    Power conversion system defective model Y 2022

    All you can do is wait. Only “compensation” you can expect is Uber credits or a loaner car.

    Newbie question

    Current market your out of luck for that price range. Unless you want an extremely high mileage pre autopilot car.

    I would never purchase a tesla again!

    My statement was not an absolute as stated by the “more so” portion. So the “not true” part is a little rude. Can you get an extended warranty for an ev? Yes absolutely. But there is not the million different fly by night companies offering it, nor is every used car dealers “preferred partner”...

    Full matrix headlight functionality just approved by NHTSA!

    Easiest way to know if you have them is to do the light show Easter egg while facing a wall. If you see tesla projected on the wall you have matrix lights.

    I would never purchase a tesla again!

    Exactly. Only middle ground that might help a tiny bit is an extended warranty, however that’s really more in the traditional ICE world.

    I would never purchase a tesla again!

    Correct. Most common issue we had was lifter failure that resulted in camshaft damage on our 5.3l engines after about 65-70k miles. Second common issue was piston ring failure resulting in cylinder scoring.

    I would never purchase a tesla again!

    The company I work for has had to rebuild 3 engines, replace 2 completely, and replace/rebuild 4 transmissions on our fleet of 2019 Silverado’s. Are we disappointed that this happened? Sure we are, but we are out of warranty and it’s just the nature of out of warranty cost. Any vehicle can get...

    Trade-in a Tesla Lease not allowed.

    What is the exact wording in your exact leases section in the early buyout/purchase section. It will have to disclose the terms. That’s the main thing we care about. I have seen lease horror stories that had wording that allowed that option to be determined/changed and was solely up to the...

    Trade-in a Tesla Lease not allowed.

    Ending Your Lease Early specifically states third party buyout is not allowed and to check your individual lease for exact options. Check your exact lease if it says “you” the signer can buy it out then that means just you can buy it out no third party. If it says you or a third party then it...

    Trade-in a Tesla Lease not allowed.

    Does it suck yeah. But at the end of the day you should be more disappointed in the dealer for not doing their job. It’s their responsibility to know what companies allow third party buy out and who doesn’t. The list of those who don’t is pretty long now days. They didn’t do their job and seems...

    Fremont 4680 indicators

    The first certification Austin y’s that we saw from drone shots a little while back were all LR. Then the shots from the inside the factory the other day were LR also.

    DCU auto loan question

    Those are the terms of your approval. There really isn’t anyway around it without illegally breaking your terms with DCU. Seeing that you called them and they verified this is a requirement you should seek another lender if your deductible is a hard point. I would suggest you shop around...

    Refreshed model S Tire rotation

    Haha right? That’s the downside of the lumping of so many years together.

    Refreshed model S Tire rotation

    The current manual is lumped as 21+ for model S. There are some pre refresh 21 S’s that were made. Likely kept it for those, they should add some wording that states it only applies to non staggered tires though.

    Anyone else have issues with their 2021 refresh Model S?

    The odds of all that happening at once seem so low maybe your just the kind of person that weird things happen to. Just be careful when it comes to lightning and sharks 😉

    Anyone else have issues with their 2021 refresh Model S?

    You should probably play the lottery… have heard of all these issues independently but never all at once on a refresh S of all things 😬

    Idle Fee

    If your at a busy supercharger there will almost always be an 80% auto limit even if you don’t see/miss the notification. If you need that 100% after charging is started and it’s going for a minute or two then set to 100%. Otherwise the charger will almost always cap you at 80%. It can also...

    4680 Batteries from Giga Texas

    Yes currently made in china 3’s will usually have newer features/changes that slowly make it to US made cars. Ryzen and 12v battery changes are the most recent changes that china cars had before US cars. Prior to that I know a big thing was china cars had heated steering wheels but Fremont cars...

    2019 Model 3 Sr+ to 2018 model s...thoughts?

    US owner here so I can’t comment on the CCS portion but I can say I went from a 2018 sr+ to a 2020 performance S. Long story short I only kept the S for 3 months before getting rid of it and putting in an order for a refresh S. Honestly everything about the pre refresh S just felt old compared...
