My Gen1 80A HPWC started acting up a few weeks ago and I cannot figure out what is going on. A few weeks ago I started getting a "Charging Stopped" message and the car would not start charging. I can hear the switch click in the HPWC like it wants to connect. Sometimes I could pull the charger...

After many years of searching with no luck I happened upon a CD player that actually works in my Model S via USB! It's Automotive Integrated Electronics UBSCDPLAY1 and it's available on Amazon for around $200. Just plug it in and insert a CD--it's that simple. The car recognizes all the tracks...

I have a 2013 Model S and the touchscreen is causing me all sorts of problems. It's been in and out of service 3 times in recent months for the touchscreen and the last time they replaced the daughter board. Everything was ok after the daughter board replacement but now the screen is starting to...

I just purchased Vredestein Quatrac Pro XL tires for my Model P85 Model S. So far they are the best handling tires I've put on the car. However, I've read that these should be inflated over 45psi (to around 50psi) due to the weight of the car. These tires have a max inflation of 51psi. I put...

I have a 2013 Model S P85 and the HV battery went out completely. The good news is that it was still under warranty and the service center installed a new one. The new battery is even a 400V replacement (I'm not 100% but I think my old battery was 350V). The bad news is that after getting the...

Does anyone have any idea what is going on at the Rockville Service Center? Pardon the pun but they seem to be on 'autopilot' with no oversight or manager present. I just had to bring in my 2013 Model S to have the sunroof replaced due to the glass cracking. The replacement took about a week...

I live in DC and wanted to be prepared for winter so I took advantage of the TireRack.com $60 off rebate and bought a set of Pirelli Sottozero snow tires. I am on my second Tesla Model S and have been babying my P85 since I picked it up over the summer so I'm VERY aware of every nick, ding...

I'm in the process of trading in my 2013 Model S and was bummed that I was going to lose my 1.49% rate that I had since August 2013 so I started shopping around. Lo and behold...there is a local Maryland credit union (First Financial Federal Credit Union) out of the Baltimore area that has a...

I have close to 30k miles on my P85 and finally need new tires within a month. I've done a lot of research and am surprised that no one has mentioned Pirelli Cinturato P7s. They are 700AA rated and have a 70k mile warranty! The reviews on TireRack are insanely good with people stating that these...

I don't know if this is being covered somewhere in another post or not but I would like to know if there are any KNOWN issues/updates that should be SPECIFICALLY asked for during an annual inspection. Here's why I ask...Tesla recently called me and said I needed to bring in my car for an AC...

Just accelerated from a stop and heard a loud bang (it sounded like someone had hit me) then my Model S died. I am sitting at a gas station (how ironic) waiting for Tesla service to come get me. The car will not go into gear at all and the motor is making a high pitched whine. Anyone else been...

I am going on vacation for a week and was debating whether or not to leave the car charger in the port for a week. As it is, I have the car set to charge after midnight (to save a few pennies on electric). I don't think it makes any difference since the car should just top off the charge every...

I purchased a demo/loaner car (VIN 01205) which apparently was used at one or more "Get Amped" events. I have no idea what went on at these events but would like to know since my car battery just suddenly died the other day and I suspect that it might have something to do with how the car was...

I'm sure I must hold the record for the longest time Tesla's had a car in for service. All told, my car has been in for service for over 2 months. I dropped off my car in July and the service department had the car for 11 days. I brought it back on August 1st and as of today (September 12th) I...

I am a real estate agent and use a Multiple Listing Service website to access home data from my Tesla. Everything was working fine until 3-4 weeks ago. Now it won't allow me to log into the secure MLS site. The MLS website has a 2 hour "timeout" feature and I suspect that I visited the site and...

I recently purchased a loaner P85 from Tesla inventory that was originally equipped with 3rd row seats. I have the snap in capability for seats but alas...no seats. Is there anyone out there that got 3rd row seats as an option but is willing to sell them? I'm in Silver Spring, Maryland and...
