    Tesla Model S Headlight repair DIY. Where to get parts in Australia?

    The left headlight on my 2014 Model S has started to play up. It goes out a couple of minutes after starting the car. I booked it in for service but Tesla have quoted $1700, presumably to just replace the entire headlight assembly. From my reading it sounds like this should be a pretty simple...

    Model S limited to 16A charging with new Wallbox charger

    I’ve just installed a new (single phase) Wallbox Pulsar Plus at my holiday house. It seems to have been correctly installed and is set to 32A internally. However, when I plug my car in (2014 P85 Model S) it will only charge at 16A (The car reports 16A as the max available. ie the display reads...

    Model S Door handle DIY kits in Australia

    One of my 2014 Model S door handles has stopped presenting. I previously had one repaired under warranty but I'm not too keen on the price of an out-of-warranty repair. There are various DIY kits available from the US which I would be very capable of installing myself. Given I probably will...

    Door handle not responding to pulling

    There is a lot of info about door handle issues, but I haven't quite seen this one. I have a 2014 Model S P85, not sure what gen door handles. The right rear door handle presents normally when I approach/unlock the car. A month or two ago it started to need a lot of force when pulling it to get...

    Michelin Pilot Sport 4 suitable for Model S P85?

    Hi all, I have a 2014 Model S P85 that need new tyres. I have had Michelin PS3 tyres previously and fairly happy with them. I notice that the PS4 tyres are now available in the correct size (245/45 R19 102Y). Does anyone have any experience with these for the Model S? I know they are popular on...

    Model S hail resistant?

    So my aging Model S was parked outside in the hailstorm that went through Melbourne on the weekend. Not much I could do about that once it started. After it had passed I went out to check the damage expecting tragedy. Every other car on the street had significant hail damage (although no broken...

    Did I experience a feature regression that got fixed in a software update?

    I have a 2014 P85 in Australia. I was recently on a long winter drive to the snow. About 30 minutes into the drive my heating failed. Not a lot of fun but I decided to press on. I had to stop to supercharge at one of the new dual-cable superchargers (Euroa) and my car would not supercharge. This...

    Model S towbar in Melbourne

    Hi all. Does anyone know of somewhere in Melbourne to get a towbar installed on a 2014 Model S? I don’t want to tow anything. Just carry a couple of extra bikes in addition to the two I’m carrying on the roof. The service centre didn’t seem to have any idea. Cheers in advance.

    Current recommendations for 19" tires for P85

    Hi all, I have a 3.5 year old P85 Model S due for a new set of tires. I have just chewed through a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 3s which have lasted 26000 km which is not too bad given my fondness of the pedal on the right. I've arranged to install another set of PS3s at the service centre next...

    Loan car disappointment

    So I dropped off my Model S at the Richmond service centre today to get a few issues resolved, and instead of the traditional Model S loan car, I was given a Mercedes C200. Apparently Tesla have handed over their loan car responsibilities to a third party and this is what is happening now. The...

    19" tyre suggestions for P85

    I had my car at the service centre last week and was told that my rear tires are close to needing replacement. A bit disappointing that I've only gotten 13000 km out of them. Reading around I suspect that my alignment may have been out as that can apparently speed the wear. They did realign the...

    Suggestions for planning a Victorian ski trip

    Hi all, Just thought I'd bounce a few ideas around. I'm planning on going to the snow in a few weekends' time and need to do some planning as the infrastructure is still pretty thin on the ground unfortunately. I'm thinking Mt Buller but could go anywhere. I haven't organised any accommodation...

    How many are dissatisfied with the Rdio player?

    I've had my Model S in Australia for a bit over 4 months now and I'm really happy with it except for one thing; The Rdio player. In it's simplest form it's pretty good. You choose a station and off it goes playing a semi-random list of songs from the same genre. Similarly choosing a song and...

    An observation

    This is a completely random bored post, but I have noticed that I have been unable to find an intersection where I cannot reach the speed limit before I reach the other side in my P85. Man I love it!

    Australian child seats for Model S

    Hi all, Had a go at installing my existing child seats in my new beast today with mixed results. I've been using imported isofix seats (illegally) for the last few years which are absolutely awesome. The rear-facing one for my 1-year-old clicks into the isofix attachments very nicely and I'm...
