    2020 Model S Alignment Issues

    I picked up a new-to-me 2020 Model S Long Range Plus in Sept/Oct last year. The alignment was always a little wonky- car wouldn't track straight. The front tires were also almost bald when the car arrived, even though the rears looked brand new. So I picked up 2 new tires and had an alignment...

    Daily Laugh- Service Center Says "Headlight Condensation is Because EVs run hotter than ICE"

    Fresh off another extremely frustrating experience at the White Plains NY service center. Took the car in for 2 things- wheel alignment and one headlight with condensation. When I picked up the car today, the alignment was actually worse than when I had dropped it off (car was pulling to the...

    FREE: Model S Tempest Aero Covers from a 2020 (Lighter colored)

    I had another thread where I tried to sell these but it's time for me to give up and give them away. I bought these to try to fit them on a different wheel but it was a failed experiment- they don't fit on the older Model S wheels (5 spoke or slipstream, both don't work). These are the Tempest...

    Positive EVGo experience

    I was out and about the other day and knew I needed to charge. I could make it home without charging, would probably be around 10%, but I wouldn't have time to get meaningful charge before heading back out to take kids to stuff which would make it pretty tight. The nearest supercharger would...

    PSA: If you have a pre-2016 Model S, Get the Steering Recall Work Done

    Had my 2015 Model S towed to the service center last night after the power steering died about 15 minutes away from the house. It was terrifying right at the moment that it happened, and it took a lot of muscle to get it home. Decided to call for a tow instead of muscling it to the SC. This...

    Free: Blue front bumper (Nosecone) - Ocean Blue Metallic Paint Code B101E

    I did the Tsportline front bumper refresh recently and have no need for my original bumper. It's paint code B101E. Not perfect as it came off a car with 60k miles but overall very good. I had to take a few things off the factory bumper, so you'll need to repurpose from your old one- the T...

    FS: Tempest Aero Covers

    Set of 4 Tempest Aero Covers off of a 2020 Model S. These are the lighter silver ones, not the darker ones. Bought these to experiment with fitment on other 19" wheels; they didn't fit anything else :) I didn't modify them in any way- as soon as I held them up next to my wheels it was clear...

    Free: Model S Driver's Side Headlight (Pre-Facelift) w/ HID ballast and bulb, Westchester NY

    When I first bought my 2015 Model S in 2019, I was appalled at how bad the headlights were. I bought all the pieces to do a projector swap, including a sacrificial headlight from eBay to experiment on. After purchasing but before it arrived in the mail, I figured out that the headlights were...

    Any pics of new Tempest wheels on a Nosecone S?

    I have a 2015 Model S 70D and do a lot of highway driving so would like the range bump from aero wheels. I'm considering swapping my wheels for Tempest wheels but can't picture what they would look like on a nosecone car. If nobody has done it, I'll just do a photoshop to see but wanted to...

    Easiest way to preheat car when out of cell range?

    This is probably a simple question, but today it dawned on me that my pre-heating routine is probably silly. I live in a cell phone dead zone; no coverage from any of the four carriers. I have boosters and wifi calling for my phones so I don't care, but the car does not communicate with...

    HID Projector Retrofit

    I've had my 2015 Model S for about a month now, and I love almost everything about it. However, coming from a Lexus RX450h with GREAT headlights, I can say that I really don't like the headlights in this car. Overall just not enough light, mainly driven by the fact that the cutoff is really...

    Another "meh" used car buying experience - 2015 Model S 70D

    I picked up my new-to-me Tesla Model S 70D today at the Mt. Kisco delivery center. I ordered the car on August 20 and today was the first available pick-up appointment, September 5. So, 16 days all in, a little over the 7-10 day estimate but not terrible. It actually would have been 14 days...
