    18'' winter wheels delivered without Aero covers?

    I just got my 18'' winter wheels I had ordered with my Model 3 and which had been stored at Tesla's official wheel storage partner and went to our local (non-Tesla) service station to get them installed. When we opened the package I was surprised to find that there were no Aero covers included...

    Europe: V10 (32.11) yet no Advanced/Smart Summon?

    Are there any owners in Europe who actually got Advanced/Smart Summon with the V10 update (32.11)? I have got the Advanced AP / FSD package, yet didn't get Advanced/Smart Summon with the V10 update. Strange. Is this US only as for now?

    YouTube videos in the Model 3 browser

    I didn't find any mention of this in other threads so I thought I'd start a new one. Yesterday I tried out the web browser in my Model 3 for the first time. Went to YouTube and tried to watch a video, but the video screen just stayed in static mode and the message said that my browser didn't...

    Speed limit recognition

    I was surprised to find that the Model 3 doesn't offer speed limit recognition yet (I'm on software version 2019.8.5). The display sometimes shows speed limits but they appear to be rather random and not really true to what is actually signposted. For example, on out of town roads it usually...

    Model S (driver) lifesaver in Germany

    Didn't find this here yet, so I thought I'd post this interesting bit of news from yesterday, where a Tesla driver on an Autobahn near Munich in Germany pulled a stunt - during rush hour! - to save the life of another driver who had lost control of his VW Passat due to a medical emergency...

    Model X European Tour

    I haven't seen this mentioned before, so I thought I create a new thread. A Model X is currently on show tour around European Tesla stores. It will be at Frankfurt Hanauer Landstrasse store/service center this Friday/Saturday. I didn't ask the store product manager about any other specifics of...

    Exterior colours brown and green no longer available?

    I just saw in the design studio that brown and green are no longer available as exterior colour options. :crying: Does anyone know whether this will be a temporary phenomenon?

    What would worldwide Model S sales be without subsidies??

    I don't know whether this has been asked before, but an idea got me thinking the other day: Model S sells best in the US, Norway, Netherlands and China. All of those are countries that (heavily) subsidize EVs, making Model S a very attractive proposition. In countries like Germany otoh...

    BMW i3 vs. VW e-Golf - My personal test-drive experience and conclusion

    So I finally got the chance to test drive both the i3 (pure EV version, i.e. without REX) and the new VW e-Golf - incidentally both on the same day :smile: Since I can't find a thread about such a comparison here yet I thought I share my experience. Let's start by saying that I am quite fed...

    Parcel shelf now standard in Germany

    Did anyone notice, the parcel shelf is now standard on all German Model S versions? At least that's what it says in the current German version of the configurator.

    Model E in 2015???

    Hi all, I just saw an article in AutoBild Germany (dated Jan 31 2014) that says in a recent interview in Munich Elon had stated Model E would launch in 2015!!! Rough Translation: "...The EV visionary also commented on the "Tesla for everybody". That mass market model (Codename "Third...

    A silenced critic at last - almost ;-)

    Well, last Wednesday the great day was finally there - my test drive with a Model S here in Frankfurt - and a P85 at that. The weather was superb as well, so after a long day at the office, off we went to the Tesla store. What were my impressions? As one would expect, the performance was...

    So this is it (first time in a Model S)

    Right, I am just back from Tesla Frankfurt, where I had my first hands-on meeting with the Model S. It was the plain white car (P85) that was featured a while back on several German websites and car magazines (with Munich registration licence plates), actually not a real Euro-Model S, but still...

    Real "fuel" cost comparison ICE versus Model S

    Ok, I tried to find a thread about this, but other than some single posts hinting at the point I am looking for in various threads, I couldn't find anything about this. My question is, now that the Model S is around an quantity, how is it affecting the electricity bill of its owners. I...

    nonstandard colors

    Not standard colors?? That's the first ever mention I heard of this. What's that all about? I thought we knew all the colors that are supposed to be available. Even Elon didn't get a "not standard" color.

    Model S annual maintenance

    On the Model S website Tesla say Then I read in one of the cost-comparison threads that the Model S requires mandatory maintenance once a year, and a price tag of 599 $ was mentioned as well. Now maybe I am missing the punchline, but if I have to pay around 460 Euro (at current USD/EUR...
