Passenger door handle and trunk struts needed repair or replacement for my 2016 S75 with 58,500 miles. I decided to try the Electrified Garage in West Palm Beach, Florida and it has turned out to be a great decision. Both expertly repaired at far less cost than I had thought possible. Byrone...

Same problem for the other side. I brought it to Tesla service center, now out of warranty. Thought about having it repaired, but decided against it. Could not bring myself to pay so much money for an item that will only need to be repaired again, who knows when. Not a good feeling about how...

Seems like you have a three year old version of the best model car ever made (Motor Trend, I believe) for less than half of what it cost new. At 41,000 miles, it should give you at least another 200,000 and many years of enjoyment. Your purchase looks to me like it was a no brainer.

Same problem and resolution with the driver's side halo light around 36,000 miles and 3 years, under warranty, for my June 2016 delivery S75.

My mirrors automatically unfold about 100 feet from my driveway. Speed seems irrelevant. Very convenient.

Thank you for your replies. I will cancel the Tesla Mobile repair, saving them some time.

Thank you for your reply. You wrote that this is normal. If you have a moment, I would greatly appreciate it if you would let me know how you have come to the opinion that it is normal. If you can help me in this way, I will cancel the mobile Tesla repair truck scheduled next week. Thanks in...

The halo around my driver's side headlight was replaced about 3 months ago under warrantee, which is now expired. A few nights ago, I noticed that outside section of that light was on, very, very dim. Not visible in daylight. Same the next night, so I figure it is always on. Tesla mobile coming...

June 2016 build S70 (75) driver's side halo light very dim, needs replacement. 46,000 miles. Will get it done next week, just before warranty expires. This is literally the only issue I have had since the car was new.

I love my '16 S75. Best car ever . . . . . except maybe the model Y. The Y will give you a longer warranty than the '17, it is brand new, with the newest tech, cameras, battery pack, computer, etc.. If I needed to choose, it would be the 'Y.'

Take care of your dental needs. You will find that you will be smiling much more often and your public will appreciate it if your teeth look good.

My 2016 S75 started with a rating of 249 miles; now down to 237 miles at 42,481 miles on the odometer. Last 20,000 miles, I have average 269 wh/mile.

I helped my brother-in-law look for a new car two days ago. We went to a Kia dealer in West Palm Beach, Florida, his first choice. Cars we thought would retail in the low $20,000 range were actually in the high $20,000 range. It was a mystery to us what had happened until we took a close look at...

S75 with 40,700 miles June 2016 build. Nothing to boast about here, but I still get 237 of 249, loss of a bit less than 5%. I understand that the loss curve is somewhat asymptotic, so it should lose fairly little over the next eight years or so that I plan to own this car before buying another S...
