    Lock keys in car

    I think you'd have to block the signal. So... You could try... Remove the battery from the key... Wrap the key in foil... Find a place in the car where the car doesn't see it. (I feel like there was a place in the back corner of the trunk where that happened once)

    Help with removing Legacy S trim interior trunk piece - picture inside.

    I believe you want to remove the center piece first. About 40 seconds in he starts and about 3 minutes in he removes your piece.

    2012 Model S Signature Cars

    Hmm, the "being used" portion seems off to me. Sure, things will wear out from being used, but I find more worry over the vehicles that are NOT being used. In my experience, those are the ones where I end up putting money into fixing things from NOT being used...

    Ice vehicles in ev spots

    You can report it wherever you like, but not exactly likely to make much difference. As far as I know, you'd have to contact whoever owns that parking lot and then try to get them to do anything...

    Lyft vs Tesla

    Weird. Lyft approved my 2015 model S without a problem.

    Salvage Tesla

    I would disagree on a couple of these from what I've heard but they are a bit gray areas it seems. I would expect Tesla likely strips any free supercharging if they re-owned the car at all or thought it was ever salvage. But if supercharging was turned off that they also offer a...

    Tesla State Inspection in NYS

    They shouldn't do anything to the batteries. But they will want to lift it to check the tires, brakes and suspension...

    2017 Model S Not preconditioning when Nav to Supercharger

    Sounds like it's just Sounds like it's just already warm enough from driving around so it doesn't need to use the heater.

    Bought a "Unicorn" P100D - Roast me or encourage me? Also have some questions...

    It sounds to me like the car isn't getting cell service for some reason. But I suppose it is entirely possible that Tesla is checking the GPS location of the car and your phone and wanting to verify they are in the same location...

    Is this Model S a good deal or keep looking?

    I'm not aware of anyone getting a new battery for $15K unless they asked for used, then won the lottery because Tesla didn't have any and gave them new instead... If it's an 85D I wouldn't expect any motor issues.

    Is this Model S a good deal or keep looking?

    The first question is to verify that it had a "NEW" battery installed in 2022. It seems HIGHLY unlikely that someone would come along and say "Here, let me spend about $22K on this car for the heck of it and then sell it for about $25K". Also the fact that I'm not aware of Tesla even having...

    Bought a "Unicorn" P100D - Roast me or encourage me? Also have some questions...

    I have no problem with them. I think the N2itive ones possibly look slightly nicer and are perhaps a bit easier to adjust but I don't think there was anything that made me justify the extra money.

    Hmm, must be my memory wasn't as good. I guess they were $500. https://www.macsboost.com/product/macsboost-tesla-s-x-camber-arm/

    Bought a "Unicorn" P100D - Roast me or encourage me? Also have some questions...

    As soon as I submitted the info the transfer was basically immediate. Maybe a few minutes. You could be fine. You should just be aware of what you might run into. I went with a non performance model because of the motors but I know I'm still gambling on when the battery decides to go and...
