I mis-spoke and it was clarified that the tire rotation schedule is for rotation every 5,000 miles with an average life expectancy of 10,000-12,000 miles for the rear tires. This of course is dependent on driving style. It is important to note though so that owners can make sure they...

Got my S back today. We were able to get all issues resolved with no out of pocket cost. We were told that the tires need to be rotated every 3,000 miles and replaced about every 7,000. Too bad we did not know that! The Roadster was a lot of fun, but could not imagine driving one every day. I...

Ours is there too. We had to raise a stink with them when we found out about the issue with the charger because we had been having issues with it since day one only to find out it was built without a second charger. So we requested the Roadster and they were able to come through even though we...

We had the low tire pressure warning a few days ago, thankfully right as we turned onto the street where we live. We pulled into the driveway to see if we could tell where the issue was and immediately noticed one tire was low. Upon further inspection, we realized the tire was worn significantly...

An update for anyone interested. It took 3 weeks to fix the car while we waited on parts from Tesla. Got the car back last week and it looks excellent! By the way, while Chilton had the car, they ended up putting it on a truck and taking it to Tesla so our windshield wipers and charge port could...

Funny! I drive from SJ to San Antonio rd in PA. I love the black car....and the light greay, and the dark grey, and the white..... Do you have the commute stickers? Someone told me I defaced my car putting them on....

I have been seeing quite a few lately too...including a white one going north on 85 near Campbell this weekend and today the replica of mine in black...right near my office in Palo Alto!

We were told to try that as well but it did not work for us. I believe someone at Tesla suggested the credit card (or maybe it was our friend), but at least it works. It is a little frustrating to come home at night and have to pry the charge port open to be able to use it though.

We have had our car since October and absolutely love it. We have had mostly minor issues since we bought the car, other than it was delivered with a non-functioning heater which immediately needed to be replaced. I think the biggest issue we have had is there is not one person or place to...

It is State Farm and Chilton is the shop. They have good reviews online and so far have been very helpful.

An update for anyone interested. My insurance carrier provided an estimate of $2,700 to fix the car. Thankfully the autobody shop Tesla referred us to is an approved vendor with our insurance, and they have already worked on some Teslas. So the car is now with the autobody shop and the bad news...

It is hard to see the damage other than the frunk being slightly ajar. The front bumper has some scraping that you really can't see in the photos. But overall the damage thankfully looks pretty minor. Yes there is ice on the car too. and my hubby's hand prints. And I lost my license plate frame...

I will update here when we get Tesla involved. In terms of the cause of the accident, I believe I came up behind an existing collision and did not realize it. It was in an area I drive every night, so I know the traffic patterns there and the traffic is bad. It slows and cars are switching...

Yes, it is true. I got into a car accident in my two month old car last night. Thankfully, I was not hurt and accident seems to have only caused minor damage. But there is damage. I hit the car in front of me probably at about 20 miles per hour. I believe there was a collision in front of me and...

I have to say my black car looks pretty good! Lol. My husband took me shopping at the outlets today and to see the superchargers there. They work exceptionally well! Suzanne
