    Signature HPWC (24 ft, Matte black, 80A)

    Greetings again! A little backstory, I lost my Model S a couple months ago, and decided to purchase used (In this market i know T_T but i actually got a pretty solid deal) and wouldn’t you know it, the previous owner left this little present for me in the trunk!! It looks BRAND NEW, despite...

    2018 Tesla Model S Next Gen Seats with Headrest Adjustment Black Textile - Excellent Condition

    What a deal!! if you don’t mind me asking, where did you get the white seats? I’m thinking about doing the same as you, but I’m having a heck of a time sourcing the parts. Did Tesla install them, or did you do them yourself/have a third party shop do it?? thanks and good luck with selling!!

    Lowering on H&R Springs

    I didn’t do them myself, but I went for these as well on my old 2015 P85D and have some info; since when I was looking into doing it, there was SO little information on it. I had an approved Tesla shop do it, and even they were confused by what I wanted to do, but afterwards they told me it...

    My Model S Saved My Life

    A 20k repair on a car worth 40k is a big percentage. As Tesla gets older, their supply of the older parts becomes smaller and smaller, which could increase waiting time for parts. I know I only got a 90kwh battery because they HAD to replace it as per warranty. They don’t make 85 packs...

    You’re right.

    My Model S Saved My Life

    I had the Recaro seats too!! I think myself and several others here would recommend avoiding an out of warranty Tesla... my car ran great and one day just bricked and needed a new battery 6 months before warranty expired. I don't even want to think about what that would have run me.

    My Model S Saved My Life

    I actually just did the same, and Tesla offered me a LAUGHABLE amount, and i considered selling private party... I finally made the decision to keep it about 2 weeks before this... Hopefully insurance does better than Tesla, lord knows they couldn't do worse. Best wishes, and good luck with...

    My Model S Saved My Life

    The girls in the Jeep were pretty banged up, but no serious injuries. A few cuts and bruises, but the driver did have to be cut out of the car. She was taken to the hospital, and we weren't sure what the condition was, but i found out today she was in pretty good shape all things considered...

    Alright my guy. Thanks for the correction. Hopefully nobody gets bamboozled by this post. Glad we could fix that before it got out of hand!

    My Model S Saved My Life

    I feel like having every safety feature functioning when you needed it to would check the boxes for reliably working parts. Reliability doesn't just mean drivetrain.

    My Model S Saved My Life

    I definitely think that over time, things will surely begin to "settle" but I can only imagine that the tolerances have become significantly more reliable after 6 years haha. I've sat in a 2017 or 2018 MS once, in a showroom for a couple minutes, and while i noticed a substantial difference in...

    My Model S Saved My Life

    So here's where i'm sitting... My car was great, and i loved it... but it was very VERY poor in some regards. All the interior panels were squeaky, and didn't sit properly, there were rattles, and noises that drove me nuts... After just sitting in the 3, and Y, the interior just felt SO much...

    My Model S Saved My Life

    My adjuster SEEMED to be on my side, and was impressed i was able to total a model S. He took my invoices for the MCU upgrade, the integrated console, and everything i had done, including the 90kwh pack replacement. The difference in price between a P85D and a P90D is wild. We went back and...

    My Model S Saved My Life

    I was worried about this, but my claim evaluator called me today to inform me that they accepted liability for all four cars today. She also mentioned that all 4 of the passenger's parents are suing the grandmother as well. From the police report i was given at the accident; while i don't like...
