I have a June '17 Model S. It's supposed to have lifetime premium connectivity. Normally the car is automatically logged into Tesla's default TuneIn account. However, recently it's no longer logged in. I can no longer access channels such as CNN. Does the default account expire? I understand...

I just spoke to Tesla insurance. They said if I don't add my wife to the policy, they may not honor a claim if she drives the car and gets into an accident. However, they can't tell me how the rate would be impacted when a second person is added to the policy. In other words, there's no way to...

Does anyone know what happens if you have two Teslas in the family, and you need coverage for both you and your spouse? I only have 1 Tesla account, and the insurance page only provides quotes based on the person on the account. I read about the part that you can call them afterwards to add the...

I run a Toyota themed business, and I keep this tool in each of my Teslas: https://www.cityracerllc.com/products/oem-toyota-rescueman-tool One end acts as a hammer to help you break the glass. The other hand let's you cut the seat belt if necessary. It's extremely compact at less than 8 inches...

Has anyone bought either Model S or Model X wheels from them? Comparing their wheel specs against T Sportline, their wheels are non-staggered and closer to stock width.

I think you need to tell them the honest truth that burning coal is not a pro, just as smoking cigarettes is not a pro.

My experience is that "rich jerks" types are more apparent in the Porsche forums. Owners are typically not the hands-on types. Many come to the forums to pose problems, and many of the problems are quite common. Yet, it's often the case that no solution is ever posted, because people just sent...

Congrats. Your car can probably be turned into Ludicrous with a software update, so they preemptively put the underline there.

I'm one who's not taken by the Taycan, for a ton of reasons. 1) I've been a Porsche owner for the past 13 years, and have gone from infatuation to detesting the brand. Their product has so many problems compared to just about any other car I've owned. In terms of service, their business model...

That's fantasy. Plenty of 2017 Model S on the market for $50K.

I saw one for the first time yesterday. Looks like an earlier generation Chevy Volt in person. It’s got to be a tough sell at $90k.

What do people mean by Sentry Model "does not work"? I believe it does provide the alarm function on AP2.0 cars, and I expect an alert to be sent to the phone in the event of a break-in. It's true that the video function is not supported; however, if you have an IRO dashcam installed in the car...

My S75 RWD does not have any shudder when floored, but my X75D has the shudder. As a result, the dual motor car can't really achieve its full potential despite having faster 0-60mph time than the RWD car.

Now the 75D guys can legitimately wear a Dual Motor badge.

I love the look of the turbine wheels, but I want to keep my stock 19" size. I see a few aftermarket vendors offer this style of wheel, but it always comes in grey or black. Has anyone been able to find these in silver? This is for a 2017 Model S.
