    Tesla Orlando claiming front license plate mounts can no longer be removed?!?

    Yep that's exactly why I wanted them to remove it. As absurd as it is, a service rep just showed us the internal memo / email: As of January 12, 2022 is Tesla corporate policy that dealerships shall no longer remove front license plate mounts. The race between tesla-car-improvements and...

    Tesla Orlando claiming front license plate mounts can no longer be removed?!?

    Hi All - I've been a multi-Tesla owner since the original Roadster... feeling the decline of Tesla service since 2009! The latest absurdity: Our brand-new Plaid Model S was delivered with a front license plate holder. Front license plates are not used in Florida. We made it clear at pick-up...

    Good SF Bay Area shop for suspension work

    Suspension Performance Eric did upgraded my Tesla Roadster suspension and brakes for the Refuel time trials. He designed the original Elise suspension while working at Lotus. Great guy and understands these cars very well. He's in Scotts Valley now.

    PowerWall 2 "stacking" limited to 6 units?

    Hi All - I had my site audit last week. I just got a call saying they can't install the 9 PowerWall 2 units I ordered because "due to a limitation in the Tesla energy gateway, a maximum of 6 PowerWall units can be installed" The web site still says "Installs easily on the wall, or stack up...

    Tire has nail... Tesla says they can't replace it until NOVEMBER?

    Hi all - Our Model X managed to get a nail in a rear tire. Tesla says they have no appointments available to replace the tire until November. Seriously? It looks like this is a custom tire for the Model X as I can't find it in stock anywhere: Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 285/35R22 106W...

    Tesla Roadster - new key needs what ???

    Hi Roadsterfolk - So I've misplaced my key for my 2008 Tesla Roadster Sport. I'm sure it will turn up at the house some month, but in the meantime I'd like to drive it. Called Tesla (San Rafael) today about getting a new key. They had to get my number to call me back so they could research...

    Model S "Subframe adjustment"

    That is certainly my opinion (both on cause and cost); but I would love to hear from some more TMC folks on this one . . .

    Model S "Subframe adjustment"

    Hi - a question for the forum: My Model S was just at the body shop to have very minor paint/plastic damage repaired (a victim of the pre-creep mode profile fix; i am used to creep mode off, my wife drove the car and turned creep mode on, and that setting didn't stay with the driver profile...

    Dangly weight tied to steering wheel to fool autopilot that you're paying attention?

    I just drove for over three hours (ok, the car just drove for over three hours) and it asked me to put my hands on the wheel three times total. There is no nag.

    REFUEL 2015 - Roadster wins again

    Well Roadster-ers, I have good news and good news. My 2010 Tesla Roadster Sport 2.0 won the REFUEL Production GT class time trial again this year. Now last year this was largely because my friend Joe Nuxoll was driving - he's very good - and the production P85D wasn't out yet. Joe beat the...

    Tire/wheel setup on P85D

    question - is this just a tire change, or are the rear wheels wider to accommodate the 265's?

    Uhm, where did the next gen seats go? (was browser issue)

    (nevermind, it was a browser issue) Hi all - I went to configure my P85D. First thing I saw was that dual-chargers are no longer a factory option. Came here and read the thread about it. However, "next gen" seats are also not showing up as an option now. Anyone have an idea what's going on...

    Roadster parts becoming a significant problem?

    Hi all - I happened to drive by a certified Tesla collision repair center today. They had 6-7 Model S cars in front of the shop. Having a friendly chat with one of the workers I mentioned I had a Roadster. He said oh man, don't get in an accident. I asked why... he said they have had a...

    C7 Corvette or Used Roadster?

    I have a Tesla Roadster 2.0, and I have a 2014 Corvette Z51. The Roadster is my daily/weekend fun car and the C7 is my track car. They are both amazing cars. The Roadster is fun, unique, and quiet. My only concern with Roadster is maintenance. They seem to be the bastard stepchild of the...

    Roadster back to its rightful spot at the front of the Refuel Leguna Seca time trials

    Wheels / Rims for a Roadster 2.0?
