I also really miss those front seat pockets on the first cars.... it was so dang handy

How about a warning so we can actually fix them before they go bad??

Great write up

Agree totally... instead of educating “kids” at oreilly autoparts who “haven’t heard of a Tesla” maybe tsla could tell them what battery they use??? Seems easy enough

Just say that out loud again in a mirror.... you had to educate a worker at a professional shop!! Wtf do you expect a “normal”person to do?? Read 17 pages of this *sugar* and then go educate a kid???

I think that’s a great overall guess at ~500

It’s was 120 on the nose which is like 50 too much I’m sure... but again sorry to all the engineers who think I’m super lazy, I really do like fixing my own stuff when possible.

For the record I am WAY long tsla and have loved all of their vehicles. tesla service 800 number couldn’t tell me today wether or not lake forest or Santa Ana had a battery in stock, nobody could be reached at either store for the 2 hours I tried on hold. Even Tesla service cannot see what...

dan next time call me back man!

I could actually buy a battery and change it, when you call around to ALL local part suppliers and ask for a Tesla 12v battery they have no options. Do you not see the difference? I’m not trying to be bitchy here at all it’s just crazy 1- the difference from a few years ago with service and 2-...

Agree 100

Yeah the manual that’s on the screen of the car eh? You’d have to quickly think about logging in to the main website then figuring out where to go, what to search for etc etc. I even explained to this person of the REAL dangers to your point about the dogs or kids, I am not exaggerating...

3rd new Tesla I’ve owned, relatively minor problems with my 3 until today when without a SINGLE warning my 12v is apparently dead? Car will not turn on for about 30 minutes, finally got it on, drove it forward 5 feet and tried to roll the window back up... bad call. Window is now stuck down...

What a great update that would be... seems like an easy thing to implement for them, sort of like auto windshield wipers turning on while getting into their vehicle:) that was fixed easily enough.

I’d wait 100%.... no question
