    I scratched my paint in the rear bumper and I can feel it with my fingernail. Any specific rubbing compounds that people have used with success? I'm not sure if I see metal underneath; looks white. I'm thinking of this one...

    Cheap HPWC install?

    I have a HPWC (referral reward "signed" by Elon) I want installed in my detached garage, located about 20' from the main panel on the side of the house. I'm considering upgrading the panel as well, to 200A. My car is a 2017 75D. Is there a way to avoid the "Tesla Tax" when explaining the...

    Fixing Door Dings

    Got a nasty door ding today. Picture attached, finger for scale. Paintless dent repair is asking $150. I’m in the LA area but don’t know if this is reasonable. The dent isn’t that noticeable but the residue is. Any tips on cleaning that off? Unsure where that residue is from.

    Setting Charge Timer: Missing Something?

    Since I’m renting my current place, I can’t install a 14-50 and I’ve been relying on a nearby supercharger. I’m on pace to supercharge about 60 to 70 times this year. Coming up on my one year anniversary, my battery capacity is already down 5% (90% is 217 miles, down from 249 when I got the...

    Keyless Driving

    Anyone seeing keyless driving irregularities? I activated it on the app, got in and IC says keyless driving enabled, press brake and select gear. When I actually do that, I get a key not detected error message and nothing happens. I'm on 26.2 firmware.

    Leaders and Managers: Flashy Tesla at Work?

    What's the reaction to driving your Tesla to work? If you're the CEO or sole proprietor then it's not an issue. But if you're an employee and report to others, wouldn't driving a Tesla to work risk sending the wrong kind of message? If you're a leader at your organization how would you feel...

    How often should we charge to 100%?

    I've never needed to charge to 100% yet. I exclusively Supercharge to 90% as it's nearby and my rental townhouse doesn't have L2 charging. Does only charging to 90% mean the same 10% of cells never get charged? How often should you go to 100% even if you don't need to?

    Authentic 3M Window Tinting?

    I'm going to get top of the line 3M Crystalline window tint done from an authorized dealer. But I've heard horror stories of installers substituting cheap tint instead. What can we do to verify 3M Crystalline is on my windows?

    What's the Right Tire Pressure?

    I'm rolling with 19" Slipstreams and read the proper pressure is 45 psi. But in my CID display it says my tires are 41 psi when I start driving, and around 30 minutes later the TPMS says they're now at 45 psi instead. Are my tires under inflated or just right? I just got my car in December.

    Anyone Tint Their Windshield?

    I'm having my windows tinted primarily for UV and heat rejection, and the installer suggests also doing the windshield, as it's the biggest piece of unprotected glass on the car (I hear glass roof already has built in UV and heat rejection). Anyone tint their windshield, and what brand did you...

    Tinting Glass Roof?

    I have the glass roof (no sunroof) but heard Tesla already treated the glass for glare and heat rejection, although I don't see any official Tesla documentation. I really want UV protection. Does it already come with UV rejection or do I have to put 3M Crystalline on that as well?

    New Owner. Some dumb questions:

    I got a short briefing on delivery so a few questions I only thought of afterwards. 1) On the MCU, how do you hide the top icons to maximize space? I use Tesla waze on top and rear cam view on the bottom. 2) Rear middle headrest partially obstructs rear window view. Any way to adjust or...

    Valet Parking?

    I'm not sure I'll ever use valet mode because I'm too scared to let a valet park my S. Do you use valet parking at all, like at nice restaurants or hotels? I'm certain if I ever got my car back I'd notice very recent power usage spikes...

    New 75D. Is this normal?

    Just picked up a new 75D but based on energy %, my 100% will be only 254 RM. Is this normal? My battery sticker has the dreaded 5B label which I think means fewer cells. Is that the cause of my lower range?

    Confused. Xpel vs 3M vs other?

    I’m a new S owner and confused as to the various products. What do clear bras and paint protection films actually do? Do they prevent rock chips and door dings? Do you only do the front bumper or the entire car? Why would you choose Xpel over 3M or another product?

    First-Time Buyer: Must-Have Options?

    Hi, I'm looking at a new S90D, but it's a major purchase for me so I'm looking to save where I can. But, I'm willing to spend if it's a good investment in terms of enjoyment and longevity of the car. So far I'm thinking AP and full self-driving, which are big appeals of the car. Are any of...
