    Recommendations for vinyl wraps or repainting in Bay Area

    Thank you! I had seen them mentioned on the forum, but assumed they were in Orange County! :-)

    Remove center console?

    BertL: Wow, that was seriously brave to attempt that yourself! It's way beyond my capabilities, but you've definitely given me hope that it may be possible. However, as I look at it, it's really integrated into the main cup holder console, which was in the older models. I think it's going to...

    Remove center console?

    I just took delivery of a refreshed 90D to replace my three and a half year old Model S. I am finding that I really strongly dislike the new center console and miss that open space in my old car. In my opinion, the center console is a tremendous waste of space and makes the front of the car...

    Recommendations for vinyl wraps or repainting in Bay Area

    I just got a new Model S and I'm having serious second thoughts as to the color. (It's silver) Can anyone recommend some places to get it either wrapped or re-painted in the Bay Area? I'm in Marin, so close to that would be good, but I'm willing to travel a bit to make sure it's done right...

    Firmware 7.0 - For Classic Model S

    Ditto. I'm postponing v7 every morning (as is my husband in his MS) and will continue to do so as long as possible.

    For those of you buying sigs a "plus" model might be coming later...

    I was able to play with the drivers side visor in Elon's car a bit last night. When stowed, they sit along the car frame above the drivers door and are attached to a magnetic catch up near where the seat belt comes out. When engaged, they pivot out and are secured by a magnetic catch in the...

    Blind Holster Phone

    I actually tried this out in Elon's car last night. I sat in the drivers seat and put my phone in it. It's just two plastic tracks that you slide your phone down along onto the charge connector. I couldn't actually do it "blind" the first time, but with practice, one could. It was actually...

    Reactions to Model X reveal event

    I really hope you're right on this, Bonnie. From your keyboard to Tesla's ear! I just hope "eventually" isn't too long.

    Reactions to Model X reveal event

    I am. I'm pretty sure I'm smack in their sweet spot for desired demographic, except that my kids are no longer in car seats. (Mother of three kids, concerned about climate change and environment, affluent, already a Tesla proponent - some would say evangelist for the S) Not nearly enough...

    Reactions to Model X reveal event

    I was at the event tonight, and I came away unimpressed with the car. Pretty depressing and it feels like I'm at the end of a four year long journey with the X given that I put a deposit down at the launch in Hawthorne. I liked the windshield a lot. That was very cool. But the rest of the...

    Will the second row seats fold flat? If so, how?

    It is just inconceivable to me that the 2nd row wouldn't fold flat. Every car I have ever owned had the 2nd row fold flat. It is basic to the hauling function of the car. Total deal breaker for me if that whole space isn't available for cargo. (I don't care if it's actually folding or some...

    Model X tow capacity is too low for me

    I am not canceling, but I am very happy that I don't have a low reservation number and am being asked to commit on the information currently available. I have two X reservations - Sig 13XX and Production 1X (made at the X reveal event oh so many years ago). I love my 60kWh S and I'm...

    Tax implications of selling a Model X immediately?

    I have two Model X reservations (one Sig and one Prod). I'm only going to buy one of these cars, but have both reservations because I don't know which one I will want. I have a friend who would love to have the reservation I don't use. However, Tesla is apparently unwilling to allow me to...

    Jerome reiterates no reveal until deliveries...

    I for one am pretty disappointed by this no reveal situation, unless I don't understand it. Will Tesla be asking us to finalize our orders totally sight unseen? We have a very high Signature reservation and a very low production reservation. We're only getting one of these. We'll only get...

    007 Submarine Easter Egg

    This is awesome!!! Absolutely the funniest, cleverest thing I've ever seen on a car. I just giggled and laughed all the way home. I love Tesla! I love Elon! Only Tesla would do something like this. Absolutely awesome!!!!

    Is the X Finally Here? (

    Not sure. We are big Tesla fans and have practically every possible car and reservation (except a Roadster). My husband drives a Sig S, I drive a production S and we have reservations for both a Sig X and a production X. And we live in California. Tough to tell from us what the deciding...

    Phone App v2.0 (FW v6.0)

    After several frustrating hours, I finally got it to work. On the recommendation of Tesla Service, I had the car "forget" the phone, then re-pair (several times); re-booted the car touchscreen/dash (twice); and powered the phone off and on. I really don't know what the issue was, but it...

    Phone App v2.0 (FW v6.0)

    I'm having trouble with the Calendar app in my MS. My app is on (logged in), all the phone settings are set to the specified settings, and my car is recognizing my phone, but in the calendar app, for each day it says "No Events". I have plenty of events scheduled in my calendar. I use iCal on...

    Photo of X with cameras for side mirrors.

