    36K time for new tires

    Just got my car back form Service #3. Tire wear report show 3 tires at 3/32 & one at 2/32 after 36K and rotating these Primacys every 5K. I have an 85S so probably going to go with Cinturato P7 Plus. Car is generally not driven in snow, so all I care about is wet/dry.

    No more snacks at SvC

    Was at my local SvC for the second time in a month today, and both times there were no snacks (unless you count Lifesavers). The word is apparently they're no longer allowed to order things like granola bars, etc. Not that I go to the SvC to graze...but even AAA has a better spread. It was...

    Tire rotation western Chester County/eastern Lancaster County PA?

    Any recommendations? Wi du g my way to Devon and back just for this isn't worth it. Would prefer to go to a local shop with previous Tesla experience if possible.

    Unable to charge error

    Getting the error message shown below when trying to charge from my HPWC: Following the advice has no effect. The car still charges at only 26A when in the past it has charged at 80A with no issues. I called support yesterday, they suggested hitting the reset button on the HPWC. That did...

    Charging continuously cycles on/off

    So I just upgraded to v7 this past Friday. i just moved into a new house where I don't have a TOU program on my electrical service yet, so I don't have a charge timer set. As usual I keep the car plugged in to my HPWC. This morning (Monday) I noticed that my phone was showing a bunch of...

    HPWC wire gage

    I'm building a house & I had my electrician run a dedicated 100A circuit for my HPWC. In my case, the service entrance & breaker panel is on the side of the house opposite the garage. So the total run of the wiring is probably around 80 feet or so. I know he used copper 3 AWG as called for in...

    Battery coolant heater failure

    On a road trip, car kept aborting charge at Glen Allen VA SC. Then I started getting the navy triangle and "do not drive" message, as well as systems check failure. Roadside pulled logs, said indeed don't drive it. So I ended up in a rental and the car ended up flatbedded back to Raleigh the...

    Sunroof lubricant?

    I recently took the MS in because the sunroof was "stuttering" a bit towards the end of travel while opening. I asked the tech what they used to lubricate the tracks so I could DIY in the future. He showed me a container of Klubersynth RA 44-702. I tried searching on this hoping to find it for...

    Southeastern PA Roads!

    I've spent the last two of four weekends driving around in SE PA (thankfully not in the MS) and it's like they've been carpet-bombed. At this point many roads are more pot-hole than pavement. Last year around this time was more of the same. So I'm thinking I should look into steel wheels for...

    H&R Block At Home Deluxe 2014 & IRS 8936

    Anyone know if it's supported this year? I can't find any reliable info on their site. A search of TMC just talks about previous years...

    Auto-present handles finicky all of a sudden

    Auto-present has been finicky for me after the 6.1 update. First thing in the morning even touching the handle doesn't make it present, I have to use the fob. Afterwards they seem to work ok during short errands but if the car sits for a longer period I have to resort to the fob again. Checked...

    Pack balancing & J1772

    At home I use my old AV EVSE from my LEAF days. Even at only 30A I can almost always manage to fit my charging within my off-peak TOU rate plan window. I rarely use my UMC. My (probably) dumb question is, during a range charge using the AV EVSE, can the car balance the battery if it wants to, or...

    PA best insurance rates?

    I was wondering if any PA owners wouldn't mind sharing which carriers they believe are offering the best rates for the Model S?

    Rear hatch latch grinding

    The rear hatch latch has been making increasingly painful sounding noises toward the end of the closing cycle. I now notice there are 'bite' marks in the fixed latch in the bottom of the trunk. I'll be calling for a service appointment but curious if anyone else has seen/heard this?

    HPWC price reduction??

    I read in this post: Yet another reason why the Dual Chargers option is worth having... - Page 15 about someone buying an HPWC from an SC for $750. Has there been a price reduction?

    Passenger mirror failed to unfold

    I (electrically) fold my mirrors before entering my garage. Yesterday morning, I unfolded them as I usually do upon exiting the garage. It wasn't until I got on the freeway & went to change lanes that I noticed the passenger side mirror was still folded in. I hit the button to fold and then...

    TMC on the Model S browser...

    ...doesn't work. :). I couldn't even log in. It was quicker to get my ipad out of the back. This is probably a known issue & I imagine something would've been done about it if it were possible by now.

    Glen Allen VA supercharger 1B cable a little dodgy

    I had to plug/unplug 1B about 4 times tis morning because I was getting the "cable not seated" message, even though it was in as far as it would go. Note to Tesla & anyone who might be charging there this weekend.

    Rear trunk light retrofit?

    My S only has a single (ineffective) light in the center of the hatch. Apparently newer cars also have a pair of lights along the rear trim as well. Assuming these extra lights actually provide useful light, has anyone inquired with an SC about a retrofit?

    Spurious seat heater activation

    Since 5.9 (or maybe since the hack/patch to fix the Nav issue) I've noticed that the seat heaters will spuriously come on for a bit every once in a while. There is no indication on the center display, rather the condition is indicated by sensing a rapid temperature increase in the Gluteus...

    Equity Park, Smithfield NC EVSE?

    Anybody know anything about this station? The Plugshare title says "J1772", but the description says "120V outlets on lamp posts". I need to know if it's one or the other or both. :)

    Raleigh to Morehead City?

    Heading down on Sunday, coming back Monday late morning/early afternoon. Planning on heading down via 70. Plug share reveals few charging opportunities along the way, save a few Nissan dealers that will probably be less than interested in a MS bellying up to the bar. There are a couple of...

    HPWC vs Clipper Creek CS-100?

    Probably going to go with dual onboard chargers unbundled from the HPWC, given its no more expensive to purchase the HPWC later. Any opinions on going with HPWC vs Clipper Creek CS-100 since they appear to be similarly priced?

    Raleigh to Glen Allen or bust

    Curious if anyone has tried to make the trip from (Northwest) Raleigh to the Glen Allen supercharger, assuming you leave Raleigh with 100% charge? This is the first leg of a trip I would make frequently up/down I95. I'd like to do it directly & bypass stopping at Rocky Mount if possible. I...

    Does your Model S fit in your garage?

    I have a "standard" two car garage. I am concerned that the Model S and my wife's Prius V will not easily fit in the garage together. By "easily" I mean be able to comfortably open doors, etc. when both cars are in the garage. The measurements on paper seem to work out, but looking at the car...

    Raleigh area owners: is annual service worth it?

    Curious given we live so close to the service center if buying the service is worth it? Has anyone without a service plan had to go there for any non-warranty service yet? What was the experience/cost like? Do they have posted rates or a service menu?

    Tesla making changes to inventory car purchase process

    Hi, first post here. I've been on the fence about a MS since this past Christmas, and have been exploring the options with my very helpful local Advisor. I just learned last night that Tesla is now requiring inventory cars must be "on the ground" for 90 days before they will be available for...
