While warranty work using refurbs is to be expected, because they are only on obligation to get you driving again, I think it is unacceptable to pay full price fora mystery refurb battery out of warranty. They either better offer brand new packs, or offer a 4-8 year warranty on the new pack or both.

The sun visors in the model S are $350. You are surprised that that is $43k? I would be crossing my fingers that it was a total loss too. People who buy cars over $20,000 don't want to drive accident repaired vehicles. I wouldn't worry about how much they will offer you. While i am with...

To be fair, that passenger side mirror is not legal in the US simply for the fact that it doesn't have a "objects in mirror are closer than they appear" As simple and silly as that is as a rejection to legality, if you get into the import world at all, it is little things like that that make it...

As im on an original 2013 battery, im curious what you mean by "quit"? I have had my connectors replaced, but when i asked the service guys about battery failure (to which they said my P85 battery replacement out of warranty would be like $30,000.... yikes) they pretty much said they would be...

my bad, i see it now. 6 gauge wire. 8 gauge ground.

i maybe be scanning here to quickly, but 240 60amp should be run on 6 gauge not 8 gauge. 60amp breaker for a 48amp circuit. 8 gauge should be limited to 32amp output.

Good! I was not impressed with the wipers here in the PNW where it never rains hard, but just misty and light rain 24/7. I always found the wipers to not wipe at all, or go way more often than needed.

I certainly think the quietness of the acceleration also allows you to focus on the feeling of the G's instead of the sounds which also heightens the experience.

Maybe if it was on a truck that looked like it would have chipped away letters painted on. Not when its on a tesla though

Obviously. But speaking in averages, should the average user expect to have to replace it every aprox 50-70k miles (you know, because most cars specify age of vehicles and maintenance programs by either months/years, or miles.... not hour runtime or starts and stops) For me, the end-user is what...

Yes, i do believe it is one unit on the older MCU's so the screen is also replaced. I didn't buy mine from Tesla, but mine was also purchased used, and the thought of having to replace a multi-thousand $ unit every 60k kinda defeats the purpose of the "less moving parts" motivational...

So is the consensus then that the MCU will require being replaced every 50-70k miles??? That seems absurd, especially when its likely out of warranty by the first, and almost definitely by 120k.

My model S is the quietest car I have ever driven. Certainly more quiet than BMW or Mercedes. On top of all noises being much more in your face because they aren't droned out by the engine.

*rolls eyes* buys most technological car on the planet and afraid of software updates.

Considering The P85 was released at like ~417hp, and then later revised to 469hp where it still sits and I have seen dyno tests of a P85 pulling over 500.... I would be surprised.

Personally, as a photographer, the white balance on those photos bother me. But then again, I tend to like things correct from a numerical standpoint rather than a half-hazard Pollock artform. But yea. I also wouldn't pay somebody to photograph my car unless I intended to make money because of it.

Imagine that. It's just like every other car model on the road now.

Anyone have some info on how to fix this or if it was because of an update? My music streamed just fine until about a week ago, now it just sits on the load screen and never plays music. I tried doing a hard reset, and it worked for one song than went back to perpetual load screen.

It remains to be seen. I just bought a 2013 first week of July, and i can confirm that it has FSC for life transfered to me as well. and my account still says it will transfer to the next owner.

I bought mine on 7-3-19. I have had free supercharging since i took possesion on that day. I have completed the transfer, have the app installed and my account online still says free supercharging, and still says it will transfer to the next owner.

I would have to disagree. Model S is a completely different market than the model 3 or Y or X or roadster. That is like telling BMW M5 drivers that what they want is a 330i, an X5 or an i8. No, they want a fast luxurious sedan. Not a dinky racecar with no comforts, not a middle class 330i, and...

Did about 25 within 4 days of purchase. Bought the car in Chicago and drove it to the west coast.

How long did it end up taking to transfer the car? I bought mine early July, but didn't recieve the title from the dealer until last week and sent them an email with the required info saturday and haven't heard back from them...

I just bought my first model S less than a month ago, third party, and it most definitely still has free supercharging.

I just bought my first tesla, and of the probably dozen or so people i contacted who were selling, not a single one of them was male. I would say there is definitely plenty out there

Neither of them have AP.

I hate to be a bother, but i figured you all would have more knowledge than I. I have two Tesla Model S's at a dealer I am looking at, roughly the same price. One is a 2013 P85+, the other is a 2014 85. the P85+ has about 4000 miles less. KBB puts the 2014 at a much higher value, but that seems...
