    Newark Airport Terminal A 5th floor charging problems?

    Anyone else have problems on the 5th floor of terminal A? I think they have generic J1772 L2 chargers there by the elevators. I've used this 3 times now and every time after plugging in it says/looks like it's starting to charge but after a few minutes I get a "no power". I'm using my...

    Leaking 4-way valve

    I wasn't sure how easy I could source that part (ebay used?) so I took it to the service center. They charged me $220 to replace it and top off the fluids. Not so bad.

    Recommendations on good quality after market CF spoiler for Model S?

    This is the first RPM one that I had. It was pulling up off the body in the middle of the spoiler towards the front of the car. So there was really no way to "tape it down" because you had to push down where my finger was and the adhesive wouldn't hold it down. The second one was pulling up...

    Recommendations on good quality after market CF spoiler for Model S?

    I'm not saying they are all like that. But this one stuck to the body better than the RPM Tesla one, and I'm sure they would warranty it, but I didn't want to bother. The guy from RPM Tesla said the OEM one he had didn't stick well. So that made me think no spoiler is perfect.

    Recommendations on good quality after market CF spoiler for Model S?

    Here are the problems with the amazon one, small finish cracks. I guess it's not "problems with the CF weave" but more in the finish.

    Recommendations on good quality after market CF spoiler for Model S?

    I had 2 from RPM Tesla, they are rather inexpensive. They look well made and good CF weave, but neither of them stuck down very well, I went through a few rolls of tape and they warrantied one and sent me another and that didn't sit against the body as well either. The owner had called me to...

    Leaking 4-way valve

    So is this something I should order and just do myself? I'm pretty handy. and I opened up my frunk and found that mine is leaking. Looks easy to do other than the purge part of the manual. If it's just a "try not to lose too much and hook it back up and you are fine" then I'm totally ok doing...

    GPS stuck/ location not updating (Solved now)

    I needed to take my car to the Springfield SC and the techs there figured it out. It was my Gyro board, or my "dead reckoning" board. Actually the guys in Paramus changed that board out months ago, but it didn't fix my problem. The guys at Springfield worked on the same add on board and got...

    Door handle permanent fix?

    When my gear broke I asked for replacements and they handed me 2 of these for free. I don't have the same failure rate, I've had 2 gears break and 1 set of wires (micro switches) break over 4 years and 75K miles. But hopefully the new design lasts longer.

    Yes, sorry, I saw the title in a forum search and it's the same issue I have in my Model S.

    Just got in a heated discussion with New York Gov Offical about chargeing net work

    Yes the Syracuse supercharger is pretty lame in what's around. Technically there is a restaurant and some nice bathrooms in the hotel, but the restaurant hours are poor. Or you can walk across the street to get to a Taco Bell and KFC. I try to avoid that one if I can help it.

    DJ commentary doesn't work in my car does in service loaners?

    This is a really dumb complaint, but I keep wondering if it's a sign of something else. I've had the DJ commentary enabled in my car for the last 4 years and 72K miles. And I NEVER hear the DJ. And I'm listening to "classic rock" in the streaming channels. It's build in. I get service...

    GPS showing wrong location

    For my particular situation, the phone GPS is always perfect (google maps, waze and apple maps). The car's GPS is the one that's off. I have been using the phone more and more because it's reliable and the car's is not.

    GPS showing wrong location

    In all fairness they have been pretty good about complaining of an issue before the warranty and then fixing it for free out of warranty. I had a number of issues I called and complained about and they took care of everything (some took multiple visits) still under warranty. I took it to...
