    Staggered Tires - Rotation?

    I scheduled Tesla to come rotate the tires on my Model S (staggered, plaid) and the technician called me the day before trying to talk me out of it. I asked that they at least come take a look...a different tech came out to the house, said the tires are wearing evenly (they were 5 and 6...

    2016 Model S liftgate gasket replacement

    I tore a chunk out of the gasket on the liftgate of my wife's 2016 Model S when loading something into the back of it, and I'm not entirely sure how to replace it. The Model S service manual says: Removal Open vehicle liftgate. Release tailgate seal from body and carefully remove...

    Easiest way to black out Tesla emblem (front and back)?

    The spoiler that came on the car had a scratch in the "carbon fiber" wrap. Waiting on Tesla to get a new one in stock to replace it.

    Easiest way to black out Tesla emblem (front and back)?

    Finally got my Plaid back from PPF (Xpel Stealth) and tint (Spectra Photosync). Took a few pictures before it gets too dirty!

    HOW TO: Replace Headlights in Refresh (2016+) Model S

    Supercharger - Buena Park, CA (removed from car nav 31 Aug 2018 but still operational, 8 V2 stalls)

    Yes. I stopped to charge there last Friday around 1pm, and saw similar behavior. All the stalls were full when I went to leave, with 2 cars waiting - but 1/2 the stalls were 'new' cars rather than customer cars. Not one of the better superchargers. :-(

    What is up with My Tesla?

    I see weirdness as well - the forum links are gone, service purchase links just go to the root of MyTesla, etc. Looks like there's a re-design in progress that's kind of half-assed. I wouldn't worry about it.

    4/8/2015 Design Studio Changes

    I was able to do a $500 change fee for my MS60 (Pearl White) to change it to an MS70D in Warm Silver Metallic. Since I had tech and supercharger already, it ended up being the same price (actually cheaper, but then the $500 change fee brought it back to effectively the same price). Was no...

    To be clear, you were within the 1-week window, right? I'm just outside of that (by 3 days), waiting on a call back from my specialist. Not sure how it was handled in the past.
