Perhaps you haven't updated your card after a new expiration date or security code?

Very enjoyable saga. Bruce. These are all places have been, but not with the Tesla. Our only adventurous trip so far, and I highly recommend it, was Bay Area to Crater Lake and then on to the coast via Grant's Pass. We followed the Russian River to the coast and took the coastal route (101...

I don't think I have ever won anything in my life, but I'm so glad Mother's Day is in May. My car was a Mother's Day gift and we ordered it on that day in '18. It was delivered in June and has unlimited free supercharging and premium connectivity. I feel like that was a big win!

I think we are the beta testers.

I have noticed it too. Friday I was on a busy freeway with 6 lanes in my direction. Autosteer was all over the place.

I looked at the date of your post and all the chargers are now back in service. Around the time BMAH posted, a tree had fallen on a Tesla and taken out several of the chargers. They are all in working order now.

We put Suma Performance convex rear view mirrors on our Tesla S and they are wonderful. They are similar to the euro designed mirrors. They were a perfect fit and snapped into place without any problems in about 10 minutes. Check them out. Premium Blind Spot Mirrors (convex wide angle and...

Several of you commented on missing "blind spot" monitoring. I'm 5'2" and visibility is crucial for me. I bought a pair of Suma Performance convex side mirrors and they make a world of difference. They take a little getting used to, but the rear and side visibility is terrific. You see not...

I drove past Diablo Plaza yesterday and there were 12 cars on the chargers. I could tell some of the spaces were ICED, but I didn't see anyone waiting. I checked Target on my screen and only 4 cars were charging. That's unusual. I have a feeling that there is going to be some friction with...

Does anyone know if they have increased charging rate at the Target Superchargers? At least some of the pressure will be off Diablo Plaza. There were 11 cars on chargers when I came by today.

I saw that last night. If that is your beautiful car, I feel really badly for you. Because of the power outages in the neighborhood as well as other areas in the city, there was a high demand for chargers last night. I think about 6 chargers were roped off, and several were ICEd.

Maybe we need "Made in USA" stickers for our Teslas.

I wish what ever they are doing, they would hurry up and do it. Things are gettin a little testy at Diablo Plaza between ICE cars and Teslas.

There seems to be an assumption that the driver is alert and sees or hears the lane splitter coming. Especially in heavy Sf Bay Area traffic, I am watching my mirrors regularly and often I still don't see them coming, or they are really fast or they just appear from another lane. I would...

My screen says temporary closure. I also noticed today there were repair trucks working on the chargers at Diablo Plaza. ??? I didn't have time to stop and check it out.

This kind of thing can happen to anyone. There are so many things we do by habit and rote and it happened to me today. After a couple of months of driving the S exclusively, I needed our Jeep to haul some stuff. I parked the car, made sure I had the fob in my pocket and walked away. After...

Our 14-50 installation is very similar. We ran ours in a metal conduit outside the drywall in the garage, and then in the wall to the box. The total run to the box was about 16 feet. We used the same size wire that you did. It has worked very well for us. We are really lucky to have a...

Ah. I tend to take people at face value, and figured she was a newbie.

I've had the car a year and I still don't trust the AP too much. I use the TACC a lot but tend to hover.

You guys made my day! What a hoot!

That's a pretty good shakedown drive for a first day. Congratulations!

Obviously this was a clue right off the bat. I truly understand your excitement and anticipation, and you knew that advisor was lying through his teeth as soon as you saw the car. I waited 4 years for my MS. Having always bought new cars or demos, I would have shared your concern about the...

Here we get credit for everything we send back to the grid after subtracting what we use, and that is applied to the next year's bill. The thing that really annoys me is that California doesn't count hydroelectric as renewablel. The PUC fears that if they count hydroelectric then there will be...

Our solar system is six years old and has worked flawlessly. We didn't anticipate an electric car when we put them up, so we are a little behind the curve this year. At "True Up" next month, we figure our annual bill will be around $120. We are talking about adding about 4 more panels. It is...

Me.

I, too, can feel your pain, as can nearly everyone who reads this, I expect. I hope when all is said and done, your car and your patience will be intact and updated. Please keep us posted.

