when I confirmed my order, it showed April. As far as the lease application, it was 2 days after I submitted all my documents supporting my application that I got an email stating I was approved. I actually...

    Owner robbed at gunpoint and Model S stolen while supercharging in Barstow...

    I am an anxious MS owner to-be. Long time lurker, this is my first post. I would honestly use the Barstow station a lot...I think bright lights should be installed (since they're relatively out of sight, shouldn't impact general public or residents) and security cameras very obvious installed...
