Last September I got a vague warning, they said it was an isolation thing. Turned out the LDU replaced 11months ago was leaking or? The manager said the replacement was like new and would last much longer.

Cool, the best of both worlds.

One day maybe Tesla will pay staff enough to own a Tesla and get to know them. But today they don't want to pay for training, technology is advancing constantly, only motivated staff will be able to keep up.

Problem solved?

When the warranty expires you will be better off if an independent EV tech is nearby. Newer car is better if you aren't near an ev service center.

The technology does exist but it's gonna be a while before it scales from racing bikes.

The auto car wash will prematurely age your paint. If you spray it down with a hose or power washer then a short drive will dry it.

The person in possession may not have the keys due to a dispute over the car's problems. If keys were the only issue it seems it would have sold or been repaired.

A thrift store that sells tools/hardware will take it.

App requires the computer to be upgraded above 3g. If you only have 3g then you can connect thru wifi after accessing the computer.

How close is the car to an independent EV garage? To transition from a parts car to a salvage will be the affordable option.

Overheat protection helps deal with the greenhouse issue because of the extra glass. The aluminum seems to radiate heat. The original computer in my 2014 hates the heat, basically quits if I don't shade or cover the car.

All the biggest companies are building or buying EV's. There must be something about them that makes sense.

You could disconnect the harness at each end and check the resistance of each wire if you don't want to replace it.

Putting money in an ordinary car is not as smart as putting it in an EV. Gas prices determine much of the value of EV's, $2/gal won't be around for a while and won't last long. 95% of my charging is free.

The frunk ground fault may have been at the grounding post or posts on the framework.

The later in the year 2014 the better. Paying for a replacement battery will not bother me at all. The nightmare of an ordinary vehicle nickel and diming me is thankfully a dimming memory.

Paisleys are coming back if you get bored with that.

Sooner or later you'll be stuck some where with no bath tub.

Can you remove the batteries?

I don't have a plaid but I'm sure it has a fireman's loop pull tab. The black plastic cover should pull off that pretty easy.

Independent repair shops were having trouble with the mcu2 blocking some of the work they could do. Hopefully that's no longer the case.

How often do you go to 6%?

Have suspension air bags installed so that wheel doesn't touch the street.

Hit a curb with the driver's side, better chance both sides blow out at the same time and cancel out the "oh shyte" factor.

Any brake mechanic can lube the slides, unfortunately it's tedious and not cheap. Part of the regular maintenance, hopefully it stops the noise.

I bet the text you sent while you were hitting the curb was "don't text and drive"

That's a factory defect, Tesla tires are bullet proof up to 9mm.

Demand a refund, insist the tire was like that when you bought it.

Oops should have kept that to myself. Now I have to copyright it.

"Model XXX" would sell for 3 times more.

You can't see the air inside yet so the tire is ok.

Sometimes slamming on the brakes when not in traffic will free them up.

A little bubble gum and a lot of pressure......

Brake pads probably stuck. Common problem, how old are they?

A compact internal compressor, probably donut shaped, Bluetooth, thing-ama-jig could be designed. Who has a minute?

An RV store might have a 110v plug that adapts to your charger plug. If that's a bad idea someone here will inform. Having a 2nd gen charger is a good idea because the original could quit on you.

Coastal construction business can require a lot of daily road miles to reach a torn up road leading to a sometimes worse site. When not under contract then coastal storm recovery and cleanup work is much the same.

If you qualify for tax and or grant incentives and you don't have a shade tree in the wrong place then a power wall and solar could be the answer.

Adjustable on the fly I meant to add.

Adjustable tire pressure modification possible with Tesla hubs? Seems like a good thing to have so you can have efficient tires but still be able to soften them before getting stuck in soft terrain.

Mobile service will travel hours? That's good news.

Mobile service typically won't go that far. YouTube shows how to take apart the dash and computer if you know someone good with a soldering iron.

Your phone can block the fob signal, so it sucks if they are left together inside the car.

A hide-a-key may also be needed because you can't use your phone to unlock the car if you lock yourself out.

If you put a 12v charger on the 12v battery you will likely wake the car up.

I meant the better range of the 3 will help on long distance trips.

If there's an electric motor shop in your area then they could rehab them.

The range on the 3 could be the issue when going long distance. The room in the S is better for camping/cargo.

Could be a crusty connection they won't find until it shorts completely. Was it raining last time?
