    Anyone got SunPass working yet? (Florida)

    With my 2015 P85D, the sunpass portable did not work anywhere around the rear view mirror. The only thing that worked for me was moving it to the back window. That works okay for toll booths, but rolling through tolls at speed on the Sawgrass exits gets me a image-toll-by-plate entry in my...

    OBD port and accessories PSA

    Do we know if this is only for always-on power provided by the OBD II port, or is it any device drawing always-on 12V power (dashcam wired through the unused cable behind the speaker grill)?

    NEMA 14-50 quotes

    My quotes were $2900 and $3100 for a 150ft run from the panel through the attic to the garage on the other side of the house for a 14-50 NEMA. For now I'm going with the 5-20 connector that's already in that garage... It's slow and I keep debating whether or not to try to run that heavy cable...

    Tesla Certified paint shop not being used by SC.

    Well, in my case, while I was surprised they used a non-Tesla certified shop, I'll give my service advisor a chance to resolve it before I'd resort to tweeting the Elon. :) Frankly though, I'm not looking forward to giving up my car for another week (or longer) for another paint job...

    Tesla Certified paint shop not being used by SC.

    Yeah. I don't want to drive the car until this is resolved in case it gets any chips or anything before I can get a film on the hood. But I don't have a 2nd car anymore to let me buy the P85D. LOL

    Tesla Certified paint shop not being used by SC.

    They look like wiping scratches mostly. If they won't detail it, I think my detailer can probably buff them out. But the one 1/2 inch long scratch that catches a nail, not sure about that one...

    Tesla Certified paint shop not being used by SC.

    Well, I wrote my service advisor today (I picked the car up Wednesday, just washed it today) and sent him a pic and some videos showing the light scratches. He'll review it with his manager on Monday and get back to me. When I picked up the car on Wednesday, they told me they hadn't washed...

    Tesla Certified paint shop not being used by SC.

    I just had my P85D in for a hood repaint (owed from my CPO pickup) and they also used a non-Tesla certified paint shop that was close to the SC. I wasn't very pleased with the paintjob. It looked better, but I can see imperfections in the paint and it had a small scratch (though I can't be...

    CPOs before the BIG change

    Hah, yes, I know! I guess I'm glad I bought it when I did... Though I'm wondering how much the new non-refurbished CPO's will encourage more third party sales/dealers over Tesla. The CPO warranty is nice and was a major factor in my decision to pay extra for CPO. But the original warranty...

    CPOs before the BIG change

    I picked up my “refurbished” 2015 P85D a week and a half ago. Delivery Specialist: “I just noticed all of these hood marks. We’ll have it repainted. “ Frankly, refurbished should mean they already fixed it before I picked it up. I was really disappointed compared to the experience I was led...

    MS P85D wheel spacers?

    Hmm, I haven't been on the forums long enough to note a lot of suspension problem reports. I was running spacers on my BMW and the dealer never had an issue with them, though I bought it CPO and it was toward the end of it's warranty.

    MS P85D wheel spacers?

    Is it really necessary to remove them before going for service? If you have to take them off each time that’s a deal breaker for me.

    Looks Fantastic!

    MS P85D wheel spacers?

    Very nice, I've loved seeing your mods, artsci. I'm picking up my P85D on Thursday and my head is swimming with the possibilities. Did you need an alignment after adding the spacers? Also, did you also use lowering links or brackets? If so, does that change the spacer size to avoid touching...

    MS P85D wheel spacers?

    M4guy, please post pictures when you're done. Taking delivery of my P85D next week and am definitely thinking about a more aggressive stance. I'd also love to know if you experience any effect range and handling! Thanks!
