I'm a bit shocked by all the California hate in this thread. I've lived in several states (including Texas and California) while working in high tech, and I'll take California over Texas any day of the week. Reasons: California has many more regulations about treating employees fairly. One...

I bought a Model S last November to replace a high-end Lexus. There have been a couple of issues that required assistance from Tesla and I was amazed by the Tesla service folks. They clearly have no interest in serving their customers. I really miss the customer service at Lexus. Heck, my...

My model S was updated from 2020.12 to 2020.12.1 yesterday, and the problem with not sleeping appears to be resolved. Last night the car was charged at midnight as usual and was still reporting the same charge level at 9am this morning, when previously it always lost 2% of charge level...

I can only speak about Lexus cars, which I owned for about 25 years before buying a model S last November. Lexus never, ever mentioned a diagnostic charge for any issue. I was surprised when I took my Tesla in to get a rattle fixed when a payment was required before they would even look at the...

I have the same problem since 2020.12 was installed on my Raven Model S (built November 2019). Prior to this version the phantom loss was very small. I charge to 70% full every night at midnight and prior to 2020.12 when I left for work about 8AM it was still at 70% . Since the new version...

What I want is a system where I can use the PV for the home and also charge the car from the PV (via net metering). That's EV2-A, not EV-B. With EV-B, PV can only be connected to the home meter or the car charging meter - they are separate systems. I did ask PG&E about using virtual net...

Two weeks ago OCDetailing in Fremont did a full PPF on my MS with STEK DYNOshield + window tinting with 3M Crystalline. They are experts on Tesla cars and the completed job looks great. Highly recommended for their work and their customer service. They also offer other products and services -...

I have a 8kW solar installation that I purchased back in 2003. I just bought an MS which will be charged from home, and I expect to buy a second EV for my wife sometime in 2020. I'm on PG&E's E-6 TOU tariff that has a peak period between noon and 6PM (1PM and 7PM during daylight savings time)...

MS LR ordered 10/28, delivered 11/27. Dublin, California (21 miles from factory). No obvious issues with the vehicle, but was delivered early evening after dark. Will check more thoroughly in the morning.

Are you buying a Tesla Model S or a Nissan Versa (MRSP around $12,900)? On second thoughts, that response would unacceptable even from a Nissan dealer. Tesla will really have to step up if they wish to compete with the customer service usually provided by established dealerships who sell cars...
