    Passenger side windows switches

    I have a 2015 model S with the same problem. Passenger window works fine from driver side but will only go down from passenger side. Does anyone have any ideas on this?

    10+ minutes to start my "old" tesla is just an inconvenience b/c I chose to do the eMMC recall and install firmware updates

    I have a 2015 Model S purchased used from Tesla in January 2018. For more than a year I have complained to Tesla about the delay. The MCU has been replaced once or twice. The car has had more service issues than I can count. The used car warranty expired last month and this was supposed to be...

    Onboard charger’s fuse NOT blown

    I had this issue a while back and it was the outlet at my house. It had melted inside. I also had Tesla change out the charger cable.

    Recall 21V-035 eMMC - Can't Schedule Service

    My car is currently at service for this very issue. I started trying to schedule this in late November. Actually had to schedule for other issues and have a mobile tech come out for an intermittent issue before I could get an appointment for the recall. Then my appointment was rescheduled 4 or 5...

    Service Keeps Rescheduling and I'm not home ...

    Actually, this has happened to me multiple times. One appointment was rescheduled 5 times because they were waiting on a part presumably. Mobile appointments were also rescheduled multiple times due to staff shortages with covid. I’ve had 3 appointments rescheduled a total of 9 times all...

    Service issues

    I too am in the south Florida market. I’ve used two service centers and mobile service. Mobile service techs have been great. Customer service reps at both locations struggle with empathy and seem to always be under pressure. The rescheduling happens a lot and I’m guessing it’s a parts...

    POLL: Have you had to have your 12V battery replaced?

    Have had my 2015 model S 70 since January 3, 2019. The warning came on a couple days ago. Mobile service is coming tomorrow to fix it.

    CPO Experience/Process December 2018

    I learned the hard way, that the "look" they give the cars may not be so great either. After picking up the car from Orlando and driving to West Palm Beach, I finally figured out how to see the tire pressure status. Found one tire dangerously overinflated (76 psi cold) verified by gauge and one...

    CPO Experience/Process December 2018

    I have an extensive checklist that I created from various online sites. I'm pasting it here. Hope it helps. Checklist for Tesla Pickup - A copy of the completed inspection checklist - it is quite extensive - A copy of the specs for the alignment - A "Due Bill" form. This is the legal document...

    CPO Experience/Process December 2018

    Update to my update... I finally figured out how to check the tire pressure and found the front right had 76psi. I thought it was a mistake. But no, gauge showed it was accurate. I let a lot of air out and said a lot of expletives directed at Tesla and was thankful nothing disasterous happened...

    CPO Experience/Process December 2018

    Update: I got the car and it’s amazing! It was immaculate. There were no photos of any blemishes and there weren’t any surprises at pickup! My only concern was what looked like rust residue in the wheels and door hinges and bottom of the space at the front bumper. I went over the car with a...

    CPO Experience/Process December 2018

    So in anticipation of my scheduled pickup tomorrow, I called the service center this morning to find out about the inspection and to make sure the car is charged up. I was told this morning that the service center has NOTHING to do with CPO cars. They are inspected at auction (his words) and...
