My 2013 P85 battery/DU warranty expires in August. I am still on my original pack that has had no issues, but I am reading stories of out of warranty pack replacements costing north of $20,000. I am trying to gauge how many original owners of cars of my vintage have had their packs replaced. My...

For the last few years, my 2013 P85 has been experiencing unusual vibrations on the freeway. I've taken it to service a few times under warranty and each time they tell me everything is normal with the suspension. I don't believe this is the case, I believe they are just unable to diagnose the...

Hi everyone! I searched the forum and couldn't find anything specifically regarding the new Michelin Primacy Tour. It seems to be the successor to the Primacy MXM4, which was the OEM tire on my 2013 P85. It's that time again and I need to get new tires. Michelin's own ratings for the Primacy...

Hello friends, My 2013 Model S proudly shows off three annoying bugs with v9: When set to manual control, HVAC fan speed resets to 1 after vehicle goes to sleep Dolby setting always reverts to OFF after going to sleep Navigation map in speedo display does a little "spin" at random times I am...

Musk recently tweeted that Model 3 tire pressures can be safely reduced from 45 PSI to 39 PSI for a more comfortable ride. Does the same apply to Model S? I'm wondering if lowering my tire pressure from 45 PSI to 39 PSI will soften the ride without inducing any strange tread wear. Thanks in...

I just saw this in the news, some in my local group have confirmed that they purchased CPO vehicles that have had significant body work that Tesla did not disclose prior to purchase. Is this something to be concerned about? A former employee says Tesla sells “lemons” in a new lawsuit

I just found this article from last year, sorry if this is old news... Apparently our favorite former VP of Sales & Service, Jerome Guillen, is heavily involved with the Tesla Semi team. He's apparently still at Tesla working his magic. Now that Jon McNeil bit the dust, I wish they would bring...

Seems my car has developed some unusual vibrations that I can feel in both the steering wheel and in the seat. The vibrations occur while aggressively accelerating between 50 and 70 MPH, and while cruising at 85 MPH. I started noticing the issue with my previous tires and it has persisted to my...

Hi everyone! Recently, almost everyone that I call tells me that they have trouble hearing me. I'm told there is a lot of background noise, like hiss or wind. I called myself and left a voicemail, it sounds terrible like my windows are open or something. There is no wind intrusion into the...

Hello everyone, Last week I received an email from Tesla advertising "showroom discounts" up to $30,000 off P100D models, which I posted here. TMC put an article on the front page based on my post, which got picked up by Elektrek in this article: Tesla offers ‘up to $30,000 showroom discounts’...

I just got this email from our local Tesla gallery: Hi [AmpedRealtor], I hope this email finds you well. I’m reaching out because we just announced an incentive on Model S and Model X P100D that I thought you may be interested in. We are offering showroom incentives up to $30,000 off the...

Hello everyone, I'm hoping someone here can help me out. I contacted service to ask about upgrading my 2013 P85 to the new style TPMS system that will give me individual tire pressure readouts on the speedo. Service said that they normally perform this upgrade when there are problems with the...

Mobileye's chairman is not mincing words in this latest article where he claims Autopilot is unsafe. He also says that it was Mobileye who dumped Tesla due to Tesla's "pushing the envelope of safety" with Mobileye technology. According to Mobileye, Autopilot is actually hurting the long term...

Hi everyone! I'm in Arizona (Phoenix area) and would love to buy a set of 21" silver turbines. So far the only ones I could find are the grey, but I want the silver. If anyone has a set for sale, or knows of anyone who does, I would love to buy! :)

I wanted to let everyone know that I was able to connect Tesla with The Copper City Inn in Bisbee, which now has a brand-new HPWC for its guests. This destination charger is NOT YET showing on Tesla's destination charging map and likely won't yet be in the NAV database. 99 Main St Bisbee...

I wanted to take a moment and provide an update to my ownership experience after two years and 35,000 miles. Actually two years and 3 months, to be exact. I ordered my "classic" P85 in June of 2013 and received it two months later in August. At the time, Tesla's Arizona service center was being...

Hi everyone, My factory stock Michelin Primacy tires will need to be replaced in the next 5,000-10,000 miles and I was wondering if I could get feedback and opinions from forum members on good tires. I've searched this forum and have also done a lot of research online, and I thought I should...

Someone just posted over at TM Forums that they were informed of a new policy by their local service center. Per that person's service center, annual service is still $600 but alignments are an additional $149. Alignments are no longer included. I am posting here to see if anyone else can...

One of our local owners here in Arizona is embarking upon a special project. His name is Steve Sasman. You may remember him from the media attention back in January when he advertised his "Tesla Hotel" on AirBnB. His story was picked up by CNN and it spread like wildfire. He also wrote a book...

According to this Consumer Reports video episode posted on March 24th, older Model S cars (pre-Autopilot) will NOT be compatible with version 7 software release. This is the upcoming release that Elon said will contain a full UI redesign along with other features. If this is true, and it would...

Hi everyone! I just noticed a strange increase in range that I had never seen before. I was wondering if anyone else experienced this or might be able to replicate? I live in Arizona, so it's in the 80s right now. My garage was in the mid-70s each time this happened. A few days ago, I charged...

I was thinking about this while reading about camp and RV sites that have multiple NEMA 14-50 outlets. I don't know anything about how electricity works, so perhaps it's a silly question to begin with. But couldn't someone build a magic box with two NEMA 14-50 connectors/cables on one side and a...

Tesla never promised that the Model S could turn itself into a hot-spot to share its 3G connection. That is an absolutely silly feature that would cost Tesla a lot of money due to increased 3G bandwidth and which would offer users no useful benefit, but lots of frustration. 3G connections are...
