    The beginning of the end of free Supercharging ?

    There is no need for tesla to forcibly remove the fusc. They just need to program their full self driving autonomous cars to total your fusc car. They know where it is located. And they will say they need to continue to work on the self-driving part. They are just waiting for enough idiots to...

    suggestion for new 19 inch tires Model s 2018

    Here is my update on the pure contact ls. It is definitely more comfortable, but the 70K warranty is way out of proportion. I am on my last 5K miles and I have only put around 15K miles since the tire change. I might go back to cinturanto p7 plus since they have the 2nd gen version and maybe...

    Model X 90kWh battery pack degradation

    Just so you are aware if you are not. The 90kwh pack never had 90kwh. New, it only has 86Kwh and about 81kwh usable/nominal. Given time and mileage, 70kwh nominal is definitely expected compared to other "90kwh" pack.

    Tesla model S battery Failed

    Most likely they will eat the cost and just charge limit you to the 85KWh of the refurbished unit. Not the end of the world, but that is probably the more likely scenario. Best of luck on your dispute. Tesla service can be a hassle to deal with.

    Free Supercharging Still Worth It?

    Base on the new pricing structure in CA, it is more expensive to drive a tesla on supercharging rates only during normal hours compared to a regular petrol car averaging 30mpg. Unless you plan to charge off peak at the supercharging station during road trips, unlimited free supercharging is a...

    suggestion for new 19 inch tires Model s 2018

    I used p7 plus All season, oem, and continental purecontact. The most comfortable and least noisy is the continental. The most range would be the p7, but very slightly. Probably 290wh/mi vs 293wh/mi for the p7. I get around 30-35K miles out of my tires. Continental is still up in the air, but...

    Low charging Messaging Does not work!

    Yeah lithium battery guestimation is not a perfected science. So at best it is just an estimate. I suspect one string in your battery pack is weak and the bms shutdown prematurely to protect the battery. And older battery pack will have worst estimation. I have a 2016 90D with 100K miles and...

    Help: Where to Buy Desiccant Bag?

    Any instructions on how to change this yourself? I got 100K miles and 6 years on mine and haven't changed it. AC performance is decreasing a bit and the summer heat is coming.

    Screen peeling

    If you have the mcu1 this is a common problem. The issue is tesla used industrial grade center and dash screen parts. They needed to be automotive grade screens. The only recourses are: 1) ask for a replacement at the service center and hope they do it for free for you. 2) pay to get it...

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    If you don't do any other service and still have the emmc recall fix, then it is straight 1500 + tax.

    Driver LCD has Bubbles after Visit to Clarkston, MI Service Center.

    Yeah that is going to fall off soon. Haha yeah thr mcu2 upgrade will replace this screen also. Note a lot of the adhesive already has gone to the bottom. The service center will have a heck of a time cleaning that out. Their loss I guess.

    Driver LCD has Bubbles after Visit to Clarkston, MI Service Center.

    I was thinking about those guys that had the Emmc replaced but did not get the MCU2 upgrade. The battery replacement might also require some screen removal and firmware update to make it fit the new battery? Who knows? But I think anything related to removal and modifying the center console can...

    Driver LCD has Bubbles after Visit to Clarkston, MI Service Center.

    Here is my suspicion on why this is happening right after the service center fix. All the old mcu1 screen are defective and out of specs in terms of how it can handle the heating and cooling of a vehicle. Basically it is NOT automotive grade stuff. When the service center guys opened up the...
