  2. Snow Tires for Model S

    Question by 'HankLloydRight' on marketplace listing 'Snow Tires for Model S'

    It would be very helpful to potential buyers if you posted what kind and size of tires these are (it's in the photo, but don't make people go searching for them, make it easily accessible); , clear photos of the tread of all four tires clear photos of the rims of all four wheels a measurement...

    MS Plaid demo cars with over 13000km (8000mi)

    I'll research this tomorrow, but I don't think that's actually legal. Any "new" cars are still new, unregistered, and untitled. Since these cars are never registered or titled to the first real buyer, there's no point in time for the warranty clock to start ticking. I think Tesla by law (in...

    MS Plaid demo cars with over 13000km (8000mi)

    I bought my first P85+ as an inventory car in 2014 with more than 8000 miles. At delivery you could tell it wasn’t a brand new car. Also, for new “inventory” cars, the factory warranty starts when YOU buy the car, not when it was first driven. At least that’s how it works in the US. If it’s a...

    Honest review of the Cybertruck

    It’s unfortunate your other post get deleted and you were banned. But that sounds like a total Elon Musk move, so it’s not surprising that his sycophants fall right in line like that. Thanks for your honest review.

    Diy 3g to 4g(lte) help please

    Upgrading from the 3G radio to LTE requires taking the MCU out and replacing the daughter card as shown in the first video. It's not just replacing the SIM card. But you should just upgrade to MCU2 which includes the LTE upgrade. MCU2 is night and day better compared to MCU1...

    What if Tesla goes bankrupt?

    It's not a binary thing. It's not "update bricks car" vs "flawless software". There's a huge spectrum of "bad design" that doesn't lead to firmware updates bricking cars.

    What if Tesla goes bankrupt?

    I said “to make sure…” that the cars don’t brick themselves. Tesla software engineering isn’t the best out there these days and who knows what single line of code wouldn’t fail if the car couldn’t connect to HQ after some unknown period of time. Teslas are chock full of “bad design.” See: rain...

    What if Tesla goes bankrupt?

    Hypothetically a complete shutdown would most likely never, ever happen. Tesla as a company would most likely be sold or acquired (at a discount) by some other company (or investment group) and would keep all those services running. Maybe firmware updates would slow down or stop, but the...

    Roadster 2023

    Exaaaaaactly. He's going to weird it out so much it's not going to be anything remotely usable or feasible in the real world (sound familiar? :) ) We're all just watching Elon Musk materbate in real time.

    I totally agree. Sounds like vaporware. I'm no physicist, but a <1 sec 0-60- -- what are the G forces with that? Doesn't sound like it would be pleasant unless you're a trained fighter pilot.

    Tesla charging $6,000 to $6,500 to wrap the truck!!! Yikes. Save your money!!

    Dude, in case you haven't noticed lately, Tesla is a public company whose objective is to maximize shareholder value. This isn't an "Elon being Elon" thing, he likely had very little to do with this plan or factory wrapping option. If TSLA can make bank wrapping CTs from people who don't know...

    Referrals Gutted

    It's not just you. I have a 2014 MS with AP1 and FUSC... there are ZERO accessories I can use or upgrades available to me in the app. I bought dozens of "Model Y" sweepstakes entries for naught. And I don't need any Tesla "swag" (at this point, even if I wanted it, I wouldn't go out in...

    Powerwall dilemma -- not sure if I have any options

    Mine are stacked -- red one in front of the white one.. so that really wouldn't work. :( I already asked them that.. the answer was (in effect) "not a chance".

    Powerwall dilemma -- not sure if I have any options

    Unfortunately no.. I already asked. My red 'founders' powerwall is an older version (V1) and not only is the cover ever-so-slightly different size, the Tesla Energy techs aren't in the business to start disassembling two PWs in my basement to swap covers. It's just not something they'd...

    Summer tires in the middle on winter?

    Just schedule your delivery day for a day when it’s at least 40 degrees and dry, and you can drive home on the summers. ;)

    Powerwall dilemma -- not sure if I have any options

    Hi folks. Years ago I won one of the rare red "signed" powerwalls from the referral program. I had it installed in my home at the time as purely backup as we didn't have solar. We moved from that house in 2020 and put the red PW into storage waiting for Tesla solar to be installed at the...

