    Battery won’t charge and now it’s totally dead

    There is more, I crossed 2K miles just a day back. I too saw the lights flicker before the car shut down completely. I too use my Model S charger(gen1) to charge M3. VIN23XX tho. No, the tow truck driver could not set the car on tow mode. The car died while he was doing that and he kept the...

    Battery won’t charge and now it’s totally dead

    Don't want to create another thread. I seem to have the same issue. Started my weekend with full charge (311 miles) as I had plans for long drive this weekend. One the way back home (around 250 miles still left) last evening started getting these three msgs (while driving): "Unable to Charge...

    Back seats too low?

    I had two friends (less than 6' tall) mention that the seats are low at the back. Although the leg space is adequate however even I felt that the rear seats are low. I think the rear seats were lowered to give better head room and also allowed to push the rear seat a bit back giving leg room...

    Suggestions needed for window tinting in San Diego area

    how much did it cost you if I can ask? I am looking for the tinting my MS and I hear around $600. Tinting on a non tesla costed me around 1/4th of that. It was a good quality one but that was 8 years ago.

    How bad is this damage; what are my options

    story so far... Talked to few body shop/PDR shops to get an estimate of the damage. Few of the smaller PDR guys said won't do coz of the small tear. But couple of body shop guys said this can be fixed. These are guys with good reviews on yelp and other forums and one of them showed me similar...

    How bad is this damage; what are my options

    My wife is a very safe driver but parking lots have always been her weak spot :-((. she has been reluctant to drive MS for the reason that it is a bit big for her to handle even with cameras and she prefers smaller car to drive. Unfortunately we have delayed getting a car for her as we have M3...

    How bad is this damage; what are my options

    wow! replace the whole quarter panel. thats a very poor design. I observed other cars have their rear bumper extend all the way up there so that typical rear dents do not cause so much damage. well I can go thru insurance route if the damage is so much, will put a dent on my premium and resale...

    Anyone had this issue? On pressing park button the rear driver side door pops open. This happened very frequently in JAN-FEB of this year and now once in a while. For a while I thought the problem was with the software and is resolved via OTA update but recently the door popped out again. I see...
