    Complete Removal of Roof Due to Loose Seal

    Yes, let them fix. Sad you have to deal with such incredibly shoddy workmanship. Shocking. I would be over the edge pissed! I have actually been unloading my equity in Tesla due to their inability to deliver on production. I expect a big dip and may then buy back in.

    Key Security Issue

    I remember, back in the day...when my Volvo key fob opened another in the parking garage when it locked mine. Fortunately, my car was still there when I got back because mine was nicer than theirs!

    You Still On Your Honeymoon?

    Almost three years in and ... STILL IN LOVE!!! This is the best car I have ever own, plain and simple.

    Blackvue vs Thinkware

    My Blackview has performed flawlessly since day one over the past 18 months.

    22" wheels anyone?

    Wow! Get ready for a flat in about 5 minutes! And a loud and bumpy ride. You're talking a profile of 2" or slightly less on a 4,600# car. Probably air pressure close to 50, easy. And expect your tread to last for just about nothing. I have 21's on my RWD and can't get more then 9K out of...

    Vendor Got a ticket violation and now you need a front license plate holder? Don’t drill!

    Nope! I refuse. I have never gotten a ticket, amazingly. I have not had a front plate in 30+ years. And I ain't ever doin' it.

    Model S 70 to 75 Battery Up was a ripoff

    Yeah, I wouldn't have gone for it. In my 3 years, 10-15-20 miles really doesn't make a difference to me. I rarely used to run my ICE that low either. Sorry you got so little for the money. I think that's bush league on Tesla's part to charge so much for essentially nothing.

    Finally brought my Model S in for service

    I have had similar waits. But they have always taken very good care of me. Usually I get a similar model car as a loaner. I did get an ICE once, at which I cringed. But I understood. I got a Fusion, which I had never driven, so at least it was interesting. Though it completely reinforced...

    My silky smooth 320 mile road trip with almost 100% AP control

    Confused. I think @calisnow 's request is completely reasonable. I agree that the system is not there yet. But I applaud Tesla for allowing us to stress test it. Unfortunately, we have seen a tragic death of one who used the system ignorantly. He paid the ultimate price for it in Florida...

    My silky smooth 320 mile road trip with almost 100% AP control

    It's been 30 years since I was at Cold Spring Tavern. Great memories and glad it's still there. And oh how I miss living Santa Barbara! But Santa Cruz ain't bad. Thanks for the memory!

    Concidering CPO P85+

    I have a P85+ as noted below. I F-----g love this car! I really do. The only thing I have ever had to worry about is trashing my tires because there is so much torque going to only 2 wheels. My rear tires have never gotten past 10K mi. So that is a concern. But I bought a RWD because I...

    Rear ended for second time in 4 months, need some advice

    Oh Sh-t. That's not good. You might want to sage the car and yourself. That's not good. That's what we do in CA. I'm sorry to hear about it and I actually do DO exactly that. Works for me.

    AP1 and rain

    I've only had one tine that AP1 said it could not engage due to rain. I think she was having a bad hair day because she was doing fine in heavier rain the day before...lane change and all.

    Reus Audio Upgrade

    There are quite a few helpful threads on this topic and, as I recall, from peeps in the LA area. So do a search and I am sure you'll find what you are looking for. Good luck and have fun! I have heard nothing but great things about Reus.

    Michelin Super Sport Acoustic or Contisilent for 21"staggered wheels?

    The Michi's are loud as heck. I have run Hankooks, which handle really well, but are loud. No louder that Michi's, IMO. I am now at the point of trying the Silents. They are 2X the price, which I hate. But the car is just too loud for my taste. So I will give them a try.

    Guys.. don't skip annual inspection.

    Preventive maintenance is everything WITH everything! Plain and simple. I always do it and it has always paid off for me.

    Tesla Cubby by Norm review

    So happy to read your review. Norm sent me, free of charge with no niggling by me, the iPhone 6+ holder and it worked perfectly in just about 30 seconds. He actually reached out to me based on a comment I made on TMC. How nice is that? I have coming my way the cubby in black/red (can't...

