I have a black on red MYP and love it. Also a former Model S owner (2015 P90D).

If they raised the price would you send Tesla a check for the difference?

As a former owner of two 2015 Model S’s I would highly recommend a new Model 3 or Y over a used S of those vintages. We had a 85D that my wife drove and a P90D that was my primary car. I traded the P90D in for a 2022 Model Y Performance last June. I purchased the P90D new in Nov. 2015 and it had...

The Tesla paint chip repair kit is pretty nice. They include everything including a little squeegee to remove excess paint from around the repair. You’ll never make it look like new with touch up paint but I have had better luck with the Tesla kit than any I have used.

I upgraded the front footwell and door puddle lamps but not the rear hatch light. Like others, I think it is plenty bright. I used Abstract Ocean lights. They have always worked well for me.

Tesla recently added Apple Music support but that also requires Premium Connectivity.

Similar problem happened with our 2015 Model S. But the car was 5 years old. Turns out the battery heater stopped working. The car greatly reduced power and had no regen. It limped home and I was able to drive it over to the Service Center. It felt like I was driving a ’73 Pinto. It was an...

Here is the VIN decoder at the NHTSA: https://vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov/decoder/

If you own the car you can keep it. Just don‘t imply that you will be including it with the trade in.

Orders placed on or after April 28, 2022 will not receive a mobile charger. I took this screenshot in early May…

Keep in mind internet reported temperatures are not for your exact location. It is for the location of your local weather reporting station. It can be 5-10 degrees different at our house.

My Tesla CCS adapter was delivered Thursday and I tried it out at the EA chargers near my house on Friday. It worked great. I followed the adapter instructions and it was simple. After connecting the adapter to the cable I was careful to seat the adapter into the car and make sure it latched...

I had the small paint cracks in the joint on the hatch, also (red - May 2022 build). I just ran a small bead of touch up paint along part of the seam and it looks great.

If your apartment has high-speed DC charging then, yes, you would need this adapter. But that is highly unlikely. For most apartments you will only need the J1772 adapter that comes with the car.

It allows you to charge your Tesla at non-Tesla fast (DC) chargers. It could be a good backup if there are no Tesla Superchargers around or if none are available. In some cases the non-Tesla charging fees may be less than Tesla. You will need to set up an account to use those other charging...

Hmmm... I was able to order one when not logged in. It did not show up in the Tesla app while logged in on my iPad so I went to the website using Safari and was able to order it while I was not logged into the site. I had to re-enter all of the address info, credit card, etc. like I was a new...

You should be able to order via the website. Just be sure you are logged out.

It said 2 weeks from when the order is placed.

Likes: Pretty much everything. It is an amazing car. Dislikes: Seeing 2 or 3 Telsa‘s at every stoplight.

Exactly! Like most car owner forums people don’t post here when everything is great. Take me, for example. I took delivery of our 2022 MYP in early June and it has been awesome. Good build quality and the paint is beautiful with 2 minor exceptions on the passenger side A pillar. No squeaks or...

My local service center (Camarillo, Calif) will set up a loaner through Enterprise if the car will be there for more than a couple days. They are really good about it. Otherwise you will get Uber credits.

My family has been driving our Teslas into Yosemite Valley for years. You can charge in Groveland and easily make it to the Valley and back. If you are coming from the south there are superchargers at the Tenaya Lodge and the newer ones in Oakhurst. If you get nervous, there are now some...

So sorry. That sounds low but then again it does not look like the side body panels were affected. make sure to get your insurance company involved.

They were simply called "21" Grey Turbine Wheels". You could get them in silver or gray. They were a $4,500 option at the time.

They are the standard Tesla 21" wheels that came with the car when we bought it way back in 2015...

I put the 21“ Michelin Pilot All Seasons on our Model S hoping to get better tread life than the 14k miles we got with the Super Sports. They worked pretty well but were definitely noisier.

The R1S is 18 months out if you reserve one today. Rivian is not committing to an ordered price anymore. They learned their lesson. It will be a lot more than $78,500 when you get it. The dual motor version will not be available for at least 2 years.

Three weeks ago I had the MCU2 upgrade done on my 2015 P90D with the standard audio system. I think there is a significant improvement in the sound quality. I am not an audiophile but it sure sounds better to me. The EQ settings are the same as before the upgrade.

