Must be getting close

If you do that, get a Raven mid 2019 model Model S. Upgraded suspension and other upgrades.

I think the Model S will have a much smoother ride since it has hydraulic suspension, and will be just as quick as the Model 3P. I like having the display in front of me and not having to look to the side for basic information. The MS will have the nice big nav screen. I'm not sure if the sound...

I have had my personalized license plates since 1974, they've been on 9 cars. Cal blue with yellow letters. When I ordered my MX, I found a guy who strips and repaints license plates. I got pulled over by CHP for my plate being to "shiny" and he asked if I had it painted. Turns out that's...

My dad took us there as kids. Every woman had to go in a see the waterfall. I took my wife in there on our honeymoon. Stayed in Caveman Room...rock waterfall shower. Going to the Cal Takeover event in July.

Thanks for the input. I am thinking of getting a spare (front tire size) for an extensive road we will take next year. I hoped a spare front would work on the back to allow being able to get somewhere without waiting hours for the auto club. OPPS, how did I get on Model Y? Will this work on a...

I took it to the local service center yesterday. They fixed it, but don't know yet what they did. Will pick it up tonight. Thank you both for your insights. I'll keep them in mind if this happens again.

In Southern California, gas is almost $5.00 again. Over 5 in some stations. I calculated 22 mpg (my Buick) @ $5.00 is $297.50 for the trip. Much more than his costs.

I have noticed when we wash the car and then open the FWD to wipe down, a lot of water pours out, into and outside the car. I'll take a pictue of our 2022 MX seals tomorrow when its daylight. Right now my driver side FWD won't open but passenger side does. That's how I found your question.

My driver side FWD won't open. It beeps 3 times when I try. I have tried opening it from my phone, from the outside, and pressing the open button on the inside. I am concerned if I try to open it manually it won't close. There is nothing in the way outside the door. Any advice?

Congrats on two EV family. Thanks for posting, it's nice to see what the evolution of the EV industry is doing. We bought our 2019 S to drive and watch the future unfold. Enjoy both your cars.

I have concluded it's grey when using power and green when regen. The longer the bar, the more power being used/regen and shorter is less power used/regen.

Thank you for posting. It finally showed on my screen the other day.

I went this morning at 0700, and it was .21 kwh. That's cheaper than I can charge at home. Tier 2 at home is .35 kwh. So it saved me $6.00. Now the age old question, does supercharging degrade the battery? I don't intend to use the superchargers everyday. One up side....it uses a credit card I...

I can't wait to see what early morning (0630) rates will be. Looking forward to trying this site.

Drove by this morning, still not open.

Drove by this morning and this afternoon. No cars, must not be working yet. My loot box (only 25 miles remaining) expires 9/25. Hope it opens tomorrow. I don't want to use 30 miles (or more) of range to get free 25 miles. ;)

I do wish this was across the freeway at Eastland shopping center. Due to 85 degree C this is a very busy parking lot, but a good spot for refreshments to wait for your car to charge.

I've had my personalized plate for 48 years. Been on 9 cars. I had it stripped and repainted before putting it on my refresh X. Still love the plate. Noting cleaver, just a shortened version of my last name, which all my friends call me anyway.

So, what was the insurance company conclusion?

In 2019 they dropped the price of the Model S drastically. That's when we bought and rec'd lifetime supercharging also. However, in this day & age I doubt that will happen again. Prices will stabilize as more competition enters the market. Not every buyer wants minimalist interior. I don't love...

Are these things that fill in the gaps on large wheels? Near where the wheel meets the tire.

You might see if a local body shop can paint it so it's not noticeable, but I agree with Kimmi, let it go until something serious happens. Body shops work wonders on nicks and scratches.

The problem I have is my wife is much smaller than i am. When it recognizes hers first, I can't get in in time to stop the seat moving. She has to get in the passenger seat and press the driver profile for me.

