    MCU failure

    Apologies for the long post but I I wanted to share my recent experience with Tesla and the Dallas Service Center. First I understand that there is and inherent risk buying a used car and that was my decision. I own that and much of my post is based out of pure frustration and disappointment...

    Rusty Hubs

    Just picked up a 2013 p85 w/27k miles. The car is mint and drives great. Prepping to paint calipers and noticed rust around the hub. Going to clean up and paint with hi-temp paint but curious if anyone else experience this?
