    Arbitration - Advice needed

    Congrats to you too! I am starting the process with our X as well next week. Same exact thing. Pulls left on acceleration ever since it crossed 20k miles. Just like the S was. Replaced the S with a high end Mercedes. So nice to have a nice car again, and so sad that Tesla does not give a crap...

    Arbitration - Advice needed

    Just to close this thread for future readers. I no longer have a Tesla Model S. I cannot say anything else as I had to sign a NDA. I will say that indeed Florida Lemon Law applies regardless of opting in or out of arbitration with Tesla. I did not opt out. I will also say I had to get a lawyer...

    Lemon law buyback successes without having opted out of arbitration?

    I am in Florida. But I think others will find this useful. Sine I am under NDA I cannot say how my case was resolved but I can say that I no longer have 2 Teslas anymore. Florida Law applies regardless of opting out or not. I did not opt out.

    Narrow tire pressure gauge or inflator adapter for turbine wheels?

    I got this. It has a smaller head and fits fine for the X's upgraded wheels with the plastic junk pieces on. It actually works really well so now I am only ever using this as an inflator on all the cars. Very compact. I have only had it for a few months so not sure if it will last...

    Arbitration decision of my PCS dispute

    Thanks for the info! I did exactly what you did above. I have e-mailed them, no reply, then opened a case with AAA. The case has been open for almost 3 months now. Tesla still has not paid the business expense which is overdue now, and the case will be canceled due to no payment in two weeks. I...

    Arbitration decision of my PCS dispute

    Hi, What mailing address did you use when you sent your letter to Tesla? Thanks!

    Narrow tire pressure gauge or inflator adapter for turbine wheels?

    Can anyone recommend me a tire pressure gauge or an adapter that allows to inflate the tires on a turbine wheel without taking the "aerodynamic?" cover off? Most normal inflators are too wide for that plastic cover, and that plastic cover is a major pain to take off every single time I adjust...

    Arbitration - Advice needed

    Little update for those who are interested in Arbitration and also live in Florida. If you live in FL, you do not need to wait for the arbitration result with Tesla. The law still applies. (Which is the opposite what I have found just googling.) If your car has been out of service for 30 days...

    Arbitration - Advice needed

    It does. But there are no details. All it says is: 1. Send an e-mail with you request to [email protected] 2. If not resolved in 60 days file with AAA. It seams others here had the whole process completed within 60 days or less.

    Arbitration - Advice needed

    I am in FL. I did not opt of the arbitration clause, so FL Lemon Law does not apply to me. That is my understanding. Am I wrong? I have read the section about the arbitration. So other than sending an e-mail detailing the issues and the countless past issues I had with the vehicle (though most...

    Arbitration - Advice needed

    Actually, reading here arbitration works. I will be happy if they take it back. It is a lease. I am tired of driving a car that does not go straight and costs 115k or whatever it was.

    Arbitration - Advice needed

    I did not opt out of arbitration. So that is my route. I have seen a few posts (success stories) here about it and I am after info on how to go about this. I no longer care about getting this fixed. If they do get it fixed, it is fine. I will drive it until the end of the term. I was pretty...

    Hi, I am wondering if anyone has any advice with the arbitration process. How to get it started, do I need a lawyer, any useful information, etc. My issues is this: 2022 Model S with the following issues that Tesla is not able to fix: - Car pulls hard left on acceleration and on regen...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Never had a problem with that. I have a ton of problem with their new design and iDrive 6 and on. Hence I am not driving one after driving maybe 15-20 of them since I was 18 pretty much. I also have a problem with the Svarowsky shift handle due to lack of ideas. I can go on bashing BMW here if...

    My 12 month review of owning my 2022 Model S Long Range

    Someone behind me answered it. Lack of features (ok I don't need fragrance), and to me the materials being used are inexpensive. The design is what it is. I don't necessarily have an issue with that. It is not my style. Something interesting happened to me when it comes to battery degradation...

    I can no longer recommend Tesla. Their Service is the Worst

    The Lucid is cool. But I am worried about their survival still. Rivian is a truck. Hardly an MS alternative. Other: EQS is ugly (IMHO). eTRon GT looks great but no over the air updates I am reading. BMWs are ugly (to me after driving them pretty much exclusively for 30 years or more). I have my...

    I can no longer recommend Tesla. Their Service is the Worst

    I hear the OP. If they could just get the quality up. Get a loaner system. Even an on site rental company is fine. Stop with the "within specs" BS. This would be a much better experience. It could be perfect. Tesla is like the person who has ran most of the iron man, but quits just short of the...

    Tesla Begrudgingly “Recalls” FSD Beta for NHTSA

    Interesting. This same exact thing happened to me one very early morning without any traffic around. I just realized FSD was available a day prior and I figured I will let it drive down to work. It was like 4:30am. Zero traffic. Perfect to play with it while drinking coffee. I was coming up on...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I have not driven the EQS or the Lucid. I am comparing this to iDrive 5 (I think it was 5) from BMW and there are definitely some cool things in the Tesla that I have never seen before. The garage door opening, green light alert, navigate home or to work with a swipe, just to mention a few. But...

    2023 Deliveries?

    I see. I am ok to wait a bit for the latest and greatest. I am a sucker for the latest gadgets. I hope HW4 has surround view and better cameras. One issue I have with the car is the poor quality of the cameras and the lack of forward parking camera aka surround view. I have had that since 2011.

    Has anyone taken delivery of a new Model S and opted for the steering wheel?

