    Supercharger - Lake Charles, LA - Ave L'Auberge

    I think it would make more sense if they offered destination charging vs supercharging. Especially with Superchargers right in the same area.

    Plaid Sport Bucket Seats

    The longer I want to make my purchase, the better the Model S Plaid is getting. Just imagine what another 2 years will do.

    Supercharger - Houston, TX - Washington Avenue

    Yes, sometimes that is the case. I remember a few years ago that the Birmingham Alabama supercharger was paid parking. There if I remember correctly the local restaurants would validate your parking pass. This was also the case at Chattanooga TN charger but the booth attendant knew you was...

    Painted Brake Calipers Voids Warranty

    As it was mentioned by DomDeWild , this is a good thread to follow. In most examples though, the brake system is a wearable item and usually not covered by any warranty.

    Supercharger - Baytown, TX - N Hwy 146

    If it's anything like the recently installed GM (EVgo) chargers near 646 and 45 (HEB), I don't think they will get much use at that price.

    Cost of full paint job in 2024?

    Oh but do you remember Earl Scheib? I just remember they were more shady than Maaco.

    Painted Brake Calipers Voids Warranty

    It doesn't sound as if it's a caliper although I have heard of this before. Apparently the paint can increase the temperature of the braking system by not allowing the caliper to dissipate the heat as designed. As mention, get a second opinion from a different service center. BTW, what is their...

    3.5 year MYLR update 179.7k miles

    FYI, you can always use schedule charging so your car will be ready at the time you depart. The wording is a little misleading but you select Schedule under the app, select Off-Peak Charge, Set Departure time to when you want the car to be charged to your set SOC. The car will calculate when it...

    There's an ole saying. "Better get Maaco." Oh, and if someone needs the link.

    Tesla now offering extended service agreements for certain vehicles

    When we had our 2018 model X, I purchased the 4 yr / 50K extended warranty. I can't remember the price but the peace of mind for the wife was worth it. Now, is just 2 years 25,000 miles ext warranty worth it? You're basically paying 13 cents a mile to have peace of mind. I think it's interesting...

    Deciding Between older Model S or Newer Model 3

    How much do you really think you're going to be supercharging the vehicle? I will say when charging from home, the Model 3 will be cheaper to operate. They are two completely different cars. I would test drive if you are not far from a service center. Also as what was already said, the Model Y...

    Vendor The Upgrade Every Tesla-Driving Parent Needs to Discover

    I would think with today's prices, the Happy Meal may cost more than the tray.

    The Red Rocket has landed…..

    Congratulations. From the Falcon wing doors to the windshield back to the 3rd row seating, the Model X is just in a class of it's own. Get a few miles on it and you will enjoy the auto drive feature and not look back. The turn signals are easy for us as well. I switch back between driving my...

    Supercharger - Baytown, TX - N Hwy 146

    This needs to come quick. I have a nice commute up that way soon and it would be a great bail out.

    Ford says owners can start using superchargers today (Feb 29)

    Can you say cash cow? Now let's get this stock moving 🆙... I know I know there wont' be any profit. It will just be perpetual with Tesla building more and more chargers.
