Hi, all, I have a 10 kW Sunpower solar system with two Powerwall 2 batteries, located in TX. I just got the Span panel x 2 installed, and too early to draw conclusions, but there seems to be some issues that I have noticed, thus far. One such issue seems to be now that my Tesla app sometimes...

Hi everyone, Just got rear-ended on the highway earlier today when avoiding a Prius that lost control in front of me, and was wondering what your best guess would be on repair costs for the damage seen in the photo below for my Tesla. I will let you all know what the cost turns out to be once...

I heard the same thing about poor adherence to ceramic coating. I was told that the ceramic coating could only be removed by polishing.

I also like the idea of a subscription service for Enhanced Autopilot - I would probably pay $100/mo for it, too.

Tesla-installed, factory front plate holder. Please ignore the faulty headlight - waiting on Tesla to fix it.

Hi, everyone, In August 2018, I sold my RWD Model 3 to upgrade to the AWD version. The RWD Model 3 had the phantom touch screen issue, requiring replacement of the screen, and the AWD Model 3 that I just picked up has a headlight issue, as follows: I picked up the AWD Model 3 (VIN 100,XXX) on...

Interesting, I have a silver Model 3 LR, 6,600 miles, and everything except EA and FSD, and today, 8-3-18, Vroom offered me $47K, but givemethevin.com offered only $46.5K and said that they couldn't match or beat Vroom’s offer. I’m going with Vroom.

Hi, everyone, I have a 2018 Tesla Model 3 LR, and I am going to upgrade to the Performance version. Manufacture date 2/2018 Silver 6,500 miles All options except Enhanced Autopilot and FSD. I received an offer from Vroom for $47,000, and am waiting for givemethevin.com for a quote. I spoke...

Randy1077, that is exactly what the phantom touches look like on my screen, too, with the Sketchpad open. I'm still waiting for a firmware update to hopefully fix this issue, as I am still having to reset the touchscreen while driving when it happens, occurring maybe 1 or 2 days per week, on...

Hi, all of the above is still occurring on my car, despite being on firmware 2018.4.9 700fb88. I will let you all know how Tesla solves this, I plan on contacting them next week.

Yes, unfortunately! I am on 2018.4.9 700fb88. I am waiting now for Tesla to guide me to the next step - wait for yet another firmware update, or replace the screen/hardware. When driving, I still get the volume changing on its own and random phantom inputs on the screen. Once, when this was...

Unfortunately I spoke too soon - I am still having phantom input issues, despite removing the clear film from the screen! Tesla Tech Support states that an upcoming firmware update should take care of this issue. If not, they tell me that the MCU/computer screen will have to be replaced!

Another OP Update: Hi, y'all, I apologize, but I think I spoke too soon - I am still having issues with phantom inputs and volume changing on its own, despite removing the clear film from the screen! I spoke with Tesla Tech Support again, and they told me to expect at firmware update soon to...

I had the same issue as the OP - turns out that at delivery, the film over the screen was not removed, and that appeared to be the cause of the phantom inputs and volume changes! Remove the clear film from the touchscreen, and it should fix the issue of phantom inputs!

Update: Hi all, Turns out that the issue was actually a simple oversight! The clear film over the screen was not removed at delivery, and that seems to have been the cause of the screen inputs and random sound volume changes! Don’t forget to peel the film off the screen at delivery!

Hi, everyone, Just picked up Model 3 yesterday. Today, on my commute, the music volume would go all the way up or down, on its own. I tried to reset, mess around with the left scroll wheel, adjust steering column, etc. No luck. Tech support says that an upcoming firmware update should fix it...

I recently had the same issue as OP ckwong. The fix for me was as follows: 1. Perform reset (using scroll wheels). 2. Manually open driver door fully. Step out. 3. From outside of the car, slowly close the door (over a 20 sec duration). 4. Using FOB, lock the car, then unlock, then lock, then...

I previously owned a Model S (2013 P85+), and currently own a 2017 Model X 90D. My opinion --> X > S.

I agree, I find TACC to be untrustworthy, unfortunately. I have experienced sudden deceleration to 45 mph while driving 65 mph on a local tollway while using Autopilot. The screen says something like "Autosteer restricted to 45mph" or something like that, every time, at a specific part of the...

Hi, there, It appears that for new installs, a separate inverter is indeed required, as per a local installer TreeHouse in Austin. Here is a direct quote from them per an email inquiry that I sent them recently: Yes, Powerwall V2 is $5,500! This is the cost of the battery only and does not...

Just had the HPWC installed this morning (in anticipation of Model X later this year, likely end of 2016). Cost = $500.

Another satisfied customer! Today, Cheikh Gakou from Chams Electric came by to install a HPWC for me (in anticipation of purchasing a Model X later this year). Cheikh was punctual for the appointment, courteous, and the install took one hour. $500 was the cost. This is actually my second time...

Maybe it varies by region, but I recently got a $71K offer from Carmax for my one year and one month old Tesla P85+ with 10K miles ($115K purchase price). It was less than the $77K offered by Tesla, and it was less than the low-mid 80's offered as a trade in credit by BMW.

Hi, It was for a trade consideration. BTW I will get back to you on what Mercedes and Audi offer. I was tempted to go with the all-new 2015 Mercedes S class coupe or Audi R8!

P85+ purchased at $115K (pre tax credit) in September 2013 (1 year and 1 month ago) BMW offered low-mid 80's trade-in (can't remember the exact number) Tesla offered $77K Today, my local Carmax in Houston, TX, offered me: drumroll please ---- $71K:confused: They explained to me that the...

