I recently spoke with a Tesla Rep. regarding a delivery of a MS LR next week. Wanted to make sure I got a charging cable and an adapter. He looked up my account and said I would get a charging cable and adapter included with the vehicle because I ordered before April 30,2021, which apparently...

According to a Tesla SR, Tesla does not actually take trades into it's inventory. They have a network of used car dealers and they get offers from interested dealers who bid for your trade. They pass the best offer to you. I am trading a 2018 Honda Clarity for an S Refresh which has been on...

According to Elektrik Magazine the horizontal display in the Model S Refresh requires extensive software rewrite which is taking much longer than Tesla anticipated. According to the Magazine there were no S Refresh deliveries during Q1. Tesla has had problems with the S display in the past and...

Has anyone seen or driven a Model S Refresh with the on screen transmission selector? The automotive press is questioning the legality of this change and the reviews are not good. Motor Trend calls it a "bad idea". Has anyone seen how it works?
