    202X Roadster Delay Legal Action?

    I paid $50,000 in November of 2017, and same thing. Tesla never called me back. I've grown to dislike the company that I once greatly admired. I called many times to ask my place in line with the Roadster reservation - no can do. I recently called and asked if my reservation locked in the 200K...

    Plaid Test Drive

    Michelin Pilot Sport - very noisy at 75 MPH on highway. Continentals are better.

    Plaid Test Drive

    I think I'm canceling my Plaid Model S order. I am worried the cab will be real noisy like my 2014 Model S. The roar of the tires drowns out my $2500 sound system. Is the 2023 noisy like the 2014? Road noise of the tires? I'm reading road noise is bad on the new Model S. There is no service...

    2023 Model S Road Noise?

    I have a December 2014 P85D and it has always been noisy inside the cab and that is from the tires. The Michelin Pilot Sports were the worst. The Continentals are much quieter, but overall the car is much, much noisier than my 3-series BMW. I want a new Model S, but I'm thinking that after 8...

    2021 Plaid - Here we go again! SSDD and tires...

    My Model S P85D wears out tires, especially the insides of the rear tires, very fast. I drive at slow speeds around town, but I don't trust that the car is safe at speed. Tesla has not been able to fix the problem - 3 different service centers the last 6 months. Why Tesla did not use adjustable...

    "UM UM UM" noise & tires wearing out turns dream car into nightmare

    Because the Tesla approved body shop was 250 miles from my home, and when I got there (in late November) that shop said it would be middle of January to get the parts from Tesla. I wanted to know where they would store my car until the end of November, all of December, and to the middle of...

    "UM UM UM" noise & tires wearing out turns dream car into nightmare

    Can we have an honest moment? While my car is under an extended service agreement, I don't want to modify with an aftermarket alignment kit or oddball parts. This is actually a suggestion Tesla Service brought up to me. So, stock Tesla parts will not fix the tire wear/alignment problem? We have...

    "UM UM UM" noise & tires wearing out turns dream car into nightmare

    What is difficult about following my post? Can you imagine Ford or GM or any other company diagnosing this noise as the fault of a tire, then replacing tires and not driving the car to listen for the same noise? I picked up the car and it HAD THE SAME NOISE and they had changed out those old...

    Questions about toe/camber angles after recent alignment and 2 new tires

    I see this now after posting about my tires wearing fast - P85D Model S. Tesla said I needed tires and a front and rear end alignment. They did this and the new tires continued to wear and I still had that noise - so it was not the sound of bad tires. Now I learn form this thread that the rear...

    "UM UM UM" noise & tires wearing out turns dream car into nightmare

    "Um um um" increases in frequency with speed. I hear it. Passengers hear it. Tires wear out prematurely, mainly the inner passenger side rear on my December 2014 Model S P85D build. Tesla Service, however, said the problem was MY TIRES making this noise. So, they replaced tires and lined up...

    Helping w/ Model S MCU Issues

    Tesla replaced my failed MCU1 in February of 2020. Recently, my Tesla was in a Service Center and I asked what MCU I had because I have not been able to access the web. They said it is an MCU1. So, back in February of 2020 they replaced my MCU1 with another MCU1. At the time I talked extensively...
