    Thinking to buy 2019 Model S Performance

    Carmax has had a few, but they go quick. Several have popped up on Cargurus. A few on there have been for sale over a month at less than 100k, and not a lot of miles.

    Thinking to buy 2019 Model S Performance

    Refresh 21’s have been popping up in the 95-99k range. Ravens aren’t much different. Hard to pass up the new “LR” unless you really like the old controls. I had a P85D now a 21 M3P, kinda in the same boat. Really miss the S, and the refresh has some of the best features of my 3. Door pockets...

    Phantom braking survey

    It’s pretty bad in my 21 model 3. Not much to report with my old p85d. Maybe a couple of times ever with ap1. The new car phantom brakes constantly.

    Discount tire refusing to install winter tires on Model S Plaid?

    There you go. They won’t install them if the tire has a lower load index. I had the same problem and it was only off by 1 or 2, they won’t budge due to liability.

    Discount tire refusing to install winter tires on Model S Plaid?

    What’s the required load index? 100 might not be enough

    Cannot for the life of me decide an exterior/interior combination

    MSM with white interior, love it. The white is a nice pearl so while common it’s not fleet vehicle white. Although blue is my favorite I’d take anything except black.

    M3 performance lifetime average Wh per mile

    At 2600 miles my 2021 with 20’s is just over 300 or 290’s last I looked. Some trips are better than others. Old P85D was always 350+

    2020 Model S Performance- Front end feels squirrely at higher speeds!

    Performance model do you have 21” wheels/tires? My car has been close to the max speed and never felt unstable. Sounds like you’re an observant driver, maybe just getting used to a different car? Have you tried changing steering selection? Ride height? Not sure what the options are new...

    BEV vs. ICE

    Filling up with fuel is child's play. It takes some cajones to nap while charging at 100kW ;) JK We have my Tesla, Fusion Energi, diesel F250, and NV3500. Would have no problem going all electric if our needs could be met.

    Show off your aftermarket wheels.

    Nothing that hasn’t been done before, but my P85D.

    Requesting expertise on buying from tesla.com/used vs dealership

    Bought mine from a 3rd party dealer but was mostly looking to buy from Tesla. Just happened to find one that was close, mostly everything I wanted, and a pretty decent price. Almost immediately did about 3k in repairs and its been great since. Not positive but those repairs may have been covered...

    Would You Buy a New Model S Today?

    I feel like buying my used P85D was sorta rolling the dice. Haven't bought a used car in ages yet alone one and that was 5 years old when purchased. Had to fix a few things at first like front shafts, wheel hubs?, a few other small parts. Maybe 3k in repairs. Since then it has been great. A real...

    Quality Issues on Model S built in March 2020

    Wow sorry to hear you are having such terrible service with a new car. It looks like some of the paint defects might be from shipping? I recall one new car having something similar. Dealer blamed it on rail transportation.

    Custom plates

    Mine reads ITS SBD. Wanted just plain SBD but system wouldn't accept or its taken. Silent But Deadly :cool:

    Blog Tesla Considering Cybertruck Factory in Central U.S.

    A native Californian now fellow Hoosier here, I agree. This state seems to be very manufacturing friendly, and knowing incentives the state has granted in the past Indiana deserves a good look by Tesla. Crossroads of America!

    GREAT experience - Indianapolis Service center

    Good to hear! Sure I’ll be visiting them at some point soon.

    Safe acceleration

    First ticket I ever got was “exhibition driving/jackrabbit start”. Never exceeded the speed limit though

    Thoughts on depreciation?

    The MS has depreciated a lot already while the 3 hasn’t but will. New car, newer tech, and a full warranty vs a crapshoot. I rolled the dice and bought a P85D with 48k for about 48k. It will most likely cost me $$$ out of pocket for repairs and that’s a risk I’m willing to take. At this point...
