If you park with sentry mode on, you will get an alert on your phone if someone breaks the window, not sure if you can set your horn to turn on if there is an issue.

jcanoe, good advice. If you have to move things around into the rear bin, do this before stopping and parking so people do not see what is being stored in the car. Make sure nothing is left in the rear seats, floor and in the open trunk space. this is good practice for parking in any large city

$107.00, tire rotation is free since both front and back in the air at one time

I had the Tesla mobile service do the brake service, they just cleaned and lube the bolt and re-assembled. done in less than an hour in the driveway.

The last set of refills were good, more than a year. It got ripped during a freezing spell, turned on the wipers and the center section tore from the base. Simple enough to get a new set on. Still have 8 more pairs left.

From the last photo where you rubbed the damage, does not seem to bad. its not in an area that will be notice. I have used Quixx on this type of scratch and usually does a good job. may need some touch up paint to finish the job. Unless you have some damage to sensors, this may be enough...

this would be the same process that Safelite uses to replace windshields, one technician and some jigs to position and replace the windshield, I have had this done in the parking lot at work (not the tesla), as long as Tesla stands behind the work, should be OK

Good use of mayonnaise !! for spacers, you can also use the things for cabinet corners, or even felt pads, all from HD or Lowes

All due to battery behavior in the cold, lower air pressure in tires from cold temps, using the heater while driving. Also while parked, system will use the heat pump to keep to keep the battery warm. I lost 10 miles just over night in 5 degF temps. Overall during winter the car will be off...

Yes, have done it twice already, cheap enough to do this yearly

Here is a set of instructions that I made up to make your own refills, https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/7039474/ You can use these refills to start: (less than $4.00 for a pair of refills) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B4S7VF3H/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

The premium connection provides: - real time traffic in maps - watch streaming while charging should not loose navigation or charging ability. in US it is $100 per year if you pay it by the year or $10 per month if you go monthly. I am not sure about the comments of 8 years. I have a 2021 and...

If they have a 'padded' lift, it should be OK. When the mobile service came to do the brake service, he had a sheet of silicone rubber glued to the top of a floor jack, probably 5mm thick and worked fine. As long as there is no metal to metal contact from the jack to car at the right positions...

I had the same problem with intermittent sticking, looked at the same things like struts, alignment etc. Finally looked at the seals, went and put a thin film of silicone grease that I had from many years ago, used it on door seals on my other vehicles. Had not had a sticking incident for more...

l see your concern of mechanics just lifting cars without pucks, I keep a set of pucks (from amazon) in the storage bin and give to the tires guys to use when neede. Most of larger places like Discount Tires know this and have them on hand.
