Is there a website or other venue to sell a used tesla? My 2015 85D is coming up on end of its 3-year lease and I am wondering the value and possibility of selling it. Thanks Mike

So I got into my 85D today after a 2 hour meeting. The dashboard screen was completely black. So I did a reset (holding down both thumb wheels). After the reset the dash screen was bright white. I could see the normal on-screen items "behind" the white screen. Kind of like the screen was...

I tried to read all 10,000,0000 posts about v7...really I did. :-) I did not see much speculation or information about V7 and any navigation updates. Are there any? Anything significant? Will we have to wait until V7.1 for USABLE navigation and anti-range anxiety updates? Mike

Talking with a friend today about my beautiful Tesla and she was asking a lot of good questions about the car. Then she asked "Because it is all electric, is it harder to steal?" Things like how to "hot wire" the car, unlock the door without the keyfob etc. I had no idea how to answer the...

Went to get into my car this afternoon and the handles would not present themselves. I hit unlock on the fob a couple times....still not luck. Thought about it for a few seconds and hit unlock on the fob again and the doors unlocked. Weird I thought, but what ever. I get in the car and press...

oops. posted in wrong area...ment to put in the "User interface" section. Any way to move it? So I have read all about the issues with the nav system and the crazy routing to superchargers. Are there any issues with the nav system without adding in the charging stops? I assume it works fine-...

So what is this event all about from the perspective of an attendee? The website is a bit lacking on details: https://driveelectricweek.org/event.php?eventid=437 Are there vendors? Many people? Just a few people who already have an EV? I live close to Long Beach and am home the weekend of...

My friend and I got the same color cars a couple weeks apart. Love the blue color!!

So I initiated the update....I was on .251 The screen said it will take 1 hour and 40 minutes. Is that time estimate pretty accurate? Should I stay a way from the car for that period of time? i.e. would opening and closing the door and touching the screen potentially delay the install?

While on a trip, i.e. navigation is working.....if you look at the trip tab of the energy app, there are two lines, a grey line and a green line. I know they have something to do with the expected battery charge left upon arrival.....But what is the difference between the two lines? Thanks Mike

There is a lot of talk about V7 coming "soon" and all of the auto pilot features that may be there. What about something a lot simpler and used every day, like getting good navigation routes from point A to point B via multiple super chargers without the crazy route detours? Will that be in...

I just received the floor mats from Tesla and the installation instructions tells you to screw in a piece to hold the mat in place. This piece is supposed to screw right into the carpet/floor of the car. Has anybody done this? I set the floor mat in place and it seems pretty secure. I...

Today marks my 2 week anniversary of having my car. Go out to the garage this AM and there is a warning message. "Car needs Service" "12 volt batter low" Car will not go into gear. Call service and they are bringing me a loaner car and a flatbed truck to take the car into the shop. Based...

Figured out my own answer...trying to figure out how to delete this thread

Love my new 85D. So many cool features and so much to learn. Today was another learning experience. Wife and I drive to store....drop wife off in front so she could run inside super quick. I drive once around the parking lot and pick her up. Of course the door handles have retracted. How...

When I use the web interface in my Model S I type in www.plugshre.com and it automatically changes to tesla.plugshre.com. Why and what is the difference?

Sorry if this has been answered before, but the search function here does not work very well (at least for me!). Driving down the road today and Slacker had a problem loading the next track....then the entire console froze. I could not do anything from the touch screen. Thanks to this forum, I...

So I am playing around with EV trip planner and have a basic question about what the "steps" column means. As I plan a trip here is part of the output: ((((seems cut and paste does not work)))))) Is this implying that I should be stopping and charging for 38 minutes at the Hawthorne location...

Ordered my 85d May 31. confirmed June 6 in production queue June 7 then I became obsessed. :-) Checking my tesla site many times every day. Finally yesterday around 4:00 pm it moved to 'being assembled.' This morning I checked about 5:00 am. Still being assembled. Checked at 8:30 am......it...

I have my current insurance with AAA here in Southern California. I called and asked about insurance for my soon to be delivered 85D. My Lexus 2009 LS460 costs me $1,062 a year for insurance. The same coverage on the Tesla is quoted at $3,521. Wow! Plus AAA does not offer gap insurance...

More planning for the arrival of my new baby. I read on the forums here that it is a good idea to have a card (no monthly fee plan) in case you ever need to charge away from home and the superchargers. I have seen charge stations from NRG and Chargpoint. Are there others? Or those the most...

So what is the status of updates for the trip planner software? Seems like the threads I have found here all talk about the software is in beta mode and causes a lot of crazy re-routing when it is really not needed. Most reviews say to not bother using the trip planner, or know the area well...

Hi everyone- I have just ordered my Tesla 85D!!!! Can not wait for it to arrive. I am really digging into the charging research now and planning some trips. I need some help with understanding a lot of the posts here. Can someone clarify what a L2 charger? What is a chademo...

So I did it today...ordered my new baby! Metallic blue, black next gen seats, black alcatera liner, premium interior, auto, pano roof. Ordering this car was the easiest car buying experience I have ever had- BY FAR! Wow, what a pleasure to buy a car from Tesla. Waiting for my new car is going...

Dual Chargers are only helpful at home using the wall charger, correct? I.e. You will get the same charge rate at a supercharger weather you have single or dual chargers on the car..... Thanks, Mike

Hi there! First time using this site, so maybe I am doing something wrong.... https://www.evtripplanner.com Planning a trip from Huntington Beach, CA (92649) to San Francisco, Ca. Trip lanner has me going 48 miles to a Hawthorne supercharger, then onto the Tejon Ranch SC. (Tejon Ranch is in...

I looked at a deep blue metallic 85D today....Love the color! Kind of between the bright red and the dark black. I am going to get the upgraded seats and the premium interior. I can not decide between black or tan for the interior. Anyone have pictures of the interior with tan seats? The...

Hello Everyone! I am new here. I did a search for this question before asking here, but did not have any luck finding an answer. So I hope I am not repeating a question already asked. I am seriously considering a model S. I currently drive a Lexus LS460 and one of the things I love about my...
