    Raleigh NC SC is terrible

    Back when they were located on Westgate, they were understaffed and under-resourced but they did their best. Since moving to Glenwood, they simply don't care about servicing the cars. Tesla exists to sell new cars. They should be ashamed to call themselves 'service' centers.

    Service put unrequested Pilot Super Sports (PSS) on my car (in December) but won't take them back.

    Short version: My left headlamp went glitchy (only works consistently in the daytime) and both rear handles failed within a week. I scheduled service and told Tesla my front suspension was making noise when vehicle weight shifts. While I waited two weeks for service, I schedule the replacement...

    Quality of loaner cars

    But Tesla won't do better because they don't care about customers that OWN cars. They only care about customers buying a new one. I like to say Tesla is one of the best technology companies in America but definitely the worst car company in America. If I had a Maserati or Range Rover, I expect...

    Model S vs Audi TDIs vs 535d - looong commute

    Congratulations on your Model S future. I commute 110 miles roundtrip and my first ignorant winter in temperate NC/VA included more than one limp home with the heat off due to poor planning . . . and I bet it is REALLY cold in CT. IMO you have at least one criterion that cannot be compromised ...

    It's too late, my MCU1 Died....

    I drove the 2hrs to Hickory last Wednesday. Jason replaced the board/memory and out the door good as new after 2hrs and $587.43. His shop is awesome and he's a good guy so if you have Tesla issues give them a holler. 057 Technology He has a ridiculous Frankenstein in his shop. I won't steal his...

    It's too late, my MCU1 Died....

    Absolutely. Which suggests Tesla really has a problem that should be easy to solve if they cared. The Tesla app has sucked for me much of the past year. But since my MCU (display/functions) went out on Friday, it is downright snappy. The app has NEVER worked this well. Then again the MCU won't...

    It's too late, my MCU1 Died....

    I'm a Tesla fan so I just want it fixed. And technically Tesla can still make the argument that since we are 'supposed' to keep our hands on the wheel and be prepared to take over at any moment . . . it isn't a safety issue. This is off-topic but I LOVED my SP85D when I didn't understand...

    It's too late, my MCU1 Died....

    Temperature was a factor for my car. My 2014 P85DL started acting up summer 2018. Weekly loading errors for streaming audio, intermittent (non-patterned) GPS failure unrelated to 3G connection status, slow downloads of updates, and inconsistent app connection. It appeared to be fine in Fall...
