The fact that you got a new battery and paid out of pocket means it’s covered for 4yrs/50,000 right? If so, I’d put your car right around 32k at least. Close to 300 miles of range on a P85 with mcu2 and free everything for life is a great car if the buyer knows what they’re looking at. Usually...

Plenty of Info here, but ask about door handles, sun roof, both main battery and 12V, drive unit, and mcu. Those are likely parts to fail if they haven’t been recently replaced. I would budget $3-5k a year on repairs over time if you plan on everything being done through Tesla, could be a lot...

I guess I need to specify that I was joking 🙃. Tesla doesn’t care what your range is on a Model S battery as long as it still charges.

Take a couple days off on the hottest days of the year, pick an empty stretch of freeway close to a supercharger, and spend 16+ Hours straight doing 0-80mph pulls until your battery is below 10%, supercharge to 95% and repeat until you kill it so you can get a replacement before your warranty...

Just got mine back. Towed in the night of the 7th, done on the 19th. Not too bad for turnaround time considering the weather. My reman pack shows 206 miles at 80% so nothing to complain about yet. Haven’t supercharged, but I saw them charging it on the app before I picked it up and it was...

My 2014 85 with 70k miles and 252 rated range at 100% was still looking great. I washed it the other day, plugged it in for a few hours, took it for a drive, and got "car may not restart", "car needs service", and then after I stopped, "unable to drive, voltage too low". Had to have it towed to...

I’ll take them depending on shipping cost. I’m near Portland or

I got a surprise factory reset with the update too. Do not install this update unless you have an extra garage door opener in your car, I almost got locked out of my own house since my saved home links were removed with the reset. Lost all my saved profiles.

In my experience, any 433mhz eBay sensor will work. They’re so cheap you have almost nothing to lose and they’re likely identical. You can get sets of 4 for $10 shipped now.

Yeah, good luck getting them outside of salvage cars though

Me too. 2014 S85 and my peak rate is about 75kw and it tapers down quick. I usually pull in with less than 10% left, it starts up at about 90kw, and tapers instantly down to 74. I’ll come back an hour later after eating slowly, walking slowly, doing everything slowly to kill time and it’s barely...

No, it still works like that. The old style was like 2012-early 2014 I think.

Did you sell the car they were in or go a different direction with your sound? I’m interested in them.

These should work, I’ve bought this brand before. Your car learns them automatically after a few miles of driving as long as they are 433mhz. No programming required.

You don’t have to program them, the car learns them automatically. You don’t have to do anything except hand them to your tire installer

Search eBay for 433mhz tpms, any will work. I paid $10 for a set of 4 last time I bought them. You can get the same thing on amazon, but they’re much more expensive for the exact same thing. Generics work fine, no reason to pay for the brand name. Just need to be 433mhz.

These touch up really well just FYI. If you smooth and fill the rash a little, and touch up with silver it’s pretty hard to tell anything is there closer than a foot or two. The grey turbines show the smallest chip no matter what you do but the silver is a little more forgiving.

My main point is the owner in this situation can either charge to 90% daily to save degradation and take an extra charge stop on the way home almost every day, or use the 100% as long as it lasts and then take charge stops on the way home after degradation makes the whole trip impossible...

Depends on how long you’re keeping the car, and if you’re doing 60k a year I’m guessing not too long. I don’t know the numbers, but from the anecdotal examples I see, most packs have modules that fail completely and need replacement while most are still in pretty good shape. Actually hitting...

In many cases, if the car is dead and won’t start at all, the app won’t load either so you can’t make a service appointment when you need it most. Pretty stupid “feature”.

eBay 433mhz sensors for 10-20 bucks each, or amazon but you’ll pay a bit more. Works the same as oem for 1/4 price. I’ve used 8 generics so far and haven’t had an issue.

Just charge to 100% whenever you need to. Tesla has no qualms about pushing the limits of the range they advertise, so why in the world would you go out of your way to protect their battery warranty costs? Not great for your battery, also not your problem. They sold you 348 miles, not 348 miles...

