    Annoying Order Experience

    About two weeks ago, decided to order a new MX - green light from the wife. My daily driver is a 2022 MS and if the boss says it is okay, why not right? 1. Registration. Looking at the Inventory available (strike while the iron is hot) I find out that Tesla has changed things around. You are...

    Older 21" rims on new (2022) Model S do fit.

    Just an FYI, had a set of older rims (21" 9 and 8.5 widths) from a 2015 Model S P100DL, slipstreams if I recall. They fit just fine on the new Tesla Model S. Drove for more than 200 miles without any incident. There didn't look like there was any issue with the brake dust shields or rubbing...

    Press and hold steering buttons ... used to give options

    On the older Model S (up to 2017 at least) you used to be able to press and hold the steering wheel buttons for volume (left) and on the right of the steering wheel. This would give you an option to select the kid of item you want displayed such as music, navigation, energy usage (chart)...

    Safety : Side swiped by semi and walked away

    Last week got side swiped by a semi-truck driver. He just decided to come into my lane, and keep coming. No injuries, simply walked away. Biggest concern was swerving back into his wheels so corrective action after the initial hit was to put a bit more distance between him and me (shoulder...

    NJ doesn't charge sales tax on new EVs

    NJ doesn't collect sales tax on the purchase of new EVs (it's on the Tesla web site) and a brief search here clearly shows that you don't need to even be a resident of NJ to register a vehicle there (just need insurance). I'm thinking of registering it in NJ using a NJ address and insurance...

    Front Passenger Window Cost

    Am curious, how much does Tesla charge for the passenger window? Was the victim of a smash and grab in San Jose (Denny’s down by Tully Road and 101 at 730P) and afterwards, this was one of the first places I turned to in order to figure out the cost (and options) It happened on the 8th and the...

    How do you actually talk to someone from service? MCU failure & replacement

    About two months ago, my MCU1 was on the way out so I opened a service request in Reno NV to try and get the MCU1 upgrade. Well, about a month ago the MCU1 basically died and I moved the service request to Santa Clara, CA as they had a faster availability date. Obviously there's a lag in...

    Driving to Tahoe... How much charge?

    I know there are a lot of SF Bay Area folks who poke in on this thread, but with the new Placerville supercharger along with winter being upon us, I thought I'd share: It's about 62 miles from the Placerville charger at McDonalds to the Hard Rock Hotel. Tonight the temperature was between 25F...

    Wall Charger ... LEDs not working

    Picked up a used wall charger off of Craigslist and hooked it up for a remote location. Charges just fine with the dips set at 40 or 50A. But the LEDs aren't working. The connector on the main board looks intact but the snap latch is busted (I don't think they paid close attention when they...

    Android crashing Tesla

    On long drives, I usually pull up Youtube on the mobile device, and play videos through over Bluetooth. Just last week, I had my Tesla reboot numerous times, and was finally able to narrow it down. Certain songs have the :fire: emoji in the title. When I would play a song with that title, the...
