On/Off Power access

[Robert.Boston]

And the reason you have to drive faster than the speed limit is?...
It's not like you will get there any faster because all that will happen is you'll get behind a slow car or have to stop at a stop light.
In addition, it's far more nerve-wracking worrying about speeding tickets or when you'll get going again.

Or not. My drive from Boston to Maine is about 180 miles. Increasing my average speed by 10 mph shortens the trip by over 30 minutes, which at my billing rate is over $400.

After my company keeps its slice, and then the government takes its slice, my piece of pie is much smaller. Still, I can't complain.

To bring things back to the Model S and its fuse box location .. or existence. Can someone on the Amped tour ask about this?

Normally in ICE cars the fuse box is located behind a door in the side of the dash that can be accessed only when the front driver side door is open.

Thanks,

Ok the Model S Owner's Guide is up here:

| Tesla Motors

And now we finally know where they have hidden the fuse box (in the frunk):

And here is a map of the fuses:

Now the question how can one hard wire a radar detector to the fuse box or will we have to search of lighting wires hidden in the headliner?

Huh, what's the "2V power" for fuse 35? Or is that a standard 12V power outlet?

Congratulations, you are the first customer to find a typo in the Model S manual.

Haha I found one too...but even more minor than this. Overall though I think the brief overview guide was well-done.

Cool! I expect a personal note of thanks from Elon! :tongue:

I had that beeping v1 for years until I got paced by an undercover cop and got a huge ticket. I was too confident with my v1 so I ditched it.

Probably will give 9500ix or smart radar a try. Less false alerts and smart radar is hidden.

It would be cool if Escort came out with a SmartRadar app for the Model S display. Failing that, it might be reverse-engineerable. Seems to use bluetooth to connect to smart phones. (I have a couple V1's which I like, particularly because of the directional arrows. Never used an Escort.)
