Welp.. NCDS says they only arbitrate if the warranty is still active when they get the request. If you file it with Tesla under warranty and they run the clock out trying the UV fix before they deny it as a warranty issue, NCDS won't touch it. Guess I'll try putting it in the garage with a UV...

Just stumbled upon this thread.. My 2018 S developed the yellow ring near the beginning of the year, they cancelled one appointment to address it (COVID staff shortages) then got around to the UV treatment a month before the warranty ran out. Didn't work (though improved it some), tried it...

I had a 2013 S. Last year I test-drove the 3 and then bought a 2018 S instead. The trunk on the 3 just isn't comparable to the cargo space in the S for road trips and carrying pets around town. My replacement for this one might be a 2022 Y, but a 3 just isn't viable for me.

We occasionally charge outside. I've got a couple shims of wood slightly thicker than the cable I place on either side before closing the garage door so it won't push directly on the cable, they're still thin enough the door thinks it's closed and didn't hit an obstruction. Right now if we...

Set the master HPWC to the max the breaker and power cable size will support (so assuming they used the right cable, 100A breaker / 80A derated load in your case). The car will draw the maximum the onboard charger can use as long as the HPWC is advertising at least that much. If you've got two...

There's a footnote in the manual to the effect of - if you run the data cable in the same conduit as the power feed, the insulation rating on the data cable must be equal or greater than the insulation rating on the power cables. Most signal cable has a 300v rating while THHN/THWN typically has...

I once knew a guy who did, at least with his entertainment center. He couldn't bear the thought of paying for electricity to keep the TV and DVD in standby mode. And this was around 2000, before Smart TVs and DVRs actually had any appreciable standby power requirements. Seemed like a lot of...

Leave it plugged in. The receptacle side has a rated number of plug/unplug cycles before the contacts will wear out or lose their spring and make poor contact, and there's no reason to continually plug and unplug it.

We picked mine up at Wilmington St a few weeks ago. The only problem I had at that point was after I requested in email and they confirmed we were going to transfer my vanity plate from my older S (that they were not doing a trade-in on), when we showed up to get the car, all the paperwork was...

My 2013 and my wife's AP1 car got V9, my new 2018 S I picked up two days later did not have it yet (and still does not). After driving V9, I find the V8 UI harsh and much prefer V9. I'm hoping my new one gets it soon. Summon on AP1 seems a lot more aggressive with the 1" lip on the concrete...

Thanks, that's what I was looking for.

Car has been sold.

Does anyone have a recommendation for signal cable (and where to source it) to use between HPWCs when setting them up for load sharing, IF I want to use the power conduit? The install manual states if it's in the same conduit that it have a voltage rating equal or greater than the insulation...

No. There's never been any indication there's anything wrong with the battery. The battery and drive train are under the unlimited mileage warranty until June 2021 It does not have an ESA. I'm not sure what options are available for a third-party extended warranty on Teslas.

I've been driving v9 since last Tuesday in a 2013 and 2015 S. The 2018 S I picked up yesterday hasn't gotten the update yet, and I find the v8 UI really harsh, even though I've been using it for over 5 years and it's only been a week since I upgraded. I can't wait until the 2018 gets the update...

2018: Charge port and door replaced Left passenger airbag replaced (recall) 12v battery replaced one of the TPMS sensors replaced all lug nuts were replaced 2017: Rear passenger window regulator replaced Master charger replaced RH rear suspension components replaced, RH rear quarter panel...

New price, $31,000 or make me an offer.

I'm selling my 2013 "Classic" Model S to make room for a new one. - VIN P11392 - 71,361 miles - 85kWh battery - Unlimited Transferable Supercharging - Unlimited battery / Powertrain warranty through June 8, 2021 - Black paint - All glass panoramic roof (sunroof) - Black leather interior - Piano...

After we showed up last Saturday and they didn't have the car (an inventory S coming in from VA), Vegas called Friday and said they had the car in Raleigh now, and scheduled me for pickup on Sunday at the service center (which, BTW, Tesla corporate is still giving out the address of the service...

My 2013 S got v9 today, along with my wife's 2015 AP1. We mostly drove the latter today, but I did play around with the UI in the 2103 right after it upgraded. The IC didn't seem to change, but the center console got the new UI. FM direct tune works on both ours, it doesn't seem to be limited...

I'm in the camp that's not using turn-by-turn every drive, but I almost always keep the map on the top half of the screen for situational awareness, and I actually like the 3/4 display it can do with the small media player now in v9.

Got a call from Vegas early last week they'd have my inventory S ready soon, and they were going to do a home delivery. Got an email late Wednesday night from the Raleigh team that it was supposed to arrive Friday, and scheduled a pickup at the sales office for 2pm Saturday, and would try to...

They emailed me late last night for pickup of my new inventory S sometime this weekend, apparently they're still trying to decide whether it's going to be pickup there or home delivery, after a couple people told me last week it would be home delivery.

Tesla's original trade in offer on my 2013 85S was $22,200. CarMax said $31,000, although that was only good for 7 days and has since expired, so we'll see what they offer the second time around. Tesla said they wouldn't match CarMax, but they are apparently looking at trying to come closer...

