    Sell my S and buy a Y?

    I do love the dual screens! We also have a base model Honda Accord we got from a friend for dirt cheap and it had $3k miles. It's a decent car but man...the road noise is pretty bad. I've heard a few things about the Y being noisy but I also know brand and type of tire can have a lot to do with...

    Sell my S and buy a Y?

    I have a 2017 Model S 90D model that I bought brand new in early 2017. I got the free upgraded self driving computer and also upgraded the center screen/computer. I also have black TSport 19" wheels and full glass tint. So far it's a great car (I bought it new) and don't have any issues with it...

    To MCU2 or not to MCU2?

    Early 2017 Model S owner here. Over the summer I got my self driving unit replaced for free; mobile service swapped it out in my driveway. Took less than 2 hours. I saw some improvements in terms of overall stability and visualizations but my center console had already started to get wacky...

    Tesla towing/flat repair story

    I've found that the policies aren't clear or consistent depending on who you talk to at Tesla. Their reason for not giving me the loaner wheel (which has a Goodyear tire on it) is that the other 3 tires are non-OEM. If I drive the 10 miles to Wheel Works, nothing will happen. Hell, if I drive a...

    Tesla towing/flat repair story

    Update: Looks like I'll be getting tire reimbursement from Tire Rack because I purchased their warranty service.

    Tesla towing/flat repair story

    Yesterday I found a giant bolt in my right front tire and I could hear the air hissing out. I had the 19" standard silver wheels and Pirelli Cinturato tires I bought last year as the original Goodyears had worn out. Sunday: I call Tesla's roadside assistance number. They answer immediately and...

    Vendor Tesla Model S Flow Forged Wheels - Model TSS Available in 19" & 20"

    Thanks! One of my service centers said their wheel mounting equipment (meaning mounting tires on wheels) is only for Tesla wheels and they don't want to damage non-Tesla wheels. Don't know if this is true or just a way to avoid dealing with 3rd party parts.

    Vendor Tesla Model S Flow Forged Wheels - Model TSS Available in 19" & 20"

    My service center said they wouldn't mount tires on aftermarket wheels. I asked if they would mount aftermarket wheel/tire packages on my car and they didn't really have an answer.

    Auto parking change?

    Mine almost never comes on. But when it does it's pretty accurate. Sometimes I reverse into a space and it turns on and does a good job. Is there any way to turn it on manually?

    Smashed C-Pillar window at Fleming's in Santa Clara, CA

    A friend of mine in San Fransciso said there’s a street by his house and it’s lined with broken glass. The signs and open cars don’t deter anyone. They just break the windows regardless. Because of Prop 47 the entire state let’s criminals walk every day. SF just gets the publicity. This...

    Smashed C-Pillar window at Fleming's in Santa Clara, CA

    I got an estimate from Service King in Santa Clara. About $380-ish installed. The actual glass is about $260 or $280. They called Tesla and said the glass could take 3 days to 3 months to arrive. A friend at work has a Model 3 that has the same breakage. She's getting her glass in a week. I...

    Smashed C-Pillar window at Fleming's in Santa Clara, CA

    I have friends in law enforcment and probation. They said you cbs do a lot of heinous stuff and there’s pretty much no punishment. Major drug dealer in my neighborhood got his house raised by SWAT. They found fighting pitbulls, weapons, 50+ pot plants, etc. Dude got out on bail next day and...

    Smashed C-Pillar window at Fleming's in Santa Clara, CA

    Because of Prop 47 and 57, there’s little to no punishment for these types of crimes.
