Hey folks, I added a 2018 Model X 75D to the household yesterday... was wondering if it's possible to have suspension setting automatically set to low when parked but revert back to automatically adapting as I'm moving and at speed? Thanks!

Soooo... I don't mean to beat this dead horse, but I just noticed an option to add coverage for "additional" custom parts provided by the vehicle manufacturer, this is with Progressive, You think we can get away with claiming a new battery was a custom part... I mean they reference a hydralic...

Yeah, unfortunately I can't do the whole parting out and selling type thing. That's a major time and energy sink that I really can't afford. On that note, does Tesla buy back cars with dead batteries as salvage? Or is that a hard no? I get the sense that the smartest thing to do right now is...

Why wouldn't agreed value insurance factor in parts you bought for the car too like a battery pack to improve the car? Progressive let's you insure aftermarket modifications... would a new battery pack be considered a modification? Lol

So my preference is to keep the car for as long as I can... I don't necessarily care to have the latest.... but thankfully the funds are there if I do need to buy a new car.... At the same time $13k could be a nice down payment on said new car... I understand that statistically speaking a...

That is a good point and sort of conundrum I was discussing last night... Right now I am gauranteed $13k from Carmax (or maybe a bit more from another dealer) - that I can apply to a new car.... do I just take that and go trade in (I'd really rather not)... or do I try to see if the car will...

Agreed - and that is a fair comment... but does insurance factor in the battery replacement? Whether it's for similar cars or my car? Say in scenario 1 there are 200 2013 Teslas in the area with original batteries. And in scenario 2 there are 2002013 Teslas in the area with brand new...

So I have an interesting question... I have a 2013 Model S 85, with 63,000 miles... it's on the original battery and original motor. Overall it's doing great - upgraded the infotainment, Battery degredation seems to be about 4% or so... The car was purchased brand new and has been in my...

I did buy the decals separately and the shop put them on. Bought the decals on ebay from this seller - they're still looking great: 12pc TESLA Brake Caliper Set Vinyl Sticker Decal Logo Overlay Graphic | eBay I have no idea if they clear coated them after they were installed. But they look...

How long has it been sitting? If it helps at all - In 2017 I took my father's 2013 Model S 85 after he passed, the car had only been driven on average 2,000 miles a year (had 8,000 miles total since purchase 4 years prior). Ran fine... but I did have to replace the 12v battery. I took it on a...

2013 Model S 85. Still on the original drive unit. But mine only has 36,000 miles.

That was me yesterday - damn near gave me a heart attack lol

Hey folks quick question. I MIGHT have a nail in my tire, although I still can't see it yet, but I'm gradually losing air and keep having to top off every couple of days. Took my car to a tire shop nearby and they told me that the contisport are self sealing tires and cannot be patched. He was...

I bought my new OEM spoiler on Ebay for about 600 as well. Looks just like yours :-D

The motor and battery should still be under warranty.... 8 year or unlimited miles. Everything else is out of warranty. I have a 2013 S 85 with no warranty (except the motor and battery) so far everything has been good. Some minor issues that are common with Tesla. Door handles mostly.
