On my 2013 Model S (P85, 140K miles) I am getting an intermittent loud screech/squeal which seems to be coming from the front right wheel. It seems to occur mainly in the 25-60 MPH range and, oddly, immediately goes away when I apply the brakes. Also, oddly, it goes away when I veer left and...

That’s what’s always bothered me. I always pause before I exit, but it always starts up when I get back in the car. Seems like this doesn’t happen to everyone, which gives me a ray of hope that there is a solution. Corollary problem is that the ebook or podcast or whatever starts up after a...

It's probably been five years since I visited this forum (my Tesla S currently has over 128,000 miles on it), so I figured I'd come back and see if anyone knows how to solve this problem. I listen to audio books from my iPhone while driving. The problem is that when I approach the car, whenever...

Just thought I’d add my experience from early September 2018. Five and a half year old P85 with 112,000 miles on the odometer. Fully charged in Page (to 243 miles), drove at 55 for about half the distance to Blanding then increased to 60-65 as it was clear I’d make it easily. Arrived in Blanding...

Does anyone know if Tesla (or anyone else) has given thought to possibility that Superchargers within the narrow band of totality for the upcoming August 21 eclipse might become overwhelmed with Tesla drivers needing to charge their vehicles on their way to see the eclipse? I'm planning to...

I listen to podcasts on my iPhone when I drive. Been doing this since I got my Model S three years ago. Lately the podcasts always start up as soon as I enter the car. Never did that before. I HATE it! It is really pissing me off. Is there any way to tell the car to not do that. (I know I can...

As you say, it is a personal choice. I preferred the contrast of the silver wheels on mine.

Yes, I was (and AM) worried about this, both for publicity stunt caravans and in general as more and more Teslas hit the road.

Just saw the episode. Overall pretty lame. Glad "they" (only one guy drove the Tesla) liked it. Racing through malls and neighborhoods just seemed stupid to me. And whining that the car isn't noisy enough. Give me a break. First and last time I watch that show.

I've searched for this and haven't found an answer. The new Nav traffic has both solid and dashed yellow and red lines for traffic. What's the difference between dashed and solid? (I'm on firmware 5.6) Is this documented somewhere?

When it's safe, I drive my P85 fast (high 70s, sometimes low 80's). No apologies. I expect I'll get ticketed someday.

I also have grey with tan interior and obeche matte. Looks fantastic! I love it. Going on six months.

Walked into the Menlo Park Service Center today to make an appointment. They told they are closing in about a week, so my appointment (in three weeks) is at the new Burlingame Service Center at 50 Edwards Court, Burlingame.

I thought the following was notable. I was at the Tesla Service Center in Menlo Park today. Wandering about, I saw about 20 Model S's and 15 Roadsters. Not one of them had a front license plate installed. Having said that, I will almost certainly get a fix-it ticket on my way home today...
