    Warped Rotors Whats my options?

    You probably do not have powder coated wheels. They are saying that because my powder coated wheels do not have bare metal exposed to the contact area of the rotors, they are not allowing the rotors to use the wheels as a heat sink, they are warping. I just posted this to another thread: I...

    Need advice on recurrent rotor problems with 2014 Model S

    I have the same issue though not nearly as bad as yours. I have a 2012, P85 with 71k miles and have had Tesla 19" wheels that I had powder coated black. I just posted to another thread that dealt with this. I asked Tesla to give me a definitive answer or cause for this and Engineering mentioned...

    Warped Rotors Whats my options?

    I've been driving since I was 16 and am 59. I have had two sets of rotors that needed "turning" but never had ANY rotors that needed replacing due to warpage. I have owned many different cars from Chevy Malibu, Camaro, Volvo S60, Porche Cayman S, Lexus LS430 and many others and never had brake...

    HPWC IR Pics (more fun!)

    I called them (immediately) to set up an inspection. He took my number and told me he would check with his manager to see what he could do for me. I am still waiting to hear back from them but Tesla called me and told me that they are going to replace it with another electrician of their...

    HPWC IR Pics (more fun!)

    Hi there, I thought I'd chime in here. Last year I reported to Tesla that the handle on my HPWC was at 136º and that I thought it was a little warm. They did some checking and came back and told me that it was "within acceptable limits". I let it go because it didn't really burn me, it just...

    Reus Audio System Upgrade - Group Buy Los Angeles/SoCal

    Ok folks, I have gotten serious interest from several of you (thanks) but I seek actual commitments so that I can finalize this with Cliff. If you are still on the fence, then please simply let me know and you can perhaps organize a group buy of your own or seek a different system after...

    Reus Audio System Upgrade - Group Buy Los Angeles/SoCal

    It was great. Depending on the source the low end can get a little overwhelming but it plays with an authority that the current system does not have. In addition, I saw or "felt" the custom enclosure for their 10" subwoofer upgrade and it is clean and completely invisible. You would not know...

    Calling LA Tesla owners - want to bring your car to USC Auto Club's Car Show? 4/20

    Hello, I've never had a car that should've/could've been an auto show of any kind before so forgive me if this question is ridiculous - is the goal of having as many Teslas there just to show quantity/solidarity or do you seek Teslas that have had mods/enhancements/additions? I wouldn't want to...

    Reus Audio System Upgrade - Group Buy Los Angeles/SoCal

    Hi Cliff, Glad you made it back safe and sound. Hey, I am planning on also getting a Mobileye installed and their camera, I believe, is installed behind (which is actually in front) of the rear view mirror. How can we navigate around this? Jorge

    Reus Audio System Upgrade - Group Buy Los Angeles/SoCal

    Wow fellas, I had no idea there were any responses! I am subscribed but got no alerts. Yes, the range is $3400-5500. I don't see a way to attach a file or else I would post the system configurations. I was trying to copy and paste here but the formatting won't stick so you won't understand it...

    Reus Audio System Upgrade - Group Buy Los Angeles/SoCal

    I've been talking to Cliff and he will be back in town this Thursday. No one has committed to the upgrade except me and I want it done asap. So, if I don't hear back from anyone by then, I will just go ahead and do it on my own. On the other hand, I did get him to tell me that if I get two...

    Reus Audio System Upgrade - Group Buy Los Angeles/SoCal

    Hi John, Though I am not that familiar with Audio upgraders, I had heard their name about 6-8 months ago. Cliff left for Texas on Wednesday to do 6 Tesla upgrades or else I would have had it done already. Since I had to wait, I did some more research on Reus and looked around at the different...

    Tire Availability: Anyone about to config their car - read this!

    If I were you, though I love the look of the 21" grey wheels, I would order the 19" wheels if I had the choice. I hit a pothole yesterday and had the sidewall of the tire rupture. I waited for the tow truck and now am finding that: this Continental is a hard ass tire to find. Two dealers said...

    Opting for December delivery changes model year?

    You can track a toothbrush yet you can't track a 100k car???? Not even Tesla really knows where it is. They told me that according to their last status it was supposed to be delivered yesterday afternoon. I told them that I was told that I would usually get a 24 hr window and had not gotten a...

    Opting for December delivery changes model year?

    Hi Steve, I have not had too many very high priced cars but I know that when it came to resale, they all dropped like a rock and that model year did account for a few thousand dollars when it came to their resale value. The only car I have ever loved was a Cayman S but that car too plummeted in...

    Opting for December delivery changes model year?

    Correct, they emailed me the VIN on the 18th and said I should look out for the final paperwork to be in my "inbox" the next day. A few days went by and when I called to tell the young lady who is working with me that I hadn't gotten anything, she told me that they were just about to open or...

    Opting for December delivery changes model year?

    Hi, I'm new to the forum. I got an email asking if I would like a December delivery and I opted in. My original delivery was going to be February/March and my paperwork said that I was getting a 2013. I got a VIN # on December 18th but did not get my final Model S paperwork until December...
