I tend to buy and sell cars very frequently. My wife's father and brother were Ford dealers so she grew up accustomed to there being a new car in the garage every few months. I read a WSJ article recently reporting that used car values have risen due to the post lock down buying boom. I have...

I own a 2019 standard range 3 and just called to order another one but was told that they are no longer available. Anyone had the same experience or know when they stopped offering the $35k model?

Just ordered fob holder. Thanks for the link.

I was disappointed today to receive my key fob and see it does not have a opening to attach a key ring that would allow me to hang the fob on my key board next to my garage door. So when my car is at home in my garage I would like to leave the fob in the car so I don't have to find a special...

After 750 miles mostly in town without AC or Heat I am at 187. I do tend to drive very conservatively and enjoy the challenge of achieving the lowest possible Wh/mile.

ewoodrick - If you were too bored to read the entire post it would also been a better use of your time not to post a sarcastic reply.

I recently purchased a software limited M3 (220 mi range). October first I did a 90% charge which showed 200 mile range. In the past 20 days I have driven 119 around town conservative miles which are reflected in my 170 watts/mile usage since last charge. My battery icon currently shows 54...

On the top right of my screen between my driver setting name and the wifi strength indicator is a small black dot that shows a red center when touched. I have looked thru the owner's manual but still can not figure out what it is. Help???

My understanding is that whatever the CarMax written offer is, the Charlotte Tesla store will apply that as a trade. I don't know if they take the trade-in car to CarMax or do something else.

I owned a 2014 MS for a couple years but caught a frugality bug and traded it for a Honda Accord. I can afford most anything I want, but having worked for my money, tend be a "value' oriented consumer. I think my newer (2018) Accord LX is the best value midsize ICE sedan available today under...

Had a scheduled delivery at 11:00am today in Charlotte, NC. Decided at the last minute to trade a Prius so had it appraised at CarMax. The delivery person was pleasant about the unexpected trade but indicated it would take a couple hours to redo the paperwork since everything had to go thru...

I want to punch a hole in my key cards in order to attach a key ring. Does anyone know where the chip is located in the card?

Went to the Charlotte, NC store last Saturday to order a "software limited" SR+. Had read a Car and Driver article saying that the base price had just beed dropped back to $35,000. Told the sales rep what I wanted and he said he had never ordered one and did not know how but find out. He...

I had a 2014 Model S and remember all the discussion about best charging practice. I am about pick up a Software limited standard range M3 which reduces the range from 240 to 220 miles. Since the battery is being "limited" by around 10% does that result in a charge setting of 90% actually only...

I do not like the black wheels. Has anyone replaced those with aftermarket wheels? If so how does the 3 monitor tire pressure? Are there sensors in the wheels or is based on revolution variance similar to the way my Accord works? I may not be using the best terminology.

4/5/2014 (My 45th wedding anniversary) 8154 264 NC S85 19

I noticed it within the first 3 months of owning my car. Disappointing. Have not done anything about it yet but assuming I use a black magic market to darken the black post corner that is showing the worst wear.

I live in Pinehurst but am out of town this weekend. Also did not know about this Saturday morning event. Would be interested in going first Saturday in September if other Tesla owner plan to attend.

This is my first post. Have had my 85, 19" wheels for 5 weeks. As others have said don't normally drive this many miles but several 200 mile or so trips have added up. Most of the miles are non-interstate, regular NC highways at modest speeds in the 55-60 range plus normal around town errands.

I picked my Blue 85 up in Raleigh last Friday. Taylor said they were delivering 5 that day. I took the paperwork to DMV on Monday and no real issues after I realized that I needed two forms that Tesla had not provided. A NC title application and another - I think it was documenting my wife...

Picked up my Blue 85 two days ago in Raleigh. Ordered April 4. Delivered May 31. Pretty fast. Just hope that when this initial demand backlog is satisfied the orders hold up. VIN 11129.

Picked my Blue 85 up two days ago in Raleigh. Just an amazing car. I live in a small community only 2 miles from my part time job so most days my total miles are 10-15 depending on errands around town. Every other weekend we drive to Charlotte 125 miles each way. Other than the night before...

Thanks. I knew rebooting would probably do it but did not remember how to reboot..

Picked up my car yesterday in Raleigh. Web access was working fine and we pulled up the Tesla Clock website others have talked about. Very cool. On the way home I noticed that the clock was no longer working and today can not get any web access. I'm sure it is a simple fix but being a...

Is my understanding correct that the reservation deposit is fully refundable until the purchase agreements are electronically signed via "DocuSign"?

Josh: Thanks for an excellent analysis. I have a Blue 85 due in 4 weeks and a Grey 60 for my wife due in 8 weeks. I love cars, can afford two nice cars, but am also very value oriented. I did not originally order tech on my 85 but changed my mind after confirming my configuration. Called...

Just got my VIN: 11,129 - - - Updated - - - Oops - my VIN is for my Blue 85. Grey 60 is still a few weeks out.

Delivery button for me this morning on my Blue 85. Ordered 4/5. Finalized 4/18. Delivery window 5/29-6/12.

Have you found somewhere to purchase a "small donut" 19" wheel/tire that fits the car?

Don't guess I need any more feedback. Just hit the purchase button for a grey 60 with grey leather/lacewood. As suggested by someone earlier I decided to not surprise her in order to give her the chance to be part of the color selection. Now the second wait begins.

Excellent point so I did just that. Took her to the Raleigh service center yesterday. Saw most all colors except grey. She liked the silver that was cleaned for delivery but after looking at pictures on line last night prefers the grey with grey interior. So last choices today before hitting...

I am getting ready to order a 60 kWh car for my wife to share the garage with my Blue 85kWh. We looked at several colors at the Raleigh, NC service center today. They had a silver in the prep area all shiny and ready for delivery. As I think all the colors are, it was drop dead gorgeous...

I am considering ordering a Grey 60kWh as a surprise for my wife to share the garage with my Blue 85kWh. Appreciate feedback on what color interior folks are seeing or have selected. Thanks.

Vanity License Plates I expect to receive my Blue, 85kWh car in a few weeks and am trying to come up with several vanity plate options that have not been already taken here in NC. The obvious Tesla, My Tesla, Electric, Plug In, etc are gone. TE$LA and a few others I have come up with are...

I did not order the Tech pkg with my 85kw, Blue MS. When I saw a MS at the Raleigh service center, the mgr told me that my MS' screen would show maps and track my movement while driving but would not have any of the normal navigation functions such as directions or time to destination. Three...

I did not order the Tech package on my 85kw, Blue MS. When I looked at a MS at the Raleigh service center the mgr told me my car's screen would show maps and would "track" my location while I am driving but would not have the capability of navigating me to a destination and would not show any...

I know color preferences vary dramatically from person to person. Otherwise we would live in a pretty bland world. I have just ordered a 85kWh Model S with Blue Metallic exterior and Tan leather interior with Obeche wood matte. I was wavering between the blue and black having not seen...
