I don't need a track worthy component that costs almost 10X what an OEM one costs on my daily driver. Track car? Absolutely, but this isn't a track car.

Okay, so my first squeaking control arm issue was just outside of warranty. Before the local service center opened, Tesla was going to repair this via Goodwill, since there was a known issue, and I was so close to the warranty period. Couldn't spend a whole day going donw there, and the local...

I took off my UP springs and put the factory ones back on, as my son is now getting more into mountain biking, ad I need the ground clearance. Unfortunately, my spring compressor broke in the process (my fault, impact galled threads). Had one spring 180 degrees off, and managed to rotate it...

FWIW, if anyone else comes across this in a search, same thing happened to me today. In my case, on of the retaining tabs came loose and the tire chaffed through it. May have been from putting springs on it once, and replacing the control arm a different time. Tesla suggested I tow it there...

.....And......too soon. Back to not working. Grr.......

Okay, so several days ago, it got so my phone wouldn't work at all. And I've tried the completely remove phone, reboot car, all that stuff. Made it better for a day, but went right back to not working. It was so bad over the past week that my normal wallet keycard ALSO wouldn't word. Had to...

Just about the exact same thing, here. I noticed it was picking up 67Queen's iphone before mine before it started not seeing my Samsung. Still does that, it sees her phone, but doesn't mine. Thanks for posting this, I was starting to think it was my phone, not the car. Apparently not. And...

I've been having this problem for the past few weeks. And it has gotten HORRENDOUS. I'm like rhaining above with my frustration level. This is NOT an iPhone issue, I have a Samsung (S22+). It seemed to help when I updated the app. For a day. Now it is back to same old same old. It is like...

Man, that sucks. Sorry to read that. I have a Performance as well, and I can tell you I don't see anywhere near the kind of efficiency that some folks here with non-P's are posting. Lifetime for me is 309w-hr/mi, and that is with 87,000 miles. It is a good 20% worse in the cold, and...

When I bought them, the "Super Performance" was the only option they offered for the Performance.

Got a notification December 31. Had actually set up a service request a few weeks prior. COuld get me in in a few days, cost was $281. So I denied it, and planned ot look into it myself before ponying up the money. Then the recall happened. Of course, since then, they don't have parts...

I went with the Unplugged Performance. As things have settled, the car sits lower than I expected, the caveat being I didn't measure it. Unfortunately, I now have a lot of issues with clearances, and I managed to destroy the plastic rocker extension coming out of a parking garage the other...

No, the engines were removed and replaced with new ones. Many of the old ones are sitting at the PEC in Atlanta (where my father-in-law works, which is how I know about it), awaiting disposition. They may be scrapped, they aren't sure, yet what they'll do. It isn't legal, anyway, to rebuild a...

Porsche actually replaced the whole engine. And yeah, there were issues with all teh diesels after the 7.3! Did you ever see the 3 valve spark plugs? Went what, 5 years before a fix in 2009? Don't disagree with you, just trying to give insight into the customer's perspective.

Can't find anything wrong with what you say, and my first job at Ford in Dearborn (engineering) was dealing with Re-Aquired Vehicles. So a little familiar with the process. But some recalls are emissions, rather than safety related, and some are voluntary from OEM's for other reasons. One...
