    Slacker down?

    Same here, been down since Friday... so annoying!

    Ordering Model S but unsure what to do with Trade-In?

    I didn't have the distance challenge, having a store/service center within 40 miles, but I wasn't sure what to do with my trade-in. Turns out Tesla was several thousand under what Carmax offered me, even with the sales tax offset mentioned above, so I sold my trade to Carmax the day before I...

    Firmware 8.0

    Yep, I just did that on the Minnesota Owners Facebook page... and then ducked. Sadly, I think it's just the 2.36.106 update to 2.36.108 as I've been reading on the forum...

    Firmware 8.0

    Got mine last night - and now another one is scheduled for tonight with the same "estimated time to complete" as last night's. Will be interesting to see what that is.

    Tesla moments

    Oh no, he'd already run my credit card and I was just ready to sign it when the car came up... the charge held true to the original quote over the phone, so I was good :)

    Tesla moments

    Just had a fun one without even being in the car. Our dishwasher was acting up so I had a tech out today to see what's what - we got talking about how wonderful technology is until it fails. I said "And driving the most technologically advanced car out there today, I am glad it doesn't fail...

    First month with the S and a little bummed.

    Another wiper chatterer sufferer here. I haven't changed anything - no coating, no different wipers - and it's only the driver's side bottom half that does it. Annoying as hell. Living in MN, I need my wipers to work! I'll give the Bosch Icon and shorter ones a go - small investment if it helps!

    Homelink auto close stopped working

    Yep, same here - 95% of the time, I want it to close, but if not, super easy to just hit "skip" and it stays open. That's why the sudden non-functioning was a bit annoying (but in the realm of problems in the world, it is miniscule...).

    Homelink auto close stopped working

    I'll give that a try. Weird how it opens just fine but not closes it... But hey, technology baffles me most of the time! :)

    Homelink auto close stopped working

    I set up the Homelink about two months ago, no issues. Have both auto open and auto close turned on. Two days ago, auto close stopped working - auto open still works, and I can close "manually" no problem. I have changed nothing else - reverse out of the garage, the screen shows "auto close" but...

    Tesla moments

    Two wee moments this past week...driving home one evening, a chap driving a Miata dashed past me (I was stuck behind a slow Prius again - it's becoming a common thing for me...), then slowed, dropped behind me, dashed past again, pulled in front, stuck his arm out of the window and gave me a...

    Trunk Latch Problem

    Uh oh... that's what happened to me when I got my windows tinted (two weeks into ownership). The vendor was massively apologetic and really concerned that his team had somehow damaged the latch, but the Service Center could find no evidence of damage. The mechanical latch simply failed. The...

    Tesla moments

    Stopped at the "local" supercharger (ie: 60 miles north of us) and when we came out of the restaurant, there were people peering in the windows. As they walked towards us, my husband said "You guys have any questions?". 15 minutes later and multiple other people stopping by to join the chat, I...

    Model S: Overwhelmingly male and over 45 years old/Model 3 Don't Die

    Owners of Tesla's pricer Model S sedans have tended to be overwhelmingly male and over the age of 45... I am neither, though close to the latter... :)

    Help Justifying my purchase

    Once I stopped trying to justify the purchase, I ordered one. By that, I don't mean I couldn't afford it and just said "the hell with it" and bought it anyway - I mean I stopped trying to justify why I would be better off with a Model S than my Lexus at half the cost. I have the means and I...
