You Can Now Autonomously Park And Summon The Tesla Model S

Yesterday I climbed a 30ft ladder to trim 2 Italian Cypress trees that were shading my panels. It was dangerous but I wanted max juice!! Per my app view looking at each panels production I could see 6 panels working fine but not producing as much power as the rest. This pinpointed the...

Max charge tonight for a long day trip tomorrow. Let's see how it goes tomorrow with the family rolling along all day.

Yes you are correct in this blog but his first version was using Iphone cameras. It's just interesting to see someone who could be the leader of the autonomous world in the next 5 years. He has already been offered a job by Elon. Just depends what he wants to do with his version of autopilot...

I agree 100%, Tesla is burning money and they need to true up quality issues. If you ever watch Shark Tank on CNBC the Sharks loose interest if you present them a company that after its 3rd year are still having serious quality issues. Everyone knows to carve anything out of thin air will take...

Oh yeah that's right, it is. Nice call! Still love the plate. Just ordered mine = Auto Plt

Jenn, I love that Tahoe Personal plate.

That's insane man. I guess powerwall is our path over the next 5 years?

Auto Pilot Recreation with a Smartphone Not sure if all you saw this but it's worth the video watch. He could end up working for Tesla down the road as Elon already offered him a job which he turned down. George Hotz Is Taking on Tesla by Himself

I ended up taking 7 solar bids at our house and what I found is that some panels are working at 16% efficiency vs others that are 18%+. I also saw some panels were 250 watts then some 265 and ultimately what I chose was a 310 watt panel. I just lit the system in December so I'm anxious to...

Seeing Lexus or Mercedes loaners on the road all the time was a shock that an auto maker who's average price is 100k offered me a prius. They lost serious points right then and there. I mean at least ask me what I would like. Don't just order me up an electric coffin.

I just counted and Tesla was the 12th car I've ever bought. It was a long term sustainably decision after I added solar. It's a very fast car, very technical car so I would expect things like fit and finish to be show quality as those things seem easier then auto pilot, lol. I'm not a Fan...

Hey Guys, Any recommendations for adding the travel rack to the 2015 Model S with Pano Roof?

Funny Yesterday at the SC the Manager noted this could happen and most likely will but I should not be alarmed as the car was trying to learn how I drive and make adjustments.

Very Nice man, love the set up. In California PGE pays us back at $0.04 Cents for extra (Dam Gangsters!) while they charge us anywhere from $0.16 Cents in Winter to $0.42 Cents in Summer. So Yes ROI on Extra is not great but with the Fed 30% Subsidy I can totally see building the system larger...

Yeah that's kinda a let down feeling when paint or clear coat is damaged due to lack of care when getting it ready. I'd take it back to the SC and note those items. Gary is the service manager and he seemed to look out for all the items I noted. Mine still has some scratches hopefully I can...

Copy that, yeah I've been flying in my car which is about normal for California driving, lol. We paid 3k for 6% more range +/- so I was hoping to get to 286 on max charge up from the 270 rated online. 283 is pretty good plus being cold. I'd think in spring or summer 286 should be achievable...

Yeah they initially said that would give me a Tesla loaner but with December being a high purchase time many of their inventory tesla cars were bought which they use for loaners. Im not an electric coffin kind of guy. The Prius was hard to drive. Next time I'll know better.

I really like that the car can set schedule charging so I can charge from 11pm to 6am on NonPeak times then make power to sell back to the utility companies during peak.

I went to Rocklin its close to me only about 15 miles away.

Yeah rain was not any concern but more the clear coat on the red multi paint was scratched up from the wrap. Having a nice buffed wax cleaned it right up. Kinda like a gel coat on a boat can be buffed back from surface level minor scratches. They were out of tesla loaners so they got me a...

I ordered Nov 20, it was delivered 12/20.

Did you max charge the battery yet? I did for a long trip and it went to 283 max charge for the 90D I've got. Interested in what yours is.

That looks legit, what utility rate are you running?

Haha, no I wish brother, that's total for the last 4 weeks it's been running. App on my phone let's me see usage per panel by total, month, week or day. I built it at 104% offset to account for charging the model s. The utility company here in California offers an EV charge rate but I don't...

Anyone using solar to power their model S? If so what power rate plan are you using? Tier Rate Plan or Ev Rate Plan?

Ok so I picked up my model S after my service appointment today. Drop off 1130am, pick up 4pm. Replaced left side blinker light sticking out =) Full wash, wax and detail as I asked since it wasn't clean during delivery. =) Trim not lining up with the doors, sorta missed. Its better but...

I am 37, just bought my first Model S 90D. Almost identical options as you so I can say easily this is the fastest car I've owned. I've had a few hot rods but they all need to change gears where this ride is just all go. Very high tech ride, loving the personalization the car provides. I...

Agreed Rule number one to a successful business is residual business. Not talk of early adapter vs new owner. Great you owned the first iPhone. I'll overnight you some cookies. Now go forward and prove to everyone you had the first iphone. Elitism 101 I'm an android kid personally...

Well this was enterprise rental. Not so bad for 1 day but really driving that car every day I'd easily grow a pair of moobs.

I think by you starting this thread letting everyone know you are an early adaptor tells me you are trying to elevate your status and lean towards an elitism mentality. I've personally just bought a model s and it has nothing to do with elitism I'll tell you that. I wanted my family riding in...

Dropped off my brand new model S for various issues. They gave me a prius as a loaner.

Yeah I surely will. Right now I am not feeling so hot about my purchase yet I want to love the car. We will see, hopefully by the end of the week things are str8. I gave them 30K cash and spent 116k. I did not expect this type of loose level quality checks.

Hey guys, here's my update. I spoke to Tesla and they are going to take the vehicle this Wednesday complete the door alignment, fully detail the vehicle. They are also going to give me a loaner Tesla while they keep it for 2 days.

Not like the other guy, the door misalignment seems to be the culprit, it closes and it holds water out since I have washed it since it just doesn't line up flush when closed.

The car was delivered to them on 12/20, I took it 6 days later. :scared:

So ok great. The electronics is cool and advanced but the fit and finish was completed by an amateur and the QC team turned off all the lights to pass inspection.

Is this normal fit for the door trim drivers side?

Yeah man I told them I'd like it asap but with Christmas they we're full with appointments. We had a chance to pick up on 12/23 but it didn't work out. I'm just disappointed, I've spent half as much on a car and seen better attention to detail. Any thoughts on the door trim not lining up...

I took delivery on 12/26 of a red model S 90D, Air, Pano, Sound, interior package. The car was not detailed at all, Windows dirty, glue on the roof, fenders from the wrap transport from Fremont to Rocklin. The drivers blinker triangle in the fender is sticking out. Also I noticed the...

I took delivery on 12/26 in Rocklin of a 90D Red @$116,000. The car had been there since 12/21. Overall the car was decent but definitely not detailed. I had to ask for the windows to be cleaned and a part in the rear seat was hanging off. The driver and passenger door chrome trim is not...
