    Tesla Service Center - Dedham, MA

    I am glad that Tesla is finally expanding their Dedham facilities. The site was always a bit small anyway (in my opinion), and as the volume of cars increased over the years, it became difficult at times. It would be interesting to go back to 2015 when the Dedham facility was opened to see...

    Supercharger - Dedham, MA

    Right. I just checked the Supercharger map and that site is not yet shown. Sorry if I made a red herring comment!

    What's the difference between the Hot and cold defrost options?

    Not quite sure I am following your explanation. But in every car I have owned before I had a tesla, there was a "Defrost" button and also air controls that could direct air in various ways, usually including an option for "bilevel" flow that went to the windshield and the floor. The "Defrost"...

    Supercharger - Dedham, MA

    There is another Supercharger installation under construction (or maybe complete by now?) further north on Providence Highway, near the Dedham/West Roxbury line (in the parking lot near Chick-Filet). Maybe the data entry for that was mis-located?

    Starting to see 2015s with BMS_u029 and 018

    I had not seen this thread before today, but I am glad now that I have decided to trade in my 2015 Model S 70D even though it has only 69,000+ miles. The car has served me well, although not without the usual collection of mechanical failures. My main reason for trading it in is to get a more...

    What does tesla charge for processing the registration and title?

    Just out of curiosity, what is Tesla charging these days to process the registration, collect the sales taxes, provide and register the title, and so on? Besides the fees charged by the government agencies themselves? I do not recall what Tesla charged me 8 years ago, but I understand that a...

    Ambiguous Model S interior?

    More to my taste, for sure! It has actual turn signal stalks, etc.

    Ambiguous Model S interior?

    I'd love to, but -- I have posted elsewhere (too much and too often, most likely) that I am in the market for something to replace my 2015 Model S, but have not been happy with the low seating in the S (getting old!), have not found the X or Y to be comfortable enough, and am looking at other...

    Ambiguous Model S interior?

    Nice photo! Tesla should use that one instead!

    Ambiguous Model S interior?

    Thanks! That should have occurred to me, especially since my car is a 2015, but now that you mention it I can see what you mean. There still seems to be something weird about that black shape at the bottom of the upholstery strip, but it is probably just the angle of the photo. Anyway, sorry...

    Ambiguous Model S interior?

    I was browsing the Tesla used car inventory and looked at a listing for a 2021 Model S for sale in the Boston area. I was not sure if the car would be a "Raven" or a newer facelift design, so I looked at the photo of the interior to see what screen is installed, horizontal or vertical. I was...

    What does the Wall Connector do exactly ?

    One other thing it does is to provide a sturdy and reliable cable and plug, presumably more suitable for daily long-term use than the Mobile Connector (no longer supplied with new cars but used by many early owners of Tesla cars). I say this in part because of my own experience with my WC...

    Tesla's cooling and heating system

    Does this description apply to all years? I should think the description and components would be quite different for the latest models with heat pumps.... (Edit) From reading the comments, I gather that this is for the current (2021+ model years, right? Except I see no mention of the term...

    Suspicious influx of Demo Model S/X in new inventory

    Just took a quick look at the Boston-area inventory, and there are literally zero Model S and Model X used inventory cars. Possible the inventory is out of date because of the holiday, but....

    Suspicious influx of Demo Model S/X in new inventory

    I think you may be right, but I doubt it will happen. With the greater efficiency and range Tesla can now deliver, they could afford to make the car more comfortable, quieter, less "techy," more like the Lucid perhaps. But as was said earlier, I think their real opportunity would be in the...
