    Tesla offers to transfer lifetime free supercharging to new vehicle

    I’m waiting until they update the body style and if they don’t do that I’ll likely be in a Taycan or the new Corvette E Ray in a couple years. I’ve driven a few Taycans and they handle a lot better than a Model S and I’m sure the E Ray is even better. I have a 2015 Model S with 145k miles on...

    Order before/after prices and versions were removed - does it make any difference?

    With all the demand for the Cybertruck and the price of the Plaid, I wouldn’t be surprised to see the quad starting price at $100k+. Plenty of diehard Tesla fans(me included) would pay six figures for a quad with 4 wheel steering and 1000+ hp.

    What are Model X Stereo Upgrade Options?

    I'm doing an upgrade to my Model S stereo system in a couple of weeks now that the HV Battery has been replaced under warranty, and I've decided to keep it for at least another few years. I've found a local shop in Minneapolis that has done a couple of dozen Teslas and is comfortable working on...

    Who needs a roadster when you have model s plaid?

    Yep, that my question as well. I'd love it if it handled as well as a $61,250 Porsche 718 Cayman but that would surprise me. Maybe the best solution is a Model S Plaid and a Cayman for the same price as a Roadster.:)

    Lifetime Average Wh/mi

    112,950 miles on my 2015 85D and was at 349 Wh/m when they replaced the eMMC/MCU last fall. Mostly highway miles but rarely under 75 mph.

    Thinking of getting a Taycan Cross Turismo...

    Porsche is also offering a lot more color options than Tesla including this Frozen Blue.

    Thinking of getting a Taycan Cross Turismo...

    I love the Cross Turismo and sometime in the next year will be replacing my 2015 85D likely with the Taycan or the E Tron GT. I drove my buddies Taycan Turbo recently and it definitely drives like a Porsche. I don't need the extra room of the Cross Turismo as my wife drives a Range Rover so...

    First Real Competition?

    Totally agree, Tesla deserves the credit for having all these new EV options in the market. My 2015 85D has 113k miles on it and is actually at the service center getting the HV battery replaced right now. I'm going to drive it for maybe another year and then decide between the Audi E Tron...

    Wiki Consolidated eMMC Thread (MCU repair) (Black Center Screen)

    I dropped off my 2015 S85D this morning for out of warranty repair(107k miles) of a dead touchscreen. Shortly after I made the appointment last Friday I got a text showing they had ordered the Tegra daughterboard. No indication as of when that part will be available or the cost. I have a...

    Sudden loss of charge amount and driving mileage.

    I just drove home from our lake home 138 miles north of us and when I got about 6 miles from home my 2015 Models S 85D started warning me about the range/battery level and slowing down, first to about 55mph and then two miles later only about 35 mph max. I made it another 4 miles after the...

    Just ordered a S85D for a March delivery.

    My wife and I just finalized our order December 23rd for an S85D with Pano roof and 19" Cyclone wheels. We live in El Dorado Hills and my wife commutes to the San Jose area for work about 35 times each year so she is looking forward to using the HOV lanes and having a shorter drive to and from...
