I just picked up a new to me 2017 90D a few days ago and of course two days into ownership one of the rear seats gets stuck down. I figure, hey, this is now an 8 year old platform. Surely someone has fixed one of these. And it would appear that no, that is not the case. The official word from...

Duplicate post. My apologies.

Hey all, it's been a few years since I've posted regularly but it seems like this isn't the place to go for used Teslas any longer. Am I wrong? Back in 2015 - 2016 there'd be posts from the same day on page 4. Now it seems there's posts from 3 days ago on the first page. If this isn't the place...

Hello ladies and gents. I'm trying to graph some data for the OG long range, rear wheel drive cars and I'm wondering if you might take a brief moment to help me by sharing some data from your car. Here's what I need: Your range at 80% charge. Your range at 90% charge. Your range at 100% charge...

I posted this on Reddit and everyone that stated they had any kind of change in range posted that they had a drop. I noticed a modest increase in my range and I'm wondering if I'm the only one. My car is a 2017 Long Range Rear Wheel Drive Model 3. Previous 100% charge was 321 miles. Current...

Part of me just wants to STFU about this but I'm also trying to understand why this is happening. I bought a 2017 M3 LR in June. It was used and owned by a Tesla employee. It's VIN 0004xx so it's a very early car with the hard seats (boo) and alcantara headliner (yay). This is my fourth Tesla...

The car is an early VIN (431) with all options, great panel fit, alcantara headliner, etc. It is basically flawless. No issues at all. Selling to send my daughter to a private school so I can win that dad of the year award. Car is located in LA (Studio City area) 17000 Miles Enhanced...

Did any Model 3's other than the Performance (for a short time) get this? I recently purchased a 2017 which was one of the first cars made (VIN: 000431) and it was purchased from an employee. The car has been removed from his account and added to mine. I have no referrals and thus no free...

I literally just bought this Saturday and think I might have gotten a little over rambunctious. I'm in the middle of a divorce and might have bought what I wanted instead of what I need. The car is an early VIN (431) with everything installed, great panel fit, alcantara headliner, etc. It is...

As the the title suggests, I'm looking for a Model 3 in SoCal. I'm not too concerned about color or wheels. I do want the long range battery and don't care about rear wheel drive or all wheel drive. Full Self Driving is great but the car must have at least enhanced autopilot. If it's one of the...

I have a lease that's up in a couple months. I'm debating buying the 3 or perhaps taking over someone's Model S or X lease. I already have a Lease through Tesla (US Bank) so I know I'm approved. Let me know what you have!

Anyone ever had to do this before? My car was rear ended in May. The damage is limited to the bumper cover and the bumper reinforcement under that as well as the hatch needed to be blended and filled in one small spot. The problem here is that Tesla has not sent parts to my body shop and there's...

Hey all. I ordered a Model 3 a couple weeks ago which should be received in a few weeks according to what I'm seeing from everyone else. The car is built with EAP, Tri-coat blue and premium wheels. Long story short, Tesla wouldn't let me out of my S lease so a month ago I decided to put my S...

Hey all! So I have a P85D with AP1 and it's great. I love it. I've been following the saga with the AP2 cars straggling behind the AP1 cars in terms of overall smoothness. I didn't know if that was the same with the AP2.5 cars but I have a Model 3 for the day and the first thing that really...

My Model 3 reservation is close to coming due and my intent was to have someone assume the lease on my P85D when that happened. I called Tesla to ask about the process and they told me they don't allow it unless there's 12 payments left in the lease. I have 10. So then I asked if they're still...

Hey all. I have a 2015 P85D lease I'm looking to have someone assume. The car is fully loaded with everything but air suspension and the 21 inch wheels. Payment is $700 a month ($767 with Cali tax). I'm looking for $3000 down. Here's the catch: This is a really short lease. It's officially up...

It's my understanding that Tesla is going to be shipping cars beginning in California and working their way east as well as giving order priority to those who currently own a Tesla. That said, would a Tesla owner in San Francisco who reserved today and was willing to take a long range car (the...

