    Tire snow chain via amazon

    I'm looking for tire chains that I can get with one day shipping. I had no luck on Amazon after spending more than an hour reading tire chain specs looking for my 255/45 R19 tires. Has anyone bought their chains (or snow socks, if I must) on Amazon - if so, which ones? I found snow socks for...

    Finding the exact charger location

    I'm planning a road trip and have rarely used a supercharger. When I have it's sometimes been time consuming and frustrating finding the exact location of the chargers. In Palm Springs I drove around a parking garage for a while before I found them. This would not be fun on a cross-country...

    high frequency sound?

    I've been stumped as to why my dog screams - and I mean loud screaming like she's being tortured - while riding in my MY. This is not something she did with our ICE vehicle nor the 2014 Model S. It occurred to me that there might be high frequency (outside human ability to hear) sound that is...

    TPMS options

    I'm planning to sell my 2014 MS and have ignored the TPMS warning for years - I know how to check my tire pressure and add air. How did we ever live without these nuisance devices?? I got a quote from my nearest SC for $640 to replace them so I'm in sticker shock. I've read threads about...

    Removing "T" emblems

    I'm hoping to remove the Tesla emblems from my 2023 MY front and rear. Are these attached with adhesive or riveted? Any suggestions on how best to remove them?

    Yet more Autosteer questions

    I have some rather mundane questions about Autosteer. I've read forum threads, watched youtube, RTFM - and maybe I'm simply missing what I need to know. Background is that I have been nervous about using AS after my many "uncomfortable" incidents with TACC. The phantom and crazy braking...

    New Hampshire to San Diego (2023 Model Y LR)

    I'm just beginning to plan my umpteenth drive across the US; it's all about the dog (now #3). This will be a first via electric car. I'm considering taking as many off-freeway routes as possible using ideas from Road Trip USA. What little planning I've tried via charging route maps is...

    Removing frunk tub permanently - mice inspections

    I would like to remove the frunk tub permanently so I can easily and daily inspect for mice nests. Mice damaged my 2 previous ICE cars, my motorcycle, lawn mowers, grills. They are everywhere on my property and fiendishly smart creatures. I've spent far too much time watching youtube videos...

    Steering problem after state inspection

    I took my new MY LR to have its required state inspection (New Hampshire) this morning and it came back "broken". That was a worry I had as I'm in a rural area with few Teslas and these guys definitely don't know how to operate a Tesla. The symptom is that the steering feels digitized so...

    wifi bandwidth hog

    This post applies to very few tesla owners but I'm sharing for the few rural owners with limited wifi. We took delivery of our MY a week ago. We then lost our ability to connect to the internet which, for us, means no phone calls as well as all the other internet uses (no cell service here)...

    Least expensive charging option better than 110

    What might the least expensive option be for charging my MY that's better than 110V, 15A? I'm likely selling my home and had planned to use local plugshare options but I've decided riding my bike back and forth is unreasonable - especially in the rain :) (the closest plugshare is 15 miles; no...

    2014 MS screen lines

    I realize the screen issues have been discussed and I have read many threads and online information but have additional questions. I do not have the bubbles and there is no "goo" leaking out (yet). My screen has the symmetrical line across it and the sine-wave-like lines at the top as well...

    camp mode and 12v outlet

    We recently had a 14 hour power outage; very hot, hot night without A/C. All I really wanted was a fan (50W) and maybe a light. I have a 150W inverter that plugs into a cigarette lighter and hoping that would work plugged into my 2014 MS cigarette lighter while in camp mode? Any risk of...

    Scheduled Charging

    I've read a couple threads with similar question I have but I'm still baffled. car info: 2014 Model S. My electric bill soared in the last month and I never guessed it was because of the time when my Tesla was charging until I went into the garage and found it was charging during peak...

    KBB vs Tesla.com

    I'm considering selling my 2014 Model S (60 kWh, 31,000 miles) and on the steep learning curve. KBB say my car is worth $45,000. Tesla has one for sale for $66,000. How do I determine realistic pricing for my Tesla? I'm leaving the country and would prefer to sell though not really...

    I need a third estimate for minor damage to my rear bumper - garage door scratch : ( I've got an estimate from Amato's and West Coast Specialties - 2 great body shops but I need a third recommendation. Thanks.

    Leaf Battery Application - Leaf Spy

    I just learned about this app on the LEAF forum because I'm planning to sell me LEAF. This is a very cool app - Does anyone know if there is an equivalent for the MS? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Turbo3.Leaf_Spy1&hl=en

    Maintaining radio volume with doors open

    This has undoubtedly been asked before, but couldn't find anything via search. I would like to maintain my radio volume with the driver (or any door) open. I'm pretty annoyed at this lower volume "feature" when you open the door - why did tesla do this? Doesn't matter; but I want this feature...

    Body Shop in San Diego area?

    The official body shop for Tesla in the San Diego area is Amato's. Has anyone used any other body shop for their MS? I only need the rear bumper removed then reinstalled after I install an eco-hitch. thanks.

    garage floor finish

    I'd like to finish my concrete garage floor and hoping some of you can make a recommendation. I'm not reading great stuff about epoxy finishes. My current garage floor was painted by a previous owner that didn't hold up and looks really bad now. I realize that paint would have to be removed...

    110 vs 240 charging

    The Tesla charging calculator says that it takes 22.1 kWh to charge for 50 miles using a 110V outlet but only 15.5 kWh using 240 V. kWh should be the amount of energy that is stored in the vehicle - and it is the amount that we pay for. Why and where is the loss by charging with 110V outlet??

    running lights

    I just placed my order for the MS 60 yesterday. The only thing I would want from the tech package is the running lights, but I'm not going to pay $3750 for this feature. My questions is directed to those who don't have the tech package (is there anyone??): Once you set the headlights to "ON"...
