    Warranty expiring - List of typical failures

    Parking brake would get stuck on and throw a bunch of errors about a parking brake fault and it would take a ton of resets and fiddling with park to get it to disengage (one time, I even had to disconnect the positive terminal from the battery. Also, pressing the P on the stalk rapidly in quick...

    BEWARE! Model S died at 20% charge

    Exact same thing happened to me twice. 2013 Tesla P85. Tesla replaced the HV battery under warranty and gave me a loaner battery (which I still have after a year) and didn't charge me a dime. Currently have 151,000 miles and still love the car after 5 years.

    Tesla door handle failure - pivot gear (anyone have one I can buy?)

    I'm waiting to hear back from Tesla Service/Parts on whether they carry just that pivot gear. I reached out to a Tesla Ranger and he said the broken pivot gear requires changing the entire assembly. I'm hoping maybe that has changed and Tesla decided to offer just the gear as a replacement part...

    Tesla door handle failure - pivot gear (anyone have one I can buy?)

    While closing the driver's door, I heard a weird clanging noise which caused my heart to sink and my wallet to feel slightly lighter. I turned around to investigate and immediately noticed the door handle was flush with the body while the other door handles were still extended. I went home to...

    Extended warranty denied because I did not do the scheduled inspections

    I had an in depth conversation with a Tesla Ranger a couple months ago about recommended maintenance (from his perspective). Here's what he recommended: Cabin air filter replacement every 12,500 miles Replace brake fluid every 25,000 miles Service the air conditioning every 25,000 miles/2 years...

    National network of approved installers for after-market Model S mods

    An approved installers list would be an awesome idea! I worked as an installer all through high school and college and learned how shady the business could be. After watching coworkers do shoddy install jobs on everything from remote starts to high end stereo systems, I decided I would always do...