    Supercharging for “lifetime of car” transfers under the current FSD & Supercharging transfer to new cars

    Oh, I missed that part. Right, the transferred FUSC would stop with the new car. Full stop.

    Summer tires in the middle on winter?

    I don't like staggered setups -- ESPECIALLY in winter wheels/tires where a staggered setup offers zero additional benefit. None. In fact it's worse if you're driving in snow -- wide tires are awful for snow. I've argued before that even in staggered summer setups are only for machismo bragging...

    Supercharging for “lifetime of car” transfers under the current FSD & Supercharging transfer to new cars

    Don't bet on that. Most Tesla sales reps would have no idea what you're talking about nor know how to correctly answer your question. You might be better of going to a service center and asking them what option code you have -- SC01, SC04, SC05, SC06 -- they all mean something different.

    Summer tires in the middle on winter?

    Option 1: https://shop.tesla.com/product/model-s-19_-tempest-wheel-and-winter-tire-package Option 2: 19" Tesla Wheel and Winter Tire Package - Model S (June 2021 - Present) I would strongly suggest not getting staggered winter wheels/tires (Option 1). And stick with 19" rims for winter.

    Going from a S to a X

    I would double check this -- I don't think either are usable on a 2024. Maybe the rims and tires are, but I really doubt the roof rack is transferable -- especially if you have a sunroof.

    Why am I getting this?

    (not a mod)... Incorrect. Cloudflare is a reverse proxy that filters all traffic to TMC, which is hosted somewhere else. Cloudflare is not a web hosting service. It's a mix of both. Cloudflare recently increased bot detection across the board (as well as for all of my sites as well), and if...

    Requirements for Garage plug for Model 3

    Getting a 240v circuit at 50 amps so you can charge at 40amps is way more than most people need. Running a 60amp circuit will be much more expensive with only very marginal benefits. At 40 amps, you can still charge from zero to full overnight. Rarely is there need for more/faster charging.

    Buying a used Plaid - questions

    Unless it has changed (which I don’t think it has), the “original owner” stipulation to buy an extended service agreement ended in 2017. See: https://www.tesla.com/support/extended-service-agreement

    Trust in “Demo Vehicles”

    I bought my first P85+ as an inventory car in 2014 with 8600 miles and a pretty good discount. Car was like-new when I took delivery and never gave me any issues (other than are normal for early RWD Model S) Well then if it's not for you, it's not for you. Only you can make that call.

    Can my friend transfer his Cybertruck reservation to me?

    No you can’t merge accounts. Also this might be something: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/tesla-will-not-allow-accounts-w-cybertruck-reservations-to-change-e-mail-addresses.319347/

    Can my friend transfer his Cybertruck reservation to me?

    You can change the email address on the account once you login. The current account owner could log in and change the email address to a new account, then transfer the entire account. Easy peasey.

    Tesla’s +$255Bn Home Charger “CarBnB” Opportunity

    I've never seen a condo building in any central city not be gated and secured. I don't see how juggling fobs or key codes would solve that. And even if that problem is solved, each owner would need to get permission from the condo/coop to allow third party cars into the facility. That's a huge...

    Tesla’s +$255Bn Home Charger “CarBnB” Opportunity

    This still makes zero sense to me. First of all, how does Tesla make over $3b on third-party chargers and parking? Wouldn't you need to compensate the spot owner most of the revenue for the parking and the energy costs? Second, you're assuming 3 MILLION such charging spots. Where are all...

    Can my friend transfer his Cybertruck reservation to me?

    He would need a different email address, sure, but for the rest, once logged into the friend's account, he can change ALL the contact info to his own. There would be no trace of the original account holder's info. And keep in mind that as far as Tesla is concerned.. an email address like...

    How much Tesla stock to buy to make $50 hr?

    Three things. #1 If anyone could answer that question, they're not telling you how to do that. #2 Nobody can answer these questions. #3 Percent return is percent return, it doesn't matter if you invest $1 or $1m. You don't get higher returns by investing more money (in the same investment).