No demonstration or description of the AC vents, no real shots of the interior, no frunk shots, no trunk shots, no mention of charging, keys, anything. Just a bunch of questions. Weren't we told that he suspected a lot of people were going to be placing orders after watching this? Based on...

Just kind of weighing my options here. I got this car when Tesla was dumping all their service loaners at the end of Q3 2016. It's a fully loaded Pearl white P85D/ Insane with all options but air suspension and rear facing seats. Sitting on the 19" wheels which were my preference over the...

Hey all. I have a buddy that bought a P100D and he's curious as to why his at a 90% state of charge he might supercharge at 27kw but at a 90% state of charge his car will regain at 60kw. He seems to suggest that either they're ramping supercharger speed down too low or they're damaging the...

A few days back a truck turned in front of me in traffic and dragged the side of his vehicle over the front of mine, ripping off my bumper cover, denting my fender and doing other minor damage. It wasn't the end of the world. I zip tied the bumper back on the car and was on my way. Today I...

We need to go to San Francisco this week and I'd prefer an X for the trip. I'd be happy to pay $500 and swap my P85D(insane) for your X for about a week (Likely this Tuesday to next Tuesday). You'd have full use of my car plus $500. The downside for you is I'm putting miles on your car. The...

Am I the only one? On 7.1 and 8.0 I learned to live with surround turning off randomly but this is much more annoying. Almost every time I get in the car the EQ is flat and it's not always flat at 0. Sometimes they're all at 6.5, sometimes 7.5, and sometimes 0 but all the time annoying. Just me?

Can someone with a better memory remind me if there were any promised AP1 features that we never got? I vaguely recall them saying AP1 would give you the functionality of being able to have the car go park itself in a lot but obviously that never came to pass. Given the hardware suite on the...

So with previous versions you used to be able to search destinations by keyword in a map area of your choosing. So if I was in Hollywood and meeting a customer in Orange County I could move the map to that area, search for a Starbucks and then find all the Starbucks around them. With 8.0 if I...

Hey guys. Try as I might, I can't find a phone number for the bank that holds my lease or an account number that I might have with them. I believe US Bank holds Tesla leases but I'm not sure where to call. Does anyone have a contact number for them? Also, has anyone requested a due date change...

I kind of wanted to split this off the V8 megathread. I haven't had an AP car for long but I noticed in 7.1 on my car and on a previous P90D loaner that auto lane change only worked about 50% of the time. It was so inconsistent that I didn't bother using it. I haven't noticed the drastic...

Hey all. I can't seem to find a definitive post on this so I just thought I'd make one. The smart air suspension has been one of my must haves for as long as I've owned Teslas and both of my cars have had them as well as all the loaners I've been given. In a rush to get one of the recent...

I took delivery of my P85D in Burbank last night. Typically Burbank has a few loaners up front as well as a few customer cars but plenty of open parking. When I pulled in last night there was a single open space. The front of the store was lined with brand new cars as were the rest of the...

I'm wondering if I maybe misunderstood today's announcement but what I took away from it is that on an ongoing basis Autopilot will be much less reliant on the camera and much more reliant on radar. This doesn't seem to jive with the recent discovery of the dual camera housing on the Model...

Model: Model S (85Kwh) Year: 2013 Price: $50,000 Mileage: 45,000 on the button today Color: Pearl White over black interior w/ matte obeche wood Options: Tech Package, Ultra High Fidelity Sound System, Air Suspension, All Glass Panoramic roof. Upgrades Continental Tire Pressure Monitoring...

Ok, that's a better post title. I'm not sure if anyone else has done this yet but today I picked this up... Stay tuned for more. Image by Mike K posted Aug 10, 2016 at 7:31 PM

So living in LA I get to see a lot of Model S's and one thing I notice on most as I'm approaching them head on is that the windshield appears to have a slight blueish tint. Similar to the top of the panoramic roof if you're looking at it on a sunny day. Is this UV coating? Was this something...

