Am on a trip right now in Big Bear from SD with a '13 P85S (so don't have hundreds of extra miles of range) and the Remax charger took the sting out of the range anxiety. They're saints as there's actually a lot to do around there. ICE-ing indeed though - half the chargers were blocked by...

Internet is definitely working. Booking a mobile appt.

I have a 2013 P85 Model S and my wife took every set of keys with her in the house to work with her for some reason. Was hoping to drive the car without the key as I read you can, but no dice. Could not get the door handles to present. The app shows lock/unlock. Lock flashes the lights, unlock...

I thought I'd post here because there seems to be no way I can find to reach out to a live person at Tesla about it. The 800# (888#) just runs you around through "self service options" with no way to speak with anyone. I have received many NHTSA recall notices at Tesla at this point on my '13...

This kind of sucks...a couple bubbles appeared a couple weeks ago on my instrument cluster - these are physical and not graphical. Tesla says the only fix is to replace the entire instrument cluster - $1200 or something (though I could upgrade my MCU to the latest version apparently for like...

I took my 2013 P85 which I bought preowned a couple years ago and is about 1500 miles from 100k in for the "recall" I got a letter for (that Tesla isn't doing most of the time) and my wife mentioned she heard a clunk in reverse lately (she's commuting and I'm not during the pandemic). They...

93.5 KDAY on Tune In hasn't worked for months after working fine for a long time. Is this worth reporting to Tesla?

I’m so confused by this issue. I seem to have a car that could be affected by this but have no idea how to check. My car is actually coincidentally at a Service Center - should I ask them to check something?

I'm sorry to ask a dumb question - I have a '13 P85 that I'd like to check for this - is the only way to do so to max charge the battery?

As a big dog lover and a '13 P85 owner I'm disappointed that it seems like Dog Mode won't be rolled out to non-AP cars. Why? We have the ability to persist climate - how hard would it be to show the dog message onscreen even if you don't have all the AP cameras? What in Dog Mode requires AP...

Congrats! For whatever reason there seems to be less DIY spirit on these cars among owners than I've experienced in the past - so props to your ingenuity. Only wish there were photos / DIY on how to do it myself! Or even Evannex or some 3rd party offering this...

Not liking that you were out $1100 - just that you're at 154k in the same model Tesla I have at around double the mileage...

Is the MCU one of those things that just dies every few years or if you had it replaced under warranty are you generally good?

Unsure if threads bump here - but this seemed to be the most recent thread on this topic. I asked Tesla about this for my own '13 P85 and while I'd never be up for the $3,200 I read some owners were quoted - I have a -very- tight garage and realized how convenient the folding mirrors are when I...

Thread watched. I have essentially the same vehicle ('13 P85) purchased ~8 months ago CPO - now approaching 80k mi so will be under warranty a little while longer. I intentionally avoided the pano roof so can't help there. The included warranty has already covered a lot at no cost: - MCU...
