I'm selling a set of 19" Slipstreams I used during the winters on my 2016 Model S that have been sitting in my garage collecting dust for the last year. Tires are at the wear bars, so priced based on the wheels, TPMS, and I'll throw in the bags and maybe the lug nut covers if I can find them...

I've had trouble the last couple of times I was down there too, but I just figured it was me. Will have to see if I can find a number on the machine next time I'm down there to call and let them know its busted.

I wouldn't be worried about getting towed as much as the meter reader writing you a ticket for not paying.

A trade-in is never going to be the best offer you can get just due to the nature of the transaction. They need to get it low enough to make some profit when they resell it. If you're willing to go through the process a private sale will get you closer to what you've got into it, but you're...

That would be an interesting development. Do you have channel art/logos? Or just the boring squares with the station names? I'm sure it's technically possible to emulate all the SXM bits and do it all over LTE rather than via SAT, but that sounds like a lot of work. Why not just create an...

I'd say check out the car, see what you think, and go from there. Wouldn't hurt to see if they can provide you more information about the process, so you've got some idea what it is. Doubt its a new clear coat, that would be a lot of cost for a dealership to not pass along.

In the same boat with my S, not sure I’d be terribly worried about it just yet. Planning on giving it a couple more weeks before I get in touch with service.

At this point I'm not sure there is an easy way for Tesla to quickly generate cash. If demand really is greater than supply they need to increase supply. They could also increase prices of the 3 which would strip away some demand, but increase margins. The question I have is what happened to...

They're not trying to pull anything, they're trying to get you to buy a car they have on hand so that they can add another car to their numbers for this quarter. Quarter ends this weekend. They get lots of things wrong, engineering and tech talent doesn't translate to the nuts and bolts of...

Tesla Model 3 Seat Upgrade Interior Kit - Insignia Design - Perforated

Salvage with a failed drive unit, sure hope whoever bought it knew what they were getting into. Decent looking car though, if you could replace the drive unit for cheap.

Not mandatory at all. If you have the disposable income for it I'd think about getting the front bumper done. I have an S that I should have gotten done the same day I picked it up. The rock chips never seem to end. At this rate I'll get it painted next spring and get the ppf installed 91...

Service most certainly is a commercial necessity. Doesn't matter how many cars you make, if owners can't get them serviced there is going to be a limited number willing to purchase. It is inevitable that a car will break down and it sure isn't disposable, so you need someplace for your...

I am an owner. I've dealt with the same sort of issues. The cars are second to none, more fun to drive than almost anything with 4 wheels. The "dealership" side of things is where Tesla has much room to improve.
