UPDATE- Got a very good deal for them to replace the touchscreen and problem solved for now on that. Have another hugely expensive ridiculous problem now. When I gave them the car for the touchscreen repair my air conditioning was working perfectly fine as it has for its entire life (3.5 yrs...

If you have a 2012 or 2013 Model S you need to be monitoring your 17" screen very closely. Many people, myself included, have noticed their screens bubbling and after time leaking a sticky glue/silicone substance from the lower screen bezel. I believe this will happen at some point in time to...

It would be great to consolidate as many people effected by this and approach TESLA in mass and followed by the press if need be. I think this would get the desired result. This is a very high profile aesthetic of the look and sales positioning of the car. A 17" screen leaking copious amounts...

Don't wait too long. It will start dripping a very nasty sticky glue all over your center console that will not come off!

I have a 2012 Model S- production number in the 2,000's. Mine has gone from a couple small bubbles, to long vertical ones to constantly dripping a very sticky glue, silicone substance from the lower screen bezel into my console over the last 12,000 miles-about 8 months I think. I can't imagine...

I've done the door handles, headlights and now my screen is oozing gel at the bottom after forming bubbles starting about 15k miles ago and having gotten much worse in last few thousand. So much for the low cost maintenance I was hoping for. I had two BMW 5's in a row with 100k miles each and...

I noticed slight vertical bubbling at edge of screen and didn't think much of it at the time and didn't take it to the service center as I am not much of a nit picker. I was in the mid 40k on the odometer range and what a mistake it was to not immediately take it in at that time. The car now...

Oh yes. I hear this logic a lot these days. As long as I get my social security check and Medicare benefits, who cares about my grandkids, they can fend for themselves. - - - Updated - - - Well, in my case the hook is a big deal known only after the fact. I was focusing on sustainability...

Ok. I have had my "S" for 3 months now and absolutely love it. There is one thing that I absolutely hate. I am the poor slub that has to wear a suit most days to work and I am not about to wear my jacket while I am driving, I don't need my clients thinking that I sleep in it and that's what...

P7422 and VIN 2862 will be in my garage after factory pickup tomorrow. Could have had it a couple of days ago if it were not for PenFed's archaic process (good thing they have good rates) Will post a picture- Pearl White with 19" wheels

Thanks for the input. I am leaning that way as I do like to figure out plates that are not too clear. I tried to get the plate SUN2RUN, but someone beat me to it. Cali is a tough place to get the plate you want, especially solar and ev ones.

I have 2 plates reserved and having a hard time making up my mind on which one to take. Maybe someone can weigh in and help me decide. they are: 1) 85KW EV 2) RNONSUN (I generate enough solar at the house to handle two Model S's and take care of the house)

TDFR Tesla Distorted Financial Reality I had a bout of this while I was at a neighborhood x-mas party last night and somehow (the aforementioned SAS precursor kicked in) the conversation came around to cars and I waxed poetically about my upcoming car delivery in Fremont before New Years...

Thank Goodness. I thought I was going to get the evil eye for P7422 delivered in December. Now they can leer at you:) Also, congrats on your fantastic taste in Pearl White. 85KW, Pearl White, Tan

OK. Thanks for suggestions. I found a sign out button on the bottom of the page of all places and then signed back in. And there is the delivery box. It is saying Dec. 15-31. Man, is that earlier than I expected. I was planning to have it delivered in Las Vegas and drive home experiencing...
