    Can front seats be switched between 2015 85D and 2023 Model S?

    I love the 2023 Model S I purchased in November, but definitely prefer the Nextgen seats from my 2015 85D. Does anyone know if those can be swapped between my two cars? I fully understand that I would lose the ventilated cooling feature.

    Bakery Fiasco is an opportunity for goodwill

    I'm sure we've all read the story below by now. Opportunities like this don't come around every day. For only $16k and a heartfelt apology for the misunderstanding the narrative here could be turned on it's head...

    Is there a thread dedicated to high mileage (200K+ miles) S's?

    I'm sure it's here somewhere, but I'm not seeing it. Is there a thread for owner's with 200K+ miles (original owners) on their Model S's? I've got 239K miles on my 2015 85D with 11.5% battery degradation.

    2015 85D 237k miles, warranty about to expire. Advice on service appointment

    My 2015 85D has 237k miles and the battery and drive unit warranties are up next month. I scheduled a service appointment and they recommended "2nd annual service", which is $1043.49. I also need yet another (#4, maybe?) door handle replaced for $299.60 and $194 for evaluation of a whining...

    Power a television using Model S?

    I'm going to be setting up at an event this weekend where I would like to display photos on a TV, but there will be no power source nearby, other than my Model S. If I plug an inverter into the accessory outlet, is that being powered by the 12v battery or by my 85kw battery? Thanks!

    Windshield replacement

    My apologies upfront as I'm sure there are numerous threads about this, but I've been away from the forum for a while hand am having difficulty remembering how to search topics. My windshield is cracked on my Gen 1 Autopilot Model S. I called Tesla and they said they could replace it for...

    Ever forgotten to plug in at home?

    I have a 190 mile daily commute, so obviously it's absolutely required that I plug in when I get home every night. It's pretty much automatic, but on at least one occasion in the last year I was distracted by something when exiting my car and realized in the morning I wasn't plugged in leaving...

    Launch limiter?

    I would love to be able to set a speed limit for launches. Maybe someone has brought this up, but I haven't seen it. Wouldn't it be great, on a street with a posted 35mph limit for instance, to be able accelerate to the speed limit (or whatever limit you set)and not have to worry about...

    Any changes of note in last 10,000 vins?

    Can anyone shed any light on upgrades made since approx. vin 93,000? I've been holding out on making a purchase until the "X" announcement primarily in expectation of an upgraded AP sensor suite, but @elonmusk tweeted three days ago that the S and X are the "same," so I'm ready to pull the...

    Replace SAS with Coils?

    Probably a stupid question, but if SAS goes bad out of warranty (which for a high mileage driver like myself can be 15 months, 30 months with extended warranty), can it be replaced with coil suspension?

    Whether to buy new S85D and sell S85?

    I have a beautiful 2014 MC red S 85 with 22.5k miles (190 mile daily commute) and am agonizing on whether to pull the trigger and buy a new D. Looking at what's listed used in Autotrader, Cars.com, etc, I'm not seeing anything 85kWh listing below $70k. Can I reasonably expect to sell my car...

    How much do you tip Tesla Valet?

    How much is considered an appropriate amount to tip the TMC employee who performs valet service? And do you tip at both pickup and delivery?

    3500 miles for $27

    Wow. December was my first full month with my S85 and I just looked at my electric usage and cost for December 2013 vs. December 2014. 2013: 960 kwh $179 18.6 cents/kw 2014: 1596 kwh $206 12.9 cents/kw A difference of 636 kwh and a cost difference of only $27! I drove...

    Charge Limit Warning?

    Got into my car this morning to begin my 190+ mile daily commute and the following "Warning" appeared on my screen: "Charging repeatedly beyond daily driving needs will shorten battery life. Would you like to lower the charge limit?" I charge to 90%, which typically leaves 30-40 miles in...

    Mobileye install/sound upgrade in bay area?

    Does anyone have a recommendation for an installer of Mobileye in the South Bay Area (Peninsula/San Jose)? I'd also like to upgrade my sound system which is currently the base level. I posted a request in the California forum but received no responses, so I'll try here. Thanks!

    Speed assist for older model S?

    Is there anyone else who wonders why speed assist (adjusting cruise control to posted limit) is only available on newer models with all the new sensors and camera? My 2013 Ford Fusion displayed the speed limit on all highways based on gps data and was quite accurate. The moment I passed a sign...