    Any speculation as to where the images from the rear view mirror cameras will be displayed? The obvious assumption is that they will be given permanent real estate on the main screen. I'm not sure I'm a fan of that though. If I select the back up camera view while I'm driving my Model S, I...

    Model X Signature Reservations Sold Out

    Whew! I really cut it close! With Sig X reservation #1335 on March 21, I must have gotten one of the very last ones. I had been meaning to make a Sig X reservation for literally months and would have been very disappointed if the window had closed on me.

    Model X Tally

    Yes, my husband drives the Sig Red S and I drive a Pearl White 60 Kwh. We'll sell mine when the X arrives. Can't wait! I haven't been on TMC much lately. (I sold my stock too early and I've been pouting!) Good to be back!

    Model X Tally

    Reserved my Signature X #1335 today. We also have a reservation for a production X which is something like #16 (reserved it at the launch party in Hawthorne). I'll only get the Signature if there is a compelling reason to do so, but I figured it was worth loaning Tesla $40K for a few months as...

    Dr Taras' Model S gets customized!

    Having seen your car first on this thread and then live this past weekend at Teslive, I must say I think it looks MUCH better in person than it comes across in photos. My 13 year old son thought your car and the "People's Choice" one next to it were about the coolest things he's ever seen!

    Pulled over driving Model S

    I had quite an interesting experience today with the California Highway Patrol. This afternoon, I was heading north on 101 doing about 30mph in traffic. Out of the blue a motorcycle CHP appeared in my rear view mirror with his lights on. I thought he might have seen me glancing at my phone or...

    Breakout Sessions

    In general, who is leading the breakout sessions? Tesla staff or TMC members? For example, the first time block has a session entitled "Designing the Model S". That seems like something that someone who was involved in actually designing it would lead. Other sessions, like 'The Tesla...

    Hey, what happens if you buy two Model Ses?

    Tesla app and website are not a problem as Laurent's screenshot shows. You can toggle between cars easily. We regularly charge simultaneously from two 240v outlets. No issues at all having more than one Model S, except being quite a bit lighter in the wallet! According to our delivery...

    Help me decide - Model S P85 or pre-owned BMW M5 (new F10)

    Get the Tesla. My husband had an M5 and loved it, but I persuaded him to test drive the Tesla. He giggled the whole time. (He doesn't generally giggle.) Now he has the Tesla P85 and FAR prefers it to the M5, no question.

    Today's lease announcement was anticlimactic

    Completely agree. I think the "math" with the time/money saved by not filling up and driving in the HOV lane is simply embarrassing. Big marketing/PR blunder on Tesla's part. Hurts credibility and it really didn't have to be that way. Just be honest and upfront with people and let them make...

    60kWh supercharging - I want my money back please!

    As posted as an update to my first original post: OK all, I have calmed down and read all the responses here. I am sorry that I sounded whiny, petulant and demanding in my original post. Please understand that Tesla has been my obsession now for YEARS and when it came time to configure, I...

    60kWh supercharging - I want my money back please!

    OK fine, I changed the original post to delete the reference to "False pretenses" because I don't want to give the impression that this was some master plan to deceive me and others. However, I changed it to "based on incorrect information that was given to me by Tesla" because that was what...

    60kWh supercharging - I want my money back please!

    In response to Kuggerand "If you 'currently' think that you are unlikely to get full value for the SC access upon resale, then you 'previously' thought the EXACT same thing, AND YET, still chose to purchase the option." No, I was afraid that if the SC network really took off and was critical to...

    60kWh supercharging - I want my money back please!

    I don't think they had a secret master plan, but the contention that if a car wasn't configured from the outset with SC access then it could never be upgraded to have it, was completely incorrect. If it is that easy for Tesla to just turn on or off SC access, since all cars have the...

    60kWh supercharging - I want my money back please!

    I configured a 60kWh in early November without supercharging because I don't need it. However, I was very worried about what not having Supercharging access would do to my resale value. I even started a poll about this: 60kwh battery: to supercharge or not to supercharge? Given my worry...

    40kwh Model S canceled

    I am very angry. I ordered a 60kw with Supercharging ONLY because I was afraid what not having it would do to resale value. Now I learn that wasn't a valid concern at all. I want my $2k back and they can turn off my supercharger access until I sell the car!! I'm a very good customer (my...

    Model S Photo Gallery

    Meeting other Model S owners on the road - do you wave?

    Yes, I always wave, give the thumbs up, flash my brights (during daylight hours), or something. Sometimes I get a response, but sometimes (usually) not. Some of my best responses have actually been from Roadster drivers. Around here (Marin County CA) I usually see another S or Roadster almost...

    Lifetime Average Wh/mi

    This is the most interesting and useful thread on the forum. Keep it up! And if you haven't posted your data, do so! The more data the better! And it makes me wonder if there's someone inside Tesla who captures and analyzes this data for all the Model S out there. Now that would be...
