Classic Tesla... Which by itself is pretty pathetic. Put the deposit in for powerwalls to go along side my existing solar system two weeks ago and have yet to hear anything from Tesla. Said I'd be contacted no later than 1 week after I put my reservation in and well that was bogus... Should I...

Just curious, does anyone here actually know of anyone who successfully transferred their lease to someone else? Looking to possibly get out of my existing Model X lease, although I doubt I'll find someone to take it, but assuming that I did is it actually even possible? I've seen threads over...

Elon just tweeted that starting next month Tesla will start charging $1K for the color black... WTF? That is one of the most basic car colors... Jeff

Moderator note: Moved the first five posts in this thread from a discussion about gun storage in a Model X. Sad to see the lengths gun nuts will go to in order to bring their precious along with them... Jeff

My wife noticed the other day that when she's using AP with TACC set at a X speed, when she has to disengage AP to change lanes faster than it would the car sets the TACC speed to whatever the speed of the car is at the moment of AP disengagement... When did it start doing this...??? It's quite...

As of two updates ago (I'm now on 48.12.1) the car wakes up from sleep in jack mode... Is anyone else seeing this? I'm getting tired of having to remember to take it out every time I get in and my wife is just about done with it all together... The car should never put itself in jack mode...

Not sure why Tesla would do this to the Model S but... Loved this in my Model S... Such is life... Jeff

Love OCDetailing but Joseph is all booked up for months and I stupidly sat on an appointment window for too long. He recommended Walnut Creek Customs since I don't want to wait 3+ months but I figure it couldn't hurt to ask here to see if anyone has any other good SF East Bay recommendations...

Just saw this article on my local papers website and I think this is just AWESOME!!! Tesla desperately needs service techs and service center expansion... Techs from traditional automakers aren't what Tesla needs, so now they'll get exactly what they need and want. Tesla bringing...

Just got V9... First thing I noticed is Tesla changed the traffic information to "only" show when there is traffic vs the always green that it used to show... I REALLY dislike this change... Anyone else not a fan either? Jeff

I've been using Orinda Auto Detail for years now to detail my Model S and they recently went out of business... Any recommendations for a quality detailing business in the WC/Concord/Pleasant Hill area? Jeff

My Model S had a lightning adapter built into the center console but I just noticed my new Model X has nothing. I recall that was something that was supposed to be there, did Tesla change something or do I need to complain to Tesla about it? Jeff

I tried searching and reading the manual so my apologies ahead of time if I missed something simple or if this is a stupid question but... Are either the driver or passenger doors supposed to auto-close when you walk away from the X? I seem to remember that's how it's supposed to work but...

Not sure where to even start... I guess I'll start by saying Tesla Delivery is currently a massive cluster **** of epic proportions... Delivery appointment was set for today at the Fremont delivery center... I won't rehash all the drama leading up to this point but we arrived 15 minutes before...

I often get called a fanboy around here but this fanboy is getting his patience extremely tested at this point... Ordered a Model X to replace my Model S as part of an early lease swap promo and while I have other issues with that process that still aren't flushed out, it's the delivery of my...

Okay so in classic Tesla behavior, I can't get the delivery specialist assigned to my delivery to respond to a single email... Not one... Yes, frustrating... In any case, my Model X delivery is coming up and we are taking delivery at the Fremont factory where we took delivery of our Model S and...

Just curious if anyone knows who does the Powerwall installs for this area? The company that did my solar install doesn't want to work with Tesla for some dumb reason and keeps wanting me to by this crap from LG as "it's just as good"... I don't care, I want a Tesla system to go with my...

Decided to take advantage of the early lease buyout Tesla offered me and ordered a Model X 100D... Tried to find an inventory P100DL with ventilated seats (as that's the one feature I REALLY wanted) but couldn't at a price I was willing to pay... I just really hope that Tesla doesn't add...

Okay so I have to admit up front I always find these threads to be annoying but now I find myself in the unique position of needing just this kind of thread... My Model S lease is up in November and Tesla is offering me the opportunity to swap out "now" which is great but... I'm stuck... I...

Okay so we're taking a trip up to Lake Almanor CA and I'm trying to decide if it's feasible to take our Model S 90D... The closest supercharger is in Corning CA and a destination charger in Susanville but nothing at the lake. I'm really trying to figure out if it's feasible to use the Corning...

So apparently as of 8/1/2018 most of my favorite TuneIn stations have moved to Radio.com... Is anyone else affected by this and does anyone think there is a chance Tesla will support Radio.com anytime soon? On a side note, "streaming rights" is about the biggest load of crap out there... This...

Fully aware that leasing isn't available for the Model 3 yet but does anyone have any inclination as to when that might change? Really like the Model 3 Performance but am only willing to lease... Jeff

I've been around here for awhile and can't recall a single time I've ever heard of, or seen, posts deleted... That was until today... Now that's what TMC represents? Openly deleting posts some random moderator doesn't agree with? Jeff

Since there seems to be an unending flood of threads where people can't seem to stop whining about being nagged, I thought I'd start one for those of us who can follow directions and are getting zero nags... 2018.21.9 - 500-1000 miles of AP1 driving, zero nags. Not one. Look, I know this is a...

So apparently Steve Wozniak is not very thrilled with Tesla and even threw in a minor crash reference as some not so subtle hint that he didn't think it was his fault... Does anyone here think Elon should respond given the high profile nature of Woz? He has some valid criticism that have been...

Let me start by saying I realize there are people here who don't like me, have claimed to have put me on ignore, etc... As such, I expect that whoever reads this thread won't agree with what I'm about to say but I feel like this needs to be said somewhere and this looks like the best spot just...

