So it has come time to sell my 2013 Model S 85. When I looked at the odometer to put the mileage into an add, it read over 200,000 miles. I took it to the Tesla shop and they said that the car was displaying the correct mileage. A month ago, I had a tire patched at my local shop and they...

I have had several disappointments recently in dealing with Tesla service, and some of the issues may be relevant to consumer protection laws in effect. 1) Last year our MCU failed in the replacement cost (over $2,700) was something we could not afford at the time. I bought a salvaged MCU from...

The driver side rear door handle on my 2013 Model S will not extend and also will not trigger the lock. After doing much online homework, I think the problem might be a worn ribbon cable. I assume the third gen handles have fixed a lot of issues, can I take one from Ebay and use it to replace my...

My 5 year old HPWC just dropped to a max of 40 amps. My dual charger Model S charges fine elsewhere. Reset the electrical panel circuit breakers and no change. The other clue is when I press on the reset button, the lights do not go out for a moment but just stay green. Should I just buy another...

So we took the 2013 Model S to the shop when the screen went black. We were beginning to get bubbles on each side of the screen as well. So it looks like the MCU croaked. The repair is $2700 and a premium MCU and screen is available online for $1100. But the seller says that it will need to be...

I searched this forum but could not find anything about having another shop replace the front pads. I have my regular shop replace the tires when needed and the last time they pulled the wheels off, they said I needed brake pads but did not want to do it because a special tool was needed.

In a few days, my ChaDeMo adapter will arrive and there are several fast DC Blink charge stations near me just north of San Francisco International Airport. They could be of great help in keeping our limousine service's model S on the road all day long because it would be able to charge twice as...

We have had our Model for about 18 months and have had four catastrophic failures. We are now on our fourth drive unit plus a failed battery unit and today Tesla gave us an estimate for replacing the failed on-board charge unit of $3,300. It failed about four weeks after they reinstalled the...

Looked around for a similar thread and didn't see one. So can someone post what they think is the most miles on an MS? We use the car in a livery fleet so we put a lot of miles on and have had it exactly 1 year. We just blew through 43,000. Two drive units installed last week but otherwise no...

We got our HPWC installed at the end of March and I got a call from Solar City a couple of days ago and they needed ownership information on our rented commercial space where the charger was installed. Turns out that they are just now getting around to getting the building permit for the...

I live in Northern California and our power is provided by Pacific Gas & Electric. Currently about 62% of our power comes from non-carbon emitting sources, (reand the remainder comes from natural gas fed power plants. I am wondering what our local MPGe would be because I think we are a bit...

I noticed a lot of tire and road noise coming over the rear seat from the wheel wells and cargo floor when I sat in the back seat. Because the car is used in a limousine service, I wanted the customers to have the full benefit of the Model S quiet ride.So we tore up the carpets and put in some...

Has anyone tried to see if the USB ports can be used for a keyboard, mouse, speakers, etc.?

I have to install multiple HPWCs at a single location and not sure about the total load that will be created. Can someone tell me what their experience is with the charging curve on a HPWC? There are some very informative posts about what the the Model S draw down is on a Supercharger over an...

There is a new Tesla Service Center underway on Anderson Drive kitty corner from Jackson's Hardware. There is a HPWC on the front of the building that may be open to the public. I wonder if they will do deliveries out of there also. Not sure when it opens. Philip Macafee

Just watched a video on turning a WIFI usb adaptor into a WIFI hotspot. The demo was on a windows machine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6rZUgYWVcQ Is there a way to do this via one of the USB ports provided? Philip Macafee