If you listed it for 45-48k private party you would get it easily. Performance 3 is 10k more, looks worse, slower, smaller, etc. The battery alone is worth almost half that, people here are pretty unrealistic with pricing and should be ignored. Early last year, tesla got way too aggressive with...

It would be, except that it would provide an incentive for people to get their MCU1 to fail within the warranty period. Unfortunate since it would be hugely popular. Maybe someday they’ll run out of refurb MCU1’s, but considering how many are out there I’m not holding my breath.

With degradation that bad, I would just run an endless loop of launches and supercharging and leave it at 100% for a few weeks until it gives up the ghost.

I have these satin black 21” staggered wheels for sale. Located in Portland, or.

I want to upgrade my 2014 to next gen seats . Really only care about the driver’s side, but I’ll buy both if I have to. I don’t want to have to do the wiring work, so I’m looking for a late 2014 or early 2015 seat before they changed the wiring harness.

Yes, easily. All the hvac and infotainment works as normal.

The tires on my turbines were more worn and a different brand, and my numbers weren’t scientifically measured so I'm not saying arachnids are better or worse than turbines, but there was definitely an immediate significant difference going to and from 19s.

I noticed a significant wh/m improvement when I changed my turbines for slipstreams for a while. Went from 335 to 300 and consistently in the 290’s even. Went back to arachnids and I average 340 or so. Definitely makes a difference, but the tradeoff on looks is extreme. Model S needs big wheels...

Yeah they ride very quiet. There probably isn’t a huge difference between those two tires, it would probably come down to wherever you find the best deal. Either way, it’s hard to imagine ever paying 1-2k a set for big brands when you can get 90% of the performance for 1/5 the cost.

I’ve been running achilles atr sport 2 for about 10k on my arachnids, and I don’t think you can beat them. Dry handling is great, the compound is nice and soft. They’re all season too. (haven't tested in the snow, but wet grip is awesome). Tread life is probably 10-15k, but I drive like a maniac...

These are oem (not chinese) wheels painted professionally satin black. Haven’t used them since they were done, perfect condition. No tires, tpms, or center caps (you can find them for very cheap on amazon or ebay). Starting at 1800 but price is negotiable, not sure how the market is now. Not...

Sure, pm me a price if you want to.

Need a turbine to replace a badly cracked wheel, preferably one with rash or paint damage since I’m redoing it anyway. Open to buying more than one. Located near Portland, OR.

I had the same problem, first they said it was a module, but they ended up keeping the car for almost a week and replacing the drivers door wiring harness to fix the issue. It works now, but whatever they did killed the range. Used to auto present handles when i was like 6-10 feet away, now I...

A set of new takeoffs is for sale in oregon for $1200 right now, the first I’ve seen. So probably about there, maybe less since they are pretty hideous. Tires are worth some money though.

I have a used set i would be willing to split. How much are you looking to spend?

For another cheap alternative, Achilles ATR sport 2 are pretty good. I got 4 for $360 shipped and have been running them on my arachnids for 3500 miles with no issues. Performance and handling is hardly worse than then the pilot supersports I replaced them with, and I drive my car extremely...

Tires are so cheap now 21s are a no brainer unless your roads are bad or you need the extra range. Wheels are pretty cheap, especially older turbines. I use Achilles ATR Sport 2. They’re all season tires you can find for less than $350 a set shipped. Not a big name brand which drives some people...

Shipping to Washington state?

I wouldn’t bother. In the very rare chance they agree to fix it, they’ll probably make it worse in the process. I’ve seen red multicoat rework that doesn’t match very well.

This is a good deal with two remaining years of warranty. You should get very close to your asking price. There’s always someone here who says you’re 5-10k overpriced no matter what you charge.

Not sure how much you know about manufacturing but retooling a production line in any significant way takes a small army of highly skilled labor, and tons of on site engineering work. They’re shut down. Might as well be asking why they aren’t using this opportunity to build model Ys.

Location? I have one in Portland, Or but could ship.

I have a couple, can probably beat anyone else’s price. What were you looking to pay with shipping included?
