    Cracked forelink?

    Sorry for the late reply. Tesla would not cover it. They said it's not part of the affected VIN, and my vehicle is out of warranty. Here is a photo, it clearly broke pretty good.

    Cracked forelink?

    Never driven there. I found SB-17-31-001 (I think this is the relevant bulletin?) and I just sent a message to my service advisor to see if I am eligible. The cut off was May 2006, and I think mine may have been built in June, so we'll see.

    Cracked forelink?

    2016 Model S 55k miles. Heard a creaking noise front drivers side wheel. Yesterday it was creaking really bad, so I took it in. They are replacing Fore Link Assembly for both front wheels. $1200. Not aware of hitting a pot hole or anything. I'm glad nothing broke while my wife or kids were in...

    Unintended Acceleration?

    Yeah I've had the cruise control situation happen a bunch of times. But I didn't have it enabled. I've seen all those stories but that's not what I claimed.

    Unintended Acceleration?

    This is what I think happened. It's the only logical explanation since even though it felt like the car accelerated, I don't see how that's possible.

    Unintended Acceleration?

    It wasn't that cold this morning. I don't recall seeing the dashes turn on, and every other time I took my foot off the accelerator the car slowed down. Maybe I will contact Tesla but I don't think anything will come of it anyway.

    Crap..... got backed into.... help please

    Why would an insurance company file a report that they will potentially have to pay out more money for? That seems counter productive.

    Crap..... got backed into.... help please

    I was told a report has to be sent into the DMV for it to show up on a carfax report, and a bumper replacement probably wouldn't be enough. I was paid out for a minor accident a few months ago and researched it, but the feedback I got was there was probably no need to file a diminished value...

    Unintended Acceleration?

    This morning I was preparing to make a right turn. As I approached I took my foot off the brake as usual to slow down before I took the turn. The car seemed accelerated briefly before I stepped on the brake pedal. I did not have any driver assist features on. The roads were wet so the only...

    Close Encounter of the Wallaby Kind

    I was just down under last week and barely saw a Wallaby at the zoo so that is pretty cool. Got to pet some Koalas and Kangaroos as well it was awesome!

    I think my odometer rolled back yesterday. I was at 5999, and I looked today and I was at 5970. I thought maybe I was crazy, but I saw a note on Teslafi saying the data was bad the last couple days, so wondering if this had something to do with it. Anyone else notice this?
