A tough situation, but see if you can get them to confirm *in writing* that they will (a) respect the original financial terms when the replacement car becomes available and (b) provide a "date certain" after which they will refund the payment (if you want that as an option). The "in writing"...

Your wife is very pretty...

I was replying to @ggr 's comment - until this gets fixed or patched (e.g., adding a requirement for a PIN or app intervention to add a key card), don't give them your car if you're concerned about this.

Rule 0: Don't give a valet your key card...

When did you get yours? It's working fine in my March build LR using the same microSD card I've been using in my pre-AP 2014. I only had to buy a USB-C/microSD adapter to fit the console USB-C sockets.

The Supercharger is located as in the second picture, in the southeast corner. First time I used the SuC, I entered at the southwest corner and YOLO'd my way around and through the traffic cones that are used to guide traffic into the southeast entrance. The second time, I came from eastbound...

I charged there twice earlier this month. Although they were doing land office business both times, I didn't have any particular difficulty getting into or out of the lot.

A restorative for our vapor-locked compadres: "Why does the left haste Elon Musk? It’s simple, really: Because he can’t be controlled, and because he doesn’t tolerate BS." The left hates Elon Musk because he’s a twin threat that doesn’t tolerate BS

"In 2013, Fetterman pursued a man and pulled a shotgun on him because he wrongly believed the man, who turned out to be a Black jogger, had been involved in a shooting. While the incident has long loomed over Fetterman’s campaign, it’s been particularly amplified by his opponents as the May 17...

"Dear S & P Board, Under the circumstances, Tesla Motors requests that its stock and other securities be removed from S & P products immediately. We plan to seek out other, more relevant rating companies. Elon Musk "

Mike button -> "show energy" (Mike button -> "show navigation" to go back to map)

A palm frond caused a sidewall puncture on my right front snow tire on a trip to Houston. Timing was an issue - we were planning to drive back north the next day - and there were (obviously) no Pirelli snow tires to be found in Houston. Discount Tire had absolutely no objection to replacing it...

The manual for our pasta drying rack, with the parts. Yes, I read it...

Can't think of any off hand that interned all citizens of a given ethnicity, although both Canada and the United States (unforgivably) interned citizens of Japanese descent who lived within a certain distance of their respective Pacific coasts. Notably, Hawaiian citizens of Japanese descent...

Elon: "The corporation (Twitter) needs to reduce staffing costs and increase freedom of speech!" Board (rolling eyes): "We've looked at that repeatedly, and there's just no way to do both!" Elon: "Here's a list of accounts to restore."

A split?

Either summon or shove'em... the latter procedure having been seen in earlier videos.

This exact sort of accident resulted in one of the first heavily-publicized Model S battery module fires. After it happened, Tesla added titanium plate armor to the front underside of the original Model S pack to reduce the risk of penetration damage to the battery cells that caused thermal...

"6. Keep records indefinitely if you file a fraudulent return." Bwah-hah-hah...

My 2022 Model S was delivered on March 4, and the media player sees and works perfectly with a USB-C/microSD adapter plugged into the center console socket. The glove box USB-A socket has the Tesla 128GB thumb drive in it. My 2014 P85's center console USB slots also worked this way. A Model...

The center console is USB-C, so I just bought a microSD adapter in that flavor and swapped in the card. It works fine. C356 Type-C MicroSD Card Reader... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YGXR8N3?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

My 3/4/2022 delivery was updated to 2022.8.2 yesterday. I changed the update option to 'Advance' before leaving the SC parking lot, to no apparent effect. Then, a couple of days ago, I just mashed that option back and forth several times. I have no idea whether that triggered the update, but...

Exactly what I did, and the advisor was able to get it sorted out the next business day. FWIW, I provided the other Tesla account's user id in a text note on the trouble ticket. I don't know if the advisor forced that user id into the system or just "activated" the pending invitation...

Good to hear, as I've run into the same error. I'd done this successfully for another driver a year ago using the web page procedure, so I was really surprised to get that error dialog when I did it from within the iOS app. It was doubly unuseful that all of the help links (in-car and web...

