OK, let's dispense with all of the usual non-productive comments up front. Yes, you should never leave a credit card or other similarly thin object on top of the center console sliding door. Yes, you can always get a replacement card from your bank (although you'll have the hassle of re-writing...

I took my Model S through an automatic car wash the other day and now a piece of paint about the size of a dime just fell off the driver’s side door and my side view mirror paint is peeling too. I called the certified shop in Lakeland and they wanted $2300 for these two tiny blotches because...

After my last software update (2019.40.2.1) in December the nav system worked fine for several weeks. Then all of a sudden, the other day I got the "!" of death and it won't plot a course. I went to the Tesla App to schedule a service appointment and only a mobile service schedule came up. I...

I ran an errand last night and when I got back into the car, the a/c wouldn't come on. It was cooling perfectly fine on the way over, no issues at all. Then nada. That leads me to believe it's a software glitch as opposed to something mechnical. I have rebooted and powered on/off a dozen times...

Does anyone else feel ripped off at this point for shelling out the bucks for the “upgraded” audio system? On the totem pole of things the Tesla software engineers seem to care about, I’d say we’re about five feet underground and crushed by weight of other priorities. I was so damn mad this...

Hi again fellow Houstonians, So I've decided that the cost of refinishing my OEM wheels puts me pretty close to new wheel territory. I've picked out a new set at Tire Rack, but I'm looking for an installer to remove the OEM tires and TPMS from my OEM 19" wheels and install the OEM tires and...

I want to spruce up some curb rash on a couple of my OEM 19" wheels. Does anyone have a shop that did a good job at this kind of work for them? Thanks.

I'm just curious if anyone has been notified that their reservation is about to be cancelled and issued a refund because they haven't responded to the call to order or delay? I'm a day-one rez current owner that's waiting for the $35k SR battery option. Now that they've started to deliver...

Like many folks here, the standard brackets don't work for my iPhone 7+; the large ones are too wide and the small ones are too thin. Its like Goldilocks, I guess. Has anyone 3-D printed some that are "just right"? Seems like a budding cottage industry given the many sizes and shapes of mobile...

I am using Metadatics software (which is a fantastic program) to tag my music files. So I have been inelegantly using the following method to play music from various artists and have the TESLA entertainment software keep it organized as one album in playing sequence with many songs instead of...

I went to the supercharger at my local Service Plus location at lunch and there was no sales staff there. When I asked the service guy about it he said that all of the sales people were let go. Anyone else notice this at their location?

Its been awhile since anyone posted about this, so I thought I'd relate a little story to the group. Two days ago I parked the car and went in for lunch. When I came out, the hood of my car had a nice big bird bomb impact on it with a couple of secondary splashes across the hood. We have a...

A new Massdrop is up Massdrop: Bringing Enthusiasts Together if 15 people commit, the purchase price is $259.99 plus shipping.

Periodically all of the sound goes out, not just the radio, but the nav, turn signals, everything. Reboot, it's okay. Yesterday, the a/c, the SiriusXM radio, Slacker and iPhone integration went haywire. The USB still played and the sound worked for other things. Reboot, it's okay. I've done...

So I'm shopping for Pedelec bike (a bicycle that "assists" the rider with a boost from an electric motor when pedaling) and several of the newer models feature the same Panasonic cells as the current generation Model S. I find it funny to read these descriptions as having "Tesla batteries", but...

I got a FB event invite from EVS Motorsports and saw they have a post over on the vendor part of the forum. Vendor - HTX - Gigaparty - presented by EVS Motors I thought I might go and check it out. Anyone else from the area?

As a first-time EV owner I am still trying to become familiar with all of the aspects of battery-driven performance. The other day, I was "punching it" when the car suddenly backed off the acceleration a little bit, kind of like when the engine skips in an ICE. There were no strange noises or...

Not exactly the 8.1 update I was hoping for, but my maps updated today. The look of the terrain map and the street map a little bit better than before.

Just in case any new owners in the Houston area are wondering; I can confirm that an EZ-Tag placed on the windshield to the passenger's side of the rear view mirror works just fine with toll readers. I haven't been back to work since taking delivery, but I suspect it will also work with our gate...

I'm so glad I ordered my matte Obeche Wood trim when I did. Both Obeche Wood options (glossy and matte) are now history. The only three choices remaining are dark Ash (standard); Figured Ash (+$750); or, Carbon Fibre (+$1k).

My wife and I will both have electric cars when my Tesla gets here in a few weeks. When that happens, there's no more excuse for us to switch over to wind-powered electricity (not that there's anything stopping us now). As you no doubt know our state is one of the largest producers of wind...

I see a lot of EVS motors as a forum vendor. Any actual owners have experience with them? Others? I've pretty much narrowed my choices to Huper Optik Ceramic, Photosync or CeraLuxe Quantum Ceramic. According to EVS, they are the only authorized installer of Huper in the State. Thanks for your...
