A quick update. Tesla replaced the charger, good as new.

Rare post for us since the car has been quite exceptional. As we're between homes for a few weeks we've had to use other means than our old homes 240V 40A service. But having now tried 4 120v outlets w/o using an extension cord and a Chargepoint station the car gives us a warning triangle...

OEM 19" double spoke wheels and tires These OEM silver 19" wheels with stock tires were taken off and replace with OEM 21" wheels before the car was delivered to us. They have only whatever miles Tesla put on them, so just a handful. They've been in dark storage since. Local pick up or I...

If anyone needs a charge we have a 40A your free to use. Central Austin, Camp Mabry, 35th St. area. email shooey at austin dot rr.com

Can't go wrong with Uchi, also close in are La Condesa, Clarks, La Traviata, Lamberts, Wink if you want locally owned. Little further out on S. Congress Sway, Perlas, Vespaio and others. Uchiko's primary investor drives an MS, they definitely get parked up front.

I used to have a set of Jackpoints but for other cars. They work great and are a good solution to cars with limited jack points that have to be shared with a stand. They're very heavy duty.

Our car arrived the last week of July, two weeks earlier than scheduled. They did want us to pick it up and take delivery asap, we didn't have financing and charging completed but the car was ready.

Has anyone tried sticking a lining to the inside of the handle yet? A high temp silicone tape had got to be better than opening your Tesla with an oven mitt. Wow, grabbing the handle today after it had been in direct sunlight for three hours was a real eye opener.

This is our front to rear door alignment issue, service did their best to adjust but it went back to it's original misaligned state within a few days. It's not just the chrome trim, it's the door.

So all is well. Tesla replaced two of the three coolant pumps in the car, both failed essentially simultaneously which caused them concern about it being a batch failure or an upstream issue that killed the pumps. Both were looked into and CA released the car after reviewing the car's logs to...

viperboy, the car had 26 delivery miles, right in line with your information. Tesla picked it up this morning and left my wife a loaner MS. I imagine I'll hear from them this afternoon, initial report is the inverter cooling failure and shut the car down, but the car is also getting a false...

Thanks Bonnie, I get it. FWIW, Tesla staff has been great, they were on the phone with my wife the entire time...that much was very appreciated.

Tough crowd. P16490, Grey 85, pic of car AND family...delivery on Saturday, next time I'll have my son hold up a New York Times. Does anyone have information on inverter cooling failures?

P164XX. Look up my user name on Rennlist, 6Speed, NASA/PCA club racing, or any of the BMW/Ford Truck forums or just PM me when your in Austin, I'll show you my dead Model S. I'm just a guy who bought my wife the car we wanted, nothing more nothing less. I know a lot of people have stock, but...

Appreciate the support all. I'll wait to hear from Tesla tomorrow. Pulling the entire drivetrain that failed in new car less than 24 hours from delivery is not what I was expecting for my first service experience with Tesla. Yes, deliveries happen at the service center on Burnet Road in...
