    X-Care Experiences

    IMHO I would not ask them to work with a 3rd party warranty company. I would act like I WAS PAYING and then submit docs to x-care. IMHO. Brent can probably shed light on the process. M

    Tesla Service Inspection

    My 2020 Tesla MSP has now been in service for over 3 years. I only drive it 2500 miles a year but I would like to have the tires rotated and a good vehicle inspection. My question is what do I ask for in my Tesla App? Service Inspection? M

    DIY Tire Rotation Ideas

    I would hesitant to change to X rotate if Manufacture did not recommend it. Of course I have Murphy on my back and a dark cloud above. Car is heavy and changing tire direction of rotation could impact an already delicate tire situation. IMHO M

    DIY Tire Rotation Ideas

    Good info. Where did you guys find that Tesla recommends the X pattern rotation. All I could find on my 2020 Model S Performance was to rotate front to back on non-staggered tires. Link Please? M

    Free Supercharging Still Worth It?

    Wow they gave us a Model 3 loaner 1 1/2 years ago and neither my wife or I liked it in anyway. Would not own it for any price. Hope the new one is better! M

    Free Supercharging Still Worth It?

    My MSP battery gets 352 miles per full 100% charge. Charger noted cost was $.51 per kWh or $51 for a theoretical 100% charge. That is $.145 per mile or like 28 miles per gallon. My home charger costs me $.195 per kWh fully loaded with all the crap fees and such. That works out to 73 mpg...

    Well that was a half joke... Was watching a YOUTUBE and Tesla is no longer putting homelink on some models of Teslas. Charging $300 to add. Also no charger anymore etc...$$$ Probably more of a business plan I guess. Some are wondering if they are going to take away the FSD some of us paid...

    Well we stopped by the Tesla Superchargers in Crestview Florida like we normally do every other week. Plugged in to the same stall we usually get. MSP was totally prepped for the charging. Told my wife that this should be excellent because 7 of the 8 stalls were vacant. Then the one guy...

    Tesla Paint is Horrible 2023 Model S

    Paint on my 2020 MSP was not good either so it is not something new to 2023. Material under paint was the major complaint on Midnight Silver Metallic vehicle. Apparently, clean room painting over debris is common. Tesla had no interest is fixing because they would have just offered the...
