    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

    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.

    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...

    Omaha, Nebraska or Des Moines, Iowa borrow Charging cable

    We left our charging cable in Missouri and just realized it today. We are taking a trip and need a charging cable. Is there anyone in the Omaha or Des Moines area that would be willing to lend theirs to us for the weekend? We would be coming back through on Monday. Thanks in advance for any...

    Denied Tire Warranty due to uneven wear

    We have 2 sets of tires for our Classic S. One All Season set and one Winter set. The All Season we bout last year at the end of August. Today we were told they needed to be replaced when we went in to have them rotated. The tires have 24k miles on them and the tread life warranty is 35K miles...

    Sidney, NE Supercharger

    The superchargers in Sidney located at the Best Western have been built. I'm unsure if they are operational yet but this comes from a co-worker who spotted them. I may go out there later this week to take a picture of them but with that information it looks like they should be opening quite...

    Anyone have a clue what this means. Wife got this message after she dropped me off at work. I'm awaiting road service to call me back. The car will not charge now. Thankfully she made it home.

    100,000 miles 2014 Classic 85 Model S Review

    100k miles by wcfinvader posted Feb 28, 2017 at 2:48 PM We have finally crossed the 100k miles milestone. I figured I'd give some insight to what our experience has been. We bought this car as a inventory model for $72,500 before any tax credits. We were able to max out the tax credit...

    St. Joseph, MO ChaDeMO

    I thought we might as well start a thread considering there are no plans between Omaha or Lincoln and Independence for a Supercharger. We use it regularly when going through Independence. Anyone ever have the issue of the station being ICE'd? It happened to us today at late last year. They...

    Replace faulty door handles

    We are at ~76k miles with no warranty. Our Driver's and Passenger side door handles have short in them and I'm thinking about fixing it myself. Anyone got any experience with this? We don't think it's worth ~$2k to replace both handles for a short. I've watched vodeos about how to gain access...

    Future Solar Install (DIY Possible?)

    Is it possible to do a Solar Install yourself? Netmetering here in Nebraska is basically nonexistant (0.01cents/kwh for excess produced while we pay about 0.11cents/kwh). We are wanting to eventually install solar but we are currently wondering if it would actually work for us. We have a...

    Posting pictures from Android Phone

    Most of the time that I post it's using my phone. It works well except when you try to post a picture. So far I have only got 1 picture to post and I've tried many other times. Tell me it's just user error (My error).

    0 miles rated range

    So yesterday we went 3 miles after it hit 0 rated miles. This got me wondering how far can you drive after you hit 0? Our 3 miles was basically 30mph-40mph the entire time. Anyone else run into this yet? We were expecting it to shut down right at zero considering we have a Leaf and that's...

    Thought of selling our Model S but the economics of the alternatives made us keep it

    My wife and I decided to sell our Model S after having it for 10 months thus far. We drive minimum 40,000 mile/year. The reason we bought the car in the first place was due to gas prices and the amount we drive per year. Here's where it gets bad. We do some calculations 15mpg $3/gal...

    Startup Luxury Taxi Service with 1 Tesla

    We are thinking about launching a luxury taxi service using our Model S. All trips would be prearranged. My wife works very limited hours and I work days so there would always be one of us available to drive. We would launch it in Omaha. I looked at the regulations for Omaha and wow they're...

    Got Autopilot for a week

    Our Tesla has been towed back up to Minnesota to get our battery back (HURRAY!). Anyhow they gave us a loaner while they swap it out. We got a 2015 60 with autopilot and supercharging capability. This thing has about evey feature that ours doesn't have minus the cold weather package. I will...

    Tesla Documentary

    My friend had an idea about opening the eyes of others by making a documentary where we drive from Jefferson City, MO to the East Coast and back with the goal of spending as little as possible (camping instead of hotels) to show how inexpensive it is to drive a Tesla cross country. He is a film...

    Missouri vs Iowa

    Long story that'd I'd rather not get into but how much is personal property tax in Missouri for a Model S 85kwh ($94,000)? Iowa is $1,000 to register (equivalent of personal property tax). Considering a move to Missouri depending on cost. Unable to find the tax rate though.

    Suspicous Listing

    Tesla Model S Performance 85 $62,900 Portland, OR I've been talking with the seller and things seem really suspicious. I've already decided to not deal with that seller as I believe it's a scam. I've talked to the guy over the phone and he was very rude and had a heavy accent. There is no...

    Used vs New

    With used prices being so high could someone convince me why it makes sense? We'd like to get a model s used (85) but it doesn't seem to make sense to get one used when the price is at minimum $80,000. Built one on the website and it came out to be $92,000 . All we really require of a model s...
