After setting for a MCU2 upgrade, I noticed Tesla gave me a mobile service for the upgrade. Is that even possible? I am about to get serviced in a few days and there has not been any communication on their part to me about the cost, what the timeline is and such. I have sent them multiple...

This is really only for those who understand tesla's 150kw charging station's charge sharing operation. For those who are interested in the details read below: In the old old days superchargers use to be limited to 120kw and it was shared between 1A 1B 2A 2B etc. Moreover who ever connects...

I just wanted to see if anyone has a good reference for car insurance in southern California? My insurance, geico, has been steadily increasing over the past year. Again calling them yield saying it is their algorithm and base on the repair data they have. Now this is all because of Tesla's...

Purely speculation right now, but I think the 35K model 3 might have a new pack. But it is the same pack as the premium plus with 240 miles range. Similar to S75D and the S60D. It is just a software limited to 220 miles vs the 240 miles of the plus. If this true, it might mean the 35K model 3...

I just did my service and was handed an early 2018 S75D for the day. Here are my opinions comparing it to my mid 2016 S90D. Hopefully it will help current owners and probably future CPO owners too. 1) Build Quality: S75D - Definitely better, but not a lot better. My car was mid 2016 which means...

I am sure there has been some comparison thread already, but I would like to compare the features as well the cost of the two. I know this is not exactly apples to apples, but hopefully this will help people decide which to get. Base Model S S75 $71K without Autopilot $76K with Autopilot High...

I know we wont know unless someone in tesla officially reports this or the drivers do a drive test and maybe have access to how the kwh used like in the model S or wk057 gets hands on a model 3 and do the necessary hack to get that out of the car or extrapolate from the official EPA numbers...

I have an AP1 model S 90D. When driving on the freeway with many cars around I can see them show up on the dash screen. On my s75D WITH AP2.0 I only see cars in my lane in front of me. If the car changes lane but still in front of me, it disappears. I have the latest update on both cars. Does...

Just trying to communicate more charging ediquette for those out there. I was a burbank today. Obviously there is a line. As usual there is about 5-6 cars waiting to charge. There was a valet helping. When this one guy finished he was still in the stall. It was a model X. Apparently he was...

Anyone else have this issue. I was driving around 40mph and the door just opened by itself. At a red light ibwas able to open it and close it. This happened after receiving the new firmware. Anyone else experience this problem? Should I contact tesla about this issue?

Tesla's implementation of idle fees is a good start but just as I observed and others have pointed out. People just removed the charging cable amd jist park there. There was this guy who just parked there and chatting while others are waiting thinking they were charging. I think tesla should...

Looks like arachnid wheels coming soon. Weren't these wheels only for winners of referral program and never sold as accessories? I don't even know what to believe now. Tesla — 21" Arachnid Wheel

I am not sure anyone mentioned this already, but here is a video of why you should get the air suspension. Basically what I did was raised my suspension to the highest level before entering the flooded out road. My car was easily able to make it, but I don't know about other gas cars. You...

I really want to get a feel for how many people out there have creaking, rattling, and ticking noise. Ticking noise is like when you have 3M double sided tape sticking to plastic and is bearly sticking and you remove it. For me, There was a ticking noise from the left side airbag front A...

This comparison will be long, but hopefully someone will find it useful in their decision to getting a CPO vs new or inventory or whatnot. Back story: I was able to drive a P85+ as a loaner on a mini-road trip while the service center fixed some of the quality issues with my early 2016 90D...

I am not sure if anyone have seen this before but here is what happened. I charged nightly to 80%. Yesterday I charged to 80% (227 miles) and drove around a bit for some late night errands. I came back with 222 miles of range left. Parked it and went to sleep. This morning before leaving for...

I am not if anyone has addressed this but is the onboard 240V/supercharger hardware part of the 8 years unlimited warranty? I ask because it doesn't make sense to have just the powertrain and battery warranty only and make people pay for the charger replacement. If you can't the car it is...

I want to know where you can get those clips to hold the inner door panels to the doors. I plan to replace my sound system requiring me to remove my door panels. The clips might break in the process or better yet replace them all so I don't get door panel creaking after reinstalling. Thanks!

Anyone have any good idea on how to prevent rock chips on the windshield? I was on a road trip recently and there is not a tiny chip on the windshield. Can I cover it up with xpel? Any recommendation?

there is a lot of reasons for tesla to keep the drive train the same or at least similar to the model S/X but from what I have read in my research on electric motors induction motors are not as efficient as the PMAC. Size wise the PMAC can also be smaller, provide more torque, and will run...

ok this should be mostly tailored to US model s. I just want to get some numbers to see if everything is matching. Here is what I know for sure. 90D EPA range: 294 miles 75D EPA range: 259 miles 70D EPA range: 240 miles 60D EPA range: 218 miles After a few cycles and few thousand miles the...

