    Out of Warranty Drive Unit Replacement and Cost

    sorry I missed this. That's knoxville, TN. I was surprised by the fact that it was slightly cheaper than what others have seen, while simultaneously still dissapointed that the part is so expensive :)

    Vendor Tesla Model S Battery Extended Service Plans from 057 Technology

    This could be what is happening in my case. On one hand the payment processor said a check has been issued, but I've received nothing. On the other hand, my CC company still clearly shows the charge as not refunded, and no check has arrived in the mail. So, the payment company probably has not...

    Lol, ok you guys. Try and reign in your quick triggers. Ruby is asking for status on her refund because she's hasn't been able to get useful information up to now. Also, Wk057 really doesn't need your help.

    It's great to see the team out in support here, hopefully not insinuating that everyone who wants a refund for services not delivered is a scammer.

    Vendor Tesla Model S Battery Extended Service Plans from 057 Technology

    I agree, this is definitely very much needed. If we don't have a robust recycling program that keeps older EVs on the road and repurposes their spent batteries, then there's almost no point to this whole EVs for the environment thing. Unfortunately in my case I have to move to another continent...

    Shouldn't be a problem in my case though since I've never got the BMD and ain't currently trying to get a free battery from you though, right? ;)

    How do we go about getting refunded for the warranty in the case that we paid, but never got the monitoring module and had to part with the car before activating the warranty?

    Battery Imbalance after 8 years

    this is annoying that they try to hinder an effort just to keep old cars on the road. I guess it makes sense, since it might prevent one or two of us from breaking down and buying a new Tesla instead of trying to keep our current ones off the junk heap. BTW I am one of the folks who's been...

    Lifetime Average Wh/mi

    Wow 250? On 21" wheels this would be nearly impossible for me at highway speed (not in town, which is easy because it's slower). I suppose I should try it - check 60mph on flat ground. I've got a 100 mile trip coming up that I usually do at 70 that I could try at lower speed.

    Lifetime Average Wh/mi

    Yeah I think the key is the weight difference, But also the tires which were high efficiency compared to the continentals. Overall it looked like a typical 10% difference for me a couple of years ago. After more miles on these Vredesteins, I'm seeing 325wh/m at 70mph. I'm surprised to see...

    They're the Rial Lugano, closest I could find to looking like the turbines at the time.

    Model S Thule Aero Blade Edge Roof Racks (Complete Kit) $600

    apologies; I missed the response. I'm not near Pensacola anymore at the moment (was not too far a couple of weeks ago). I would expect these will dissapear fast because it seems almost impossible to find roof racks for the classics with pano roof anymore.
