    Pre-Refresh Model S/X - Sentry Mode Live

    I am on Twitter and nothing was said about the live sentry coming eventually. But also nothing was ever said about it NOT coming for every recent model.

    Pre-Refresh Model S/X - Sentry Mode Live

    You’d think someone would have reported it if it is eventually coming to us legacy cars. It sounds like a done deal that we have outlived our usefulness. Why not offer it as an option for a price?

    Pre-Refresh Model S/X - Sentry Mode Live

    I have a 2020 Raven Model S long range plus, built in November 2019, and my car is already considered “legacy.” I don’t care about games and the light show but I would really like the live sentry mode and the blind spot camera. This is my 3rd Tesla since 2016 and I feel like I have been...

    Does your Model S scrape on speed bumps?

    This was totally my fault about my 2020 S scraping that speed bump. When I later checked my Suspension settings, I realized that I had selected the ride height to always be on Low. So I removed the default to always Low and changed it to something else. I just drove over that same speed bump...

    Does your Model S scrape on speed bumps?

    My 2020 (November 2019 build) Model S scraped badly yesterday on a speed bump I have gone over many times in a 2016 Model S and in this same car before the suspension update. I was going very slowly. The recommended Low position for the suspension is too low for at least one speed bump so I will...

    Seniors wishing the glovebox had a physical button to open

    The Model S and X Have glove box buttons. But I echo another person’s advice to try using voice commands for opening the glove box and many other things.

    I’ve never cried over a car until today...

    So sorry about this. I would have cried too. I didn’t see mention of Sentry Mode. Maybe I missed that.

    Tesla will not honor trade-in amount

    I just wanted to follow up with the happy news that Tesla is making a good faith effort to do the right thing for me in my particular situation. I have had an excellent relationship with Tesla for many years and am so relieved that they will once again be making this one little customer very...

    Tesla will not honor trade-in amount

    WARNING! Be aware that Tesla may not honor your trade-in quote on the day of delivery. I am very sorry to report that this is happening to me. I received a written trade-in quote for my Model 3 on October 2nd and thus ordered a new Model S (LR, nothing extra) on October 5th. I was told that the...

    Tesla moments

    I keep my suitcases in the frunk of my 2016 S during road trips. One night we stopped at a motel that had a glassed-in office right by the parking lot. After checking in, I went back to the car and opened the frunk and was taking my suitcases out when the woman in the motel office came flying...

    Help, One Electrician Wanted To Charge $1500

    I had a similar situation and yes it is expensive if your power box is not close to your garage. In my case, the electrician would have had to either go up and over my flat roof to reach the box, or dig a trench across my front lawn for which I'd need a permit from the City. It would have been...

    Clean your solar panels!

    I pay a local solar panel cleaning company to come inspect and clean my panels every 3 months. The price is very reasonable and well worth it for what is maybe my biggest investment other than my house and Tesla. Plus I'm a senior and there's no way I'm climbing up on my roof.

    Tesla Sentry Mode in Action

    The cameras in the side pillars weren't added until October of 2016. That's why you see the price of Model S much higher after that time.