Gives a whole new meaning to air suspension.

I think I have to train myself to back into a parking place. How many of you use the auto park? I've been afraid to try it. I also love putting my groceries in the frunk. I enjoy the strange looks.

I'm really excited for you. We ordered ours from the factory and the 4 - 6 weeks seemed like a lifetime. It turned out to be 5 weeks.

My front and left cameras are working with no issues, but the format of the right side camera seems to be recorded but is not recognized by my computer. I'm on a Mac. Ideas?

This made me laugh. I grew up near Detroit when you ordered your car EXACTLY like you wanted. When you got the call with the date it was scheduled to come off the assembly line, if it was Monday or Friday, you cancelled the order. Monday and Friday cars were notorious for assembly errors. The...

There are so many factors to consider when suggesting someone buy a Tesla or any EV vehicle. Lifestyle, personality, driving needs, ability to charge easily and conveniently, and access to service centers come to mind. I'm a relative newbie here. Our car is one year old last week and we...

I'm impressed!

Whenever I am driving on AP my mind keeps saying "Beta - Beta - Beta" over and over. To me that means it expects me to pay very close attention. Driving south on Highway 5 in CA it quit fairly frequently. It's a very straight road. I'm not sure why, there wasn't anything I noticed except...

That is so cute! If I'm not mistaken, that's a fiberglass and aluminum trailer. I wonder how many kWhs it would take to haul that over the Tehapachi or Tejon Passes with a horse in it?

Yes, but you can't pull a horse trailer with a Tesla. :::sigh:::

I wouldn't quibble about $100 either if it actually goes to our roads and not alternative transportation (bullet train) or the general fund. It's 1 and 1/4 tank for our Jeep.

That happened to me one time. I was really concerned about the turn signal since I was in a lot of traffic, then I noticed the reflection of my turn signal blinking away on back of the car ahead. It was comforting that the signal was working even though I had no other indication. On the next...

I can't believe California hasn't instituted an EV tax. They tax you for everything else imaginable. I think the air quality board has pushed EVs so heavily on ICE owners to go electric that there would be quite a backlash. We even received a letter from the air board last week offering us...

I'm probably guaranteeing I'll get a ticket if I say this, but yesterday we sold our 1991 Twin Turbo Nissan 300ZX. We drove that car for 28 years with no front plate and no tickets. We drove a BMW 335i for 12 years with no front plate and no ticket. The buyer didn't care that we couldn't find...

We live in the same situation. New homes being built here have driveways too short to accommodate much of anything bigger than a Mini, and minimum size garages, so they are going to be left with a lot of on-street parking when these houses are occupied. Teslas are very popular here and 3s are...

It was happening to me every morning and after a wait of at least a minute with nothing happening, it took a reboot to bring up the dash and the screen. I was also often losing the back-up camera display. I seem to be behind the curve, because I haven't had an upgrade since 19.12.1.2, but...

I sure wish I had heard about using PPF before I put on those HOV stickers!

I live in CA as well, and when we picked up our MS it had a front plate bracket when I had specifically asked for no bracket. (My ID image was taken in Fremont when we picked up the car.) They said it was required. That bracket was on there to stay! The screws were proprietary and would not...

After reading these posts, I went out to look at the screen on our June 2018 S100D. Sure enough there is a faint yellow glow around the edge of the screen. I hope there will be a permanent solution on the horizon, soon.

Even if you go with another insurance program, you can still keep AAA road service and travel perks. That's what I do. I'm glad to read service from USAA has been good. We are insured with them.

I love both those pictures. My 17 year old grandson had an opportunity to drive a Model T just a couple of weeks ago. He was truly amazed at the engineering innovation in the car from that time.

You will get over it, Dan. Enjoy your car and don't spend time worrying about what COULD go wrong. I did that for awhile, then I found most of the answers right here in the posts.

This is a welcome thread! I've been a car buff since I was a kid. My first car was an old Hudson, which dates me a bit. Four years ago a neighbor had a visitor with a Tesla S and I went to look at it. He asked my if I'd like to drive it and I was totally hooked. Every time my husband asked...
