    2014 Model S 85 (Pre-Autopilot) $25,000 ~199,000 miles

    It is still currently for sale but I have someone looking at it this weekend. There are no issues other than it needs new tires which I am willing to take care of prior to selling it.

    Here are some interior pictures. My apologies for the delay. I had hoped to get them posted this weekend. The cabin has Weathertech floor mats for the front and back row.

    2014 Model S 85 (Pre-Autopilot) $25,000 ~199,000 miles

    Not sure how many times the drive unit has been replaced...I want to say twice but might have been more than that. It has the original battery pack and charges to 240 miles of rated range. The original battery pack was sent to Fremont early on so you could subtract about 30,000 miles as I had a...

    2014 Model S 85 (Pre-Autopilot) $25,000 ~199,000 miles

    This has been a great vehicle for me and my growing family. It has only ever had one owner. This car comes with a tech package which includes free data, navigation, and supercharging for the life of the car. I hate to part with my Tesla, but with my growing family I need a larger vehicle.

    GPS reading incorrectly

    That helps immensely. I tried finding a diagram like that and couldn't find one anywhere. Thanks for your help. A redditor had the same issue after getting his back window tinted as well. He found out the GPS reciever got wet from the tint job. I'm starting to suspect the same thing is the...

    GPS reading incorrectly

    I've uploaded some pictures. Where is the GPS antenna in the pictures? I don't see any wires that had any cuts or were not firmly connected.

    GPS reading incorrectly

    I just removed the rear window tint and no luck yet. I have a appointment with the Kansas City Service Center for this Friday where they will just replace the back glass, top brake light, and GPS reciever. I was told that was the only way they can replace the GPS reciever.

    GPS reading incorrectly

    So would the window tint be the cause of the issue? If I remove the tint would that fix it?

    GPS reading incorrectly

    Well that would explain my issues. I did tint the back glass with ceramic tint. How would I go about finding the spot of the antenna on the rear window? Do I have to remove the tint from the entire back glass?

    GPS reading incorrectly

    I called support about this three days ago. The navigation in the car shows the car in the wrong location. I drive 35 miles one way to work. It was drifting off a week ago after a software update (also after having the windows tinted). Support got it working but it did the same thing yesterday...

    Melted HPWC results in charge port needing replacement.

    The last time I talked to the service center They claimed that the Chargers were asking for too much power and thus cause the melting incident. I'm not buying that though because if that were the case then why would anything have been covered under the HPWC warranty? Insurance is currently doing...

    Melted HPWC results in charge port needing replacement.

    Because it was an external device that damaged my charger. My agent doesn't see any reason why this wouldn't be covered. Claims is reviewing it now and a claims specialist will contact me at some point. I do intend on keeping the faulty charger if they allow it.

    Melted HPWC results in charge port needing replacement.

    Tesla has offered to charge me for the charger alone or to remove and bypass the Master Charger which would cost roughly $800. Neither solution is satisfactory to be so I'm calling insurance to see if any of this is covered. If it comes down to it I will be cancelling my Model 3 reservation...

    Melted HPWC results in charge port needing replacement.

    I just escalated my concern for executive review under the My Tesla page. I have been unable to get a hold of the service center today after leaving a message and calling four different times. I am very frustrated at this point. I have talked to corporate customer support and the home...

    Melted HPWC results in charge port needing replacement.

    The person I talked to was trying to convince me that the charger failed independently of the melted chargeport. He stated that if there was a fault in the chargeport it would not allow that power to the charger. I don't understand at all how that could be the case. If the chargeport was...

    Melted HPWC results in charge port needing replacement.

    Late yesterday they stated that they were going to cover the Chargeport under the HPWC warranty but are now stating that the Master Charger needs to be replaced which will cost $2,000 just for the part. They state that the master charger failed along with the chargeport but the failure of the...

    Melted HPWC results in charge port needing replacement.

    Last week I had my HPWC cable replaced under warranty (HPWC had it's own warranty) now my chargeport needs replacement according to Tesla. They are quoting around $1,100 for the replacement and are replacing the MCU under warranty (this was replaced this August). My question is why am I being...

    Why does Tesla use a Resistance Heater instead of Heat Pump

    Heat pump doesn't work below freezing so you still need resistive heating unit. I agree above freezing it works wonders but We've never had to worry about range in our Tesla above freezing. Range Anxiety only occurs when it's WELL below freezing and we have a headwind. Guess what? That means the...

    Battery Charge Level Will Be Restricted. FML.

    If you can even get a loaner pack. Our loaner pack failed at the beginning of the month and we still haven't received our car yet. Most likely it's a bad module. We had the same error message back in April and that was the cause according to Tesla. Click the link in my signature to learn more.

    Charge Limit will be Restricted

    Ovet 2 weeks later and no update on when we may get our car back. BMS system failed in the battery pack and they are waiting on another loaner pack to arrive. They have no clue when that'll happen. We were quoted "weeks" when asked when we will get our car back. Very frustrating.

    Charge Limit will be Restricted

    We just picked up the rental car this morning. We decided on a hybrid. The only hybrid they had at our location was a Ford hybrid. The regenerative braking is very dull in it. I called today to check on how long we should expect to be without our car. We were told that they have two other cars...

    Ability to upgrade battery capacity later?

    From my experience they will sell you a battery but it will be the same size as what ever the car came with. I've been trying to get information about a 100kwh battery upgrade ever since it was announced and even though I've had my battery swapped once and will again this week sometime they...

    Denied Tire Warranty due to uneven wear

    So I went to Discount Tire to discuss why this was denied. He explained it to me very extensively and stated that, like many of you stated, it was due to the was was designed. Tesla specs this car in a way that causes premature tire wear and uneven tire wear. I looked on the "Proof of Tire...

    Denied Tire Warranty due to uneven wear

    Denied Tire Warranty due to uneven wear

    Supercharger - Dows, IA

    I sense dissatisfaction with this decision? Look at map. The Shelby supercharger will enable people to go straight north on US 59 to I-90 supercharger. Right now it's not possible to make it without going through Des Moines. That's the same reason for the upcoming Sioux City supercharger. We...

    Inverter install

    Not meaning to resurrect such a old thread but does this work well if one was to hardwire say a 1000 watt inverter to the 12v battery then run it to the passenger compartment? Would the car keep the 12v charged while supercharging? Is there any concerns I should have before attempting this?

    If you fast charge, Tesla will permanently throttle charging

    It took them 4 hours to swap our pack with a loaner when they had ours so I'm not sure that qualifies as rapid.
