I’ve been using the UMC without issue for about a year and then two weeks ago, for the first time, I had this error message “Mobile Connector or Adapter over Temperature Limit - Maximum Charge Rate Reduced” on my dash display. The car had been charging overnight (as I always do) When I went over...

@Sir KITT - I have a mobile service appointment scheduled for this Thursday - wasn't able to make the previous in-shop appointment. When I was scheduling the service appointment they told me the .50 FW will resolve this issue, whenever it is pushed to my car. I currently have .49 (and my...

Thanks Patrick - can anyone share the pricing for just the tire rotation? I see that's supposed to be done in between service appointments, so trying to get a sense of what to expect there, too. With so much driving, seems like I'll be in every 3 months for either tire rotations or service...

FWIW, I also did an online chat with Tesla service about an hour ago, and they told me $550 for year 1, $725 for year 2, $475 for year 3, and $850 for year 4. I'm in NJ (not sure if that matters). This is for a Model S (I believe pricing for the X is higher). That makes the total out of pocket...

I am having the same issue as well. My MS75 is also about 6 months old, although for me the issue only started about a month or so ago. Would be curious to hear what service tells you @Sir KITT as I am bringing mine in for service in another couple of weeks and having some guidance would be helpful.

I heard recently that the delay is due to government regulations that allow a limited number of Tesla stores in NJ, and so they either need to close/merge a store into the Princeton store, or they have to somehow get permission to add another location in the state. Not sure if that's correct or...

2 questions... 1) will the premium model work for an iPhone 7/8 with the apple battery case on? want to make sure the guides are wide/deep enough to accommodate that case. and 2) I currently have the Tesla dock and the problem I am finding with any case is that when I try to dock a phone in a...

Went in to settings on my MS75D yesterday and noticed these curious entries.... Didn’t know the car was amphibious - must have missed Elon’s tweet on that!

I would assume (but again not my area of expertise) that if the car is not collateral for the loan (and therefore the lender wouldn't care), he could "Sell" the car to you or otherwise transfer title to you at which point you'd become the sole owner. You'll just need to drive carefully until...

Any owner of the vehicle is going to want to have insurance coverage for the car (whether that's a joint policy or otherwise would depend on the insurance company) but legally the owner of a vehicle remains liable so your uncle would be personally on the hook should you be in an accident serious...

Remember, if your uncle's name is on the title (so he can get the tax credit) he is also going to be liable should you ever be in an accident.

I happened to be tooling around my tesla account page and noticed under the description for the $6K enhanced autopilot upgrade, it mentioned "The enhancements include going from one to four cameras for greater accuracy, redundancy, and to see fast-approaching vehicles in adjacent lanes." Does...

how does the Model S frunk compare in dimensions to the Model 3? I'm wondering if any of the options posted here would fit inside my MS frunk? Thanks.

I will be there on Friday for a service appointment so if you don’t get an answer before then, let me know and I can ask them while I am down there.

I seem to be having a similar experience with my month old MS. I am losing 10-15 miles each day while my car is sitting in the parking lot while I am at work (for 12 hours). I am also losing 3-4 miles each night between the time it stops charging at 90% and when I unplug it 8-9 hours later in...
