    Supercharger - San Anselmo, CA (under construction Apr 2023)

    I am guessing that PG&E is devoting all their resources to storm recovery and to counting their money from their obscene earnings report last week.

    A SC in King City has been my dream since I bought my 3 back in 2018. Glad it's finally open!!!

    Perceptions

    Add Elon not just joining but leading the culture wars and a major corporation with NO public relations agency, overly dependent on one person to set the tone for the company. I've been saying for years they need a strong COO and Elon needs to be more of a figurehead but that ain't gonna happen...

    Is my beloved 2018 LR Model 3 turning into a maintenance $$$$ nightmare?

    After blow drying the interior of the seat (in the gap in the back) and blow drying under the seat, and then letting the car cook at 82 degrees with seat heater on for an hour, the errors have cleared and my car is back to being her wonderful self. I do really want a new 3 but realllllllly want...

    Thanks for this thread. Husband spilled water coming home from the gym and we got the alert plus the occupancy sensor malfunction. Car is currently baking in the garage at 80 degrees with the seat heater on full blast.

    Is my beloved 2018 LR Model 3 turning into a maintenance $$$$ nightmare?

    That was a huge help - thank you!!! Upon interrogation (smile), my husband confessed that he SPILLED WATER in the passenger seat driving home from the gym yesterday (!!!!). Without your post I would never have thought to ask "Hey, did you by any chance f up my car by spilling water in the...

    Is my beloved 2018 LR Model 3 turning into a maintenance $$$$ nightmare?

    I took delivery of my silver model 3 in June of 2018. During the warranty period a number of issues were addressed and they were always issues that people were discussing on this forum. Tesla mobile service took care of them all efficiently and I loved my model 3. Until recently it's the best...

    Supercharger - Santa Ynez, CA - Santa Ynez St. (under construction May 2024, 8 stalls)

    Great location. Now if we could just get the Santa Barbara / Montecito hotel prices to return to pre-pandemic pricing we would be down there tomorrow.

    Power Conversion System (PCS) failure

    Yes a few days ago I went to the NHTSA website to file a complaint and really this is not a safety issue. Although if a gas-powered car could not be filled with gas I guess maybe a safety issue since people would be stranded? Still it's a leap. It's not like a defective seatbelt or airbag.

    Power Conversion System (PCS) failure

    Here's another way of looking at it. I spent $2000 on maintenance for a 5 year old car. That's $400 a year. Not bad. Because it was part of a tech service bulletin and a KNOWN issue, I still believe they should have covered it. My car is low mileage (32,000) so has not had as many charge cycles...
