    Tesla replaced both my HV and LV batteries

    Driving to pickup dinner on Sunday night and I noticed the “Acceleration and top speed reduced” message. No regen brakes and the car just felt/drove weird. Parked in front of the restaurant and grabbed the meal. Got back in to return home and got all these other messages with the worst one being...

    2019 FSD upgrade done…or is it?

    So I just got the FSD computer upgrade on my 2019 MS and am super pumped! The calibration was done within 10 miles and I was super excited to start enjoying some FSD sweetness but I had just reached home so I waited for my next trip to activate visualizations. Flash forward two days and I’m...

    I just bought a 2019 Model S with EAP. No traffic light control.

    So I'm not really interested in FSD. But I'm super pumped about EAP with traffic light and stop sign control. I thought I'd have it with this car but it turns out I don't :-( I have Extended Autopilot (which is great BTW) but I'd really like to get the traffic light / stop sign control. It looks...

    2016 Model S 90D

    Purchased from Tesla in 2020. Warranty just expired. Got lots done prior to warranty expiration (SC guys are my buds at this point). No free supercharging. No infotainment upgrade. Carfax report shows accident prior to my purchase. No issues. I still have the report as well as all invoices from...

    Time to trade in the ‘16 S for something newer…

    I bought my ‘16 S from Tesla in February 2020 and it was a great experience. Car was in Georgia, I’m in Maryland. I decided to fly down and drive it back and it was absolutely the best way to get used to the car! now I’m eying some of these 2020 models and am wondering if I should trade my S in...

    Interior storage solutions...

    I absolutely love my model S however sometimes the clean design of the interior leaves one with very few options for storing personal effects. Has anyone come across a solution that cleanly takes care of this?

    Emergency brake assistance

    I just realized after three months of owning my model S I’ve never had the emergency brake assistance engage. Is there a safe way to test it?

    Still says “Ready for Pickup”

    I picked up my car from the SC 5 days ago and my app still says “Ready for Pickup”. Is there any way to change this?

    Sensor is a little inset

    Should this concern me? I noticed one of the front sensors is a bit inset (see pic).

    Dash cam for 2016 S HW1

    I’m considering a new dash cam for my MS. I have this one from my old car: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DF8MQX1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_T7XKEb0YBRM19 It worked great but I need to get the sticky mount reapplied and am putting off the install because of basic laziness. These look like they’re...

    Free unlimited supercharging and premium connectivity

    Anyone else notice all off sudden you’ve got free unlimited supercharging and premium connectivity? Bought my ‘16 MS from Tesla in February, picked it up in GA and drove it home to DC (supercharging and getting billed the whole way). I looked at my car info page on tesla.com yesterday and it...

    Is my MS corked?

    I just got a 2016 MS 90D and it's the bees knees for sure!!! I can't help but notice though that the zippy acceleration isn't the insane, neck snapping level as the new MS I test drove. Also, the region braking isn't as effective. Could this mean that my car is.....CORKED??? I've combed the...

    Premium Connectivity...?

    So I got my 2016 MS 90D Friday and drove it home from ATL->DC and...man....I LOVE THIS CAR!!! BUT.... When I was driving about back here at home I noticed that the nav had a message saying "Routing without traffic data". This puzzled me a bit, so I went to my account later to see if I could...

    AP v1

    So I'm picking up my 2016 Model S 90D in 10 days and I'm going nuts with excitement! I'm curious about the AutoPilot. It's enabled, that's confirmed. But it looks like it's v1 (manufactured 9/2016, missed it by ONE MONTH!!!). Does that make a big difference? I'm pretty sure it'll crush any...

    Body color roof vs pano...thoughts?

    Do you get more head room with the pano? I’m thinking the body color roof would be better for roof racks. Thoughts?

    Rendered image only...

    I found a used MS with all the features I want however there are no actual photos of the vehicle. Does this mean I can put down my deposit and expect nothing less than a perfect car upon delivery?

    Home charger rebate...

    Currently on the hunt for our first EV. In my research, I’m looking into the rebate programs offered by our local electric company (PEPCO). It looks like they only offer a rebate for a non-Tesla home charger by an outfit called Chargepoint. Has anyone had any experience with these vs the Tesla...

    Used Tesla with cracked bumper

    So when doing my daily search through Tesla's inventory I came across a vehicle with an obvious crack along half of the rear bumper. I asked my "advisor" (***more on that later) if this would be repaired and he said it would not. That how it'll be delivered. It's a pretty bad crack and looks as...

    Purchasing used MS from Tesla vs 3rd party

    Does anyone here have any experience buying a used Tesla from a 3rd party dealership? My search thus far has been solely within Tesla’s used inventory but I just found a pretty nice deal on a 2016 70D with some nice options from another dealership. Will Tesla still honor the warranty and give me...

    ISO 2016 Model S

    I've reserved a 2013 MS on Turo for 2 days next weekend just to "be sure" I want a Tesla but I'm fairly certain it's a done deal... That said, once/if the wifey agrees, I'll be in full-scale hunting mode for a 2016 MS. We'll probably wind up going through Tesla but the whole delivery process...

    Tesla's Used Inventory

    I've never even driven a Tesla before, so I'll probably rent one for a day on Turo to get a feel. I'm fairly certain we'll be getting one by the end of Q1!!! I've been regularly searching Tesla's used inventory for a sweet deal on a Model S using the EV-CPO search engine. The thing is, when I...

    Thinking about a used Model S

    I currently drive an embarrassingly inefficient SUV and have been giving serious consideration toward making an electric our next vehicle. As much as I’d love to get a Model X, we simply can’t afford one. The current prices I’m seeing for used Model S make it a no-brainer from a financial...
