    $175 "diagnosis fee" on warranty work?

    "then you could have irate customers making manufacturers jump through hoop after hoop to prove the owner is crazy. There would be no end to it for some people. Warranties only cover warranteed items, not anything the owner thinks should be or might be a warranteed item" As best I can tell that...

    $175 "diagnosis fee" on warranty work?

    To be more clear - it was $175 PER issue for those 2 issues. I figured I'll just talk to the guy at the shop instead of the national line when I bring it in. Save everybody time.

    $175 "diagnosis fee" on warranty work?

    Yea - Id appreciate that for the engine whine if it required disassembly and major hours to diagnose, but my understanding is they just have a noise threshold. In that scenario I was like "well fine, I'll just wait until it breaks and you have to replace the whole thing anyway"

    $175 "diagnosis fee" on warranty work?

    Just called up as my P85+ is about 6 months and 2500 miles from being out of the factory warranty. I was informed for the notorious drive unit whine and the rear tail lights harvesting rain water issue (which I had already had addressed once @ 15k miles) that they were charging $175 fee to...

    Anyone try Hankook Ventus V12 in 275/30/21 yet on P85+ rear?

    FYI - tire rack called me and cancelled my order for these saying they didn't have the correct load rating (besides being a 275/35 vs a 265/30).

    Swapping Dash Trim (Video)

    FrederikC - thanks for making that! For me it was mostly things like "how many screws" or "what exactly is the padded panel under the steering wheel?" I think a few dozen more pictures would have helped me have more confidence on "am I about to break this or are we good?" :) But hopefully...

    Swapping Dash Trim (Video)

    No problem - glad you guys enjoyed it. The "after" pic would be OEM - because it looks that way as you would expect (unless I ended up with a few extra screws :))

    Swapping Dash Trim (Video)

    FYI - I had a chance to buy an OEM carbon fiber dash trim kit to swap out with the piano black trim in my 2015 S. I followed the directions here: How to add a Carbon Fiber Interior Trim to the Model S - TESLARATI.com The directions were very useful but I found a few spots where I had...
