I had 3 running light replacements during my warranty period (2 on left side and 1 on right side). Those were all free. I now have 118,000 miles on my MS100D and the left side has started fading. I contacted Tesla to get a quote for replacing it and was told it would cost $2,100. That is 3 times...

What's the new URL??

You clearly know a lot more about this than I do. I was relying on Tesla phone instructions and tow driver. I did not know that once the car is "started", the 12V battery was unnecessary.

A couple months ago, I returned from a 3-week long trip. My 2018 MS 100D had remained plugged in the entire time I was gone. When I tried to unplug the charging cable, I got no response at all - the car was totally dead, nothing. I could not open the doors, connect with the app, get the displays...

Yeah, COSTCO offers a 30-day satisfaction guarantee and I used it once.

Yes, wh/mi are a little higher on the new Primacy's than on the end-of-life Energy's. I'm hopeful that will improve as the Primacy's get some miles on them. Otherwise, I really like them. Ride is very good, handling seems good, noise level is good. So far, I have no regrets.

So far, I’ve been very happy with my Primacy Tour A/S’s. Efficiency is a little worse so far, but otherwise excellent.

I just replaced the tires on my 2018 MS100D. I got 60,000 miles out of the Michelin Energy tires I replaced. Very happy with them. My new tires are Michelin Primacy Tour A/S. Hoping I get similar miles out of them.

Apparently not

The other part that really bothered me was their refusal to offer me a loaner car, even though they admitted it was a warranty repair. I appealed to the SC manager, but he still refused. I was without my car for a full week, all because of a 12V battery.

They told me they charge the diagnostic fee if they perform a diagnostic check, no matter what the issue turns out to be.

Picked up the car Monday morning. Tesla charged me $195 for diagnosis fee. They replaced the 12v battery at no charge (it was under warranty since they had just installed it 11 months ago). My only serious complaint is the fact that it took a week to get a 12v battery!

It did show the charge rate and it was normal (54 miles/hr)

I’ve had a great experience with my Tesla, up until this point. This is the first time I’ve actually considered switching back to ICE. Tesla has not handled this well IMHO. I messaged Elon on Twitter about my problem, but no reply. I guess he’s a little busy now. . .

I did not notice which lights came on when I plugged back in, but lights did come on, where they did not prior to the boost. The charging indicators in the drivers display appeared perfectly normal, except no miles were being added. I only observed that for a minute or so, before I gave up...
