    Two broke down Tesla cars simultaneously-I feel like a fool for buying 2 Teslas

    Back in 2013 I purchased a P85+ Model S after being blown away on the test drive. I followed up by getting a Model X 90 in 2016 because although I had experienced some issues with the S Tesla was by far the best service experience I had ever had. It was shortly after the purchase of the X that...

    Put a value on this obsolete model x.....

    What would be a good, and what would be a GREAT (realistically) price on this model X? 90D, standard white (obsolete!) with white interior, 6 Seater, AP1.0 (obsolete!) and 2000 miles?

    An open letter to those people who like to post open letters to Elon or Tesla

    It seems to me that every time a major change is announced that a few people decide to write an open letter and post it on the forums basically venting how they have been wronged and what a horrible thing has been done to them as a result of some improvement or change the Tesla has made ...

    Questions on resale value of certain options

    Looking for opinions so all viewpoints welcome. I have a Model S and have had it over 3 years now. Love the car. I have been trying to convince the wife to try a Model X (she likes a little higher seating position and the option to carry more than 5 people from time to time). Currently she is in...

    Standard white and titanium dropped?

    Possibly this is just a temporary fluke on the Tesla site but I was looking tonight and noticed that the standard white and titanium colors are no longer being offered on either the model S or the model X. Anyone else seeing the same thing?

    Frunk not secure?

    Possibly I'm mistaken but from watching the video related to firefighter extraction techniques it appears that anyone with knowledge of where the release strap is can simply open the trunk on the model x. Is that correct?

    Wood/CF on console vs early cars

    I have seen that on the Newer x's that they are now putting a matching piece of either wood or carbon fiber trim on the door of the center console.

    So what does the Model S have that the X does not?

    As a model S owner who has been giving some serious consideration to an X, my question is what features are "missing" or what is inferior on the X to the Model S. I am thinking of both factual (for example opening panoramic roof), questionable issues that might improve (for example slower UI on...

    Ultra White PUP- dash and door panel material

    I think I already know the answer to this question but I know that on the seats the ultra white color is synthetic and not leather.

    Can anyone grab a measurement for me? Trying to install my rear lighted T

    My service center had to replace the rear T on my car when it was in for service this week and since I already had the lighted T coming in I asked him just to leave it in the center console and I would install it myself.

    Odd steering feel when making a U-turn, especially if suspension is raised

    I have to make a sort of very tight U-turn everyday when leaving the office as the slanted driveway faces towards the opposite direction. I have the suspension on very high to avoid scraping. When I make this u-turn it feels like a weird bump is happening almost like the tire is rolling off of...

    Aiken SC charging options on Turkey Day?

    Where to charge on Thanksgiving in Aiken, SC? Going to visit family and want to show them the Tesla, but its about a 230 mile round trip and given the weight of 5 people and cargo it seems like that would be cutting it too close for comfort, especially if it cools down and heat is needed.
