We have been watching the Barrett-Jackson auction for the past several days and can't believe the sales prices - a 1971 Plymouth Hemi Cuda for $525,000!!!! Yes, a lot of these cars have been seriously modified but that Cuda couldn't have sold for much more than $5,000 brand new. And since then...

So I set my key Fob down, just for a minute, and then forgot about it. The photograph below shows what happened when our dog found his new "toy". Will he ever stop chewing on anything and everything he can fit his teeth around?!?!

Just read an article from Tesla about a new heat pump to improve mileage in the winter by capturing excess heat from the battery and use it to heat the cabin in winter. Is there a retrofit for cars built before this became standard equipment?

I'm sure this question has been asked and answered before but... When checking tire pressures I am aware that you should check them when cold, meaning before they are driven and after they have had a few hours to cool off after driving. But what about the difference between checking them on a...

Just read an article saying that the Cybertruck and the Semi will have 800 volt batteries. I have forgotten what the voltage is on our 2022 model S LR. Could someone please let me know what that figure is? Just curious for a comparison. Beasts

For a vehicle with staggered tires does it make any sense to do a side to side rotation? Would it make a significant difference to have the tires rotating in the opposite direction (most of the time)?

When it comes time to replace my 2021 S LR tires what would the positives and negatives to purchasing asymmetric tires be? While the car did not come with them they were mentioned in the owner's manual as being the tires which would be included. My purpose is not to complain but to find out the...

A couple of problems. 1) After heading down into a valley and then starting up again the car suddenly applies the brakes. It does the same thing at the top of a hill. I imagine that at the bottom it sees the rising road as an obstacle and at the top its' inability to see the road at all feels...

We are considering the purchase of one of these liners for our 21 S but need to find out whether their top surface will help to prevent items from sliding, in our case a large cooler and 50 pound bags of goose food in smooth paper bags for example. The carpet surface in the car provides little...

I have read about people being asked this question before but I never anticipated hearing it myself. Yesterday a neighbor asked why, as technically advanced as we are, we couldn't create a mechanism for electric vehicles to charge themselves as they were being driven using the momentum of the...

I am interested in getting KWh/mile figures from other refresh Model S LR owners. Our S is just a year old, has almost 8,000 miles on it and has gotten 288 KWh/mile over those 8,000 miles. Yesterday on a 57 mile trip we got 258 KWh/ mile. I thought it might be informative to compare our...

I should have said driveway, not garage. Imagine my surprise when I was returning returning home and just outside my garage door and suddenly there was a tractor trailer right next to me! It passed me and then positioned itself diagonally right in front of me. It was especially surprising since...

Has anyone seen the 2022.16.0.2 update yet or have any idea when it will be arriving? I'm kind of excited to see what sort of difference having the car use weather reports to estimate range will make.

We've had our S for about 7 months now. Only twice have we had to visit a Supercharger. The first time was free which was nice. Today we had to stop at a Supercharger due to the length of our trip (of course!) The price was 42 cents/kWh! Three and a half times what we pay to charge at home...

Could someone please tell me what path to follow to regain this option on my profile. This occurred once before but we happened to be at the SC at the time and I didn't see what he did and the owner's manual doesn't seem to cover this problem.

I tried to access our Tesla mobile app last evening and was surprised to find that tapping the icon led me to our Tesla account. I could not find any pathway to the Tesla mobile app. I checked the phone again this morning only to find that everything had returned to normal. Has anyone else had...

On the Tesla app under Controls there is an icon labeled "Start." When I click on it it starts a count down from 2 minutes but other than that I can't figure out what it does. I don't notice any changes inside the car. After the countdown is complete it says "Active" and after that the only way...

To start I have absolutely no problems with the cruise control, except for the lack of a resume function. Really, why would that not be included? But I digress. I should mention that our Tesla is a 2021 MS LR Whenever my wife drives she can not get cruise control to engage. I even tried pressing...

Took delivery of our 21 Model S LR on 9/26 and we still don't have a trunk cover. Are there others who are experiencing this kind of delay? The SC can offer no time frame for availability. Seems like a small thing to expect quickly.

Just wanted everyone to be aware that, on the screen directly in front of the driver, the cameras pick up and show all of the large plastic garbage containers along the roads in our little town. They miss, or ignore, the mailboxes, telephone poles and many of the speed limit signs but catch...

Just visited our S in the garage to check a few things and noticed the synopsis of our most recent charging session. On the right hand side of the screen in front of the driver one line was "Gained +41kW Hr." Hadn't noticed that before but I decided to take that number and multiply it by our...

Took a short trip this afternoon and plugged our 2021 S into the Tesla Wall Connector when er arrived home. We have always kept the maximum set at 84% and it has worked just fine. Today as soon as I plugged it in the message on the screen said the charge was at 72% and it was stopping the charge...

Jill and I went for our first long trip in our 2021 Model S LR yesterday. The trip covered 325 miles of roads with speed limits mostly between 55 and 70 mph. Close to half of that was on 70 mph highways. The car was set to Chill Mode and I have never been stopped for driving at the speeds we...

To anyone who has recently taken delivery of a 2021 Model S LR, did it come with a Plaid badge on the trunk lid? We picked up our LR on 9/26/21 and it does have the Plaid badge. The people at Tesla Vehicle Support have told me that all Model Ss now come with the Plaid badge but I have trouble...

Be careful when using your garage and gate opening feature. Foolish me but I never thought about the computer not knowing whether the gate or garage door was open or closed. Clearly I expect too much. Driving up to an open gate, because another vehicle had just passed through, the gate started...

In the Model S owner's manual it states that "Model S tires are asymmetric." The tires on our brand new 2021 S are not asymmetric and about all I am told by anyone at Tesla is that either they don't know or "the tires you have are the correct ones for your car" with no explanation for the...

Two questions. Has anyone seen torque figures for the 2021 Model S LR? If so could you let me know what they are. And on the TeslaTap.com website they indicate that the tires on the 21 S and, I believe, the Plaid, are "Advanced" - would anyone know what that means? Thanks, Beasts

We will soon, and finally, be taking delivery of our 2021 Model S LR and I have a concern about the last 5 miles of our drive home. We live out in the country and while our road is well paved we have to drop the passenger side wheels off of the pavement in order to allow oncoming traffic to...
