    Almost two months at the Tesla Charlotte Service Center

    😩 I have that sick feeling in my stomach. Thanks for the encouragement in knowing that I'm not alone.

    Almost two months at the Tesla Charlotte Service Center

    Hi All, I hit a deep pot hole back in mid July in Charlotte, NC and the air suspension and front end on my 2015 MS was damaged. The estimate listed over 10 different parts needed to service my car and I was told by the service center (in the app) that the parts were on order. It is now almost...

    parking brake fault

    Thanks for the response. Were you under warranty for the brake replacement? Also, when you said "it does not apply to my 2015," that's what I thought originally based upon Tesla's own recall notice. However, the updated notice says Tesla Model S vehicles between 2012 - 2016. The recall report...

    parking brake fault

    Has anyone been successful getting Tesla to apply this problem to the recall? There was a recall in 2017 for this exact issue - https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RCLRPT-17V260-5503.PDF

    AP1 owners take heart

    For me, the biggest concern I have between AP 1.0 & AP 2.0, and any other Tesla innovation is the value of my car. I welcome the breakneck, radical innovation that Tesla is conducting. What is clear is that their pricing strategy does seem to benefit those with the older technology. I have an...

    Those Dirty Birds!!!!

    Thanks for all of the suggestions. I do have 'before' pictures so I know where the bird poop is to check for imperfections after they wash and prep the car. Definitely considering the Opticoat and cQuartz coatings after delivery.

    Those Dirty Birds!!!!

    Hello all, I'm picking up my Model S85D this week and "just so happened" to be in the area so I decided to drive by the Tesla Service center. The car was sitting outside with dirt and bird poop all over it!! :mad: I know they will wash it of course, but has anyone had any issues with the paint...

    Few Trade-in Questions

    I had the same dilemma with my 2007 BMW 650i. I ended up putting it on Craigslist, carsdotcom, autotrader, and ebay. The trade price Tesla offered with $7k lower than I ended up selling it to a private party. It is a pain the rear, but if you can stomach it, would definitely put it on ebay...

    NVX Subwoofer

    Good question. I was just on the Evannex site looking at it as well. I am wondering if anyone has installed and have any comments on how it performs and how easy or difficult it was to install.

    70D loaded vs. 85D with fewer options

    I had the same dilemma and chose the 85D and 'stretched' the budget. It is definitely conceivable to save $10.5k on a new purchase by not choosing the seats, autopilot, updated audio and premium interior. I am in MD so getting a total of $10.5k back from tax credits was also a factor in my...

    Ended: $2K Off Instead Of $1K From Current VA & OH Owners, Confirmed

    For everyone who is looking to get the $2K, just make sure you have all the information of the "referrer" so can be sure you are knowledgeable of who they are. My salesperson mentioned that people need to operate in "good faith" and so being referred by someone should be a true referral. Take it...

    What Do You Do During the Wait? Anticipation ~

    Just curious what people do during the wait? I check the "My Profile" page daily. I am in the "Your Model S is in transit from the factory" stage. I've come across this video - classic Heinz Ketchup Anticipation TV ad 1979 - YouTube What do you do (or what did you do) during the wait for your...

    Model S Order & Delivery Tracker

    The status reads "Your Model S is in transit from the factory." Is this a new status message? I don't see the option in the spreadsheet.

    It's here!

    Congratulations to you!!! Stories like these make the wait that I have (30 more days) less painful. I can share in the joy!!! I have the exact same color S85D in production. Enjoy!
