    First problem: rear door glass stuck open

    ugh. Mine failed on Tuesday morning when I closed the door, minutes before I was about to embark on a weeklong road trip into Dante's Inferno (Las Vegas & Palm Springs during the Heat Wave). There was no way I could take my family in the Tesla into 116 temps with the window open. Luckily we had...

    Photos of XPEL Ultimate install on Multi-Coat Red

    My car (blue P85) was the first MS that Evan wrapped (back in March) and I get lots of compliments on the wrap - he does such great work. I can't recommend him enough either. My husband has a McLaren that came pre-wrapped and the wrap job is shamefully subpar compared to Evan's work on my MS...

    San Diego Tint Recommendations?

    Based on another SD Model S owner's recommendation in a different thread, I took my car to Mr. Tint in the Auto Parkway in Escondido. They use Formula One film. They have a lot of experience with the Model S and were fast and professional. You can download a coupon from their website to use too.

    How to handle car wash?

    Yes. Mostly a coastal North County joke. Google "cardiff kook and shark" to see the funniest "vandalism" of the kook. - - - Updated - - - ah... thanks! I just washed, sealed, and waxed my car by hand yesterday. It looks beautiful and is sparkling, but I think from here on out I will go to...

    P85 Loaner Cars! Sweet!!

    If only they had offered to replace those cars - would've been a brilliant fix - but they're not. Instead, they're ripping off my windshield to replace my headliner and my lower dash. Hope everything fits and works again when they're all done! :eek: but, YAAAAAAY about the loaner cars and pick...

    How to handle car wash?

    Lol. Indeed! I think I am also the first Kook with a Model S. I have seen an orange Roadster cruisin' around, but I don't know if he's local. Thanks for the welcome! :smile:

    Upset at Major Headliner Issue - Anyone notice this? (resolved)

    I believe my dash has the synthetic leather too - it is different from the seats and is textured. What are the pros/cons to leatherette vs. nappa leather on the dash? I'm inclined to get the dash replaced with the real leather but would like to hear why so many of you are choosing to keep the...

    Upset at Major Headliner Issue - Anyone notice this? (resolved)

    Called my SA midday today to see if word had trickled down on how to proceed and he had just received a lengthy email before I called about it - great timing! He read it to me and essentially said the same thing as Elon did last night - it included an apology and assumption of responsibility on...

    He was not cc'd. Just the other two.

    How to handle car wash?

    Which car wash is this? I'm in Cardiff. I just picked up my Model S last week and with the rain today - it's in bad need of a wash. I was thinking I needed to start washing myself or hire a mobile detailer.

    I would call your DS or Ownership to confirm.

    Upset at Major Headliner Issue - Anyone notice this? (resolved)

    Well, I have hope again. I ended up sending an email to George B. and Elon Musk late this evening. Elon personally replied within 15 minutes with the commitment to replace the headliner. Here's his response: "My apologies for this. The Alcantara headliner error is indeed our fault and Tesla...

    Upset at Major Headliner Issue - Anyone notice this? (resolved)

    Update: After hearing some of the feedback on here (thank you for your input) and sleeping on it, I called back Ownership this morning and unfortunately had a very frustrating conversation. Having the Alacantra headliner in there completes the car (in addition to a wish for power close button...

    Upset at Major Headliner Issue - Anyone notice this? (resolved)

    I was promised the alcantara retrofit earlier in the week also by my delivery specialist and the Ownership Team and kept waiting for service to contact me to schedule, which they never did. This morning I received an apologetic call from Ownership saying that the attempted retrofits this week...

    Upset at Major Headliner Issue - Anyone notice this? (resolved)

    I picked up my blue P85 on Friday in San Diego and mine has the cloth headliner too. I was very disappointed and am eager to hear Tesla's response to you. I would want it replaced with alcantara as well. The upholstering of the headliner in the rear seat is also misaligned in my car where it...
