Thank you very much, not sure why it didn't come up in my initial search!

I have a 2016 Refresh Model S 90D with XM radio, and have had no issues with it for the 4 years or so i've owned it, and today when i got into my car, the XM radio button had vanished. I've reset the MCU a few times, and sent a refresh signal, but the button just seems to have vanished, it...

it's all the way through the clearcoat. I ordered a paint match kit to try and do what I can to make it as unnoticeable as possible.

It's the drivers side door right below the handle.

It just looks like a $20 bill because it's next to a Tesla. It's an optical illusion.

I got a scratch a month or 2 ago on the side of my Blue Model S and decided today to get an estimate on repair of said scratch since it sticks out like a sore thumb when I get the car detailed. 2 of my quotes came back at $1300 and $2900 for the repair and I wanted to see what others have...

you can connect a phone using an HDMI adapter, or use a HDMI cable or wireless HDMI adapter to connect to a laptop, or you can use a power inverter to convert 12v to a mains plug to connect something like an apple TV or Roku.

2016 90d with 27k miles shows 258 @ 90%

I just purchased a used 2016 90d from Telsa yesterday with 27k miles and its rated 100% range is 289. Only 5 miles of degradation isn't too bad over 2 years in my opinion (1.7%).

I was at the Tesla store yesterday browsing and ended up working with someone to check the model X vehicles they had in inventory that might have a discount on them that might be close to the configuration I was looking for and they mentioned something that I hadn't heard of anywhere. He...

I'm always shocked at the crazy range of prices that people seem to pay for insurance. I myself pay $160 a month for a single driver with a clean record for a Prius. I can't even imagine how much my current insurance agency would want to charge me for a Tesla.

All companies don't get to claim the "Inland Waters Transport for Petroleum Subsidy" , nor the "intangible Drilling Oil & Gas Deduction subsidy". The "intangible Drilling Oil & Gas Deduction subsidy" works differently than a typical expense revenue deduction for a normal business, and provides...

Lots of activity today at the site. Here are some fresh photos from just now.

at 50% charge, that's about the right amount. You'll only get close to 120kW during a brief period in the beginning if you're close to sub 20% charge this shows some real world charge curves:

I was about to say the same thing. I've driven all used cars (usually 10-15 years old) up until my recent car, and I've never had to spend anything CLOSE to $200 a month. Sure on occasion your clutch or transmission may go out, or you might have to replace a head gasket, but that's maybe once in...

There used to be a difference in the beginning where they claimed they'd charge a yearly fee to members, but that never happened. I think the difference now is just that you can charge if you pull up to any blink charger as a guest, but if you have the forethought to register as a member and get...

I pulled up next to someone driving down the road eating a bowl of spaghetti with both hands while driving. Not quite as crazy as yours, but a very odd sight none the less.

Maybe a reduction in the supercharger taper, so it takes longer to taper from 120kWh to 60kWh, at which point it holds there until 95% SoC? And the 60kWh charge issue recently was Tesla's way of seeing how a sustained 60kWh performs in a new Supercharger software update? Just spitballing. A...

Yeah that's kinda my thinking after reading a lot of these replies. The house in the end is the smarter solution to be working towards at the moment as it's not a depreciating asset. And for now my prius gets the job done anyway. There's nothing wrong with waiting until I'm ready for the house...

My old job was only 5 miles from home and the plugin was perfect. When I got the new job the green California carpool sticker became valuable as gold. Yeah i I think a new place to live will be primary on my list then the car should be a realistic option. And yes I do have the means to move...

I get the federal rate and make about $2k a month in mileage. currently I drive a plugin Prius so even after fuel costs I make about $1800 net

Yeah it's rough, up at 6AM most days, home around 8. Audible has been making a killing off me on books on tape. My current job situation is essentially a year of lots of on site visits which can last all day long in god knows where, but it's also designed to be a feeder job (lasting...

I wasn't really asking anything from anyone, just kinda expressing my bummed out-ness to my situation with fellow Tesla lovers. Yeah I could speak to the landlord, that's certainly an option, but regardless if 1k is a drop in the bucket, it's still kind of spending cash on something you don't...

I've been a long time fan of Tesla, like many others I'm an enthusiast, avid forum reader, and stockholder, and have been working my butt off to advance my career enough to be able to afford a Model S. Recently this became a possibility..... until the other shoe fell. I now can pretty...

The original author of the question ended up posting in the comments that he actually does have a 40. Then follows up with some attitude. People like this seem to buy tech like this for the flash and to be noticed, when the newness starts to die down and their friends all know they already have...

I've pieced together a lot of things in San Diego, and it seems to be all tied up in some sort of governmental initiative. Cars2Go cars can park in special spots for free such as meters that allow more than 1 hour. Charge stations are often provided to businesses at a reduced or free cost due to...

Yeah they're really nice about that. I live in San Diego and I was getting fed up with all the cars2go cars blocking charge spots, and a single call to them they more than happily offered me a free card to move cars when I needed to charge.

The transformer is on site, probably just waiting to be wired up? Either way I spoke to the hotel front desk and he said it was built right around christmas, and the grand opening is slated for February 18th.

These pictures are dark but it's the best I could get this late, but there appears to be 4 cabinets on each side of the boxed area. I've not snooped enough transformers to know exactly what to look for.

Yeah shocked me too, I try to follow all So Cal stations closely, and was surprised when I pulled in and saw them. So i guess they can be listed as "under construction" until they're lit up.

Pardon me, only 8 stalls. Here are the photos: - - - Updated - - - Nobody charging, 2 of the stalls are ICEd. I didn't see any Teslas charging a few hours ago when i checked in either.

I can't seem to find it listed on the supercharge.info site so excuse me if this is listed somewhere, but I just checked into a Hilton hotel for work at the address: 2410 Marine Avenue Redondo Beach, CA 90278 and it has 8 Supercharging stations all set up.

Not sure if it's related but when I search county permits for the term "tesla" I come up with a Hazmat permit for Qualcomm for this address: 10105 pacific heights blvd not even quite sure why it comes up in the search but it seems close to the speculated address.

It's a shame of all the red tape here in San Diego. One of the best spots would probably be the Station at Morena Vista. It's right at the intersection of the 8 and 5 freeways, is in the same parking lot as a Subway, pizza place, sushi, jamba juice, and a Starbucks. It's also in the same lot as...

Snapped a quick shot at the Flagstaff Supercharger last weekend on my way to Phoenix
