I feel the same way. I've had similar experience with two major service items. One was a replacement drive unit where they failed to attach a panel properly causing me to be stranded on the way home from the SC and now I have a main battery failure and will probably be w/o the car for a month...

Loaner - Ha! Never got any response to e-mail or voicemail msgs so I called roadside assistance (based on recommendation from here) who got me thru to phone remote support (after 1/2 hr wait). They told me to take it to SC w/o appointment. I did so and now it will sit there for an estimated 3...

They used to say the same thing about Model 3

So, I've had my Model S for just shy of 7 years now and I've seen quite a change in Tesla service. When I first got my car, they where top notch. Over the years however, I've noticed the service level go down, down, down to the point where it's just crap. Today, my onboard chargers suddenly...

Sure, that's a valid point. But my main point is that what works for some doesn't always work for everyone. I have a short driveway and never leave the car parked there. They need to make stuff like this optional so we can turn it on or off as needed.

Can anyone explain to me why it's a good thing for homelink to beep at me when I get close to home and it opens my garage door? I find that nothing but annoying. OK it's not a big deal compared to some of the other things they've butchered in 8.0, but it is another example something Tesla just...

Me too, but I guess we'll have to keep waiting (it's not fixed in 8.0). I have a feeling they'll never fix this. Seems we're not supposed to listen to music the way we used to. Albums? What are albums?

Well, I have a +1 available and I will be going. But... I'm visiting family in the SD area that week, so I'll have to put them first. If none of the family wants to go (fairly good chance because of drive time), then I'll make my +1 available to anyone. I won't know til Mon or Tue of that...

Here are a few pics from last night. Sorry about quality - it was darker than it looks.

OK - So, good luck with that and enjoy the anxiety! Make sure you go out to the garage every couple of hours to check.

Yeah, this has been an interesting discussion. If indeed the button press must interrupt the charging session for safety reasons (car locked or not), then for the supercharger to be "fair", I think it would have to keep track of the identity of the last car in that stall. Then if the same car...

@BlueShift - I love this site too and would be willing to contribute as well. One thing tho, PLEASE consider moving that "Add custom marker / Add to route" box away from the center of the map. It always seems to get in the way when looking for something.

Ha! A right, a left, a left, another right, a left to the body, a right, and into a super charging station!

Yeah, that's a pretty sad situation. Even if they can't load it from the service center, you'd think they could just hold onto the car and request engineering to specifically target your car for download (I know they can to that). Then they could proceed with the debug work.

I like this thread and am enjoying reading about all the features, but alas I still haven't rec'd the update. SigP #443