Just a follow-up to you and other Michigan buyers - check the registration fee on your Motor Vehicle Purchase Agreement to make sure that it accounts correctly for the state practice of scheduling registration renewal on the owner's birthday and not date of sale. In my case, they charged $621...

Construction is expensive, but a good view...

Thanks! Yes, I got all seasons -- I (very politely) mentioned that they'd be storing the car in GR if I saw summers on it... Some of the service guys are Yoopers (or at least Yooper-familiar), so they understood.

A bit west of Harbor Springs...

No problem - it's 4720. It doesn't have the new lights. Edit: And I now see the clamor of responses about the lights... :D

RN1152, EDD 4/1-4/30, and then... BOOM! Red/black/19" LR, VIN 472, built date 2/11/22... and picked up yesterday at the Grand Rapids, MI SC. Beautiful build, missing only the package shelf. Plenty of RTFM needed to transition from our pre-AP P85, but what a pleasure to drive!

Same here - three 5-digit front-end "rearrangements" (Prius, light pole, deer) in eight years, all covered by their or my State Farm insurance, and no increase in premium resulting from the claims.

Same here... EDD for my RN1152 was pushed on Thursday from late March to April 1-30 (grumbles, shrugs) and then I got THE CALL the next day about my Red/Black/19 which was already on the train to Chicago! Makes sense to assume that someone else's loss is my gain. Glad this happened...

These "generic" sensors work in my early 2014 P85 that had received the newer Continental TPMS upgrade. The tire store had to program them during install so that they know what sort of system they're talking to. Cost me $50/each.

Chuckle - yeah, here's another Michigan guy who had that conversation in early December with an EDD range now of 3/20-3/31. I also made it clear that my expectations were that the car have all-weather tires and be impeccable, the latter because it's roughly an 8-hour round trip to the Service...

Seems like the better argument here "to support the mission" would have been to just explain to him that you're a conservative Republican who works in the oil industry, voted for Trump twice, and bought your Tesla because it's a shiat-hot supercar that also hauls groceries and lumber. What do...

Same problem with my '14 S in northern MI - when there's a lot of snow on the road, I use a poking stick* to clear the wheel wells before I put it in the garage. * a short piece of 1x2 with a point at one end

Same here. I then discovered, to my considerable regret, that Estes' recommendation for firing four C6-5 motors simultaneously (a paperclip "buss bar" for the igniters) was somewhat speculative.

An interesting essay today by Mark Judge about the willingness of people to put up with the intensity of difficult, brilliant leaders. 'Whiplash' and what the Federalist got wrong about masculinity

A Chinese antisatellite test in 2007 created a debris cloud that extended "... from less than 125 miles (200 kilometers) to more than 2,292 miles (3,850 kilometers), encompassing all of low Earth orbit" with the number of debris pieces larger than 4" ranging above 10,000. Despite all the great...

I can't be the only one seeing this...

I get squeaks from the small metal clip at the front center of the sunroof on my '14 P85. The Service Centers fixed it by applying layers of UHMW "anti-squeak tape" on the top surface of the clip, but it wears out eventually. After the last tech showed me what to do, I bought a roll of the tape...

The 2016 Service Bulletin for the retrofit that I referred to is attached. It emphasizes that the retrofit should be done "Only ... when performing a customer-pay retrofit, or when instructed to do so by another document."

Not to mention the ongoing issue that when light rail and other vehicles “share” the road grade, light rail’s definition of sharing resembles a 2 year old’s…

Thanks (sigh) :(

Trying to get this done for my mid-March 2014 P85, and the SC seems to be having some difficulty getting the harness. The Service bulletin says that some cars were built with connectors on the car’s RH built-in wiring harness that eliminate the need for the (weird) TPMS retrofit harness. I’d...

Three episodes on my 2014 Model S — Prius, light pole, deer, all on the front end — all insured by State Farm, and no issues beyond waiting for parts for any of them. The Prius hit me two months after I got the car and was also a State Farm customer - SF covered the damages and even paid off my...