Looks really nice. The local police will never notice it....🤣🤣

I'm having the same struggle on the $6,000. Seems high for auto lane change. If we do a long road trip I figure I'll rent FSD for a month or two. Other than that, day to day driving i don't need Nav on autopilot or auto lane change.

I just saw this morning that EAP upgrade is $6,000.00, half of what FSD is. That's more than I had hoped for automatic lane change, which is probably the only feature I would use.

Replying here so I can be in the loop if you here anything. Going to be long hot So. Cal. summer.

At Rio Hondo Community College in Whittier, CA they do have a Tesla apprentice training program. Also at a few other schools in California.

I imagine air bags deployed. If so it's totaled. You don't want it fixed and returned to you. It will never be the same.

just my opinion, but Model S should be Red. & Cream.

Tesla has to have a retrofit deal on the screen. The original web site blurb talked about tilting screen, and if we have the engineered parts, just need motors and software it should only be a couple hundred bucks upgrade. I'll pay that in a heartbeat.

The PPA we had with my wife's board & care was still a big saver over Edison, but no upfront costs. Sure could have saved more on a loan, but the PPA they warrantee everything. Monthly payment and catch-up bill was still much less than the prior year Edison bill. Back then you couldn't do 100%...

I purchased solar from Sun Run in 2015. I wish my system were a little larger now that I have two EV's. As it is with air conditioning running in So. Cal. in July to Sept, I have a catch-up bill of about $1,500.00 annually. The good thing is the solar keeps in the lower cost tiers as well as...

I can't tell if the noises I am hearing is the stock market crashing or the resale value plummeting of my MXLR non-swivel screen/non-matrix lights. But; I have the new charge port.......:oops:. Guess I will just have to enjoy the car as it is 😍.

Thanks, I'll have to try it. I see there's a "free" version. Probably drown me in e-mails if I "join". I'm not wanting to spend another $15. a month (or what-ever it is) on a subscription right now. A least I'm free of my Serius XM on my Buick, now that I have my X. Hope you get yours soon. 7...

I don't think my air bag recall will be fixed by software. I am not knocking Tesla, obviously I have two of them. I merely said that waiting for matrix headlights may not be worth waiting for at the moment. Honestly, I don't know what tidal is, other than the ebb & flow of water on a global...

I don't agree in general. The main systems are proven. However, new systems aren't: such as noise cancelation, infotainment (I guess rear screen and front screen don't have separate sound systems?) Those two things don't bother me, as half the time I have the radio off (so I can see better. Ha...

I agree with you. I've driven over 50 years without matrix lights, so another few years without them is no big deal. I have my 2002 MXLR and am happy as a clam. I see matrix lights as something else to go wrong with the lights or the computer program. Happy Motoring....

Half the clothes, twice the money is my rule for packing.

Welcome to TMC.

Who is the "WE" that you keep referring to? You last bullet point......you are a software engineer giving legal advise? Not sure of your credibility.

We've had our MS for 2 1/2 years and I have never used mine. Now I have another for the MX. I have thought about buying the dryer outlet adapter for visits to our daughter's house (that would also involve an extension cord). Getting 3mph range on the mobile connector doesn't seem worth taking it...

Do other EV manufacturers provide a charger when you buy their cars? My nephew was charged a "market adjustment" on his Mach-E, even though he preordered it and was told there wouldn't be one. He did "negociate" it down significantly. I didn't ask about receiving a charger with his as this...

My March 2022 build has the "stabilizers".

Hard to take this guy serious when he won't put his cup of cool-aide down. As Bugs Bunny says: "What a Maroon......"

Since our S is free supercharging, that's why I used my nieces referral code, so we both rec'd 1,000 miles.

I rec'd the 1,000 referral miles from our Nov 2020 order. It showed up in loot box a couple days after delivery. I had presumed since they stopped the referral program it wouldn't happen, but it is a nice surprise. Miles good for 6 months then they expire.

I think it's real wood. I drove another car today or I wood (ha ha) go out and double check. I know in our S it's real wood.
