And I'm being told the warranty is 4 years, 50k on the reman battery. I will make sure I get that in writing.

Nope, just cruising along the highway at 75mph with 45 miles of range still left when alerts popped up that it was shutting down and to pull over immediately. I did and once it stopped it was completely dead. No power, no screens.

Yes, I now plan to get it fixed and resell it asap.

My 2012 P85 battery died this week. I have 193k miles, nearly 9 years old. I am being quoted for a 85k remanufactured replacement for $12000. Either I pay for a replacement battery or I have a bricked car that probably would sell for less than 12k. Not happy with either option, but don't want to...

I HATE, HATE, HATE HATE the new media player. It is horrible! I cant stand it. I want my old UI back. Here's my biggest complaint.. I now have a favorites row of icons at the bottom.. I can scroll through them.. AM, FM, Streaming all at the same time.. I don't like that much, but ok. Now when...

Wow, I didn't realize my Model S should sound like a gas engine car. I will take it back to the service center tomorrow to make sure they "fix" it so I have loud engine sounds when driving.. geez, really CBS? You couldn't have made a point of how quiet the car is and then leave out the engine...

My (lack of) charging issue I had my car in last week and received a new charge cable and adapter. I also had 5.8 upgraded. The first time or two it charged successfully. Last night it did not. It's always fun to wake up and see you have 65 miles left and a full day of travels scheduled. I then...

The word from someone I know who lives in Laguna Beach is that it was racing and/or road rage and the police don't want to officially state that and cause the Mercedes driver to hide or not come forward. The two cars were supposedly passing the light at El Toro going north where the road has two...

One news report is saying the Tesla was trying to pass and swerved into their lane. It is a double yellow line, so if that is the case they are at fault and will probably be in some serious trouble with the law.

I believe the speed limit is 65. But if there is little traffic most people do 75+. At that time of the morning there may have been little traffic. I have driven my S down that same stretch and it's a fun drive through the canyon heading to the beach. - - - Updated - - - here's some video of...

I updated to 4.3 on Sunday and have had the same experience yesterday and today with the doors opening when I put it into park. This is new since the update. I had other door issues since day 1 that may have finally been fixed after my fourth service center visit.

Can you get the color code from them? I asked them today for it and here's their response: Hi, We don't have any paint color samples for Tesla. The only way we could guarantee a match would be for you to provide us with a paint sample. Do you have anything you could send us that would be a...

I have a similar creak/rattle in my driver side retractor. And since it is right next to my ear it is more annoying than I wish it would be.

I've got the same sounds in my S. It started about 2000 miles. Tesla lubed up the brackets and its better, but still extremely annoying.

That's a better loss than me. I am losing 18 miles per day in 60 degree garage. I wish I could downgrade to the previous software to destroy these damn vampires roaming my garage.
