All, I had a 2013 P85 that was totaled many months ago. Since then, my High Power Wall Connector has remained mounted and ready to go, but with nothing to charge. I have no notion to replace the car at this time, so I'm going to sell some of the accessories and things I no longer need...

It appears as if I've struck a deal with wk057. I'm anxious to hear what comes of the car and its parts....

I strongly considered rebuilding it. I paid for the 100k mile warranty and it has over 14k miles left on it, but I bet Tesla wouldn't honor that warranty if it has a salvage title. I also wonder if they'd honor the 8 year unlimited mile powertrain/battery warranty on the salvage title. Finally...

If someone rebuilds this car I'd be absolutely interested in buying it back. I had planned to keep this car forever and ever. The cars we're driving right now between the three drivers in our house are our 91 Volvo (bought in 1995 and presently over 250k miles), our '04 Sienna (bought new and...

The car is rebuildable I think but I would not necessarily advise that. See pictures below. My insurance company has done their appraisal and said that the estimate for repairs is $39k so they are totaling the car. This is the initial estimate and of course there is a high likelihood of...

If you end up needing to separate these, I'm interested in one wheel only. Thanks!

Xenoilphobe, Please describe what you've seen as far as improved performance with the LTE upgrade. The speed issues with our car internet are not as big of a deal as compared to whether we get signal or not. Generally the biggest issue is completely losing the Slacker/Tune-In streaming or map...

On our XC drive, stopped in Denver and two of the spots were ICE'ed. Either that, or this SUV in a Tesla only spot is the new Model X. I'm from the east coast and have never seen a SC spot ICE'ed before, is this common in other areas of the country?

We are on vacation this week in Utah. We will be leaving Bryce Canyon from Ruby's Inn and heading via the scenic route 12 towards the Green River SC (before heading to Moab). The route is about 216 miles. Does anyone have experience driving this route and suggest I rely on an interim charging...

I'll try harder next time...;-)

I don't know why it went down but it was a bang sound from their equipment and all of them shut down immediately. Two hours later Tesla had a local flatbed there to tow us to the next charger in Shamrock, Texas.

i plugged in here this morning at 220am and the who,e station shut down. it was a long night...

I just did the trip between Effingham and Kansas City due to an unexpected funeral (we live in Virginia). Liz and Dave were lifesavers and we appreciate their assistance so much. I do wish the timing had been a little different, but it was fun to meet fellow Tesla folk who are willing to help...

We just got back from a road trip for spring break from Virginia to Cape Cod, all uneventful. That said, yesterday we learned of a death in the family and will load the family back in the car tomorrow morning to drive to Kansas City, KS for a viewing Friday. If this SC happens to open up...

Google Maps shows pretty clearly a fence around the service area. That said, the next exit is RIGHT up the road, and in fact mid-way between the service area and the interchange appears to be an open area that isn't fenced and goes to a parking area. Might be just a matter of a 100 yard walk all...

We are leaving from Virginia tomorrow to head up to New England, and our overnight stop tomorrow will be in New Haven. Seeing that the Milford SC is just west of New Haven, my thought was to stay in the area of West Haven or Milford this evening, then on Friday morning before shipping out...

Thanks for the replies! Indian plus the lounge sounds great!

Just curious, I may be needing to do a close to range charge (from 0) here.....coming from Santee and heading next to Greenville, so I'll need about 220 miles. What is there to do in the vicinity of this SC? A mall to drop the family off at, perhaps? We'll have to do a massive range charge to...

Prior to update, my "daily" charge would get our P85 to about 224-226 miles, this morning it was at 239 after installing the update.

Did you pay for this upgrade, or were the better mats installed as a courtesy?

EarlyAdopter, Thanks for the reply. :-) Let me just say that the car was purchased as a demo, and as a result of damage during delivery it was repaired at a Tesla selected body shop and then detailed. I recommend the two bucket method as well, and if you are purchasing a car new, request that...

Our car was recently detailed at SpeedFreak detailing in northern Virginia. He had another customer come and shoot some professional video of the car and I thought it might be interesting to share: http://vimeo.com/m/93616350 -Matt P07694

I had no problems with the SC either and enjoyed a good dinner of baked chicken on the way back home. I also can't confirm that's exactly what happened -- it's just what the officer said.

