    Hold Steering Wheel every 20-25 seconds?

    Yes - now I remember why I stopped posting here. No matter what you say, someone's always ready to bash you for it... Bye again TMC.

    Hold Steering Wheel every 20-25 seconds?

    This has not been an issue for me - I rest one hand on the bottom of the steering wheel and never see an alert. Honestly, after the latest updates, the auto-steer has been fabulous in my AP1 Model S.

    POLL : Did you buy a Model S 60 or a 75?

    I think the 60/60D was the best deal Tesla has had - I hope they bring it back someday. However, I believe they were probably losing money on them as few owners seem to be upgrading the battery. I was able to get all the options I wanted on the car for 8oK - which was the top of my budget. I...

    Big Oil Strikes Again: New Taxes on Electric Vehicles

    I agree with most here - state governments are looking to recoup tax revenue from perceived lost gas sales to PEVs - not Big Oil. I can understand that and don't mind a fair tax. But, in Georgia, the flat tax of $200/year does not seem fair in some respects. For an equivalent gas tax of...

    N. Virginia Owners - Does a D matter or is RWD ok?

    I've been very pleased with my S60 RWD - 5K for 8 miles of range and 0.3 seconds of 0-60 was not worth it - but it depends on your priorities. I felt 2.5K for the UHFS was worth it - it sounds great to me. The power and acceleration of even the base RWD model is really awesome - I like the...

    Faraday Future Live Event

    Impressive vehicle - terrible presentation. I don't see any of these rolling off the assembly line in 2018 - if ever. They don't even have a factory building - how can you build and tool a factory, create a supply chain of parts and employ enough labor to start stamping these out in 12-18...

    Picked Up The New P100D Today....Have Some Questions

    Congratulations on your awesome car! As for noise #2, as others have stated, it is probably ventilation louvers behind the front grill opening or closing - depending on conditions. On mine it sounds like the car is farting sometimes when I park it - it's kind of embarrassing for such an...

    Tesla source for software limited S60 daily charging to 100%

    I always charge my 2016 S60 to 100% at home. I'm convinced that the battery is top-end limited because: 1. Full regen is available even at full charge (if the pack temperature is high enough). 2. There seems to be very little taper at the end of a Supercharger session to 100% If that is indeed...

    S60 - 210 miles stated vs actual charge after charge is 205

    I have a 2016 S60 - mine showed 210 this morning after a full charge at 60 degrees F. I think temperature is a factor - I have seen it between 205-209 when it is colder. Recent driving history may be a factor as well.

    With 8.0 I have to take over for auto pilot more

    I'm not very comfortable with AP 1.0 either - the only time I use it is on a divided highway with light traffic - I hold on to it every time a vehicle passes. My issues: 1. The auto-steer has a difficult time maintaining lanes over a crest. I have a few spots on my commute that I have to take...

    AP1 owners take heart

    I have a recent S60 - I am really pleased with the car - I love BEV cars and the way they drive. I have AP 1.0, but I'm not really comfortable with it yet: 1. The auto-steer has a difficult time maintaining lanes over a crest. I have a few spots on my commute that I have to take over after...

    I assume it's something like the Tesla "snake" - that would allow autonomous vehicles to charge.

    First post, test drive Tuesday, I have questions

    3K does seem steep for what you get - welcome to Tesla! I think the power lift gate on a high-end car is a must - the HEPA filter and lighting are nice too. I didn't get this option - seemed like something that would break down the road. The ride on the standard suspension is fantastic - it...

    J-1772 Adapter - Currently Unavailable from the Tesla Store

    Looks like it is once again available at the online store - sorry for the false alarm. Tesla — SAE J1772

    J-1772 Adapter - Currently Unavailable from the Tesla Store

    I'm sure you are correct - my concern was that they would stop selling them at the online store. Perhaps a "Temporarily Out of Stock" message at the store would be clearer.

    J-1772 Adapter - Currently Unavailable from the Tesla Store

    Tesla — SAE J1772 The J-1772 adapter is showing that it is unavailable for purchase online - I wanted another to keep in my car. I use an L2 charger at home so I keep the one that came with the car plugged into the cord. I wonder if this is an out-of-stock condition or a permanent change?

    Launch Pad Explosion during Static Test Fire - Sept 1 2016

    It is my understanding that both stages of the rocket were fully fueled for the static test fire. I believe the bang or "rattling" that was heard a second or so before the main explosion was the breached helium tank banging around inside the LOX tank. This then caused an over-pressurization of...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    My MVPA says on or about 9/7 and I'm picking up tomorrow (9/14) - hmmm.... I agree, My Tesla and Tesla status emails are a waste of time - in my case the DS seemed to be the best source of status information.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I guess it depends on the experience level of your DS, but they should be calling a couple of weeks before the vehicle arrives at the delivery location to schedule an appointment for delivery. At least that has been my experience so far...

    Launch Pad Explosion during Static Test Fire - Sept 1 2016

    It is my understanding that there is a (smaller) helium tank mounted inside the liquid oxygen (LOX) tank that maintains tank output pressure as the LOX in the tank is consumed. The helium tank is mounted to the top of the tank via metal struts that extend from the outside wall of the helium...

    Steve Wozniak looking to "Bolt" from his Model S

    I considered the Bolt myself, but the lack of charging for longer trips (CCS or L2) and limited tech feature set (no AP, etc) made the Tesla more attractive - despite it's oft criticized, spartan interior. There also seems to be some doubt as to how hard Chevy will push the Bolt to dealers (and...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Browsing the delivery spreadsheet - there are three (3) deliveries this quarter (so far) documented in PA - 14, 18, and 21 days from the end of production. I not sure how accurate that data may be, but hopefully you'll get yours by the end of the month!

    IMHO - the DS seems to be a better source of timely information than My Tesla or the Tesla emails - although I haven't taken delivery yet. My DS has me scheduled for next Wednesday - we'll see.

    Launch Pad Explosion during Static Test Fire - Sept 1 2016

    Yes - I agree - it doesn't look like it starts at the rocket. It might be either an over-pressurization, ruptured hose, or electrical arc in the strong-back. I hope they can resolve this soon - I really believe SpaceX will be the leader in US space exploration (and already is in some ways).

    Launch Pad Explosion during Static Test Fire - Sept 1 2016

    Could be a tank over-pressurization.

    Launch Pad Explosion during Static Test Fire - Sept 1 2016

    it is my understanding that the static fire test is a full "dress rehearsal" of the launch - you just don't let the rocket go. Then, unload the propellant and safe the rocket after the test is done.

    Launch Pad Explosion during Static Test Fire - Sept 1 2016

    That's what it looks like to me - Maybe it's a pad explosion and not the rocket itself.
