    Advice Needed: Convincing Husband to Go Tesla

    The only problem i have is the service. Very poor out here in terms of access. in terms of issues I have had one motor replacement under warranty and now my car is no longer covered and the MCU (big screen) is dead and that will cost another 1500-2500. kind of an issue but prob no worse than...

    50 amp circuit only charging at 30amps with juice box

    Thanks, problem went away when i took the juicebox offline but is now back. Tesla car charger does 40 amps all day so im pretty sure it is the juicebox, either wiring internal to the juicebox or some software glitch, i didnt know there was a setting in the juicebox software, i will check and...

    Sound System Upgrade

    According to the sources I read (and my installer) there is no full spectrum sound source on the stock system. It has a built in rolloff at 60 hz. My system uses a direct 96K AMAS bluetooth reciever into the DSP (both Mosconi) which is light years better sounding than the tesla stock or HF system.

    Sound System Upgrade

    Tesla uses CHEAP paper cones and on the stock (or HF utilizes a 60hz rolloff which virtually kills the bass which is a big part of the reason why it sounds so poor However you are quite lucky to be in the bay area. Take a trip to Milpitas and visit Simplicity in Sound, Bing and Jesse lterally...

    "Normal" Motor noise claims Tesla Service

    Well, i did ask about other work being done and SA said all parts replaced out of warranty are 90 days. I am assuming that in warranty replacement would at least go to original warranty date. Im guessing Elons abandonment of the model S means they will be a lot stingier with motor replacement

    "Normal" Motor noise claims Tesla Service

    where did I say "its not that bad"? THEY said its "Normal" which it clearly is not based on the last motor I had and every other tesla I have heard. To me its bad from both the sound standpoint and that it portends another new motor in the future. Tesla bets that it will be out of the 8 year...

    "Normal" Motor noise claims Tesla Service

    Just took my car in for a deceleration whine from almost exactly 25mph (sounds a bit like a piccalo pete firework on low volume) no whine on acceleration or at any other time. I got a new motor and axles a while back and the new motor has been making this sound since I got it back. Previous...

    2016 Model S first of the 2nd gen AP cars (November 2016 delivery). Last June my steering wheel controls stopped working (under warranty) took the car in under warranty and they said they replaced the "steering wheel control module" when I asked what that was they said it was the control...

    Good luck trying to schedule service...

    Never had the option for mobile service, i guess here in the "home" of tesla they feel that there are a plethora of service centers so no mobile needed. even with the half dozen tesla service centers in the area they are ALL booked out for AT LEAST a month. then when you come in they quickly...

    Good luck trying to schedule service...

    You can only do this from the app on your phone now. will ask you for "preferred address" for service center and then nothing happens. even if you type in exact address. Just another example of the CRAP service that will continue to get worse as the user base expands. Hopefully Tesla gets...

    Tesla now using deep neural net for auto wipers (2019.40)

    Oh Look More magical thinking...learning requires feedback...there is NO FEEDBACK MECHANISM Duh it doesnt get better over time it just continues to suck. unless it is having you manually active wipers and using that to detemine what is acceptable then its not doing S--t. 2 billion picture of...

    Should I return the Model X?

    if you bough the car for FSD or any of the automated driving features then quit now,. A cursory read of this forum or any other would convince you that it smoke and mirrors (along with a lot of other promised "features") I bought my car for the performance, comfort and convenience of superchargers

    Manual Transmission / Stick Drivers

    Yes I was a manual driver for my entire life and hated the IDEA of automatic transmission until i drove a tesla. Three major issue made me hate automatic transmissions were 1) always in the wrong gear 2)the long wait for the downshift and 3) no engine braking. Telsa solved all three of these...

    What would make you buy a non Tesla electric vehicle?

    To be specific, as your car breaks you will learn that the service centers are quite busy and my car has been in at least 8-9 times to three different service centers and NEVER have I gotten it back in less than a week. This was fine when loaners were available but Tesla is phasing the loaners...

    Service Center Giving Me A Headache!

    Welcome to the Achilles heel of tesla and the major reason they could fail. cant tell you the attitude issues Ive seen, most are documented here in posts. Best advice is just keep bringing the car back to them even for the same thing they cannot replicate. Eventually they will wear down and...

    Anyone have decel whine from 25mph down?

    Got my car back from service where they replaced my motor and axles (or so they say) for a roaring sound that was occurring from 60mph on up. that was solved but now replaced by hi pitched whine from EXACTLY 25mph down (kinda feels like it is some system issue). Service center says they "cant...
