    Tesla Model S 21” Sonic Carbon Twin Turbine Hairline Fractures / Cracks

    Welp, Thought I'd post here as another data point for this issue. Model S has 14K miles, flawless, never repaired or replaced any wheel accessories or tires, etc. I am the only driver; no potholes, bumps, or anything of the sort were hit. I took the car in as the tires were very slowly leaking...

    2019 model s long range or 2023 new model 3

    34k miles on a Raven powertrain Model S is nothing, seems like a steal. I'd take the S as it's a superior vehicle in terms of suspension, size, battery (range is 373+ miles on that year Raven Model S Long Range).

    Anyone else seeing 21" Arachnid wheels cracking?

    Wanted to chime in here, I just encountered this out of the blue on my Sonic Turbine Model S OEM rims, 1 wheel was consistently losing air (tires all double checked, no holes or leaks) over the past few weeks. I had a tire shop triple check and the tires are all fine.. So I took the car in...

    Three out of four 21" turbine rims cracked within a couple of months

    I have also encountered this, suddenly 1 wheel was consistently losing air (tires all double checked, no holes or leaks) so I took the car in under warranty, turns out the front two rims both have microfractures from manufacturing defects.. they are barely visible hairline cracks in the inner...

    Looks like not much have changed in the Delivery experience

    @hjzs2k that's too bad, sounds similar to mine. I had an order glitch where the FSD price changed on me somehow and they wouldn't fix it. They "escalated" it multiple times and no one would help. Then, suddenly my order disappeared. They still have my $100 I'm going to move on, just didn't feel...

    Looks like not much have changed in the Delivery experience

    Sounds about right. Is what it is, have to deal with it while the company is still growing. I was interested after you mentioned a pricing snafu, I ran into this as well. Would you mind sharing what happened and how you resolved it? Did you have to wait til the pressure was on them during...

    Used Non-Raven Model S - Stopping Modes in 2020

    Hi all, I've been researching the Model S market and wanting to know if the "Stopping Mode" HOLD setting ever made it to pre-Raven Model S? i.e. Model year 2017-2018. There are a lot of threads from when the feature was originally released (almost a year ago in Oct 2019) but I couldn't find...

    Tesla Store Experience

    I didn't want a test drive. I wanted to sit inside the floor model and see how the touch screen worked. That's all it would have took; then I would've asked where I can sign up. Literally it would've been that easy. Seeing the screen in person, and then already doing my research about the...

    Tesla Store Experience

    Literally the exact experience I had in Santa Monica here. I was in the market for a luxury sedan and found myself interested in getting the Model S. I was renting a car without having to pay for it; so not in any particular rush to HAVE it, but I was definitely going to order something that...
