My 2013 Model S with air suspension is now "retired" to part-time duty in Florida. Which means it can sit in the garage for more than a month...plugged in of course. But every time I return to it after such a period, the suspension has fallen to the lowest position. It does re-inflate once the...

It's been diagnosed as an overheating computer when supercharging. Remedy is to replace the computer, which they will do shortly.

I have the same problem! New in December LR Model S. It's now in for service for the third time. First in CT, now in FL. Both times they updated firmware, and then tested at nearby supercharger. But my problems typically crop up after a longer drive. Let me know if your problem was resolved.

I have the same trouble on new LR MS. It's now in for service for the third time. First two times (once in CT and once in FL), they updated firmware, and then tested by charging at nearest supercharger. But the problem typically appears after a longer drive. And as you said, it can always be...

Get a Model S now—the best you can afford. I've been driving my 2013 model S (rear-wheel drive only) all around New England year-round and can say that the sheer joy of the smooth quiet powerful ride far outweighs the ICE experience of even the best trouble-free Audi (which you have to stop and...

I'm driving down from New England to drop people off for a long international flight and would like to park my Model S and charge here while taking them into the terminal. Is that possible? Airport shuttle, taxi, Uber?

I was in the group of nearly 30 Teslas that went up (and down) in the summer of 2015. You can figure 100 rated miles from Lincoln to the cog railway and then to the bottom of the auto road. Then 40 more miles up (which took us less than half an hour staying under 20 MPH), with some of that...

My 3-year-old Model S 85 has rear-wheel drive and I've done well in Boston and ski country with Michelin X-Ice Green tires. The car's traction control technology is superior to that of any ICE vehicle, which does help on the go side, but when it comes to stopping, tire traction is the biggest...

Taking the ferry to Monhegan? You can leave your Tesla parked at the Monhegan Boat dock in Port Clyde and plugged in to the 110V outlet. I worked it out with Dave and paid $25 to leave my Model S there for two nights. Consistently gained 4 MPH.