Last month we picked up a 2015 CPO S from Raleigh to replace my wife's car, and at the same time I did test drives of the P3D and X, as I was interested in replacing my 2013 S as well and wasn't sure what I wanted to replace it with, but I did want to beat the end of the referral program for...

Actual has to be at or below the listed value, within a certain range. The 50 value accounts for mileage in testing at the factory plus on and off the transporter, shuffling around the delivery center lot, etc.

It's a known defect on those MCUs, the adhesive they used to bond the touch panel to the display fails in the heat after ~5 years. If it's got a CPO warranty or ESA it should be covered. Our local service guy quoted me "about 3k" (didn't get the formal quote) to fix mine out of warranty, since...

Personal opinion, but drywall repair isn't that hard; it takes a couple days just because you need to let the joint compound set overnight a couple times.. Cut a 1 foot horizontal strip out of the drywall with a drywall saw or utility knife, drill and run your wire, screw the strip you cut out...

What's the finish in your garage? If you're running the romex inside an un-drywalled stud-bay, it's considered protected in most jurisdictions, although some towns only allow that for vertical runs; if it's running between multiple studs, the wall should be finished to enclose it, or the...

See if they'll test your home setup with a loaner vehicle, both immediate charging and scheduled after it's plugged in a while. Also see if you can test your car against a 240v *residential* source somewhere else, preferably a town or two over (my service manager used the HPWC in his house...

I had something similar happen about a year ago to mine. It would charge fine at the service center and public chargers (208v) but fail on my UMC (at 240v). Initially they said it was over voltage at my house according to the car logs, and it took about a week of diagnostics, swapping UMCs, and...

I had a deer run into the driver's side front quarter panel and doors after about 6 months of ownership in December of 2013, then last April a distracted driver ran a stop in a parking lot and hit the passenger side at the rear wheels and quarter panel. 4-5 weeks in the shop and just under $10k...

I've had two trips to the shop in the 13,000 miles since my 2013 S went out of warranty: a rear window regulator failed and the window wouldn't roll up, the 12v battery failed, one of the TPMS sensors failed, and a few lug nuts were getting out of tolerance and my tire shop wanted new ones...

Mine (mid-2013) started giving me the TPMS needs service message when it got cold intermittently a few weeks ago, and it's latched on permanently with the 7 day below freezing streak we've had; my 12v battery seems to be unhappy with the cold too, so it's going in to get both of them fixed this...

Is the at-fault insurance must provide like for like mandated in the UK? US they just begrudgingly give you whatever they can get for like $30/day, which is certainly not like for like if you drive a higher end car. When I got hit in North Carolina the at-fault parties insurance (USAA) gave me a...

We stopped at Lumberton, NC Sunday afternoon, all 4 slots were occupied; three left shortly after we got there and one more showed up. Two of the stalls were charging at ~30kW with nobody on the paired pedestal. The Myrtle Beach supercharger only had a couple other cars there both Sunday...

Depending on when they start declaring concrete dates, we'll probably head down from NC. I was there for for CRS-4, CRS-6, CRS-9, and GOES-R.

So for anyone out there who did not know this, here is how it works: a) Say you owe $10,000 to the Feds in April (again, most people never owe even close to that). If you qualify in time for the full $7500, you would now owe the Feds on $2500. b) Say you only owe $2000 to the Feds, your $7500...

BTLE describes the whole protocol stack that's related to but not the same as full power Bluetooth. It was made to be more power efficient, hence the name, but you can implement it on anything. iOS for example, allows you to use BTLE in apps without having the accessory run through the Made for...

Anyone else having this problem? I'm wondering if it's time for a call to the service center again. A few months ago, my S (2014, ~47,000 miles) started periodically not responding to touch on the center console immediately after getting in and turning the car on, but otherwise the screen...

Make the "GPS homelink auto-open/close" chime happen 15 seconds earlier when the "Skip" button pops up, not as it's actually sending the signal out. I want to know when I'm close enough to override it if I want, not once it's too late to stop.

Mine's a 2013 (delivered June) and the power lift gate was part of the $3750 Tech package back then; I had a service loaner with a VIN within a couple thousand of mine shortly after delivery that didn't have the tech package and a manual trunk. As far as I know, it's always been an upgrade in...

Everything's produced in California; all of the pre-launch video was from the Hawthorne factory / mission control. Once the stage is built, they ship it by truck to Texas for test-firing, then Florida for launch, but they run the launch out of California.

I think it's just the ramp off 95, the on-ramp looked open but I'm not sure. I was going to stop in on my return trip yesterday but couldn't get there due to the off-ramp closure.

Just a small heads up, Exit 3 on 95 NB was closed this morning, and looked like it was going to be for at least a few more days. If they do open this one this week and you're coming from the south, you need to plan ahead and look for the detour at Exit 1. I'm not sure the nav system will know...

As of about a half hour ago, the Norfolk Supercharger was showing as online on my center console.

No. A bunch of drivers couldn't follow the rules repeatedly (spilling into customer parking, driving dangerously) and Waverly Place kicked them out. I think the organizers got sick of dealing with rule breakers and stopped rather than find a new spot.

Why would I want to put more cycles on the battery in the car than I have to, or run the risk of having less charge in the car when I want to run out than I expected? Also, during the day the car isn't in the garage, and at night it's charging. My car is in exactly the wrong place at the wrong...
