what are the "early production issues" besides the door handles? i'd like to know what else we have to look forward to! lol.

That's great and I do hope things continue that way for you. We loved our model S. Few to no issues and a dream to drive, but at 6 years old it started slowly imploding. :( After this experience, with the battery failing, needing a new drive train, bi-monthly visits to the service center, i'm...

I would not, under any circumstances, buy or keep a Tesla that is more than 6 years old. The experience with our 2013 Model S has been very informative.

Can I please run our experience by the forum and ask if anyone with knowledge can comment on whether this sounds right or not? A few weeks ago, we woke up to find A flat tire on our 2013 model S. A flat fix shop took a look and saw some wheel damage. We ordered a new wheel and brought it to pep...
