Because of it's utter stupidity I've decided to rename my Y: Nervous Nelly. The next step will be to sell it. In cruse control (aka: whatever they call it) it drives like a stupid child with bad eyesight. I can't even count the number of times it's braked for no reason. It is only a...

I'm looking for suggestions for a good power relay to buy to help limit when our cars can charge. Basically I'm looking for at least a 240V / 60A relay that can be switched with low voltage, like 12V. It will hook between our 50A electric service panel breaker and our NEMA 14-50 220V car...

I think First Solar has a great product: Much better cadmium telluride solar panel technology; i.e. cheaper and better. Trouble is they don't seem to have the business sense to capitalize on it. Their stock price just took another huge dive it seems because they missed a financial target. This...

I love it. Zero to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds. And I really I loved the shattered glass demonstration. Very cool. Very masculine! What a cool marketing stunt. I ordered one. God knows how I'll pay for it, but I've got a year to work on that.

Has anyone run the Tesla app under Linux, like on a desktop, via something like this or this procedure which leverages a Chrome browser and ARChon? They say that some Android apps can be run on Linux, and some can not, ...so before digging in I just thought I'd ask if anyone else has already...

To Tesla engineers: I want a button to automatically compute my 0-60 time (or 0-x time would be even better). Works like this: 1) I touch this special screen button while stopped. 2) When I press down the the accelerator petal the timer starts. 3) When the car gets to 60 mph the timer ends...

Just wanted to share... Our little town of Bridgeport, CA, population 600, explodes with people on the 4th each year with countless thousands of fun loving parade goers. So we gave them our best show. Our float was led by our friend's home made EV which towed our float, (made from an old...

No doubt, other EV companies are reading the forums here for ideas and information for their cars, e.g. VW, BMW, ... BUT sometimes I just want to pass an idea on to Tesla and not these other companies. I would like a drop box where I can submit a product improvement idea directly to Tesla, and...

I am NOT suggesting advertising to get more car sales, not right now. Rather, I think Tesla would benefit by advertising to financial types who might be interested in investing, or investing more in Tesla. These ads would sell the company. For example, "Invest now. Tesla will be everywhere."

I would like to see a more customizable Tesla software interface. My best idea of how do do this is from my Elk Products M1 security system with it's neat correct by construction method of programming customizations. You create rules that can depend on one or more things and then if these...

Another feature request: I want to tell the car only when I want to have it charged and by how much, and then let the car figure out when to start charging, even if that be 3am. In the future, this might also depend on knowing the lowest or most sensible electric rates. For example if the...

New feature request: * A switch to allow the car to automatically crack the windows a little, to let the heat out when it's parked outside our house during the day in bright sun, i.e. when the interior is too warm, and it's cooler outside. Obviously we might want to decide if this operates all...

On the touch screen to the right of the current driver's name we have a little icon that appears when I plug in a usb memory stick setup for sentry mode camera recording. The symbol is a black rectangle with rounded corners, and has a red dot in the upper right corner. When I touch it, it...

Ok, we're on our 2nd electric car, and I want to do it a bit smarter this time. How might one configure a Tesla charger to automatically adjust it's amperage output to match our available solar power output at any given moment in time? For example, when the sun is bright I want full charging...