    I seconds that. The missing stalks is the bad thing. Even the turn signal is okay but to me the high beams and the wiper is very annoying. Especially the wiper. Especially since the auto function is just bad. Arghhh... and why can't we have a phone button? Neither of those are fixed in the...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    That S is indeed a dream when it comes to interior and luxury. But compared to the MS being an EV it is so not practical. The EQS is plain ugly. That is my problem. Do I want to trade practicality for luxury? It is also not nearly as cool as a Plaid. There is plenty S580s for sale right now...

    My 12 month review of owning my 2022 Model S Long Range

    I am glad you like yours. I had my LR for just a year and it is a love and hate. I put 22k on it. It completely stopped once and that turned into a service disaster that lasted 3 weeks. I also had the center console replaced as it was wired wrong. The rear USB ports had to be fixed. The square...

    Poor Delivery / Lease Return Experience

    They are a total and complete disaster in every respect. They could not do worse if they tried. The moment I realize I have to do anything with Tesla, as a company, I need something for acid reflux. Be that service, loan documents mess up, delivery experience mess up, etc. It never fails. The...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Hmmmm I listed my 22 LR on swapalease a few days ago. It seams someone wants it already. Plan was to get a Plaid or an S580 but I think I will go for the plaid. Not 100% I am still looking. But now this threw a wrench into the system. I really want the swivel center screen, and the matrix lights...

    Cannot turn off FSD visualization on '22 Model S

    As stated, 2022 MS LR. I have FSD. If I turn off FSD I see the normal fairly clean visualizations of a few vehicles around me, and the road. If I turn FSD ON the instrument panel gets very busy, a ton more information is displayed and it is very cluttered for my taste. If I select FSD...

    After 5-weeks, I turned FSD Beta off!

    By the way, since they took out the sensors (I mean disabled them), I get several warnings on a typical 40 min commute. The stop and go is the worst. I pull up behind a car at a red light.... slooooowly... and keeps beeping. Lovely!

    Steering wheel off center but alignment in spec?

    Same here. 2022 MS. I needed new tires ($2800+ with alignment... ouch) and they also did an alignment. It is just slightly off to the left. Went back. They had the car for a whole day to tell me it is within specs. They showed me the service screen showing the wheel centered. I went home...

    Model S Reversing Camera failing

    I have something similar on my 2022 Model S. The center camera goes blank intermittently. No flickering just blank. I am about to pick it up. The service advisor in West Palm Beach (Okechobee) told me if they cannot reproduce it they cannot fix it. A total no can do guy. I doubt they did...

    After 5-weeks, I turned FSD Beta off!

    I agree with the OP. I am about to turn mine off too. The instrument panel is just way too busy. Even if I turn off FSD visualization it still shows all the cars, etc. I guess it is bugged. The whole point of an auto pilot is to relax. The exact opposite is happening when using FSD (other than...

    Costco Bridgestone Run-Flat Tires

    I had many (I don't even remember how many) BMWs with run flats. With the amount of flats we get here in SE FL, where construction just never stops, I want them again. I had no problems with them. Yes. They usually cannot be repaired. But they say the same for my Pilot Sports. Except that I sat...

    "Refreshed" Model S model VIBRATION tracking and information thread!!!

    Mine is not a plaid. I don't think I have track mode. But the vibration is very strong in a sharp corner as I push through 40 MPH.

    "Refreshed" Model S model VIBRATION tracking and information thread!!!

    I was wondering about that. Okay. I am on version 2022.44.30.5. The vibration is there. Faint in straight line. Very prominent while turning. I.e. hard cornering. Not that I do that a lot but this card is really weird while in a corner and pushing it too. It was not like this at all when it was...

    Model S Wh/m

    LOL Don't try a steady 120-130 in Germany. This was 25 years ago, when I used to live there for many years, when you could actually do it. Last three years, when we've visited, they had so much traffic that maybe midnight you could drive that fast, on the few stretches that are still without...

    Center console light question

    2022 S LR. It was a February delivery. When I close the sliding door on the center console to the half way position (so you can still see the cupholders), should the light inside that small compartment be on? On our X it turns off. Here is a picture. A bit hard to see through the gap, but the...

    Model S Wh/m

    I usually get 330-350wh/m on my commute with AP on as often as possible. This in 80-90F Florida weather. Pretty much all highway. First 10 miles set at 60 MPH, last 35 miles set at 80MPH. Which gives me a real world 280 miles range. That is a max range on my LR. If I translate this to a road...

    "Refreshed" Model S model VIBRATION tracking and information thread!!!

    According to some third party companies, this vibration is the result of some relatively weak parts. While searching I ran into this. No. I am not affiliated with them. But these guys say it is a design issue. Has anyone tried these kits? https://n2itive.me/

    What should my ideal charge percentage be?

    Mine started to take a dive suddenly. Lost 7.5% in 16k miles. That sounds hight to me. Initially I used to charge it to 80%, then to 90% per the manufacturer recommendation. I have used fast charges only a few times. Less than 10.

    3rd party loan process? Tips?

    Mine is a big credit union (DCCU). They have some relationship with Tesla. Finally, yesterday I got a call from Tesla and we went over the details. I will be able to walk in with a check as long I can send them a photo of it two days prior. So far the only problem I ran into was that Tesla gave...

    We have a VIN and an EDD in around 2 weeks from now. I got the loan approved from my credit union at a better rate (3.08%) than the current 4.49% for 60 months by Tesla. So I am going with them. Knowing how things go with Tesla, I figured I would ask. What hiccups to expect when you bring your...
