    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...

    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...

    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...

    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?

    Link: Teslas new Superchargers leave Roadster, other EV owners flat | ExtremeTech I'm flabbergasted that Tesla is not including an ability to charge Roadsters in their new supercharging network. I expected to come here and see a thread about it already. I understand the fast charging...