    How to prevent the sunlights effectively?

    You have all that humidity, which is insufferable. I was just in the Emirates and it was 114 deg F and 95% humidity. Yikes! Thank goodness I live on California Coast. 65F and no humidity. Ha!

    How to prevent the sunlights effectively?

    It really isn't. I never feel heat on my head when driving. The tint works quite well. I got the shades mainly because of my OCD about heat and getting into a hot car. Simply cannot stand it. What I find to be amazing is that I can turn my A/C on from my phone perhaps 2-3 minutes before I...

    What are the must have things for "Camping Mode" in Model S

    Doesn't RemoteS do this in the deeper menus? I haven't had the optty to use it, but I thought it did. Fortunately, camping mode uses so little of the battery that you don't need to be plugged in. Check out Bjorn's vids. he has figured all of this out.

    Bumper scratches

    I am the most obsessive parker ever. When my passengers complain, I invite them to walk! I hope to not jinx myself, but after 3 years, not one ding. Only one superficial rub mark that did take quite some time to remove. I insist on ONLY Princess parking for my girl. #overthetop!

    How to prevent the sunlights effectively?

    And they work like a charm. I use them every summer and remove in the cooler months. I use two pano roof and one rear hatch. However, I have not had to use them this summer. I has been a bit cooler.

    Pleather for all...

    My real issue with this is that I do not want to breathe the off gassing of all those petro chems. Yes, leather has some too. But they seem to dissipate much faster. And you know what? All those animals are being sacrificed to be eaten. This is just the byproduct. Might as well use it...

    Tesla starts delivering 85 kWh batteries software locked to 75Kwh in its cars

    I got my car in 10-14 and I am really happy the 85 battery is still relevant! I thought I would have been left in the dust long ago. It seems like the 85 will be the mainstream battery for a while. That'll help my resale for my upgrade. I hope!

    Answer phone or close roof.

    Isn't it nice to have such first world problems?!? I thank goodness that these are the things that I worry about, as opposed to 99.9% of the planet.

    Voice commands not being accepted

    It is known to do that. Tesla's voice recognition is really pretty terrible. It recognises very few things and is mostly wrong on the initial attempt. And it is very sensitive to loud road surfaces.

    Unusual S key fob

    Aside from the James Bond Ejection Feature, it's an early fob that lost it's too flimsy cover that made it look like ours. They make them better these days...Like the car.;)

    Some days I feel like this ..

    AP1. No regrets. I have 3 years of total bliss that would not have had if I waited. And AP1 is as far as I am willing to go right now. Autonomous will change 10 times over before it goes live. I'm good for now!

    Auto Pilot doesn't seem quite ready for prime time

    Sounds like you're calling every Tesla owner a sucker. I don't read it that way.

    Auto Pilot doesn't seem quite ready for prime time

    YOU PEOPLE? Really? And get your facts right. Tesla is universally recognized as way ahead of everybody else. GM cruise is nowhere and not even released. Nissan is still in testing mode. And I don't care about future promises. I care about what has been delivered today.

    Auto Pilot doesn't seem quite ready for prime time

    I get what you are saying. But I think the social acceptance of this is going to be a big hurdle, at least in the US. I also honestly wonder how much AI will be needed to deal the notoriously unpredictable humans. We do an awful lot of stupid things on the road. The AI will need to be able...

    Anyone know how to remove this scratch?

    That will be tough one. Much harder than pulling a scratch out of paint. Take it very slowly. It could take an hour or so of buffing. Not sure I agree with Neverdull. That is quite abrasive. I used to use on my boat with "real" chrome back in the day. Tesla handles are not the good old...

    Homelink issue

    I always wait for my door to close. I have had times when it reversed for whatever issue (not the Tesla) and then have left my house totally exposed. I hate waiting, but it really is only 10 seconds. First world problem!! I have only had the "double click" problem once in 3 years. I would...