Saw this article in the SF Chronicle today about Doug Derwin and it is so over the top crazy of a response that I couldn't help but ask the community here what their take on it is... This Bay Area man is spending millions to break Elon Musk's Trump ties Jeff

Feel free to merge as needed but I seem to recall something about a new firmware version coming... 8.1...??? It was supposed to be in December, then by the end of January, then...??? It's like it's completely disappeared without a trace... Did I miss something or are we dealing with another...

Am I the only one here who's uncomfortable with Elon's seemingly budding bromance with Cheeto Jesus (aka President of the United States whom I'll never call by name)? The cozier it gets, the more concerned I become... What exactly is Elon's motive here? Anyone have any thoughts on the matter...

Okay so the real purpose of this thread is to discuss what and why Tesla seems to have so many inconsistencies in the design studio, dropping and adding things without any rhyme or reason. The complete and total lack of communication as to why these random changes are made and the impact to...

I didn't post this in any of the actual model forums because this applies to not only the S, but the X as well... Many, many members here seem to really loath v8.0. Some for reasons that are extremely valid, and I'm sure extremely frustrating to those affected. Reasons such as the poor...

Just saw this on the front page of NBCNews.com... The article makes it sound like Tesla is on the brink of collapse... Tesla plans to raise more funds, faces severe cash crunch Anyone know the facts on this??? Jeff

Okay so my S90D is only 9 months old, on a 3 year lease, but I WANT a P100DL... (S or X haven't decided which one yet) I have never traded out of an existing lease before so I want to try to understand how this works with Tesla before I reach out to them... I understand I'm going to get hit...

Good Morning... (or afternoon, or evening, or tomorrow depending on where you are), So last week the family and I took a vacation to San Diego from the SF Bay Area in our Model S90D and I wanted to share some observations from that trip and what we learned from taking our Model S. This won't...

Okay so I had an appointment yesterday to drop off my Model S to correct some things that need correcting, nothing major. Yet, they've had the car over 24hours and haven't moved it an inch from where they parked it when they took it from me. What is the point of having a service appointment if...

So I have an appointment with my SC for next Monday for some dash rattle issues that have finally gotten bad enough for me to care, no big deal there. Also need to get the front passenger door realigned as the B pillar wind noise is getting out of hand. However, since we took the car to Tahoe...

For some reason, Bob Lutz really seems to have it out for Tesla... Why??? http://www.profitconfidential.com/stock/tsla-stock-tesla-motors-inc-is-a-lousy-business/ As we all know this isn't the first time he's said Tesla will fail, and it likely won't be the last... Making claims about EV...

Good Afternoon, Just had two questions... How hard is this to have removed once Tesla installs it? I have a lease and would like to keep it when I turn my car in. Is there anyone around the SF Bay Area that has one installed I could look at before I buy one? Thanks!!! Jeff

Okay so my apologies for asking such a question but does anyone know how\where I can stream Warriors games in my Model S? I have AM680 set in my car but the signal sucks since it's AM... I have KNBR set as part of my tunein but it blacks out during games... Anyone have any ideas? ;) Thanks!!! Jeff

Anyone have any idea when the Model X design studio will be open for everyone, at any time, like the Model S design studio currently is? My apologies if I missed this question before... Thanks, Jeff

My apologies if this goes into a rant but it's a bit ridiculous that Tesla can't keep stock of their "Premium Rear Consoles"... I emailed them to ask when they'd have the one for my car (black leather, carbon fiber trim) and basically was told they don't know when and it's first come first serve...

Took delivery on 11/25, noticed on 11/27 that the passengers side seatbelt is defective as it randomly engages the tension lock mechanism to where you can't pull the belt out far enough to fasten it. Took it by the Dublin service center who confirmed the issue and ordered a new seatbelt for me...

I have more of a question on this than anything so I didn't want to put it in the supercharger sub-forum. In any case, for those of you who go to South Lake Tahoe (we go at least once a year), are you surprised there isn't some superchargers there yet? I don't really see any plans for one...

Okay so this may not be the right sub-forum but I struggled with a location for this... In any case I'm looking at purchasing a TED for my HPWC but it won't be just for that and I'm struggling to understand what is the best option for my setup. Before I get into that though I'd like to see if...

I'll keep it brief but my wife and I finally bit the bullet and put the deposit down today and ordered or Model S 90D. I'm about as excited as you can get and it's gonna take forever to get to "Late November" which I'm sure is no surprise to anyone, ever... :) The Walnut Creek store is just...

I'd really love to know how much big oil paid this tool box to write something so completely ignorant on a "tech" website... Wow... http://bgr.com/2015/09/15/tesla-vs-porsche-mercedes-analysis/ Jeff

If I were to order a HPWC from the Tesla store today, how long would it take for them to process the order and ship it based on the experience from those of you who have done so? Thanks, Jeff

I am native of KS, living in CA now, but when looking at the plans for superchargers in the KS region I see one glaring hole that I think will need filled. While I have no idea how many Model S's are in Wichita, it seems to be that when driving to southern Johnson County, a supercharger is...

I must be confused or maybe I just missed something but are these the same two colors with different names? Or is the "Deep Blue Metallic" just like the "old" blue? I REALLY loved the Ocean Blue, which I believe is the color on the homepage 70D. What happened? Jeff

Okay so I've read a few things here and want to make sure I understand this. I searched but didn't seem to find a complete picture of what I was looking for so if I missed it then my apologies. I have a TOU plan from PG&E for EVs and my off-peak rate is .09/kWh. In my volt I can put into the...