I know CPOs can have accident history but I was wondering if it's possible or even legal for tesla to sell new inventory service loaner vehicles with accident history. Has there been a case where an inventory vehicles in the service loaner fleet encounter an accident and tesla still sells them...

I am not sure if this is covered but is there a way to manually turn on the battery cooling? It will be extra hot the next few days here in SD and I would like to protect my battery. I know tesla says they have that all covered autonomously but I was wondering if there is a way to do it...

I was heading to the bay area yesterday and saw 7 fully load trucks of mostly Model X heading to So Cal or other places in the south I guess. This is in 1 day and I might have missed a few. Point is I think there will be some inventory discount soon for these Model X heading into the end of this...

i am not sure if this has been addressed, but does setting range mode reduce supercharging time? I ask because I have not been able to get 120KW charging on my new 90D. The most I was able to get was around 108KW even at low SOC. Also the fan would kick in pretty early in the charge sessions and...

I am not sure where to put this. But it applies to both the model s and x owners. We all know that when you arrive and some slots are open we all go to the one that is NOT sharing charging slot. I.e. 1A and 1B is sharing. But 1A and 2A is NOT sharing. Nonsharing slots charges faster. However...

Since the bulk of the cost of any EV right now is the battery and since the Chevy bolt has an effective EPA range of 238 miles, does this mean Chevy can make a 400 miles range Chevy bolt for $70K? Though the market maybe small I think there is some people who would want the 400 miles range if...

i have the 19 inch rim and tire rack recommends Cinturato P7 All Season Plus Anyone has experience with this one. Ideally I want a tire that I won't have to replace for a while. This one is rated at 70,000 miles. I know it won't last that long but the next best is around 50,000. Also what...

Maybe it was this labor day weekend. Maybe not. Who knows, but what I do know is there are unattended fully charged teslas plugged into superchargers. How do I know if they are fully charged? Well when I arrived with around 50% SOC, plugged in to a shared stall, I was pulling max power (~280A)...

Looking at tesla's supercharging map, I seriously doubt they will complete what they plan to do by the end of the year. Also looking at supercharge.info, there have been a serious drop in permits and construction. Is this a sign tesla is hording cash to hold out longer? If so this means tesla is...

I have read when the the 90KWh battery first came out, supercharging was slower than the 85KWh. Anyone with an older 90D get any firmware updates that has increase the supercharging rate to those of the recent 90D model S?

I just noticed the Model X70D now is the X75D with a small price increase. Could the S70D soon be upgraded to S75D? Here is my take: 1) Tesla is already putting the 75KWh battery in new new Model S 70/D models, but software limiting it to 70KWh for now. Once the software is finalized, they will...

This is a hypothetical question and I am interested in what the response will be from current owners have if this was to happen. We all know tesla is building the massive gigafactory which is burning a lot of tesla's cash. We all know building a car is expensive and servicing and maintaining...

I just notice my desire to get a tesla has wane quite a bit the more I participate in this forum. In the beginning, I was really a tesla fan after the first test drive. I discovered and participated in this forum and at the time, it only convinced me I will be buying a tesla by end of the...

I want to get people's opinion to this idea. Here is why I am considering this. Recently they have placed a supercharging station on my way to work from where I live. I was thinking I can save a lot of money by not doing the following and use the supercharging ALL the time. 1) Save money on...

I have been obsessing over the max range of the model S for some time now. The only reason is I would like the model S to replace my ICE car and want to make sure it can meet most of my needs. I want to drive the model S the same way I drive my ICE car now. Over this website I found out the...

Here is my speculation on what tesla will release next in terms of Model S. We all know the Model X is coming out July/August time frame with higher capacity battery. Most here agree the Model X will come in 2 forms: 1) 85KWh version 2) ???KWh version. I think it will be 105KWh. This relates...

I wonder if tesla would give us some discount if we do a group buy. How many of you here are with me???!!! LOL

I know making a tesla purchase is probably a really bad financial decision for me but reading this forum and all the news and being in a tesla have really convinced me of getting this car. It is far superior to ALL cars I have been in. The most expensive car I have been in in terms of luxury was...

according the this website: Gas Mileage of 2015 Tesla Model S The 70D is worst on the highway but better in the city. I though because the 70D is a lighter car, it should excel in BOTH highway and city. What is going on here? Any opinion? Also it seems like the P85D is actually more efficient...

This is just my observation. But during my trip to the bay area this weekend, i've notice a few teslas on the road. More so than the other times i made the trip. However i notice they are all in the slow lane!!! Now i know why they are in the slow lane. But i just wished the model s can do 500+...

I was wondering if aero wheels help with range significantly or slightly? Some of the CPO tesla havw aero wheels. I am not so much of an aesthetic person so i really dont car about looks. I do care about functionaily. If the aero wheel can help me extend my highway range all the way to 270 miles...

I am interested in getting the lowest option equipped Model S 85. I was wondering if they even exist as inventory cars? I called around and tesla stores typically stock versions with more options like air, tech, etc and thus they would take the price on to the car and then deduct the miles for...