Did you confirm that “Energy Saving” is still off? It is under the “Display” settings. I just had the MCU1 repaired with the new daughterboard replacement. All of the settings were reset due to the repair. Mine was doing the same thing until I turned off Energy Saving.

Yep - they are the 72 Kw “Urban” chargers. Nice!

My sister-in-law and her husband took their brand new Model 3 up to Leavenworth from Wenatchee to investigate (and drink some beer). The site construction is well underway already: 2018-06-07_17-09-24 by Made in CA posted Jun 7, 2018 at 5:32 PM 2018-06-07_17-12-34 by Made in CA posted Jun 7...

We drove up to Yosemite from Ventura County last week and were concerned to find this offline. The trip planner in our 85D routed us up I5 to charge at Kettleman City then up 41 all the way to Yosemite. I took the bait and tried it (not that I had much choice). It actually was much faster and...

Awesome video! Thanks

It would most likely need a hardware change to add an exterior Bluetooth radio. The Bluetooth in the MS is intended for use from the interior and almost certainly would not be powerful enough to reach a phone that is 10-20 feet away.

The newset version of the center console have rear cup holders. But the price is kinda steep just to get rear cup holders. Model S Integrated Center Console

Amazing! I just charged there in mid-October and there was no sign of any construction.

Wa-whooo! Tesla has apparently opened a Service Center in Agoura, California. This is awesome for those of us in the Ventura County void. We no longer will have to go all the way to Van Nuys or Santa Barbara for Service. However - I will miss the the Tesla people in Santa Barbara. They have...

There is now a very nice Circle K store adjacent to the Napa Supercharger. It just happened to open this morning - the first time I have stopped here. It is all new and shiny with lots of nice food and stuff to drink. There is a nice patio out back to hang out and wait. The people are very...

Thanks for this information! Our May 2015 85D and Nov 2015 P90D have the same camera housing. The May 2015 car does not have the additional blacked-out area on the passenger side of the housing. I think they added that in summer 2015 as a place to mount a toll road transponder. The glass in...

This is so wrong! Is there any to get a copy of the email that Tesla sent to the Indiana Tesla owners?

This is my experience, too. My Nov. 2015 P90D does not pull the frunk closed when I place the frunk down into the latch. That would be awesome, however. I am so paranoid of rippling the hood that I only used he frunk occasionally.

We have two Model S's and two HPWC's. They are each 40amp. We are on a Time of Use electricity plan so I have the cars set to charge overnight. We don't put on too many miles each day so I can even stagger the charge start times to keep the electric load low. if you are going to keep the cars...

@Haggy - In my car's profile the uploaded documents are listed under "All Documents" but do not show up under "Uploads". Who knows why. I believe the new "Operating Model S" guide is the one you are referring to that is no longer listed. I snagged a copy so if you need it let me know. But I bet...

The current P85D and P90D, when equipped with the 21" wheels, come with staggered wheels. My P90D, delivered last November, definitely has staggered wheels and tires. Look at page 169 of the current owner's manual. I am pretty certain the suspension is the same but is adjusted differently when...

The old P85+ and the current PxxD(L), when ordered with the 21" wheels, come with staggered wheels and tires. On the current PxxD(L) the front wheels are 8.5" wide; the rears are 9.0" wide. Refer to the specs on page 169 of the current owner's manual for more info. I assume that those are same...

Charles Krug Winery just north of St. Helena gas an 80a HPWC (and a J1772). It is a great place to charge. The winery and tasting room are beautiful.

+1 We bought a 2nd MS because it is the first car in 20 years that makes me smile every time I drive it. And I only drive 3 miles to work. My ICE would barely get warmed up. Now I don't need to worry about such nonsense.

I am no expert but, based on your picture, it looks like it is only cosmetic. It does not look bent. I have seen much worse. If you confirm this you might consider getting a bottle of the silver wheel touch up paint and see how it looks. Worse case is you are out $20 for the paint and get them...

Sorry you banged up your wheels. We have 21's also and are nervous about this happening. Fortunately here in SoCal the potholes are relatively small. If it is only cosmetic damage then you could consider leaving them as-is. There are also used 21's advertised. You could get one or two to use...

Can you provide more details? Was this a one off upgrade? I just bought a P90D (Nov. 2015 build) without Ludicrous because I didn't think it was worth $10K. I assumed I would never upgrade but if it is software only for my car I might consider it at some point.
