    locked out??!!!

    Just parked my Tesla model S in my garage and left the key on the front passenger seat by accident. Just as the handles were closing, I remembered the key and reached for the handle. Too late! Thought "oh, thats ok. I'll just push the handle and open the door". No. The car apparently did...

    Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

    Just had the ranger come and fix my rear non-working handle. He just replaced the pressure sensor. Said that it is unfortunately rather common. I asked him about the new handles that have more movement, and he said that he is 90% sure that it will be a software update. He stated that all the...

    No, the handle does not light up. So I guess I have to take it in to have them replace it… Is this a common problem?

    Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

    I was looking through the thread and didn't see much on the doors… I have a problem with my right rear passenger door. The handle comes out normally along with all the others, but I cannot open the door using it. If I open the door from the inside, it works fine. But it won't open from the...

    HPWC charging at 40 amps - (Resolved)

    Thanks MitchL, Banahogg and Clmazin! I was ignorant enough to think my electrician would read directions… I had unrealistically left the work up to the guy who charged me $2500 to run the line and install the charger… He had not read or tested. I took it apart, read the directions, and now it...

    HPWC charging at 40 amps - (Resolved)

    Never quite understood the twin charger thing, but yes I did buy that option. So - that said - I'll give them a call in the morning… Although I have successfully used the superchargers...

    HPWC charging at 40 amps - (Resolved)

    Firmware 4.3 - basic charging scheduling

    4.3 update!! Just got the latest update… we now have the ability to choose the time of charging! It is also connected to the GPS so it is location dependent! That was THE BIG update for 4.3. Nothing much else… but something we have all been waiting for...

    A "scary" trip from Davis CA to Los Angeles...

    I deserve to feel stupid. hahaha. Regarding bringing the UMC charger, I decided when I first got the car that I would always bring my cable and all the attachments on all road trips… just in case.
