2nd catastrophic HV failure on my 2012 S due to corrosion. 1st failure was 2016 – Tesla “remanufactured” the existing HV rather than replacing. 2nd failure was in April, with car out of warranty – again due to corrosion. Tech said it is likely to repeat. Tesla has turned hostile after many years...

I was charging in Dedham and received warnings and charging stopped. I called roadside, and they indicated problems with the charging system and that the car would not charge - top priority problem. They Ubered me home. After a couple of days of analysis, service told me the canopy on...

As always, I start a post by expressing my gratitude to Elon, George and the Tesla team for such a magnificent vehicle - and now for building out the supercharge network as committed. Darien is a huge add for us in New England, as it is now much easier to get back and forth to NYC without...

I'm coming up on 6 months of owning my Model S, and just did some math on the operating costs. I've logged 6,000 miles @ 2,000 kwh. At my cost of .14 / kwh, I've accrued $280 in energy costs. An equivalent icemobile, say 7 - S - A8 - assuming 20 MPG - would have burned 300 gallons of...

I probably spent more time deciding on a radar solution than configuring the car - including reading may of the posts here several times. A quick net out: - Custom installed is mandatory due to the windshield - The Escort 8500ci plus or 9500ci with the blinder deflectors seems to be the...

I'm a Boston MS owner who would like to find a way to charge in NYC during theater hours - without paying $3/Hr to charge and with the ability to self-park the car (no one else driving my MS). In Boston, all garages with ChargePoint stations are self-park with free charging, as well as choice...

All, This may affect your automobile taxes. Here in the People's Republic of Massachusetts, we have a $25 per $1,000 auto excise tax. I received my excise tax bill a few days ago, and noticed that the Model S was valued at $130K. So I copied by Bill of Sale and call my Town Hall...

After receiving delivery on 12-12-12, it became immediately apparent that a high-end radar solution is a must for the S. I'm debating between a Passport 8500ci and 9500ci, along with several other possibilities. I visited 'Luxury Details', one of the few installers of radar on high...

I'm new to this forum and joined as i was searching for info on finalizing my order (#880) for my Model S. I'm seeking advice on 'must haves' and what to avoid on the options list. There are threads for many of the individual options, but none that i'm aware of for an 'all up' one place to go...
