    Fun story that means nothing.

    I have a very conservative friend who is a car guy and owns an early Corvette car and parts business; we met when back in the last century he sold me a very worn-out 56 which I then restored to Top Flight just like it came off the production line. I have had 3 Model S cars and currently driving...

    Insurance for Tesla

    I used my Tesla App to get an insurance quote for my MS and M3. I can't tell if the app's quote is an annual or monthly price it just says it's The Premium.

    Further discussion and analysis on why the yoke is not good

    15 months with a yoke and it is so much better than the wheel. I'm sure in 1908 when Ford switched from a tiller to the steering wheel that there were many complainers that couldn't deal with the new technology.

    Is this unusual to have to replace the rear drive unit and rear calipers at 95K miles on a model S (2013)? And is it a reasonable cost?

    I had two DUs replaced under warrantee on my 2013 Model S. Both due to noise.

    I had 2 DUs replaced on my 2013 Model S in a two year period due to increasing noise. Both done under warrantee.

    Electrical tire inflator pump for model Y

    I've used the Slime inflator on my Plaid and Model 3. It's pretty inexpensive and does the job.

    Older Tesla curious

    I suggest buying nothing earlier than late 2016 when Tesla did a fairly major update.

    Advice on tires

    I wanted a quieter riding tire for my Model S so I bought Bridgestone Quiettrack tires. They have a Consumers Report of excellent on noise abatement and are definitely quieter than factory tires.

    WH/mile?

    My 9 month old Plaid with 15K miles has 277. Weather I think has a huge impact on Wh/mi.

    FSD beta expansion to new beta testers June 2022

    Had a 98 score on my Plaid and got FSD beta yesterday. Tried it on the same corner that the fired Tesla employee's infamous Youtube video showed FSD running over a bollard in downtown San Jose. FSD turned left into an oncoming left turn lane, recognized the problem and jinked right to get out of...

    Should I Buy a Used 2013-2014 Tesla Model S?

    I had a 2013 S and had the drive unit replaced twice under warrantee. If you can hear a whine from the DU you can be assured it's going to get louder. Apparently a design error that was finally fixed.
