    Knee pain after coming from Toyota Land Cruiser

    Land Cruisers will do that to you. Sometimes the onset of the pain can be delayed by several months. Good that you got rid of it when you did!

    Apparently BMW already has this feature: BMW Unlimited Range

    Poll; What vehicles will come before Redwood?

    Too bad you are only asking us to vote on vehicles. If not, I was going to vote for the option that said "Two NHTSA's, three 'recalls', an SEC, a class action and five 'X' dramas"....but I guess that still only puts us into early 2025...

    Trunk double beep and residual movement

    About 18 months ago, I had something similar happen with my 2016 MS. While there was no event that caused it, over time it just started to shake a bit at the top of the opening cycle, drop an inch and beep twice. I simply reset the max height so that it stopped about an inch lower than max and...

    Mystery noise SC ‘couldn’t hear’…

    Sometimes when I'm travelling down the highway, I hear an alternating high/low pitch sound like a siren coming from behind my car. However, I find that if I push the accelerator right to the floor for about a minute or so, it quickly fades off into the distance.

    Battery Fuse Replacement

    I just ate peanut butter on toast. It was delicious.

    Inaccurate temperature readings

    I read the same thing. As it's now getting the temp info from the internet, in addition to choosing between C or F, you now can select either liberal or conservative weather sources, i.e. the "The Earth is going to end in twelve years" or "Climate Change is a hoax" websites. You can still...

    Rear brakes having a hard time releasing after parking overnight

    My MS has done the same thing on and off (usually when I've parked it wet) for a few years now. I've had the brakes serviced by Tesla a couple of times and there doesn't seem to be a long term problem. Before parking it wet, I will sometimes set the regen to 'low' so that the car uses the...

    Battery life Model S 75D

    Many of us tend to have the battery gauge display % instead of miles. The trip planner is surprisingly accurate and in eight years of ownership I've never experienced range anxiety. You'll notice that under certain circumstances (temp, wind, elevation changes etc.) you will consume more energy...

    Update on Tesla Sevice station damage to my Model S

    Maybe they thought you were from the police dept. It's not quite black and white - but not far off :). I agree with the others...worth a redo.

    Am an idiot or I can’t get rear heat or AC automatic

    When I saw the title of your post, I thought there was going to be some place for us to vote. ;)

    EV car fire video

    "This just in....there was an EV Car fire today in Colorado. While the Fire Dept. confirmed that it wasn't a TESLA, witnesses say that it could have been...and you should be very concerned..."

    Daft Times anti-EV article of the day

    Be nice. I think we should give the reporter a break. The fact that he spelled every word correctly is quite a feat given his apparent IQ. Some of the big words must have taken lots of practice.

    A $175.00 Mistake

    Would have been fun to watch your rear tailgate opening and closing in the driveway. :)

    First Cybertruck Accident?

    Wonder if the glovebox airbags went off to keep the driver's wallet safe so he has enough $ for repairs.
