    Service and communication (out of main)

    Our Lexus dealer treats us the same , the go above and beyond when we bring our LX570 in for service. They apologize for not having LX570 loaners.. Yes its a big antiquated boat, but it will last forever and even when it hits 100k miles it will still be worth something. Enjoyed owning our...

    Tampa Location on North Florida Avenue

    I was told by someone in the auto industry (no automaker affiliation) that the reason the Tampa location is not open is due to an ongoing dispute with the auto dealers association. Since Tesla does not have franchised dealers they cant open this location.. Makes sense, its been more or less...

    A word of warning for potential Tesla owners.

    Imagine how these situations will be in 6 months, once a poop ton of Model 3's are on the roads. Service centers are overwhelmed as it is and the process to become a Tesla body shop is expensive and time consuming. Ive always felt a cheap Tesla will be what brings the house down.. the lack of...

    New Deliveries - Anyone worried about Tent/Weld/Brake and Roll?

    How reliable is your Model S?

    Water leak on day 2 of ownership, dash rattles (took a week to fix), water in tail lights, misaligned trim, grinding door handles. No mechanical issues, but lots of down time to fix all the above. Great customer service with the Tampa center... That said, these cars are rushed out of the plant...

    Model S range and interior update imminent?

    Yes Yes, demand was so strong for the Model S and Model X it required massive discounts at the end of the 2017 to get rid of them... Last I checked and abundance of inventory does not mean high demand. Once again Tesla spin, do people really believe there is a high demand for Model S and...

    p100d tuning

    If you like thats all that matters, however keep in mind you just murdered your resale value. Weird colors, kits and wheels appeal to the 1% of buyers. Ive learned the hard way, its best to keep mods conservative or easily returned to stock.

    Tesla Trade In Value Is Bizarre, What Is Our 2016 S P100D Worth?

    Telsa's are like the most expensive google phone ever made, with every update the old models are worthless Talk to people in the used car business, they run from Teslas.. there is no rhyme or reason to pricing... bottom line is used Teslas are tough to sell.. you will take a hit, no worse than...

    Tesla Trade In Value Is Bizarre, What Is Our 2016 S P100D Worth?

    Its seems like the some Tesla owners feel their cars are immune from depreciation, at one point that may have been the case just like any other hot in demand car. Just like any highly optioned luxury car the "P" cars are going to take it in the shorts the first year or two. Part of the...

    Tesla Trade In Value Is Bizarre, What Is Our 2016 S P100D Worth?

    Selling at 138 on ebay? Just because someone is asking 138k doesnt mean that they are getting it. Used P100D's are not flying off anyones lots, in fact I dont think any model s/x is unless its a sub 70k price.(for the 60/70/90/100s). From what I have seen a loaded up P85D will move at 70k...

    TESLA Customer Service – Lack of Oversight?

    Mark LaPlant in Tampa should be overseeing the whole service division, he is the BEST!! He went above and beyond each time I took my car in for service.. my issues were corrected on time and Mark always kept me in the loop. Probably once if the nicest people I have ever encountered in my life...
