    Independent repair shop for Model S displays near Pasadena, California

    Hello, I need to replace my center display and instrument cluster display in my 2015 Model S 85 -- the center display is leaking glue, and the instrument cluster is also melting (but hasn't started leaking yet). The service centers in Alhambra and Burbank are overwhelmed and I've had to keep...

    Can we renew our HOV sticker?

    Hi all, Quick question regarding California HOV stickers -- we're owners of a 2015 Model S, purchased in late 2015. We received our white HOV sticker in early 2016. Will we be able to re-apply for a new sticker once our current sticker expires at the end of 2018?

    How to view XM Channel list in 8.0

    My wife and I listen to XM more often than other sources and we are both really frustrated with the 8.0 Media Player. I posted these observations in another thread, so apologies for this (way too long) re-run, but here's what I've found (I sent this to Tesla, but considering all the complaints...

    8.0 Music Player Unusable

    I played around on 8.0 last night after our Model S updated yesterday; the first thing I did was check out the media player, which we all know has the potential -- thanks to the 17 inch display -- to be a fantastic piece of software with an industry-leading interface. The 8.0 media player is...

    The dreaded "door handle won't present."

    Just had this happen to us -- called the service center, but they're so slammed that the next available appointment was 3-4 weeks. Thankfully the manager called me back and sent out a Ranger the next day, he swapped out the handle in about 20 minutes. Perhaps your local service center could...

    Anyone else extremely frustrated with getting Model S in for service?

    I have a 4+ week wait to examine rusty liquid that's leaking out from behind the front grille. We need a loaner in order to bring the car in, as the fix will take more than 1 day, and that's the first date that a loaner will be available. When I asked if I could get a rental instead of an S or X...

    Check Out My New Model S - with Refresh, and Photos

    I know there's been a lot of speculation about the redesigned Center Console (I hope it gets added back as an aftermarket accessory in the Tesla Store) -- does the Center Console that came with your S have rear seat cupholders and USB charging ports?

    Professional Installation Recommendation BlackVue 650 (Pasadena Area)

    Ordered the BlackVue DR650GW-2CH from prodashcam.com, the installer was recommending that I also purchase the Power Magic Pro, but from what I understand that is not needed on the Model S -- we'd like to keep the unit "always on" so it's working and recording when the car is parked overnight, or...

    Hi all, I want to join the BlackVue DR650GW-2CH club and get one installed in our Model S, and was hoping to get recommendations for professional installers of this system near the Pasadena area.

    Only if you consider the key to be worth $150 (wall connector with 8.5' cable just went down in price to $500).

    Model 3 Supercharging Capable Discussion

    Apologies if this has already been suggested, but one possible solution to Supercharger abuse is to charge for access if the Supercharger station is within 75 miles of your home address.

    Air suspension begins lowering car immediately after car turns on

    The instances where we've been over concrete blocks in parking lots were always situations where the car needed to be parked deeper into the space. Raising the car up to avoid hitting the block while parking in tight spaces is something our Telsa rep highlighted when we were making our purchase...

    Air suspension begins lowering car immediately after car turns on

    Yes -- the setting drops itself from Very High to Normal. No weight difference -- haven't been adding any passengers or cargo.
