    Tesla Orlando claiming front license plate mounts can no longer be removed?!?

    Yep that's exactly why I wanted them to remove it. As absurd as it is, a service rep just showed us the internal memo / email: As of January 12, 2022 is Tesla corporate policy that dealerships shall no longer remove front license plate mounts. The race between tesla-car-improvements and...

    Tesla Orlando claiming front license plate mounts can no longer be removed?!?

    Hi All - I've been a multi-Tesla owner since the original Roadster... feeling the decline of Tesla service since 2009! The latest absurdity: Our brand-new Plaid Model S was delivered with a front license plate holder. Front license plates are not used in Florida. We made it clear at pick-up...

    Good SF Bay Area shop for suspension work

    Suspension Performance Eric did upgraded my Tesla Roadster suspension and brakes for the Refuel time trials. He designed the original Elise suspension while working at Lotus. Great guy and understands these cars very well. He's in Scotts Valley now.

    Roadster reservations

    Just another datapoint: I got the same "could take 5 days story" when I called. I wired funds at 9am Friday EST, and my status on tesla.com changed to confirmed sometime Tuesday before 11 AM EST.

    PowerWall 2 "stacking" limited to 6 units?

    Hi All - I had my site audit last week. I just got a call saying they can't install the 9 PowerWall 2 units I ordered because "due to a limitation in the Tesla energy gateway, a maximum of 6 PowerWall units can be installed" The web site still says "Installs easily on the wall, or stack up...

    Tire has nail... Tesla says they can't replace it until NOVEMBER?

    Hi all - Our Model X managed to get a nail in a rear tire. Tesla says they have no appointments available to replace the tire until November. Seriously? It looks like this is a custom tire for the Model X as I can't find it in stock anywhere: Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 285/35R22 106W...

    Tesla Roadster - new key needs what ???

    Hi Roadsterfolk - So I've misplaced my key for my 2008 Tesla Roadster Sport. I'm sure it will turn up at the house some month, but in the meantime I'd like to drive it. Called Tesla (San Rafael) today about getting a new key. They had to get my number to call me back so they could research...

    Model S "Subframe adjustment"

    That is certainly my opinion (both on cause and cost); but I would love to hear from some more TMC folks on this one . . .

    Model S "Subframe adjustment"

    Hi - a question for the forum: My Model S was just at the body shop to have very minor paint/plastic damage repaired (a victim of the pre-creep mode profile fix; i am used to creep mode off, my wife drove the car and turned creep mode on, and that setting didn't stay with the driver profile...

    Dangly weight tied to steering wheel to fool autopilot that you're paying attention?

    I just drove for over three hours (ok, the car just drove for over three hours) and it asked me to put my hands on the wheel three times total. There is no nag.

    Roadster 1.5 prices if there is no 3.0 upgrade

    Just so I make sure I'm not missing anything, when folks refer to the "Roadster 3.0 page" are you talking about the blog page? Roadster 3.0 | Tesla Motors I still haven't seen anything about ordering, prices, specifications, pictures, etc - even though the blog said ordering would start in...
