I just bought 1007719-00-A half shaft for my 2012 85 to fix a torn boot. It is the correct part for 2012, but it appears to be 1mm bigger in diameter than the 1007719-00-B version that was damaged(I only realized I had Rev B shaft after removing it). Am I missing something or is there...

https://www.carexpert.com.au/car-news/byds-yangwang-reveals-u9-electric-supercar Really, at this point, why bother with Roadster 20xx? It's almost comical.

I've read a bunch of things that were depicted in the initial reveal of the truck that have been since deleted, such as the built in bed ramps. Does that mean the ability to squat the rear is also gone?

Considering it's time to upgrade to the latest model. I love my RWD 85S, but thinking it might be time to trader her in. I drove a friends for a short trip, and was no overly impressed. I mean, YES, I was impressed, but I expected a little more. Aside from the loss of stalks etc.. I haven't...

Elon needs to round out Tesla's model line up the way any mega-genius with the maturity of a 6-year old would by introducing the following new models: Model 2 as a lower priced sibling to the 3 Model 4 as a step up from the 3 but just below the S Model U as a utility vehicle that is maybe a...

I saw this clickbait article A brother and sister had to stop 6 times in 1 day to charge their rented Tesla in cold weather because the battery drained so quickly and thought to myself that's about normal for a ~1400 mile drive...

2017 - Tesla deployed microgrids and solar panels and batteries to Puerto Rico to help them recover from a hurricane. 2022 - Hurricane Fiona strikes and Puerto Rico is without power again. What's the recoverability of the Tesla installed gear from 2017?

Not sure where to post this exactly. My 2012 S 85kw "A" pack was replaced with a "D" pack. Yay me! (Thanks Tesla!!) When I supercharge I never get close to 90Kw let alone 150 or 250 Kw. Did Tesla forget to flip a virtual dip switch? Is my 2012 too old to support higher charging despite the...

I feel for the Roadster reservation holders - will that car ever get built and delivered? Wonder if Cybertruck is in the same stuck loop.

I didn't know the ny times had a funnies section

Elon Musk puts Tesla Van on the EV automaker's to-do list

The new interior of the 2021 refresh MS has got me thinking. The stalks are gone completely and the steering wheel is not round. For a sedan, maybe those choices make fashion sense. For those of us who plan to use the CT as a work vehicle, I can foresee some issue with the deletion of stalks...

As far as I can tell, there is only one part# for MCU2 regardless if it is replacing MCU1 with or without UHFS. MCU1 drives(drove?) had an amp that drove the speakers directly for base audio, where MCU1 with UHFS was a different part number and drive the additional speakers with an external...

I just got the mildly dreadful "replace 12v battery soon" message. This will be my 2nd 12V battery in 8 years, so I'm not complaining as 4 years per battery seems a decent life expectancy all things considered, and the cost to replace is not _that_ bad. The message is slightly different this...

My Silver S is turned 7 last week. Last year, I bought a matching 3 - also silver. As a birthday present to my S, I gave it a good wash and wax. The cars are normally located in different locations, but I happened to have them in the same place and I parked it next to the 3 and I noticed that...

I am a 2 time victim of the center console screen bubble problem on my 2012 S. First time was fixed under warranty, but alas, I am now out of warranty. Thankfully, the bubbles this time are not so intrusive, centered around the top by the Tesla logo. I searched and could not find much aside...

I read that Elon was hot and heavy about updating the old 12V standard to 48V in the Model 3 prior to it's release, but got shot down because of the delay something like that would cause. I haven't heard anything about it since, but was wondering if he still wants to do it, and if it might end...

Taking Model 3 AWD LR on an overnight tip (staying in Badgastein) - leaving Monday at 09:30AM - and advice from locals?

Title says it all. Looking for parts - I need the MCU component only, not the LCD - but it must be Premium audio. Also do not need the Tegra daughterboard.

I applaud Tesla for releasing new safety features and pushing them to the fleet for free. For the most part I appreciate the features - I'll highlight two of them here that has me on the fence. 1. Lane departure avoidance (and associated lane keep features) 2. Anti-roll feature The first one...

TMC member EYSA has a real dilemma on his hands. See more here This must be the silliest reason to sell a Tesla Let's vote and help him decide! :)

Local pickup (NY Long Island). I have a spare set of Nokian 102R XL tires with less than 20 miles on them. They are mounted to Original Model S rims with working Gen1 TPMS sensors. The wheels are in decent condition, but certainly not pristine (See photos) with no major rim rash save for one...

I've noticed a litle rust on my 2012 battery pack a few years ago and mentioned it to the SC. "It's normal", they said "not a concern". Today I heard a flapping noise and looked under the card to see the glued-on black plastic was dangling off the sides of the battery- apparently the glue is...

