Big debate in our office; with the short notice of Virginia changing their HOV rules, are Tesla's excluded from using the HOV on 267 and 66... or are they still allowed starting October 1st? What say you?

well, that would require the touch screen to be working- Touch Controls > E-Brake & Power Off > Power Off. Model S automatically powers back on again if you press the brake or touch anywhere on the touchscreen.

I had the same problem, then it went to 11... apparently the Tesla service has never encountered my problem before. I rebooted after it got stuck, then my bluetooth didnt work. I rebooted again, and the screen decided to go dark and stop working altogether. That was bad enough, but now my...

Does anyone know what the little speaker is for in the middle?

2 questions for the DC/VA area Tesla owners- 1. Has anyone installed the after market "lighted T" front and back for their car? If so, any advice, recommendations, or regrets? 2. Are there any professional installers local to Northern Virginia that have done this work and come recommended...

quick update- it took me until December to finally get my car fixed and back to 100%, but the suffering is over. I sent in a DV claim to USAA (my insurance) and w/o any interaction or discussions they sent me a check. It wasn't much (let's just say it was 1% the value of the car) but I was...

ktrivedi70- can I hijack your request and add to it? I'm looking for someone to recommend good 19" snow tires for my 85D, and where in NoVA to get them put on. I was going to get nice new rims and put my winter tires on the stock rims, so I need a shop that can do both tire swaps and...

Seeking Alpha is a farce of a publication, be very careful "sighting" this as a source of truth. I work for a company that went public, and Seeking Alpha is nothing more than a medium for which they publish any personal opinion under the guise of a real article. Their sole intent is to drive...

Here's some quick pics now that the rain has stopped. Probably not doing it justice, but I love the accent of the tinting, it just gives it a slightly more aggressive look and highlights the chrome. I went with the c quartz, so I'll have to wait for another hot sunny day to see if there's any...

I'm not the kind of guy that spends money on after market features, but I just had my 85D tinted and couldn't be happier. I didn't go too dark, just 50%, but it made the car look super sharp. I was having some buyer's regrets on the metallic grey, it just seemed bland after a few months. But...

Got the formal estimate from the repair shop... looks like bumpers have gone up in price since the last posting- $2200 for the bumper replacement and paint matching. Glad i'm not paying! I had a quick call with St. Lucie Appraisals and he was very helpful and informative. I learned that...

wow, great information from everyone on this forum. I really appreciate the advice and suggestions, and I'm glad to be part of such a great community. I could easily live with the damage, or even pay for it myself, but it's partly out of principle and partly that a car this nice deserves not...

so over labor day weekend, some hillbilly redneck rear ended my new 85D with 2002 Sebring while I was sitting stationary in a parking lot. Luckily there wasn't sever damage, but she originally refused to give me her information because there wasn't anything visible. Upon further inspection...

In other news... where'd you get those rims?!

Nope...I was born at night but not last night. This is in addition to that space

Has anyone else discovered the secret compartment in the trunk? If you reach down the left side there's a nice cavity to store small stuff (I keep my bag of connectors there) however, if you reach in the compartment and run your hand towards the middle of the car...there's a cavity that goes...

With all do respect, I'm not comfortable taking the risk of driving someone else's car...as much as I like free power, I do try to charge beforehand and assume a spot won't be open. I see these spots as convenience...either I get a spot or I dont, I can always just park normally. I do know...

hey- I'm one of those "loozers"...albeit mine is actually charging. I almost took a picture this morning because I thought it was cool how many Tesla's were parked in a row. I agree with a 110 plug, I did feel bad taking up a space knowing that in 5 hours my car will be fully charged but I'm...

should have clarified, "doubling" was meant more as a term and should have used "extended" or for emergencies. But thank you for guiding me to other discussions about this. I for one am OK with a 1200 back pack if it means extending my range. Maybe I could strap it to the top of the car like...

My first thought was similar to mosts, it's silly I can't set my own speed. However, after reading this thread, there are some valid points as to why you wouldn't want a lawsuit on your hand and I concede. I'm wondering if a giant "Valet" button on the touch screen wouldn't be a decent work...

Has anyone else considered Tesla should make a portable "PowerWall" that could be brought on trips to essentially double your range of the vehicle? I realize there's supercharges along the way, but I wouldn't mind having a backup in the car just in case something doesn't work out that I could...

thanks!

yeah, that's pretty much what I was thinking, thanks a ton! I'm wondering if I could one-up and get an Adobe Illustrator file of a Tesla SuperCharger. It'd be cool to have that vinyl graphic on the wall to imitate a supercharger in your garage. Kind of like an updated version of people having...

As a new Tesla owner, I'm having a hard time figuring out which phone app I should use to find available chargers while on the road. The three I have downloaded are PlugShare, ChargePoint, and EV ChargeHub. I'm not seeing a huge difference in the apps for the DC Metro area. However, I would...

Has anyone created any cool art or graphics to hang in your garage to celebrate your Tesla? I recently framed a poster of Nikola Tesla's alternating motor engine patent (bright blue with white lettering) that hangs in her parking spot that looks cool: Amazon.com: Tesla Alternating Motor Patent...
