Taycan has a 2-speed gearbox which gives a slight gear shift feeling when accelerating. Gives me that connected feeling I was missing with the tesla. There are obviously pro's and con's to this approach but I like it. Same with sport sound. It was a $600 gimmicky mp3 option that just pumps the...

I have a 2022 Tacan 4S. EPA range 230 miles. Real world range (drive with a lead foot) - 275 miles on the performance (93 kw) battery. Never miss my model S. The gears and sport sound along with handling are beyond this world. I gave up my free supercharging and connectivity. Do not regret a...

Car died in garage when charging overnight. Got an update from SC that HV battery is dead (after 5 years). They’re replacing and will take 3 weeks to get the car back. Apparently factory did not hook up some drainage hose from the frunk properly and it had been dripping water over the battery...

As we’re talking here my 2018 model S decided to die on me yesterday. Everything opens except the IC screen. Possibly the 12v battery is dead but nothing happened when I tried to use an external battery. Roadside was useless. Asked me to call service center. SC asked me to call roadside. After...

EQS is definitely new and there have been issues (esp with the hyper screen, or some other electrical gremlins). Over here in orlando, I had the chance (in June 2023) to lease a base EQS 450 for $750/month for 12k miles/year for 2 years. Almost bit the bullet but decided to hold off until the...

I have a 2018 100D model S and a 2022 Taycan 4S. I understand there are some upgrades to the suspension in the plaid. I test drove a plaid model X a few weeks ago. I would take a Taycan over Tesla any day of the week. Ride quality and build quality is beyond comparison. I charge mostly at home...

OP here. Sometimes the need for a loaner is due to childcare obligations. I am fortunate enough to have 3 cars (will be soon selling the Tesla- so will be down to 2 cars). When the Tesla is in service for something mundane and takes 3-5 days before the Service center even starts working on it, I...

I have a 2018 Tesla Model S 100D for sale. Switched to Taycan for now. Will return to brand in a few years. Asking $65K Multi-coat red Premium sound Enhanced Autopilot AP 2.5 38,000 miles (Currently just under 38K) 19" wheels. Michelin Pilot 4 all seasons with about 10K miles on them. Have FUSC...

Good to know. I personally submitted the cancellation form at the service center so I don’t have an email trail but I will take a screen shot of the service message chats that state the ESA cancellation form was submitted. Do you remember how long it took to receive your refund?

I’m trading it in at carmax. They don’t care about the added value for ESA. Selling privately is too much of a hassle with my schedule.

I have a 2018 Model S 100D that I'm going to sell soon. Bought the ESA for peace of mind but now I do not need it. Paid close to $5700 (after taxes) just over a month ago. Tesla is making it deliberately hard to cancel anything. The ESA page on Tesla website mentions that I have to reach out to...

My car is currently in for the ANA6 recall which updates the PCM (infotainment) to the latest version (matching the 2023 model year). So they are making some progress with software updates. From what I can gather, this update might enable real OTA updates in the future. The current model...

I would agree with every post here. Our model S has never stranded us in the middle of the road but I can say that for most other cars I've owned. It does not have any major electric gremlins. Build quality has improved significantly since I bought mine in 2018 but still not par with true luxury...

You’ll be sorely disappointed with Tesla service. That’s pretty much my only advice to you. If this is going to be your kid mover, think about the fact that Tesla does not give out loaners for service visits or in the likely event of build quality issues needing repairs. Chances are still...
