    More photos. Car has scuffs on rear right bumper, and some curb rash on a couple wheels. Otherwise in very good condition for a car with 87k miles. More reasonable price = $37.5k.

    Selling my 2013 Model S (SN 06040) P85, with Tesla 100k mile warranty. Car currently has 87k miles so you have 13k miles left in warranty. Car is amazing, I'm the original owner -- unfortunately "life changes" (divorce) forcing me to sell to raise some cash. Asking $45k. JUST within the...

    Another 12v battery bites the dust

    No pre-emptive call here. Called them when the warning came on and they basically said if I drive it I "might make it where I'm going." So it's been sitting in the garage since Nov 24.
  15. carrerascott

    Another 12v battery bites the dust

    I am 3 hours from the nearest service center. This is not something I should need to do on a $100k+ car where I paid the additional $8,000 service plan. - - - Updated - - - I was told not to drive the car. The soonest Ranger service date is Dec 4th, so they say. But what if I didn't have...

    Another 12v battery bites the dust

    Pretty disappointed in Tesla service. 12v light comes on 11/24. They tell me not to drive it. Soonest a ranger can come? Dec 4. Yes it's during the holidays, but 10 days with my car dead in the garage is not acceptable.
  17. carrerascott

    Another 12v battery bites the dust

    Maybe because ours was flashing? Or they logged in and saw how bad things were? Can't say. I do know his words were "I would recommend not taking the Tesla, there is a chance the car will be fine with no issues but I would not want you to get stuck trying to leave the airport." -- a chance...

    Another 12v battery bites the dust

    Ours happened today when it was 74 out.... Can ranger do this on site or does it need to go to service center?

    Another 12v battery bites the dust

    Argh. We were planning to take the Tesla on our Thsnksgiving travels tomorrow. The 12v warning light came on today. Tesla service said don't drive it. No loaners available by tomorrow and I'm 3 hrs from service center. Have to drive gas car now. Boo.......

    Tesla Abandons Model E Trademark

    I personally think it hurt Acura when they changed from great names like the Legend and Integra to, uh, R something? I don't even have a clue of any Acura names other than MDX... but that isn't exactly a great name. Loved the names they used. Wouldn't mind Tesla having some good names, rather...

    Lifetime Average Wh/mi

    I can drive one way and be frugal and get under 300... but then I get bored and stomp on it the way home... Over 25k miles I average 344, mixed between 19's and 21's and winter/summer. Since putting my 21" back on last month, I'm at 340... Still frugal compared to gas though, right? ;)

    Anybody driving 100 miles plus a day??

    We have 24,500 on ours after 13 months of ownership -- though we were out of the country for a month of that, so really 12 months of driving. Our son's school is currently 25 miles away, so back and forth twice is 100 miles per weekday, plus wherever else we drive. He won't be quite as far...

    HPWC Failure

    No it's inside a fully finished garage, not near window or door . I don't see rust, areas are darkened by heat I think.

    HPWC Failure

    Which is the L2 termination? The darkened screw upper right? If so, that came as is, possibly loosened over time? May not be a fault of the HPWC electronics but certainly a fault.

    HPWC Failure

    There’s not a lot but here’s what I can see without disassembly. Pic 1: Part of the paper liner near the top shows a small black burn mark. Pic 2 & 3: The screws on the top right have blackened and plastic next to them on the right and under the second screw have melted a bit. You...

    HPWC Failure

    Well, glad I decided to keep my 15-40 Circuit when I installed my HPWC (about a year ago). Last night my car was charging, happened to look at my App and it said the car wasn't charging with 150 miles of range, and it said to check the charge cable (I forget the exact words). Went out to the...

    Tesla adds Titanium Underbody Shield to Model S

    My car is in for its annual service and they said they would install the titanium shield while they have it. Didn't expect it to be rolled out so quickly.

    Love my Tesla, but almost got stranded because of way out of whack mileage estimate

    Still, when buyers of the "affordable" tesla in a few years experience this (if they do) it will make a lot of negative headlines, IMHO. Unless there are a lot more charging stations, there will be a lot of stranded motorists.

    Love my Tesla, but almost got stranded because of way out of whack mileage estimate

    I'm sure you get less MPG in an ICE car but like you said, there are filling stations everywhere, and it takes 2 minutes. So it's not an issue...

    Love my Tesla, but almost got stranded because of way out of whack mileage estimate

    Charged to 100%. Our car has 21,000 miles on it and current max range charge is about 152-154 miles.

    Love my Tesla, but almost got stranded because of way out of whack mileage estimate

    I was driving 55 on 65-70mph limit roads. I can only imagine how much worse it would have been if I had driven faster (before it got really snowy). It was windy but not crazy windy. That's not exactly a scientific statement though.