I just used this SC twice last week on our trip from Virginia to Florida and back. On the way down, an officer came by to chat about the car, that he'd been out catching people going 100+ today on I-95, etc. He also mentioned that recently an owner could not disconnect his car from this SC and...

Has anyone been today? Good turnout? We might head up from Fredericksburg in a while and couple it with a short hike with the family at nearby Prince William Forest Park.

We have seven cars and none of them have the product available! Of course part of that is that only three of my cars are newer than 1991 and their site goes back to only 2000... I did put in a request for "Make My Model" for the Model S, though.

Interesting. Everyone has their own tastes, but I am really enamored when the design/style and the utility of a component really marry up perfectly. For example, on so many of the Pininfarina styled Ferraris, the beautiful bodywork always has some sort of function, such as aerodynamics or air...

Another option is to use Costco. I've found, particularly when Costco is running one of the promotions, that the overall price at Costco is cheaper than I used to get when I would buy tires from Tire Rack and have them installed at a shop. The Costco shops do only one thing -- tires. I have a...

Our P85 (red) is in the shop presently getting a multistage paint correction, film, and two coats of Modesta. If I had more $$, I would either have it stripped to bare metal and properly painted again (with factory red), or at least wet-sanded to remove all the orange peel and then...

I recently brought our car in for some issues and since I had 10k miles on the tires I asked them to rotate/balance. The Rockville SC charged $105 for the rotate/balance. They also did a ton of service bulletin updates for free, installed new batteries in our keyfobs, etc.

I'm not sure if it will help, but eventually you'll probably get a new wiper carrier assembly, as there is a factory update. My car had the issue on any icy day when the wipers just quit working because they stripped somewhere in that mechanism, and the whole assembly was replaced with the...

Thanks, it is certainly cheaper to leave the weights on and not have to rebalance again right now, but next time I rebalance then if the weights have to move we'll have some untreated spots and then new weights will go on the areas that have been treated and have a little less adhesion. My...

I am having our MS P85 detailed, and as part of it we are having Modesta (probably BC-05) applied to the wheels. The question is whether to remove all the wheel weights prior to prime/coating. It seems to me that it is a good idea, however the question is whether the adhesive will then stick to...

I have always used Leatherique products on the Ferraris, Rolls, and Bentley. I'll continue to do the same for the Tesla, but not sure about the microfiber....

I should have been more explicit... I am in Fredericksburg, Virginia, midway between Washington and Richmond.

@Jason S, in fact it has taken more than 2 weeks to get the car from the showroom floor delivered! But I saved several thousand dollars....

I've done some searching on this forum but haven't found much discussion on orange peel. We will be taking delivery of our P85 with red this week (hopefully) -- it was a demo model, and perhaps some of you may have seen it on the White Plains, NY showroom floor. Being in the showroom, it was...

Skyline Drive will be our first day trip when we get our car (hopefully this week).

My house has 150A service and I'm getting a brand new additional 100A that will be allowed to be used ONLY for the EV. Hopefully with the dedicated separate service, we'll easily be able to exploit every bit of that HPWC's capability. My next step is to do some looking through the...

Thanks for the comments and feedback. We didn't drive it home, as they are changing wheels to 19, removing rear facing seats, and adding twin chargers. They're also waiting on $$ from me which they'll get when I get home from vacation. They're also detailing and registering it before delivering...

Guys, I don't know what the story is on 1244. They would not let us see it -- the roof is being replaced and they said it is completely off right now and they wouldn't let us see it in that state. We were supposed to go see it and a couple others at the service center, and to avoid our visiting...

We plan to drive up and see this car tomorrow evening. Thanks for all the tips. For a purchase this large, a 5 hour drive to check it out is a no-brainer. :-)

Hello all, I've just joined this forum as I am about to become an owner, although I have posted a few things previously on the Telsa official forums. I just posted the following over there and bet I will get at least as much good advice from you all. See below: I have a silver performance 2012...
