I haven't been but Formula Automotive in Burbank say the specialise in Tesla work. I didn't see any Teslas in the shop when I drove past though. They quote about $200 too. If SC is only $75 more.. maybe I should go for that for peace of mind.

I suddenly started to get quite strong vibration in both seat, body and steering wheel. Initial6i noticed at freeway speeds and thought it was just bad la.road surgac8 but then also I noticed it at very low speeds on smooth roads. Tesla SC quoted $680 unless it's covered by warranty. If it's...

I replaced my 1967 Buick skylark convertible with one of the first M3 RWD.. That was quite the change for sure!

me too. It just kept breaking. They replaced it once under warranty. I got a new M3 and it almost immediately broke. THe weird thing is the drivers side has never broken even though I use that far more. Either my wife has the hands of the incredible hulk.. or there's a design issue

One thing to note. Even if you do reset everything to delete your information.. don't be surprised if you get an email later on from a new buyer. My car was totalled and bought at auction by a possibly rather optimistic young man that hoped to get it back on the road, though he knew very little...

Over 80,000 miles, I spent maybe $1500 on electricity.. not bad! It was nice doing some long road trips (1000+ miles) and never worrying about the cost, driving around SoCal just burning the miles for free. It was certainly a nice perk. Mine was given in compensation for trouble I had with the...

Very happy with the 2021. It has many of the good updates and none of the bad ones. It doesn't have faster media computer or new 12v battery but that's ok. It's tinted storm trooper white and white which looks great. Only issue is the cops pulled me over the other day for an illegal u turn. I...

The free supercharging for life was a somewhat unique perk. I don't know anyone that ever had that on a model 3. That said, I used to mostly charge at home both for convenience and to preserve the battery life. Sadly I totalled that car and so am now paying like everyone else. Interestingly my...

I had free supercharging in my previous Tesla and so only no have had to pay for the electrons. Prior to this I really had no clue about the costs of supercharging. I saw many complex breakdowns accounting for all kinds of details, I knew it was cheaper than gas (in SoCal) but not really sure...

You should have no problem driving the car as long as the seller gives you a key. If the seller is a private seller than just make sure they do the transfer right there and then. If it's a dealer and they have no idea what they are doing, it could be a bit more of a problem. Tesla took 5 full...

I took my car from LA to Mendocino county on the coast. Once you get up on the PCH up there, it's a charging desert. I had to drive over a mountain range to t he next valley to a super charger. I was extremely nervous as I was cutting it fine, especially considering the mountains. I took it...

Thanks.. I actually ended up picking up a 2021 from an Audi dealer.

oh, that's good to know.. I am glad that nobody got billed then. That said, I wonder who got billed for the premium connectivity. I just slid the "subscribe for a year" button to see what happened and I then got the connectivity. Maybe it just activated a 30 day trial

I think my situation was different. I already had a tesla account from a previous car but the Audi dealer knew nothing about Tesla, Tesla app, transferring ownership etc. I have no idea whose account the car was linked to or who got charged for my supercharging session but unless the dealer...

Well the update is. I went to supercharger to see what happened and it charged! I took it to the max and it worked.. I guess someone got alerted on an app because immediately after I got a message saying supercharging was disabled. No idea whose responsibility it is to disconnect everything and...
