    Review: TSportline Lowering Springs

    The springs are around $500 before shipping. The shop I went to did a lot of work for me in the past so they gave me a fairly good deal ($250) for the install

    Review: TSportline Lowering Springs

    Hm, I don't see why they would have an issue with alignment. I've gotten alignment on my BMW that was completely slammed and it was a non-issue. And thanks :)

    Review: TSportline Lowering Springs

    Hi everyone, I purchased the TSportline lowering springs about 2 months ago and finally got around to installing them about 2 weeks ago. I gave the springs 2 weeks so they could settle + allow me some time to drive on them extensively prior to leaving a review. My car is a 2014 Model S 85 with...

    15 Miles of Vampire Drain in 24 Hours - What Do I Win?

    I noticed the first 30 miles of range either vampire drain very quickly when parked, or get depleted very quickly during a drive. It feels like the first 20 miles disappear after 5-10 miles of actual driving. All mileage after that feels consistent and normal. Am I the only one who noticed this?

    How reliable is a Tesla?

    In my 1 year of ownership, my car has been bricked twice where it was un-drivable. Once at a supercharger, where it flashed me an error on the dash and did not allow me to put the car into drive. Second time my car completely bricked and I couldn't open the car door even though it was presented...

    How long did it take for your Model S to be repaired after an accident?

    I put my car into a shop the day it got hit. Got my car back 2 months later. The damage was a broken tailight, minor damage on trunk, and totally ruined rear bumper. 0 frame damage. Came out to be $19k before insurance

    Rear Wheel Drive P85 is a Missed Opportunity for Tesla

    If staggered wheels were your concern, isn't it as simple as changing to a non-staggered setup?

    Tesla to Owners. Please Don't Pimp Your Ride.

    The reason why Tesla is extra sensitive to mods are because if any accidents happen where there are fatalities, you already know all the nay-sayer news outlets that have been waiting for a flaw with Tesla will come out bashing the brand. We've also seen how cars catching fire after accidents...

    The dream comes crashing down

    Good luck! I would hope for the car to be totaled because if not, your resale value is going to be hurting. But I can understand not wanting to put a downpayment on another Tesla again. Let's hope it's not totaled and you keep the car for a long long time.

    An alternative to shifting in a Tesla...

    My thoughts exactly. I personally don't care as much about the speed or acceleration as some other factors in a car but the first thing people bring up when asking me about my car is the acceleration. I suspect if Tesla wasn't so fast, it would be remembered more along the lines of a...

    This is dangerous - for my wallet. Another should I thread.

    Based on how long you keep your cars for (8 years on the previous Tahoe), the gas savings alone could pay for this car in itself. At $500 a month on gas, you're spending $6k a year on gas. If you keep this car for 10 years, that will mean you have saved ~$60k on gas, and add that to the...

    How long does the rear defroster take to work for you?

    Mine takes about 10 mins if I am driving. Never tried it while parked. My previous cars have all cleared the windows within 2 minutes. Very annoying issue :(
