I have a 2015 Model S. Last night I got these errors. They went away for a bit and then came back. The left headlight is flickering, and I lost power steering and power braking. Basically, it isn't safely driveable. Any idea what would cause this? ESP_w003 Traction Control Disabled BC_W005...

I have heard that some S70Ds in 2015 were software limited. How can I tell if mine is? Do I need to ask Tesla? It shows 06/15 as the manufacture date. If it is software limited, I wonder if they would let me upgrade?

Does anyone have good information about the difference in range between a 100-kWh and a 90-kWh battery in a Model S? Is it roughly 45 miles? I have a 2015 model S 70D that I will probably upgrade. There is a big difference in cost between the 90 and the 100...trying to decide if it is worth it...

Hey, have any of you done much camping in your Tesla? I’ve been a bit frustrated that many RV sights don’t allow you to use them with the car and a tent. So it seems really difficult to find a spot with a 50 amp charger. I would love to be able to plug in and have a full charge by morning, and...

What do you guys think of buying one of these? When traveling, if we rent a house there may not be a 220 volt connector available, but surely there would be two 120-volt circuits, right? Does anyone have experience using one of these...

I own a 2016 Model S 70D. It currently has 161,000 miles on it. I love the car, and am hoping the battery lasts a LONG time. It currently charges to 214 miles, which is fine for me. My question for discussion is this: When the battery finally does die, should I buy a new car or upgrade the...

We have a loud fan noise going. Anyone had this happen or know what is causing it? It sounds like a fan rubbing maybe. https://photos.app.goo.gl/1Hqbp4Eu4LWX4NydA

During the ice and snow weather, the felt part of the inside of the passenger side wheel well came loose and eventually tore off completely. I still have the piece. Does anyone know what part I need to have to replace that? Or even how important it is? It seems like it must protect wiring and...

I love my 2015 Model S70D, and enjoy the free supercharging. However, I also have a 2018 Model 3 that I bought new, and I have noticed the Model S takes longer to charge. I have heard that the model S was "nurfed" to charge slower, to protect the battery. Is there a way around that at all? I...

Well, my SR plus Model 3 is giving us errors. We are having it towed to the service station as it won't drive. BMS_A151 and BMS_A035. Does this mean the battery has died? We are out of warranty, unfortunately. Also, if we DO have to get the battery replaced, can we upgrade to a longer-range...

Is there a way to have Tesla read messages that come in from discord and reply, like you can when texting? I would like to switch to discord instead of text, except that I like the option to have the car read me the texts and the ability to use voice to reply.

Recently when we try to plug in my Model S, sometimes it won't allow the charging cord to go in. It is like it is locked before it is plugged in somehow. I think I can hear it "trying" to unlock maybe? We mess with it (like open and close the port door, etc) and then it will allow it to plug in...

I currently own a 2015 Model S 70. It has 142,000 miles on it, and charges up to 208 miles. Which is totally fine for me. My hope is that this care last me for a VERY long time. My question is this: When it does come time to replace the battery, what are my options? Could I get a better longer...

I have a 2015 Model S70D. It has 138,000 miles on it. I purchased it used, and the warranty for the battery will be up next year. My question is this: How much battery degradation would have to happen for them to justify replacing the battery under warranty? The range can be set to "realistic"...

We are having an issue with the front passenger door handle of our 2015 model S. I see that these are common problems, but our symptoms seem to be slightly different. 1. The handle doesn't present, although sometimes it comes out slightly. But when we press in on the door handle a couple...

We just purchased a 2015 Model S 75D AWD. It sounded great for the first few days. Now it is starting to make a sound. It is a very intermittent sound, it often happens when we either accelerate very slightly or slow down and the regeneration is happening slightly. I have two videos where we...

The one problem I have discovered on my recent purchase of a 2015 model S 75 is that the voice command button doesn't work. However, when I hong the horn the voice command thing does come up. I assume that means that the problem is that actual button itself, correct? 1. I assume I am out of...

yesterday I purchased a 2015 85s. When I test drove it, they had it charged to 255. However, I drove it home last night (it was a 3 hour drive), and charged it on my wall charger (I already have the Model 3 so I already have a wall charger). This morning I noticed that on the app and in the...

I have heard that before 2015, the drive trains on the model S often had to be replaced. What about 2015? I am looking at a 2015 Tesla Model S 70D, with 130,000 miles on it. It is AWD as well. I think that means it isn't one of the earlier problematic drive trains. Is that correct?

I am thinking about purchasing a 2014 Model S with 88,000 miles on it. It looks very clean. Free supercharging, free connectivity, new tires. My main worry is about the drive train. I have heard that some 2014s had drive trains that went bad right away. The owner says the drive train has not...

My wife and I currently have a model 3, and it has been amazing so far. We have over 90k miles on it and we love it. However, generally she uses the car to go to her work which is farther away, and I drive our old Mazda CX9 to work. We have been thinking of getting a model Y, but 60k is hard to...

We have a Model 3 standard range plus with 90,358 miles on it. We are getting a "Powertrain requires maintenance" error. It sets the speed down to 58 or even 54. We have a pretty steep hill on the way home and we barely made it up the hill. We have an appointment set with Tesla on 11/12, but we...
