Well the wife murdered one of her 20” induction rims on her less than one month old Y on a curb tonight. There is also a tear in the sidewall of the tire so it most likely should be replaced as well. She didn’t just rub the rim of the wheel but she actually scraped up two of the spokes pretty...

Looks like I am one of the luck ones.....:oops:. We just picked up the wife’s brand new Model Y on Wednesday and today (Friday) she experienced the heat system not working. She had a 45 minute drive home with my two kids (6 and 10) in 5 degree F weather with the vents blowing ice cold air. Not...

I have a question about charging two Teslas at once. I currently have a Model 3 and the wife will be getting a Model Y tomorrow. My current electrical setup is a 200 amp service to the house with a 100 amp sub-panel in the garage. I currently have a Tesla HPWC on a 60 amp circuit charging the...

In my excitement of finally pulling the trigger on a Model Y I forgot to use my referral code! Anyone have any luck getting Tesla to retroactively apply the referral? The order is linked to my account but it didn’t show up as a referral. :(

Washed my car today and found this little gem. Last year I had a minor accident that involved replacement and repainting of the front fascia. I had the work done at an official Tesla Body Shop. Less than a year later the clear coat is peeling. Not happy at all. Anyone else have this issue...

I was driving in cold weather today and noticed something interesting with supercharger preconditioning. When precondition turned on, it actually increased my projected range. In the picture you can see the clear jump in the energy graph. It was about 12F outside temperature. The snowflake...

I had a colleague reach out to see if I was able to participate in the Inaugural Quad City EV Week car show on September 15th since I have a Model 3. Unfortunately, I am unable to attend as I will be at RIOT-fest in Chicago that weekend. Below is a link to register if interested in...

Well it happen. I was in a relatively minor accident today. Definitely could had been worse than it ended up. I hydroplaned on the interstate during a blinding down pour. The car completely spun around went into the grass median and came to rest on a vehicle arresting fence running adjacent to...

I don't have a service center close to me so taking it to Tesla isn't really an option. I noticed the other day that the toe alignment of the front tires is completely off as the inside of my tires are practically bald while remaining part of the tire is still in good condition. So I went to a...

I have about 25,000 miles on my Model 3 and have been keeping an eye on treadwear and all was looking good. However lately I started noticing an increasing amount of wheel noise so I decided to take a closer look. I have found that the front two tires are nearly bold on the inside of the car...

Maybe, I am behind the times but I was not aware that the forward facing camera was heated. Pretty cool!

Anyone with no WiFi get V9 update? I currently do not have access to WiFi at home or work where I park. Wondering if anyone got the update through the cellular connection yet.

When I purchased my Model 3, I decided to finance through Tesla primarily due to simplicity. When I picked up the car I signed loan papers with financing though U.S. Bank NA. My delivery specialist asked if I wanted copies of the forms to which I replied "yes". She said she would...

So I was all set to pick up my M3D yesterday. First I got a call in the morning that the car failed a technical inspection and a part may need to be ordered so my delivery was cancelled for the day. Which was extremely disappointing. Upon asking for clarification, I was told they updated...

I just got a voicemail that my schedule delivery at 4 pm today has been delayed due to my car failing their technical inpection. I was told that they may have to order parts. I have a call into the service center for more information. Anyone else get this phone call? What was wrong if so...

Let me be clear I have no information whether a Model 3 will have a frunk or not but I have been giving it some thought lately. Since the Model 3 will have a shorter wheelbase than a Model S or Model X and will presumably come with the "D" that sure doesn't leave much room for any useable frunk...

Not really sure on the source as the article references an announcement but apparently Gigafactory #2 might be in South Africa. Elon Musk And Tesla To Build For Powerwall Batteries In Cape Town, South Africa

So much for the dealerships being the great protector of the people from the big bad automobile manufacturers. Who can we turn to now! :) Dodge warns that its own dealers are scamming customers - Mar. 3, 2015

Didn't see this posted anywhere. Tesla Gear Shop Premium Rear Console

Anyone else thinking that with the installation of the new Model S/X assembly line that some new goodies may be introduced?

I know there have been some previous post on this topic but they did not answer all of the questions I had so here we are. Anyway, I am slowing whittling down the option I feel are a most have, nice to have and I really don't care about. Leather seats full under the option that I really don't...

As Most people here I am pretty evangelical about Tesla and the Model S. I have been crowing for years about the car and the company and how it is the future. I will talk obsessively to anyone who mentions the word Tesla. Well apparently it all finally sunk in with my little brother, as to my...

So I was on my way home from work last Friday and as I pulled into town I spotted this curious site Sorry for the bad phone picture :wink: but I think you get the idea. It was a Mid-2000 Ford Focus fully engulfed in flames. Everyone escaped unharmed. The photo is at an exit of one of the...

I did some searching but could not find exactly what I was looking for. Is the ride height of a the standard suspension higher than the "standard" setting of a MS with air suspension? I have heard that the standard suspesion ride height is comparable to the high setting on the air suspension...

I visted the Oakbrook Chicago store over the weekend mainly to checkout color options and new rim options. The cyclones look great in person. I was never really that excited about the standard 19" rims but 21" rims in the Midwest is not really a good option (winter, potholes, excessive tire...

Since tesla has backed off on requiring the service plan to maintain the vehicle warranty, I am still trying to decide if it makes sense to purchase it. The issue is I will be putting 32,000 plus miles on the car in a year which if I buy the service plan will last me all of 1.5 years (@12,500...

I am trying to narrow down my color choice for a potentional Model S purchase and would really like to see them in person. I have it narrowed down to blue, gray or red. Does anyone know what current colored cars are at the Chicago stores. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hey everybody, longtime lurker first time poster. As with most of you I have been obsessing for years over the Model S. I have never bought a car for anything close to what the Model S cost. I am somewhat able to justify purchasing the vehicle because I drive 110 miles around trip to work 5...
