Hi folks, I have a new 2018 Model S75D and Winter Tires/Wheels from my old 2014 Model S. Those have the older TPMS sensors in them that were compatible with the older 2014 Model S. So a few questions: Will those older TPMS sensors work with the new Model S, or do I need to buy new TPMS...

I got the 7.1 update earlier today (pre-AP car) and messed with the auto homelink function as I really wanted it to work. It did for me once, on arrival. But the next 10 times it didnt. It never worked on departure. When things didnt work I tried resetting the homelink position in a few...

I don't want to turn this into a Model X thread but it would be great to know as the Model X rolls out who has received one in our area and if they'd be willing to do a show and tell for other X reservation holders or Model S owners. Im on the list for the X but havent gotten the configuration...

Hi folks, I have about 50K miles on my Model S and i'm hearing a "ticking" type noise on back/bumpy (but not too bumpy) roads or when I stop/start coming from what sounds like inside my seat or my passenger seat. Going with my standard procedure I waited for a passenger to notice, but its...

Hi folks, I'm nearing my extended warranty (ESA) decision for the 50K limit (I'm at 48K). Im looking for some actual costs on out-of-warranty repairs for things that would have been covered by an extended warranty. So not things like normal wear and tear, things from accidents/damage etc, but...

Hi folks, I haven't seen this discussed in my travels. I visit my parents a lot, especially with recent health issues. I currently use a NEMA 14-30 and a 30' Camco extension cord and have to go through gyrations each time to unplug the dryer, route things through the window, roll up the heavy...

I think the kid managed to mash some mud into the front passenger speaker grill. I tried picking it out with a pin but its still there. This is the pic after I tried several ways of cleaning it. Doesnt look big in the picture but its pretty noticeable inside. Has anyone removed the grill...

If you're a Model S owner about to trade in your Model S on a new P85D, 70D etc. have you thought about your parcel shelf? For many the parcel shelf wasn't free, it was a $250 upgrade which seemed a lot for what it did. When your trade in is valued you will most likely not receive any extra...

I just reserved a Model X (seq #16,840), one thing that has always bugged me on the Model X for all the pictures/etc i've seen is how the 17" sticks up above the top of the dash. It makes the 17" look more glued on than built in. Im hoping that changes but I suspect it won't given its always...

A few days ago at ~26K miles (S85, standard suspension) and about 1K after my "annual" service I started hearing creaks coming from the front left wheel. At first I thought it was just bad pot holes but its also on normal bumps, turns etc. Its very noticeable and seems to be getting louder. Im...

Hi folks, trying to figure out what the real story is since i'm getting mixed messages here in MA. About a month after I took delivery I reached out to Tesla service and explained that I drive 30K miles a year and do they really want to see me "every 12,500 miles or 12 months, whichever is less"...

Just went through this myself after 7 months/18K miles and i'm hearing of more and more owners having their 12V batteries replaced, sometimes up to 3 times. How big a problem is this?

Hi folks, I just got the 6.0 update and everything seems to be working fine except the calendar part. I'm on iOS 8 on an iPhone 5 and followed all the instructions (granting access, letting Tesla app run, etc). Nothing shows in my calendars on the car even after half a day of waiting. Almost all...

Along the top of the 17" display are a bunch of icons for time, temperature etc. One is for wifi. I noticed on the wifi one (and only on the wifi one) if you hold your finger down on it after about 10 seconds there's a little blink/animation. I did it a few times to confirm and none of the other...

Hi folks, i'm not a city guy so forgive me if this is a silly question. I have a dinner coming up in a few weeks on Beacon Street in Boston. Would love to take my car but I don't think I want valet and i'm worried about tight boston parking, door dings etc. I don't need to charge (Model S has...

Hi all, perhaps i'm making a bigger thing of this than necessary but i'm just over 5K on mileage on my Model S and trying to figure out tire rotation. Watertown service says to rotate every 5-6K miles. Then they said "You can get tire rotations done at any tire shop" or that I could do a walk-in...

The valet service Tesla offers is fantastic -- they come to your door, drop off a loaner and drive away in your car to get it repaired. It combines the test drive (to see/reproduce issues) and the verification drive (post fix) with the whole service process and is really convenient. On thing I...

Anyone found someone making a mat for the center console area? Not the $650 yacht floor thing, but something like an all weather mat but for the console area. Its the only carpet remaining in my Model S. Carpet (and kids) drives me crazy.

I've had my car exactly 2 weeks and have had to reboot the 17" twice: #1: 4/5 seat heaters weren't functioning. Later on I found the browser wasn't opening web sites. A reboot of 17" fixed both issues (service scheduled a visit but never recommended a reboot for some reason). #2: "Bluetooth...

Im really happy with my grey but there are rumors a new selection of colors are coming: Tesla Model S new colors coming soon - TESLARATI.com I wonder if the paint hardness/quality will change too? I like a car that doesnt draw too much attention but it would be good to see some different colors.

Hi folks, I had an issue (browser wasn't working) so I wanted to restart just my 17". The forums/help things I read said this: "SCREEN REBOOT (Main Display): Hold down the middle steering wheel buttons on both sides for a few seconds to reboot the main display. SCREEN REBOOT (Driver’s...

Using song search it correctly finds songs matching the title I chose. For example search for "Cold Spring Harbor". It pops up several results, I select the one from Billy Joel and it starts playing a completely different song (title and artist). Like an Elton John song. Anyone else have that...

Hi folks, less than 2 days until delivery and I unfortunately live in a state that requires front plates. Trying to figure out what people have done. Please don't vote unless you're in a state that requires plates. Also, please don't vote if you don't have a Model S yet.

After placing my order and confirming, I had a question for the sales guy (Natick, MA) and emailed him (had his biz card). He never replied. 10 days after confirming I got an email from the delivery team (Watertown, MA) about uploading some paperwork which I did immediately. I had some follow up...