Hey, again, guys, The following is an excerpt from my Tesla service center invoice: ---------- "Replaced high voltage battery due to internal failure." ---------- Now that I have my main battery pack replaced, what assurance do I have that it will not happen again? In other words, what, if...

I just got a call from Tesla, and they did explain to me that it was a main battery pack issue rather than the 12V battery. They are going to replace the main battery pack (unfortunately with a refurbished one rather than a new one). Did you have the main pack replaced in your instance(s)? Do...

Agreed, as well as the low profile tires on the 21" wheels, which are very susceptible to sidewall damage. This morning as I was getting ready to leave for work, I hopped in the car and my Tesla, 13 months old (VIN P17833), notified me on the driver screen that the 12V battery power was low...

2013 Tesla Model S P85+ Green/Black Purchased September 2013 (13 months old as of Oct 2014) $114,500 (before federal tax credit) Currently at 10K miles No accidents/no paintwork Tesla offer: $77K

Hi, I used Nationwide Auto transport (Nationwide Auto Transport | Vehicle Transport Service | Quality Car Transporter) to take my 2015 BMW M4 convertible from TX to GA, in an enclosed carrier, and had no problems. I would not hesitate to hire them again.

Brand New, In Package, Rial Lugano Gunmetal set (4 wheels) w/ Michelin Primacy MXM4 and TPS! Hi, Up for sale is a brand-new, never taken out of package, set of four Rial Lugano Gunmetal Grey wheels with OEM Michelin Primacy MXM4 tires already mounted and balanced, with the Tire Pressure...

2013 Tesla Model S P85+ Green/Black, Loaded, 8,600 miles, no paint/accident history, plus extras! Hi, thanks for checking out this ad. I am considering selling my Tesla Model S, so please see the details below. I can update this ad with more pics later when I'm back in town. Price is firm...

Hey, guys, I am a little bit like TexEx in that I like to change cars more frequently than recommended! Ha!:biggrin: I also, like TexEx, plan to jump into a Tesla again in the future (once more tech and safety options are available) - for example, I have had 3 Acura NSX's over the last 12 years...

Greetings, guys, Today I went to my local BMW here in Houston, as I was simply interested in what my 2013 P85+ would trade in for. My car cost $114,520. It has 8,500 miles. 10 months old. Perfect condition. Guess how much they offered me? In the mid $80's. Just wanted to share that with you...

My car does this as well - I unplug the UMC from the car and walk to the other side of the car to place the UMC on its wall hanger, and then by the time I walk towards the driver door to get in, the charge port occasionally pops open spontaneously! I might mention it to the Service Center next...

No kidding? That's great news if it is indeed the case. It was closer to $800 for me at my local Tesla service center (Houston) about 6 months ago.

I agree with this post. I certainly don't want the brake lights to come on after passing someone on the highway and returning to the right lane. I'm used to briefly coasting upon return (with my foot over the brake pedal just in case, especially if there is a car somewhat close in front of me)...

I am also very interested in learning more about these wheels. I recently purchased the gunmetal Rial Luganos with TPMS sensors and Michelin Primacy MXM4 tires from TireRack and haven't put them on the car yet. I am debating now on purchasing these new TST wheels (once more information and...

I filed my taxes thru TurboTax online as well, and today I received my refund in full (the whole $7,500 EV credit included). I didn't complete the AMT form. I admit I was concerned after reading this thread, but fortunately there was no issue!

There are, however, Tesla charging stations at the Houston Galleria (mall) and likely at the service center (although I'm not sure if they are accessible there). The spots at the mall, I find, are oftentimes occupied, even on a random weekday. Good luck

Very happy to hear about the new rotors to fix the brake squeal, I will be contacting the Houston SC very soon!

I also didnt have a good experience with Alliant (cant remember who I worked with, will look it up), so I went with Amplify credit union and was extremely impressed, the process was very smooth with Amplify.

U are probably correct. They were not exactly identical to the 21s, but very close in appearance. Maybe this is what the OP was referring to?

I also remember the 19 inch Turbine-style wheels being online briefly, and as of last month, I was surprised that they were actually still on display at the Houston TX Galleria store. They were silver, not gunmetal. You should try calling them.

I live in Pothole City aka Houston, and I regret getting the 21" wheels (I suppose I had to since I got the + version), as I have had 2 flat tire incidents in the first 2 months of ownership after two (relatively) minor sidewall tire scrapes (one on curb, one on pothole). I am awaiting...

Hi, there, I received my Tesla Model S in Sep 2013, and thus far, one of my only complaints is this squeaky brake issue, which occurs when almost at a stop. Early in my ownership, I mentioned this to the local service center (Houston, TX) and I was told that it was normal for this type of...

This is my understanding as well. I was told that the P85+ cannot be changed to 19" wheels, unfortunately. It is almost laughable how easily the tires were damaged, based on the two incidents that I have had thus far!

Another flat tire Hi, everyone, Last night I got another flat tire after driving over a relatively shallow pothole here on the streets of Houston, TX (near Chinatown/Bellaire). I was going maybe 30 miles/hr, and when I drove over the small pothole, it didn't seem like any significant issue...

BTW it is interesting that the Tesla service center never mentioned this to me......:confused: - - - Updated - - - Just called Discount Tire on Southwest Freeway in Houston, TX. Warranty for the 21 Michelins is $365.
