Thank you very much, not sure why it didn't come up in my initial search!

I have a 2016 Refresh Model S 90D with XM radio, and have had no issues with it for the 4 years or so i've owned it, and today when i got into my car, the XM radio button had vanished. I've reset the MCU a few times, and sent a refresh signal, but the button just seems to have vanished, it...

it's all the way through the clearcoat. I ordered a paint match kit to try and do what I can to make it as unnoticeable as possible.

It's the drivers side door right below the handle.

It just looks like a $20 bill because it's next to a Tesla. It's an optical illusion.

I got a scratch a month or 2 ago on the side of my Blue Model S and decided today to get an estimate on repair of said scratch since it sticks out like a sore thumb when I get the car detailed. 2 of my quotes came back at $1300 and $2900 for the repair and I wanted to see what others have...

you can connect a phone using an HDMI adapter, or use a HDMI cable or wireless HDMI adapter to connect to a laptop, or you can use a power inverter to convert 12v to a mains plug to connect something like an apple TV or Roku.

2016 90d with 27k miles shows 258 @ 90%

I just purchased a used 2016 90d from Telsa yesterday with 27k miles and its rated 100% range is 289. Only 5 miles of degradation isn't too bad over 2 years in my opinion (1.7%).

I was at the Tesla store yesterday browsing and ended up working with someone to check the model X vehicles they had in inventory that might have a discount on them that might be close to the configuration I was looking for and they mentioned something that I hadn't heard of anywhere. He...

I'm always shocked at the crazy range of prices that people seem to pay for insurance. I myself pay $160 a month for a single driver with a clean record for a Prius. I can't even imagine how much my current insurance agency would want to charge me for a Tesla.

All companies don't get to claim the "Inland Waters Transport for Petroleum Subsidy" , nor the "intangible Drilling Oil & Gas Deduction subsidy". The "intangible Drilling Oil & Gas Deduction subsidy" works differently than a typical expense revenue deduction for a normal business, and provides...

Lots of activity today at the site. Here are some fresh photos from just now.

at 50% charge, that's about the right amount. You'll only get close to 120kW during a brief period in the beginning if you're close to sub 20% charge this shows some real world charge curves:

I was about to say the same thing. I've driven all used cars (usually 10-15 years old) up until my recent car, and I've never had to spend anything CLOSE to $200 a month. Sure on occasion your clutch or transmission may go out, or you might have to replace a head gasket, but that's maybe once in...
