I just had my failed liftgate power strut replaced on my 2013 Model S by Tesla Mobile Service today. He said he would have been done sooner but it only opened half-way. He said that since the replacement part is a newer revision, he had to access the car's system to re-program and recognize the...

I came across your cost of ownership article and thought it was great. If you are comparing an electric car with an ICE, you should consider adding in value of time to your cost somewhere. If you own a Tesla, time is probably worth a lot to you because of your profession. As we get older, our...

Hi...I've decided to get the Michelin Xi3 tires, however, what are your thoughts/concerns that these are not run-flat tires? My one worry is I'll be somewhere stuck with a Xi3 flat. Do you just plan for an emergency tow or get a tire repair kit (if they're any good) to leave in the car?

I have my MS locked up in my pitch dark garage. I can see light coming from the USB port. Any reason why there would be light? Is this an energy vampire? Do you see light in yours?

What did you Utah/SLC locals buy in the way of prepaid service plans and extensions? How about the ranger service? How many times have you had a ranger come work on your car since owning a Tesla? I need to decide by tonight...ugh! I am thinking just the 4-year plan and optional Ranger Service.

What are your thoughts on the 4-Year Extension? Worth it or not? Pros/Cons? I am considering the 4-Year Plan and debating on the extension.

I recently took deliver of my MS and a few days later had XPEL paint protection installed on my whole front hood, fenders, rocker panel area, and pillars. I am thinking of getting Opti Coat. Question is, is it better to have had the Opti Coat applied before paint protection or is it OK to apply...

Utah's first Supercharger station! ...in Blanding!?!? http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/money/57395822-79/tesla-station-charging-blanding.html.csp

Brittt1, from a financial standpoint, like a few have similarly describe, even though you make "high six figures", how is your net worth? Do you have lots of stuff and no savings to show for? You can be a doctor making $300K/yr with $600K of debt or a doctor making $300K/yr with only a mortgage...

Thanks for helping me save $60, Jerry! Good to know. I had the electrician place the outlet front middle of my 2-car garage. The Tesla cable has just enough length to reach my car, even with a folding table between the wall and car. I think a 15' extension would come in handy if I ever get a...

Looking at Amazon today, I see there is a Camco 15' and 30' NEMA 14-50 extension cord: http://www.amazon.com/Camco-55194-Po...extension+cord http://www.amazon.com/Camco-55195-Ex...extension+cord My question is, which length would be more useful when I take my MS on road trips? I am thinking...

I was thinking of way to get more distance with my Model S charging cable and came across this thread. Great info! Looking at Amazon today, I see there is a Camco 15' and 30' cable...

My car finally arrived yesterday!!! Ordered this car sight unseen, never driven and I want to thank everyone on this forum who helped answer my questions and put me at ease! MC Red is definitely beautiful! This couple from this transport service delivered THE most excellent job!!! They took...

Given a factory-installed spoiler on MS, can it be easily removed in the future? Is there any damage to the paint when removed?

Seeing your picture made me think...is it easy for someone to make a copy of keys with a picture?