So we're about to head out on an 8 hour road trip and I range charged the car. 2013 s85 with an A pack. It range charged fine for the trip here to 256 miles, exactly what it's been since I've owned it but now I'm having an issue. The car is currently at 98% and says charging is complete. I...

Everyone's favorite game except not at all. 2013 S85, air suspension, Tech Package, Ambient LED lights, 19" wheels, UHFS and Pano. 44,000 miles, Pearl White over black, great condition. The downsides, A series pack and a low VIN so no parking sensors or folding mirrors. Brutal honesty...

Hey all. Apparently my wife's i3 has an inferiority complex and smacked the bumper of my S while pulling out of our garage yesterday. There is no damage but there are a few areas of missing paint on the bumper cover. I ordered the Tesla branded touchup paint last month for a small scratch on...

Hey all. My wife decided to see if her i3 would win in a fight with a Tesla and smacked my car on the way out of our garage. The damage is superficial and confined to the bumper cover. No gouges or anything like that, just some missing paint. Anyone have any idea on out of pocket costs for...

So I've had an i3 for two weeks now. My wife had an Infiniti FX35 which basically became a lawn ornament the moment I bought my Tesla. The FX35 is considered a "good" SUV and it was good. Build quality was stellar and it was somewhat fast but it was crippled by a 7 speed transmission that made...

I just received my car back from Tesla a couple weeks ago. This was it's second time in for service under my ownership, and second time in for service for many of the same problems. Here's what I sent it in for and what the resolution was: Key Fob replace battery warning - At first I thought...

Come back to your other car to find it locked and running? I'm out of town with a rental car and I've left it parked and running no less than 6 times now. Most recently I came out of a grocery store after 30 minutes and there's my Dodge Charger, locked and running in a parking spot, my brother...

Is this a known thing? I picked up a loaner today, hopped on the expressway and it died at 80mph. It just stops right there. I called my SA and he said it was a new policy. He said it's for their safety and mine however if I already have an identical car with no speed limiter I'm not sure how...

Hey guys. Has anyone seen the new center console Tesla is offering? I'm weighing options for upgrades and trying to determine if this is just their standard center console that they're now permanently installing in every car or if this is a true center console that replaces the entire center...

Here's the scoop guys. After my last salvage car, I got a bug for another project and have been looking for a follow-up. Yesterday that car presented itself to me. The owner is a body shop. They purchased the car, did the bodywork and hoped to then sell it. They got it with 70 miles of range...

You might not be able to see in the pictures but the car had sensors taped to its roof, it's trunk, wires black duct taped to the car and manufacturers plates. We get a lot of test mules out here and this looked like those. Not sure what this means. I know they're resurrecting the brand as Karma...

We just took a trip from LA to Phoenix. On the way we made two stops at superchargers. Both times the car told me I had enough charge to move on with my trip despite the fact that it projected me having 10% battery charge when I got to my destination, basically no buffer. That wouldn't be so...

I recently bought my S. Initially I wondered if I should shell out the extra cash for a 2014 with AutoPilot features but the difference in price was a solid $15,000 for an otherwise identical car and I opted not to. It seemed like a lot of money for what at the time amounted to a parlor trick...

Surely this can't be normal. I'm out of town right now and the car is plugged in at my house. Yesterday morning I checked it for whatever reason and noticed it was at 221 miles down from a 228 mile rated range 90% charge. But it had completed charging 6 or 7 hours prior to that. It seemed...

I'm having one of those. Except my car is the computer which makes me really grumpy. About a week ago I noticed that album art on the instrument cluster is no longer showing up. It shows the generic square with a musical note in it and every 5 seconds it "refreshes" by disappearing and...

I didn't think this was going to be something I missed until I realized I have no idea where the nose of this car is. I don't need full sensors and I think the brunt of Tesla's retrofit price is in replacing and re-painting the front and rear bumper covers. I'd be totally set with just the two...
