Charge the 12v battery to make the car undead. After Tesla assigns the car to your account, you can unlock the car, drive the car,... via the app. edit: Oops I overlooked the lack of 3g connectivity. The 2 comments below sound like solid advice.

I don't think towing it straight to Tesla is going to do any good since you don't have an appointment and the car isn't in your name. You can't make an appointment for the car since it's not in your Tesla account. It won't be in your account until after you submit ownership papers to Tesla. I...

You already know 14 is the year. L means it was built in December.

Which normal non EV tires are you using and what size are they?

Buy a 12v compressor and a plug kit.

Who does Tesla Insurance use for rental cars in SF Bay Area?

In most states your new car is covered for X number of days by your current insurer before you have to put it on a policy. Showing you have coverage on your other cars is proof of insurance.

I didn't experience or realize the benefits of tinted windows until I was an adult. I put the tint on to help protect the interior of my car and my skin from the UV rays. I am not fair skinned, I tan easily but I can feel my face get hot when I'm in cars that don't have tint. And my optometrist...

Since everything else works, I wonder if your fob is the problem. Do you have another fob to compare it to?

Not so simple. Registration fees are based on: Your vehicle type (auto, motorcycle, etc.). Your vehicle’s purchase price or declared value. Dates (for example, the date you purchased your vehicle, or the date your vehicle entered California). The city and/or county you live in. The city and/or...

If OP had Scan My Tesla, or other similar app, they would be able to see which battery was installed, right?

You bought your car when with how many miles?

I don't know if that spot and others like it, meet the requirements to be a real accessible parking space. Accessible parking spaces must be located on the shortest accessible route to the accessible entrance. And they are supposed to have an accessible aisle with diagonal lines to prevent...

The service manager will cave and do the right thing only because you've shown to be an informed customer. What happens to customers that don't know any better or didn't catch the service center's "error"?

Tell them that. They can easily find out which shop the mobile guy is based out of.

It broke at how many miles?

I had similar problem, no call back or email replies when I needed to get reimbursed for some window tinting. Contact the California Department of Insurance You can talk to them in person, they have an Oakland Office. 1901 Harrison St, Oakland, CA 94612 Phone: (800) 967-9331...

I just spent 1.5hrs talking to a Field Officer from the California Bureau of Automotive Repair and he said repair shops are supposed to make it clear on the invoice what the customer is asking for. He told me consumers can submit any complaint, big or small and he will go out and investigate...

It would be great if we all filed a complaint with our state's Automotive Repair board. They will investigate every complaint no matter how big or small. Even though it is a Tesla shop, not all Tesla shops are ran that way. Goto a different shop that is ran better. That's what my Field Officer...

I just spoke to a Field Officer from my state's (California) Bureau Of Automotive Repair and he was extremely helpful. He told me I can file complaints that are not an actual violation of any law ex. "Service Writer refused to give me the name of his manager or refused to let me see his...

What size are your summer wheels and how much extra poke (mm), did the -.8 give you?

So you paid it and you now have your car back but it's with a 70 pack. Clear case of fraud, you paid for an 85 but they installed a 70. Contact the Ohio Board of Motor Vehicle Repair and tell them your situation. They should be able to tell you your options...

Dang, look at the Top Stories... so many killings

It's definitely worse now. Grocery store employees used to stop people from stealing carts of food. Now they are instructed to let them go after 2 employees were shot (1 died) in separate incidents last year. https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/sj-safeway-worker-shooting-arrest/2981255/...

Clear case of fraud. @tjv85, you gotta file that complaint with your Attorney General. If you don't do it, they're going to keep doing it to other customers.

Save a copy of the estimate and file a complaint with BAR. I believe Tesla already broke the law by not having a detailed estimate. https://www.dca.ca.gov/webapps/bar/complaints.php After this, do you feel comfortable taking your car to Tesla?

Typical.

I've gone to both. Both were fine. The independent was far easier to deal with when it came to follow up repairs/adjustments.

As with any used car purchase, you should first know what the common problems are for the car you looking at then ask the owner if they already fixed them. My car, that I've owned since 2018, the drive unit was replaced last year and the AC compressor the year before that. Both under warranty...

Since when are new Plaids cheaper than fixing an older S? If you are going to compare Model S to other cars, you should at least compare them to the similar cars in its price range/class like a BMW, Lexus, Mercedes... As with any new or used car purchase they need to do their homework.

I don't think "inspection" for $301 is sufficient. For that $301, are they checking seat heater temps or motor seals??? Get them to list it.

Just like an invoice from an ICE shop, have them list what they are going to inspect and how much time it takes each one. By California law every invoice must have it. Know Your Rights When taking your vehicle to the shop for repairs or service, it’s important to know your rights. Under...

Custom Alignment in Mountain View. They are a race shop so it's a little bit more expensive than normal. I have been taking my 2014 Model S there for years.

Some service centers don't care. They only do bare minimum, nothing more, not even an apology. Trust me I have experienced it.

Tire Rack is in on it too. After I had installed adjustable camber & toe arms, Tire Rack now ships me their good Michelins that don't have inner edge wear issues.

Do you have a tire shop you trust? Ask them who they use when they damage a customer's wheel.

There is no such thing as deactivating key fobs before they can be programmed to a car. The car learns the fob, not the other way around.

Tesla Owner Upset Over Slow Cold Weather Charging & Parking Fees https://www.tahoedailytribune.com/news/authorities-respond-to-possible-active-shooter-at-hard-rock-lake-tahoe/ j/k 😂

Sidewall heat caused by underinflation?

Tell your city the traffic signal is not sensing your car. They will send someone out to increase the sensitivity.

Your alignment is good enough to not have the inner wear problem. But the only way to say your alignment has no issues or is a unicorn, you would need to do what owners of staggered wheels do, that's not rotate them. If you have a single picture that shows all 3 treadwear indicators we can get...

You also rotate your tires, right? Not rotating them would reveal alignment issues.

Prior to installing camber & toe arms on my legacy S, 20s wore out the inner edge like the 21s but over a broader area and not as fast. I attribute it to the 20s softer sidewall. And 19s are even softer which is why we are not hearing problems with them.

I've mentioned it before, my 21s and 20s used to wear unevenly until I had the camber & toe arms installed. If you don't have adjustable camber arms and your 20" tires are wearing evenly then you are lucky.

You can find the locations in the Tesla app.
