    FS: 21 inch OEM carbon sonic wheels and tires.

    I am selling 21 inch Tesla OEM Carbon Sonic Wheels that were taken off from my 2018 model S. The front tire size is 245/35/21 and the rear tire size are 265/35/21. Both of the rear tires had only been driven for a week before I unmounted them. Both front tires are 1/2 way worn but I have 1 brand...

    Mercedes S-class vs Tesla

    Before this model S, I leased the S550 and BMW 750LI. Both German cars had much a better suspension system than the model S. With the German cars, it was smooth when you went over a speed bump. The Mercedes S's distronic and the BMW's adaptive cruise control are very good like the model S. But...

    Lease return charges

    I returned the model S 2 months ago. I didn't have to pay for any of the damages. There were 2 heavy deep scratch areas: one at the front bumper and one at the rear wheel area (see pictures). There was no live person to inspect the car. A day before the lease return appointment, Tesla sent me an...

    Tire and Wheel Insurance

    I keep a spare wheel and tire (its a BMW 7 series 245/45/19 wheel that happens to fit my model S) in my garage. If something like this happens to one of my wheels, I will call my wife to bring this spare wheel to me. I also keep a jack and lug wrench in my car so I can swap the wheels. For a...

    My Cheapskate Model S Qi Charger Solution (Repost)

    I want the qi charger to be available for charging without having to open the console's door. So here is my DYI project that cost less than $10: 1. I cut an old DVD case to match the size of my largest phone (Samsung Note 9) with a pair of scissors. 2. I used electrical tape to attach the fast...

    Trying to figure out bird poo with XPEL

    Thanks for starting this thread. I had the same problem earlier today. The bird poo had probably sat on the Suntek film for 8+ hours. I didn't realize this until I came home from work. I used the no-rinse carwash solution to clean it off but I couldn't remove the stain. After reading your post...

    “Congratulations! You can now charge at any Tesla Supercharger.”

    I didn't get this message but I saw a change in the car map that shows all the superchager stations. Yesterday, it still showed the cost (ie 26 cents per KWatt) at each station. Now, the charging cost disappeared and it just shows the number of stalls available and the idle cost....just like my...

    Model S delivery mysteriously cancelled

    At least they called you to cancel the delivery. I ordered an inventory car with 5k miles and paid the whole amount 2 days before the scheduled delivery date (yes the whole 101k). A day before, I called the pickup center in Buena Park because nobody called me to confirm the pickup date (like...

    Need advice buying new vs Inventory Model S

    Yes, the same thing happened to me. I was scheduled to pick up that red car 2 weeks ago. I even paid it in full 2 days prior to the original pick up date. A day before, I called and they said it was not here. They never called me... I always had to call them. Fortunately, the car arrived on...

    Need advice buying new vs Inventory Model S

    I took the delivery of the inventory MS 100D this afternoon. It has 5200 miles. The paint is nearly perfect. There are scuff marks on the bottom of the car's bumper and at the driver's side door sill, which I don't really care because no one really goes down there and look at it. To me, these...

    Best SoCal Service Center?

    I plan to bring my 2016 Model S, which has 19k miles, in for service for the very first time. I plan to bring it to the Buena Park Service Center. How far ahead should I call them in order to reserve a loaner? Since this is just a routine annual service (no problem with the car at all), can I...

    Connecting an Amazon Echo Dot to my Model S

    There is an app called "Reverb" that you can download from Google Play store. You can link it to your Amazon account and give verbal command. It's not handfree. You have to tap to the microphone icon. With this app, I can turn on my tesla's AC with my voice command on my phone. It has limited...

    Stategy for Lack of Spare Tire on Model S

    I previously drove a BMW 750li, which had runflat tires. I bought a full size 245 45 19 BMW rim and tire and used it as a spare. Now I use this same BMW spare tire for my model s and it fits. I had 2 flats on my BMW and none on this model S, which has 15k miles on it. I only put this spare tire...
