    The J1772 Tesla Wall Connector is back

    I should have noted that since 2015 I have used an included Mobile Connector for home charging. I have carried it while traveling only one time when staying in the Adirondacks before SuperChargers came to the area. For indoor home charging a Mobile Connector works just fine. Having to buy a cord...

    The J1772 Tesla Wall Connector is back

    Elon Musk said from the outset that he expected owners to charge at home and that the SuperChargers are for travel use. Now how does that square with no mobile connector (not wall charger) supplied with the car?

    The J1772 Tesla Wall Connector is back

    Kind of like sellling an ICE car with no gas filler and requiring buyer to purchase same separately!

    The J1772 Tesla Wall Connector is back

    Friend has MY on order. Cars no longer come with mobile connector (ridiculous) and Tesla is out of stock! What’s wrong with this company?

    Model S eMMC Recall

    Tesla says 1,5 hrs. Norwell told me 3 days, then screwed car up good! Hope you had better luck.

    Tesla service is nothing but a nightmare.

    I took MS in for recall. SC took days for a 1.5 hr part swap & messed car up badly. SC wanted me to pay them to fix their screwups. I got car returned, wrote a letter to Palo Alto & got timely response. Had car taken to another SC where multiple screwups were easily remedied. Yes TESLA service...

    Fault apparently loose connection at 12V battery. Easily diagnosed & repaired at second SC.

    Model S eMMC Recall

    2015 MS 85D went to Service Center for eMMC recall on 12/21/2021. Technicians upgraded eMMC and replaced touch screen and navigation module and put 55 miles on car, then claimed it ready for pickup on 12/27. Representative said car had Service Alert when we arrived to pick up vehicle. Service...

    eMMC Recall Service Causing MCU Fail?

    You Should be skeptical. The same thing just happened to me. After 7 days, the shop said the car was ready and tried to charge me for a Micro SD Card for navigation. They also claimed the MCU was unresponsive after the eMMC change. The MCU was fine when I dropped the car off for the recall last...

    Emulate Engine Noise - Agree or Disagree?

    Modern ICE car’s engines make less noise than tires. On a par with TESLA! We don’t fake engine noise!

    Model 3 totaled! please advise

    I would think there is a difference depending on whether one is in a no-fault state or not. Why would one be dealing with one's insurance company rather than the insurance company of the other driver if not in a no-fault state? I once got rear ended in NJ (not in a TESLA) and the offender's...

    Great delivery story

    Ordered an MS in 2015. It was built and delivered within 30 days as promised. SC did a good job of delivering, No defects initially. Not long after, 12 volt battery was not up to par (only issue to date). Tesla Roadside came and replaced it. No complaints after 5+ years. Best car I have ever owned.

    Lifetime Energy Consumption for my Model S in Boston Area after 4 years

    I live on Cape Cod and would pay the same $0.23/kWh were it not for solar panels I installed in 2010. I typically pay three to seven cents per kWh, so I don't mind charging at home even though it increases my electric bill significantly. Prior to charging the 2015 MS 85D at home I paid one to...
