    Tesla offers to transfer lifetime free supercharging to new vehicle

    Got the same offer to transfer super charging. Even though my 2016MS just went out of warranty, I have free supercharging (use it maybe once a month), free connectivity, and parking sensors. I only pay for Spotify, but that's my choice. Fairly cheap/easy car to have. While this is a much...

    2016 75D - CPO with a major heart-wrenching issue

    As my story tells, I went round and round with several people that simply pleaded ignorance or failed to acknowledge my issue. It was the not-so-subtle threat of legal action via consumer protection laws that knocked the door down. I hope you find someone in Tesla that is willing to take up...

    Model S 75D Uncorking SAGA, the Scam of Tesla Used, and an actual question.

    Here's the synopsis of my "success" saga: My 75D advertised at 4.2 seconds (uncorked), but config variable (now no longer accessible) and testing showed corked (5.2 seconds) Contacted sales rep, local dealership, and Tesla support where I faced confusion (uncorking? never heard of it)...

    Keep at it and send certified letters to the dealership and Tesla corporate. This is what broke the dam/log jam for me. See my earlier posts about what I wrote in terms of violation of the state's consumer protection laws. You can also message me directly if needed.

    Glad to bring awareness and discussion to existing and future Tesla owners. Cucubits, your journey didn't seem that rough and I'm glad they made you whole - you are completely right about that sour taste... that feeling of being duped or ripped off, and powerless to do anything about it. I...

    2016 75D - CPO with a major heart-wrenching issue

    Tesla support can do one or all of the following: They can check the VIN to see if the vehicle is capable of being uncorked. This was my case and I have the email stating the my VIN is listed as being capable. They can remotely look at the hardware in the vehicle to see if it is capable. This...

    2016 75D - CPO with a major heart-wrenching issue

    What Krash said, you use to have a p_config setting you could access that would indicate corked vs. uncorked. I think we created such a stir with this that they simply removed it from view so that people like you are left in ignorance. The BEST and FIRST thing I did was contact Tesla support...

    2016 75D - CPO with a major heart-wrenching issue

    Finally got around to some test runs this evening to verify my uncorking. Results: As you can imagine, I am quite please with the results and satisfied with the outcome of my efforts to make Tesla own up to their advertising. It took months and I feel like it was worth it. Thanks to...

    2016 75D - CPO with a major heart-wrenching issue

    Just picked up my 75D a few hours ago. I asked "I assume the uncorking went as planned?" to which the service rep replied "The technician stated that the procedure went as planned". My car only had 20% charge when I picked it up which would diminish the power available to test the uncorking...

    Today is uncorking day. They need the car for the entire day, and maybe through the weekend. I have a loaner as a result. I hope this puts an end to my uncorking journey.

    2016 75D - CPO with a major heart-wrenching issue

    Had my appointment Tuesday and once again was ready to have my car uncorked, along with some other stuff. Here's what else I had done: Replaced my 3rd gen floor mats with 4th gen. Probably a known issue somewhere here on the forums where the velcro pads lose their adhesion to the bottom of...

    2016 75D - CPO with a major heart-wrenching issue

    My appointment was suppose to be now, but I was contacted late yesterday to reschedule because all of the parts won't be in until Friday. The Saga continues into next week. According to the service ticket, this is the part that will "fix" my uncorking issue: Field Kit Pyro Fuse Pack 2.0...

    2016 75D - CPO with a major heart-wrenching issue

    I ended up using Teslemetry for my test runs since I had already purchased it. I found a flat side-road in a nearby office park. I first did a run in "Chill" mode: Corked, 0-60 Chill Mode by NetRat posted Aug 23, 2019 at 11:15 PM Next I did two runs in Standard mode and got the same result...

    2016 75D - CPO with a major heart-wrenching issue

    My diligence might have paid off. I received a call from the shop supervisor at the Tesla service center in Baltimore. He asked if I received his email, and i said I hadn't yet, but checked and I had gotten an email from him: We would like to schedule you to come back in for service. It...
