    Charge port.. uh.. flapping?

    Our charge port seems to be possessed. It seems to go nuts sometimes, opening and closing on its own. It will stop when we shift the car out of park, and when charging. Anyone else had this happen? We’ve rebooted once, didn’t help. The car knows it’s open or closed, as the status changes in the UI.

    The phone "key" and proximity

    So the arrangement of my house is such that my phone is close enough for the 3 to detect it as a key whenever I'm in my office or bedroom. Anyone think this a problem? I noticed when walking around my garage doing some work that the 3 kept unlocking and locking itself (mirrors closing and...

    Glue/Solvent smell, usually when coming to a stop?

    Hey folks, We took a 1000 mile road trip over the last couple of weeks, some of which was through 100+ degree weather (supercharging at those temps too). One thing my wife and I noticed is that when coming off the freeway to a light or a stop, we'd both smell something kinda like nail polish...

    What is coming out of my window?

    IMG_0433 by Stoneymonster posted Aug 14, 2016 at 4:51 PMPut the rear window down this morning and it made some weird noise. Putting it back up dragged this with it. What is it? I'm assuming I need to go to the SC (which is sad because I just got it back).

    Request a Model S: Autopilot section

    I believe that autopilot is a large enough new category and feature and that will generate so much discussion that it might be worth giving it it's own sub-forum. Already we are seeing an overwhelming number of threads, some of them talking about similar stuff that could be much better organized...

    Smelly A/C?

    Or A/C has started to smell mildewy or funky for the first minute of use every day. The car isn't very old (Mar 2015 and 4500 miles). Our first Model S never did this. Any ideas? Plugged drain somewhere maybe?

    I like my car...

    Just in case it gets lost in the negativity around here lately. I kinda like my car. I'd get another someday.

    The old dark blue is gone.

    Check out the configurator. I feel like instead of model years, Tesla should move to model days. "What do you have?" "oh, a March 29, 2015 S85D"

    Transferring car to new owner

    Hi Folks, Can anyone who has sold their Model S privately clue me in on the process of transferring the car to a new owner? I have the service plan and the ESA, both of which need to be transferred. The plan documentation lists a (long) procedure to transfer them but it neglects to say WHERE to...

    California ARB rebate: has anyone sold before 36 months?

    The California $2500 rebate requires that the car be owned for 36 consecutive months. I'm wondering if anyone has sold before that and what they do in that case? Do they prorate the rebate and require a percentage back? The whole thing?

    Frequent Bluetooth disconnects with v6.0 (15) and iPhone 6

    Just got version 6.0 and a new iPhone (also 6!). After pairing my phone (and doing the calendar thing), the media performance is really bad. The phone will start/stop playing and the car (or the phone?) will disconnect from bluetooth entirely. It will reappear in the list and I can select it...

    Sigh, thought we'd escaped the windshield curse.

    Guess ours was just one of the last ones to go.

    Power limited at 50% SOC, only when flooring it?

    I was doing some driving yesterday, and had some (ahem) opportunities to zoom a bit. I noticed that each time I floored it, once the power got near 300kw, a little yellow line appeared near 300kw (like the your battery is too low limit, but not there all the time). Interstingly, the power...

    Tire rotation at Tesla service

    So I just called Menlo Park about getting my tires rotated. I had to get an appointment, which they quoted me for Aug 10, with a 2 hour expected wait. Sigh. Anyone in the Bay Area have a recommended 3rd party place?

    Musk on hypothetical buyer for Telsa Motors

    From an interview on Bloomberg: "Another important question loams on Tesla’s horizon: will the electric vehicle maker get bought out? As Musk told Bloomberg Wednesday, his company would be a very expensive purchase, but it could look good to somebody. “I’d guess it would come from outside the...

    Plate screw size?

    So somehow I managed to lose/throw out my plate mounting screws. The ones I bought from an auto parts store are far too large. Does anyone know offhand what the rear plate mounting screw size is?