Apparently, all of the rear bushings on my 2012 S85 are shot. Tesla's estimate is expensive - I give them credit that they labor hours and rates are accurate, but the replacement parts are costly- mainly because like most companies, they want to replace the entire assembly instead at $300 a...

I've always been weary of traveling "Too far" off the grid with my Model S. Now I can truly enjoy the great out doors without worry of running out of juice just by towing one of these bad boys to the campsite :) : Mobile solar generator 7.5 kw with 12 kw surge | eBay

I have a RWD MS85 - paid off. I love it. But I'd prefer it to be AWD. I happen to be the market for a lower-range RWD MS as a second car. I was thinking I could by a 60D and swap battery with my RWD85, effectively giving me an AWD 85D and a RWD 60. So, some questions: Does Tesla need to...

Replacing my front 6" speakers with 8" speakers - need plastic speaker mounts from a (doaner) vehicle that has 8" mounts (baffle).

Why Cant You Repair an iPhone? - Bloomberg View You could almost see them writing another article and just replacing the word "Apple" with "Tesla".

I'm posting to see how many Model S' are in and around the Arosa region. I saw two today (white S and Grey P85D), and thought it wonderful and odd at the same time to see Model S in Arosa! I thought to myself there must be a Tesla convention that I am missing out on!

I opened the door to grab the charge cable and almost got more than I bargained for. This reinforces my appreciation for Tesla's charger design.

I am a long-time hold out from the original S who's door handles ejected 100% and had no "give" or "flex" that emulates the feel of a traditional car. After a failure of one handle to present, I (reluctantly) agreed to have all 4 replaced with the new(er) gen 2 door handles that present to...

So, I missed the P85 by a few weeks, and in hindsight, was happy when I saw the P85+ with enhanced suspension. Now that the P85D is out, I want to know if it has the suspension enhancements that the the P85+ has, or will there be a P85D+ ??

With the full understanding of all the features that haven't even begun to be addressed (lighted visors, backup camera lines etc..), I thought of something that just hit me. Every day, literally, I do a "dance" when I return home for the night with my Tesla. I drive up the driveway and...

With all the new technical advancements and the like, I wonder if Tesla will finally take this opportunity to introduce TPMS that has actual pressures for each wheel, instead of "Low pressure, check (all your) tires". And that goes for other seemingly common things that lesser cars come...

While mounting my front licensplate (yuck!), I noticed my the cooling louvers in operation -cycling open and closed - are the left and right louvers supposed to operate independently, or at the same time?

Fog light adjustment (old version, not new)? Body shop did some work and replaced the front clip. I notice my fog lights are crosseyed - does anyone know how to adjust them? The headlights are easy to adjust, simple set screw - I don't see anything so "simple" for the fogs. FWIW, this the...

So I'm probably the LAST person here to find this out, but I drove over to Liberty Science Center in Jersey City, NJ yesterday and paid the $7 parking fee and what did I spy? Eight 30 Amp charging stations under a canopy with Solar panels on top! To top it off, it was free! Not a bad place to...

I need to drive from NYC to Woburn/Lexington Mass Next week and stay overnight and return the next day. I can make it from the CT Supercharger just fine, but cannot make it back to the SC the next day(It's about 150 miles to Woburn from Milford). I found One hotel in Lexington, but they are...

I have an early production line MS - Nov/12 manufacturing date. It's silver. I had some nice gaps on the front fenders that were easily rectified by adjusting the fender fastening bolts. However, the chrome strips under the doors really annoyed me from day one, so I got some matte black...

Hi, might be NY specific Question - has anyone received their GREEN EZ-Pass? When I say Green, I literally mean it is green in color and offers 10% discount in tolls. http://www.thruway.ny.gov/ezpass/greentag.html I submitted paperwork months ago and it seems there is no way to track progress...

Coming from a manual transmission to the Model S was less upsetting than I thought it would be. The strong re-gen made it feel like I was downshifting and I had control of the re-gen with just a slight adjustment forward or backward with just my right foot. Having the vehicle for a while, I've...

Every now and again, I look in my rear view at night and all i can see is headlights - I wish I could easily disable the auto dimming at will - mainly to tell if "five-oh" is tailgating me. Maybe I missed it in the "manual". Is it just me?

I'm curious if we are all getting a fill charge. I charge daily - non range mode - at about 20 Amps, and my range at the completion of charge is always 230 miles. At one point, I saw 240, but I think that was an anomaly. (fw 4.1 - currently at 4.2) What "Completed" charge range do others see?
