Today, my 2016 MS with about 85k miles started making a loud ticking noise when doors are opened. The noise continues for about 10 seconds and goes away. car is driving normally. Any ideas on cause? Thanks

Hi rxlawdude: Did you ever hear back from the Assemblyman's office? I got my stickers at the very end of 2016 so I will barely have 2 years of HOV access which was a primary reason to buy the Tesla? Thanks

The biggest benefit to of owning my MS is AP. I drive about 100+ freeway miles daily in rush hour traffic surrounded by clueless drivers, IMHO, performing insane maneuvers to get one car ahead! Driving almost 90% of that commute on AP1 is absolutely life changing! In my previous Mercedes, I...

The new stalls were all full today so I briefly used an "older" space and got 97KW charging.

learned/remembered that the embarrassing way as I was showing off to my father in law and the car was parked in his steep incline driveway :oops:

Pretty common in my car as well so I am ready to make manual corrections in merging lane scenarios. Driving in the leftmost/ #1/ carpool lane means dealing with the yellow line at all times.

I use lane #1 as HOV access is key on my daily commute in AP1. I am extra vigilant in construction zones with cement barriers making up the left lane line but haven't had any weird behavior. I end up making room for large bagger/cruiser motorcycles as I don't want to risk contact but it is worth...

My lifetime rating is 293 wh/mi and I went from 206-209 to 239. Hopefully that goes up. Battery showed at 100% though.

WOW! Crazy pics. Super glad you and your friend walked away from what must have been a terrifying experience.
