Much of this is Tesla's fault. There are many stories out there about long waits for replacement parts, limited numbers of qualified body shops, etc. Yes, they are working on it, but the damage here is done (no pun intended). When a car sits at a repair shop for weeks and weeks waiting for...

This is great to hear. While it may be a bit late, I am glad that you guys are focusing on this now. I had two experiences with Tesla approved body shops where part delays were a problem. In both situations, the cost for my rental car was greater than the cost to repair the car. This was not...

This seems to be getting worse. Now my trunk won't even fully open when it is outside. This is crazy.

Let's hope that someone from Telsa is monitoring this forum.

This is hugely annoying. There is enough clearance in my garage for it to open fully, but it keeps resetting to the 50% position. I spoke to the service center about this and they said that it is a "safety" setting. Frankly, that's BS. This is a setting that is designed only to prevent...

I just hired Johnny at Calibred to clean-up a 650S installation performed by another company. He did a great job. I should have gone to him in the first place. Highly recommend him if you live in SoCal. 310-654-0532

I just traded in my Model S for a new Model X so I'm in the same boat. I was super excited that they upgraded the hardware after my order was placed (and prior to production) and jumped at the chance to upgrade the autopilot features. While it is annoying that certain features are not working...

Picked up my new Model X last week. Apparently, mine came with the "Squeaks and Rattles" package. Had I known, I would have de-selected it when I ordered the car. They are now telling me that it will be over a month to get a service appointment. This is very disappointing. They should have...

Same issue here. Spent a half hour on the phone with Tesla technical support yesterday and they played dumb like they have never heard of this problem. Said they need to escalate it to an engineer to troubleshoot. Kind of pathetic. This is basic functionality.

I had a similar issue waiting for parts on the repair of my Model S. This is actually a really serious problem that increases the cost of ownership for all Tesla buyers. While your car sits at the shop, your insurance company is shelling out money for your rental car. In my case, the rental...

While I am hopeful that some of the shortfalls in 8.0 will soon be fixed by Tesla (especially the problems with the Media Player), I am most bothered by the new display protocol for apps which appears to be fully intentional. Before 8.0, when you hit an app button the app appeared in the top...

A fixed rear spoiler to make the car look less like a jellybean. A four seat option with a rear center console. More color options.

I really don't want to be playing detective here, but the garage door that is shown in the picture that the OP posted of his car is this thread is not the same one that is in the background of the pictures that he posted about his window bubble issues. Model X Roof Window Bubbles One has a...

I am just a few months away from hitting the 3 year mark on my Model S purchase which will make me eligible for the guaranteed buyback program. Since it looks like that program was introduced in April 2013, I would suspect that the first group of eligible owners are just hitting the 3-year...

Umm, the nose is the biggest problem and the source of most of the negative comments here and in reviews. Also, while the active spoiler may be cool, a fixed carbon fiber spoiler (like the Model S) would have done a lot to give more definition to the rear. The changes that need to be made to...
