    Retrofit rear seat heating - Model S, 3/2017

    Hi Evsnail, thanks for that very detailed and in depth description. I would probably lack the experience and courage to do such large scale changes on my own, but maybe another cold winter (if that still exists) will increase my motivation to make myself a car electronics specialist. So i admire...

    Gen 3 Wall Connector

    Btw, does anybody has an info when the Gen3 TWC is offered in Europe. I have 2 TWC's with faulty cables and am postponing the replacement since some months, resulting in some additional trips to the local SC ;). Also does someone know where they are produced, in Buffalo where the production is...

    Wallchargers with long cables sensitive to cable failure !?

    Nice to read on Tesla debuts 3rd gen Wall Connector charger with Wi-Fi and new white glass design that there is a redesign with the 3rd gen Wall Connector . So new attempt, new luck. As Tesla is a company with focus on continuous product improvement, I am optimistic that my two replacement wall...

    Wallchargers with long cables sensitive to cable failure !?

    I have been using two Wallchargers with 7.5 m cable for 3 years. The first one has signaled an error with red LED 6 months ago and did not work anymore. In the meantime the second Wallcharger has also failed, which was actually only used for the last 6 months. The LED is permanently green, the...

    Retrofit rear seat heating - Model S, 3/2017

    I am super satisfied with our facelift S100D from 3/2017. The only weak point is the missing seat heating in the back which I didn't order at that time, and which only became standard with new cars in the middle of 2017. As we regularly go skiing with the kids, I would like to retrofit it and...

    Yellow bands of death can disable some touchscreen controls

    The yellow bands clearly are a material failure falling unter warranty, and i would in mid term expect that this is solved by the company which sold me a > 100 T€ car. But as Tesla shareholder and friend of its mission, i also can understand the potential short term impact. So they should have...

    screen discoloration

    I have the same yellow border issue one my 6/2017 S100D. For my understanding it is clearly a warranty relevant error. I am absolutely not in hurry, but will report the error to the SC before the end of warranty. As owner i am looking forward to a fix, as stock owner i can understand that Tesla...

    Was just told that AP 2.0 won't get FSD.

    I just ordered FSD for my early 2017 AP 2.0 S100D last Sunday for the reduced update Price of 2.100€ on the existing EAP, so i have to assume it works

    Uncorking official for most 75Ds!

    Are the 100 D‘s really already part of the party and on the existing internal bulletins? I pretty much assume that technicaly a 3.x seconds 0-60 is feasible and just waiting for the right time ... when some demand push is needed for the 100D Some competition vehicle comes close to the old 4.x...

    [Poll] Surprised 100D only cost 3000 extra? Missed the boat?

    The price difference in Europe also is 7000€ (> 7000$) vs 3.000$ in the US. I am wondering if this is e.g. justified with a different free supercharging policy, not suppressing free SC in that market (same question for Canada)

    100d is coming soon

    Funny, i personally have the same feeling - with every day passing without news on the 100d such a scenario of a interesting S/X tech update package announced with the M3 2/3rd reveal gets more probable. But no one of us outside of Tesla knows, and there is also some wishful thinking from...

    Very sad... Fatality in a Model S on the 405

    Sad story. Every accident and the optimal car setup for that accident is different. So the added rear stiffness of the 7 seat variant might increase deformation and acceleration for the front 5 seats in case of being rear ended by a "normal" car. It might just have helped in cases of being rear...

    Model X configuration open in EU

    Drive dynamic is nothing i would worry about, as it is a specific plus for EV's with the Tesla architecture that the heavy battery is still at the lowest point possible. So you are right about the issue for normal SUV's, but the big plus about the Tesla EV architecture designed from scratch as...

    Tesla Meeting with the Federal Trade Commission (Request for Comment)

    #428 added I deem the right of a (car or whatever) company to choose the most appropriate sales channel as a fundamental right in a modern free trade and free market economy. And for the first time since many years, the US has with Tesla Motors a car company with the potential to severely cut...

    Ask Tesla to make active spoiler available for 90D

    I would appreciate a Tesla info about the range influence of the spoiler, and (with the quantified range impact) have a opportunity to order it with the 90D as Option

    Model X Mule Sightings

    Also, as long as being production constrained TM can afford having its major product line releases being more equally distributed over the years, allowing in future homogenous capacity use for development teams, testing, production ramp up and production (compare Apple iPad/iPhone/...). As well...

    David Silverman, president of American Atheists on CNN with Tesla

    Mercedes swapped the cruise and directional stalks. Hope Tesla does that with the X.

    ...taken the experience of the Audi (comparable to BMW and probably new Daimler B-Class) vs the original Daimler setup, for me personally the Audi (/BMW/new Daimler B-class) setup with turn indicators in the higher and speed control in the lower position is much more intuitive. I would very much...

    Time to configure. Imagine the Model X Design Studio.

    My config (EU Reservation # 2025) would be: - Parking assist' steering assist, Adaptive Cruise control (and possibility for later upgrade to semi autonomous drive) - S100/S85 (Thinking about P, but will probably use this as part of the model III invest ;-) ) - Glass/Panorama roof - Reasonable...

    Model X vs Model S 17" screen

    I am a shareholder, fan and hopefully future owner of the model S, but i really have difficulties with the Model-S beta design. I feel much better with either the old alpha design or the floating Model X design. Taken the innovative approach of all Tesla cars the model X design would fit...
