    What happens when you publish your doodle?

    I think they just get published to the car. What does the flying car button do?

    Dogs in a Model S??

    I'm able to fit this soft-sided crate in the back of my S and it's big enough to fit my medium 40lb dog. If I turn the crate sideways, I can even fit it in the back without folding down the seats. 32" Petnation Port-A-Crate E2 Indoor/Outdoor Pet Home

    NEMA 14-50 outlet Height, 18" or 48"?

    Nice! I like the sign.

    NEMA 14-50 outlet Height, 18" or 48"?

    No problem. I might even be able to dig out my original drawings if you think those will be useful.

    TuneIn Radio Problems

    I know. I keep checking with every new release. It's aggravating because it seems like such an easy fix. I have a new workaround though. Instead of rebooting the console, go to the settings for the Media app. Log out from your TuneIn account and log back in again. That refreshes the TuneIn...

    Solution for amateur radio operators? Impossible to use magmount antennas in a Tesla

    Barry, Any damage (paint? sheet metal?, weather stripping?) with the Comet lip mount? Did you end up mounting one on your Tesla? If so, where did you mount it? K6SLB

    Anyone have a VHF/UHF transceiver in their car? If so, any RFI problems?

    TuneIn Radio Problems

    The Listen Now button seems to come and go. It's not a complete solution though. Now that you've clicked on it, its list of podcasts is now frozen too. You can use it as a workaround though. The podcasts I listen to most often appear multiple times in the menu tree. If you browse the tree...

    TuneIn Radio Problems

    Argh! I tried listening to a podcast during my commute into work this morning, and it cut off at 30 minutes again. I guess last night's extended broadcast success was just a fluke.

    TuneIn Radio Problems

    I don't know if this is a consequence of the recent maintenance update or not, but for the first time ever, I was able to listen to a TuneIn podcast for longer than 30 minutes today. It played for a full 33.5 minutes...my entire commute.

    TuneIn Radio Problems

    The podcast I listen to most often, consistently stops at exactly 30 minutes of listening. I've never had any podcast stop in less than 30 minutes unless there was loss of signal during my drive. I guess I never really considered it a bug. I just assumed it had something to do with the licensing...

    TuneIn Radio Problems

    The thing that irritates me the most about the Tesla Tune-In app is that it won't refresh the list of podcasts after the first time you access a particular podcast. When you browse into your daily podcast from the Tune-In menu for the first time, it shows you the podcast for that day and the...

    19" and 21" Tire Wear (informal) Survey

    Todd, The camber on the Model S is not adjustable. At best, you might be able to get them to replace the upper link to subframe bolt, per the service bulletin.

    19" and 21" Tire Wear (informal) Survey

    I have one of the early models which showed extreme wear on the 21" tires. When I went in for the 6000 mile rotation, I had to completely replace the back tires due to extreme wear on the inside edges (and no wear at all on the outside edges). When I took the car into the service center at 12...

    Tesla Watchface

    No. I didn't bother posting it. It's not hard to make. You don't need any computer skills, and it takes about 10 minutes.

    Tesla Watchface

    Paul, I made the watchface using the Pebble Watchface Generator and this image of a Tesla logo.

    It seems to say something to the effect of, "Disables and darkens the touchscreen for any cleaning".

    Tune-In Radio

    I listen to a daily podcast on TuneIn every morning; however, there's a bug in TuneIn that makes this difficult. After I listen to the podcast, the TuneIn app stops updating the list for subsequent broadcasts. Fortunately, the podcast I listen to is listed about 9 times in the TuneIn menus, so I...

    Auto headlights stopped working

    It could be a dirty film over the sensor. For those who just washed their cars, perhaps soap residue started collecting dirt? I'm not sure where the sensor is located.

    Dogs in a Model S??

    Zex, Nice job! Do you think you could post a template or some measurements so I can leverage your work? Also, I've heard about folks cooking their kids in the third-row seats due to poor ventilation and sun exposure through the back window, but that doesn't sound like a nice thing to do to...

    NEMA 14-50 outlet Height, 18" or 48"?

    I placed the plug up high near the rail for the garage door and built an arm that extends over the charge port to keep the cable up and out of the way when you're walking by.

    Firmware 4.4

    If they went from v1.25 to v1.31, it seems like there should be something meaningful in there.

    Firmware 4.4

    I had my first problem with my car yesterday. The front passenger door popped open when I pushed the park button. When I called Tesla service, I told them about the problem and also said I'm running the latest (.45) version of the 4.3 firmware. He said he's pretty sure it's a software problem...

    List of Hotels with EV Chargers

    Last week, I needed to find a hotel with an EV charger on premises. After a brief search on the internet, I ended up cross-referencing a Google map of hotels in one browser with a plugshare map of EV chargers in another browser. It would've been nicer to have a list to refer to instead. In...

    Are there blinkers on the outside mirrors?

    Nope. No blinkers on the side mirrors, but there is a blinker on the side badge, just ahead of the front door.

    12V battery issues (error messages/car charging problems)

    I got the "12V Battery Needs Service" message this morning. I phoned Tesla service before leaving the house, and they remotely confirmed that the 12V battery is reading 13.5V, so they said it should be safe to drive. They also said the 4.2 software update will fix the erroneous warning message...

    OK.. Where did *that* green come from!?!?

    The green on the Go Electric page is the standard CGI green they've always had in the design studio. None of the CGI colors in the design studio are a precise depiction of the actual colors on a real car.

    Official: Model S Extended Service & Warranty Options

    Transforming Automotive Service blog "In North America, a one-year (or 12,500-mile) service plan costs $600. This price covers your annual inspection and all wear and tear parts, excluding tires. This plan is paid for at the time of your annual (or 12,500-mile) inspection."

    Official: Model S Extended Service & Warranty Options

    I did some spreadsheet work to compare the total cost of each service plan option over 8 years, dependent on your average percentage return on investments, compounded annually during those 8 years. Here's the summary: If your average return on investments is less than 4% annually, you should...

    Tan Nappa Leather

    I think it's very dependent on the lighting conditions. You should definitely view some real samples, preferably in an actual Model S. I had been making all my color decisions based on the website design studio and showroom samples, but I completely changed my decisions after seeing them in an...

    Model S Delivery Dates and Sequencing

Now that the supplier issues are mostly resolved, they can start completing those partially built vehicles, but they can only...

    Random Model S sightings

    Seen on northbound 101 through San Jose this morning. I was surprised to see it stuck with me in stop-and-go (mostly stopped) traffic instead of using the HOV lane.

    This thread doesn't have any pics of blue with white interior. That's not a valid combination.
