i live in the socal area and was looking to get a lifetime alignment started on my 2015 70D MS due to the fact that my last set of tires wore unevenly (more on the inner wall). most places said they didnt do it. i finally found a firestone in the area that said they would do it. i went today...

needless to say super pissed today. we parked in a neighborhood area in Los Angeles and went hiking today. when came back, saw a huge dent in my nose cone. that appears to be the only thing damaged. on the photos, it looks like tape is coming off, but its the clear bra that has been damaged...

i had my emc chip replaced on my 2015 Model S 70D in June, and seems to have a problem with the "navigation" voice response (when you press the right side of the scroll wheel). the mic doesnt seem to pick up my voice now for some reason. i also went out of town in June/July/August for around...

pardon my extreme ignorance, ive been driving my Tesla 70D Model S since 2015, but not proficient at anything electrical. i charge my car at night in my condo, and my wife gave me an assignment to figure out how much we spend on charging this vehicle. so here are the facts, but not sure how...

so i have a 2015 Model S 70D and today when i took car out of garage (it was charged and happy), the screen refused to turn on. when this usually happens, i reset the screen by putting car in park, pressing brake, and pressing both scroll buttons until the T pops up, usually between 30-60...

im having a weird problem in my condo garage where my breakers from the garage charger keeps getting tripped up. ive had this setup for years now with no problems so not sure what the issue is. i live on the 5th floor, with no new major appliances or any new power needs. anyhow, my...

hoping someone has some advice for me. i live in a condo in LA where i mostly park underground with no cell or wifi coverage. as a result, its hard to get updates. i also work from home. every once in a while, i try and park in front of the building (has to be right in front) to catch the...

this has happened more and more frequently lately. so i get in the car, get ready to drive off, and after a split second, the car immediately goes into Park on its own and stops. its very alarming and surprising. there is nothing in front of me, no obstacles or anything like that. seems to...

Daniel Hernandez on Twitter are all teslas supposed to stop like this automatically? I don’t think mine does that. in fact i got into a similar accident last year where the car didnt stop at all. Want to make sure im not missing a setting that needs to be adjusted. i own an autopilot 1...

of course i played with it more when it first came out. but i havent used it in months. yesterday, i tried using on my phone and key fob. i was in a tight spot that i had to reverse about 2 more feet. there were no obstructions. i activated the summons and it attempted to back up, then...

i was on the phone with the service center today (i think the main call center), and was discussing a few items i was hoping you guys can clear up. 1. WARRANTY---what is the basic warranty on the car? isnt it 4 years, 50,000 miles? she kept telling me it was 8 years for new vehicles. (my...

im in LA, CA, and when i am zoomed in to the street level driving, and i search for the nearest home depot lets say, it zooms out to the entire state of california and nevada area showing me all the choices like within 1000 miles. this is useless to me, and i end up having to zoom in, and its...

i used to live in a regular house with a garage and had no problem programming the homelink with the Model S. now i live in a luxury condo where i have a gate remote to open a garage gate. im having such trouble programming the homelink for the vehicle. is this something that isnt possible to do?

just this morning, all handles open normally except for rear passenger side...i have tried resetting the main screen with no luck. pressing the handle yielded nothing....has this happened to anyone???? it doesnt appear stuck by anything physically blocking it.

yesterday, the dash screen (in front of driver) was black when i got in the car. the center large screen was on and fine. i tried reseting the car (on steering wheel), and it still didnt come back on. i was trying to move the car, and was able to drive the car. i messed with it for another...

I've noticed on a few occasions that the car is ridiculously cold in the morning due to the car ac running while the car is charging at home. I don't believe it used to do this a few months ago. any ideas why?

heres the deal....70D is about 1 year old. for the first 7-9 months, autopresent worked ok, with the presentation of door handles better when approaching from the front of the vehicle of course. in the past 2 months, they stopped working. the settings do have auto-present selected. we...

i have a 70D with a premium package lighting. in the trunk, i have a light on the trunk (that goes up and down), and lights on both sides just below the parcel shelf mounting brackets. i changed them out to be a LED light strip, and all was working fine, until i noticed the past week, those...

Please help, from what I understand as long as you can charge in either 1a or 1b and no one else in charging in the other stall you should be good. Today in Culver city, I tried charging at 1a and was getting 180 miles per hour. I decided to move to 1b and started getting 225mph. Why the...

here was the situation...we were on an empty freeway the other day and it was raining and windy...the route was 50 miles, and autopilot worked fine the majority of the way. then all of a sudden, autopilot went from 65 mph to 30 mph and stayed there...was pretty alarming. the speed limit didnt...

does anyone know the current situation of these chargers? are these tesla chargers? how many are there? plugshare shows slightly different info that i believe is current. i heard the mall is being renovated and these are out of order? anyone know how reliable they are?

What is the usual vampire drain rate if a car is left unplugged for a long time? heres the deal…im in Houston and forgot my tesla connector charger….so the tesla store will allow me to borrow one for a month… For the month of june, I will be in houston. But for the month of July, I will be...

please forgive me, i know nothing about inverters/electricity/voltage etc... i usually charge at my home with a NEMA 14-50, and all is good and fine. i will be traveling to visit a friend with no public chargers nearby and will charge at him his home. he has had other friends with teslas...

saw this this morning as i was surfing the web on the screen, the screen asked me if i wanted to upgrade to Chrome, firefox, IE, etc.... i was driving in bad weather and tried to download chrome, but it kept failing...has anyone done this already? is the web surfing experience much better than...

please excuse my ignorance, im no electrician nor do i know much about electricity and voltage. but ive read that some people in between houses (like me) are able to use their dryers to charge their EV cars, instead of the painful 110V wall charger. i know most dryers are 220V/240V. does this...

i like the summons feature as i have a car in a very very tight spot, and love the use. its difficult to open the doors in the tight spot. however, when i try to summon car from the rear and side, its difficult to get done. takes me a few tries to get the key fob to work right. i usually...
