    Tesla "Gas Savings" estimate

    California here so gas/tax/fees is on the high end as well as the electricity cost. While the EV still produces overall savings the increased registration fees on the electric vehicle further reduce the benefit. What I value the most is not having to drive 20 min out of my way twice a week to...

    Availability of Superchargers

    I've only really heard of it being an issue at the Kettleman City charger during the holiday rush. That should be helped with the new mass charger going in near Firebaugh

    If you have a pressure washer get a foam cannon.. I have an S and also picked up a Worx electric leaf blower as the handles, window trim and refreshed front badge area hold water and drip after drying causing hard water streaks...

    HomeLink question

    I've come home a couple times and didn't realize the door didn't close as I left. Luckily we live in the middle of nowhere. My suspicion is that when backing out of the garage the GPS is blocked and doesn't acquire in time to register before you are past the set close distance. When driving...

    My wife’s phone wins... every time

    On our S we have it tied to the keys. Given the large height difference between my wife and myself I finally had to delete her key to keep from being repeatedly folded into the steering wheel every time I unlocked the car. I left her profile so it can still be selected from the drop down menu...

    Buying a used Model S- what must have features should I hold out for?

    MCU1 vs MCU2 I think is moot now that it's upgradable. The bigger difference is AP1 vs AP2. I purchased mine used late last year and went with 75D Refreshed facia, AP1, MCU1. AP1 I think is going to be the main limiter as most updates now only apply to AP2 and if you plan to go FSD you're out...

    Fighting a Service Charge...

    climate on for extended time

    Good to know the 4 hour limit. Due to handing off kids with my wife who works nights I often grocery shop at lunch and leave the climate on to maintain a cold temp in the car with the groceries in soft side ice chest in the back.

    Used 2017 Model S being sold as 75 but pictures say 60?

    It should be fine mine was sold as a 75 but came as a 70. They couldn't fix it at pickup but they were able to push an update overnight that increased it to 75. I still need to take it in and have it rebadged and uncorked to 4.2 sec 0-60 but that is more involved and requires a service center...
