I'm in the market for a used MX (new with 6 seater is too exp and also doesn't qualify for the EV tax credit). I've noticed that the EPA range (on Tesla's used inventory) vary a lot for the 2021 Long Range Plus. Some state 351 mi of range while others state 371 mi of range. Is there any actual...

I'm planning on road-warrioring in the Y and was wondering what the maximum wattage output was of the rear cigarette lighter. I was planning on getting an inverter and plugging in my laptop plus phone chargers/mobile hotspot, etc. That would likely require ~100W at peak charge. Anyone know the...

Planning a trip to Tahoe (on highway 50) early Feb. I have the LR RWD M3 with 18" Aeros. In case of R2 road conditions (and just to be safe), I believe I need chains? I've installed chains on the front wheel of other cars before just fine. However, it seems it'd be difficult to put on the rear...

I've had the M3 for about a week now. All seems to go well except for a few issues with the charging port: 1. The mobile app keeps saying the charge port is open even though it's not. 2. The button on the supercharger connector doesn't open the charge port. Anyone else having similar issues?

I'm going to try to fit a wireless pad where the phones usually sit. Ideally, I'd like a non-slip pad that I can just rest my phone on top of and have it work. Since the cables that came with are USB-C and Lightning, I'd have to use a converter to micro-USB since that's what most charging pads...

Anyone have a guess at whether leasing will be available for first production? After being a (relatively) early MS owner, I'm not particularly keen on owning another early production car. Have 2 M3's on order. One will probably be the AWD one sometime in late 2018.

Hey all, I'm a bit confused about how the X hitch works. From googling, it looks like there's a pop-open slot to put in a trailer hitch adapter. Is that built in to every X? Can you take the hitch/rack off one X and put it on another that wasn't ordered with that option? Thanks!

Hi all, I'm in the Bay Area and am making a Tahoe trip for Labor Day weekend. My Model S can only fit 5 adults and I have a bunch of friends interested in carpooling (and taking fewer cars). Would anyone in the are with a Model X 7 or 6-seater be willing to let me rent and/or car-swap with...

I have two orders with order numbers that appeared on the mytesla site. Is there a way to tell my place in line with these RN numbers?

I have a 2013 Model S. Over the past few updates, the UI has become painfully slow. Particularly when navigating. The GPS plot seems to grind the computer to a halt. Does this exist on newer models? Do other owners of older Model S's see this as well? I wonder if they've swapped the computer...

I love my Model S but there are certain places I just won't bring it to. We go off into the mountains a lot -- some are within range of a single charge while others aren't. But regardless, I'm far too protective of my Tesla to take it on rough roads. So my question is, what do people here use...

So I recently put a small dent in my bumper :( It's not big and I think it should be repairable. But I'd like recommendations as to body shops in the bay area. Someone whose able to match the paint well, and do a good job with the aluminum, etc. Thanks!

So I did a booboo :( I backed into a bucket that was up against a wall and it scraped my bumper. Not only that, it's slightly dented. I was wondering what people's experiences were with repairing vs replacing the bumper. Since it's aluminum (right?) it can't really be reformed back into its...

So while driving, I tend to stare at my Wh/Mile rating and wonder about how the numbers correlate. I've noticed that to even get close to the rated miles, I have to hover around (a bit below actually) 300Wh/mile. But a back-of-the-envelope calculation says that to get my rated 260 miles at...

So it's getting colder in the bay area these days and perhaps that's the reason but I've noticed lately that my regen is capped at ~30kW or so nowadays (seems inconsistent) at various battery charge levels. Previously, it'd only be capped if I was at 100% or close -- which made sense, you can't...

So I've tried washing the car myself and despite my best efforts, I get the feeling I just cannot clean the paint as well as a professional detailer. Can anyone in the SF Bay Area recommend a detailer that will do a good deep clean with a clay bar? Perhaps apply a coat of finish after along...

So I have a NEMA 6-50 installed at home. The theoretical max is 240V/50A, I believe. Now, obviously I'm not going to realistically achieve that but I've noticed that it seems capped at 40A while charging. On the charge screen, it shows 40A/40A (or sometimes 39A/40A). This gives me pause as it...

Hi all, I'm going to be making a road trip up north to Portland via Highway 1 and then the 5 on the way down. While most of my charging on highway 1 will involve KOA's or hotels (some J1772 level 2's), There are several 70A roadster charging stations on the 5 that I'd like to take advantage...

Just to preface: I've never raced before. My last car was a Prius and I drove like a grandma. That being said, with my new P85, I'm looking to push it a bit and am curious about circuits/racetracks around the SF bay area that I can take it to. Moreover, I'm interested in whether there are...

So I'm at mile 1200 (after a week :) I took delivery and immediately went on a road trip to San Diego. One thing I've recently noticed is that the steering wheel no longer "rests" at the center. I've had this happen with just about every car I've owned but never in the first 1200 miles. It...

So I'll be staying down at my friend's house for a few days in SD. He doesn't have a high-speed charger and his washer plug is a bit far from the garage and not really accessible (townhouse like situation). While he's not really in SD proper -- somewhere north of mirimar -- I can probably make...

I bought the external cover, however, there are often times when I will be parking the car for only an hour or two. It seems excessive to cover it at all times. That being said.....birds have a small vendetta against me. That and bugs are a pain to try to wash out. Does anyone keep a small...

I'm receiving my car on the 30th, which will happen to be the day I'm leaving for San Diego. For a somewhat long trip and considering I'll be parking in many places, I was wondering whether I can buy the outdoor car cover and NEMA 10-30 adaptor (for dryer outlets) at the Fremont store instead of...

So I've gotten my delivery date and it's next week! Which happens to be the week I'll be making a trip down the coast here in CA to San Diego. Seeing as I'm leaving on the day I take delivery, I'd like some insight into what accessories I should buy now. In particular, I plan on charging from...

I read somewhere around these forums that many were skipping the stock paint armor and having shops install it aftermarket. This is mainly due to the fact that aftermarket ones are able to cover the entire front hood. Has anyone done this? What has been your experience?

Please, it's a 21st century car; it's gotta be lasers.

This may be a repeat threat but after driving a rental Volvo SUV this past weekend, I was pretty impressed with many of the features it offered and wouldn't mind it on a Model S. I thought I'd start a thread where people could make a wish-list of things they'd like. The two major things I...

So I took my test drive this week; it was absolutely thrilling to gun the Model S on the road -- especially next to a Mazerati that happened to be on the road :) However, when playing with the center console, a lot of the "beta" feel issues popped up. Amongst the most annoying of which was...

I'm currently not near a Tesla store but I'd like to reserve a Model S online. I will, however, be traveling and will be near a Tesla store in Palo Alto in a few weeks. Can I still get my picture with the giant check after I reserve it online? :)
