    WTB: Single Pirelli Sottozero 19" Tire for Model S. Heavy wear is fine.

    I have a single tire that needs replacement. The set is worn but has some tread life left, so it's a bad time to buy a single. I'm looking for a used tire -- anything with more than 2/32 would be very helpful. I might even be able to use what you consider a finished tire. I'm located in...

    The Open Source Tesla Service Manual

    I started a little project tonight -- a public domain Tesla Service Manual. The idea was born out of two realizations: 1. I've found lots of great DIY tips for issues I've had (mostly on TMC, but also on reddit, skie.net, and the Comma.ai slack channel), but they're generally scattered and lack...

    AP1 Radar With No Gasket?

    I had my original AP1 radar (v3.3) replaced with the updated v5 module. When they replaced it, they left out the gasket. I thought this was a mistake but when I inquired they said "it does not come with the new radar when replaced... The reasoning is that it becomes dislodged... and causes...

    Intermittent AP1 Problem: Reduced Visual, Seemingly No Radar Functionality. Root cause?

    I'm having a problem with Autopilot. Unfortunately because it is intermittent, Tesla has had trouble reproducing and troubleshooting it at the service center. I thought I'd post here in case others have dealt with it or at least seen it. You can see in the photo that the camera is reading lane...

    A Temporary Fix for Broken (Non-Retracting) Door Handles

    The Model S's retracting door handles, particularly the early revisions, are notorious for failing. This is pretty inconvenient, especially when it's for the driver's door, as you have to enter the vehicle through another door and then crawl over or reach across and unlatch the other door...

    Is it possible to recalibrate AP1 without going to a service center?

    We have a little over 50k miles on our Model S, and while it's been a dream car, we have regularly had autopilot woes. Our front camera had to be replaced, we've had two calibrations done, and I believe we now need a third (the dreaded "driver assistance features unavailable" message has...

    What, specifically, is the "unlimited supercharging" license tied to?

    Has Tesla ever made specific reference to what defines the end of "the life of the car"? Or put another way: has Tesla stated the circumstances under which it will revoke free supercharging? This might sound like a pedantic question, but here are some examples where I can imagine it arising...

    Sleeping at Chargers: Do (or Would) You Feel Safe?

    I spend a lot of time on the road. Ski trips, road trips, camping/backpacking. On occasion I will sleep in my car while charging, usually at night, either briefly at a Supercharger or for an extended period at a level 2 charger. I've never had bad experiences, but in the back of my mind I do...

    Transporting a Kayak on Model S

    We have a 17' kayak we need to transport. Best option for something that large seems to be a J-cradle type, like this: http://www.whispbar.com/product/accolades/wb400/ However, I'm not sure what we could anchor the bow line to on the front underside of the car. Anybody have ideas or experience...

    No-Spill Dog Water Bowl Found at Auburn Mall Supercharger

    Someone left a green no-spill dog water bowl behind the first Supercharger stall here in Auburn. I snagged it and will bring it home to Somerville. Doesn't seem worth the hassle of shipping, but if you lost this and you're local or want to swing through Boston, happy to return it to its rightful...

    4x Tesla TPMS for VIN < 51000 I have 4 TPMS modules for older generation Teslas (VIN < 51000). These came from a set of winter tires that were transferred to a newer model Tesla, and thus required new TPMS. Local buyer or happy to ship USPS Priority Mail Insured List Date: 12/2/2015...

    WTB: 19" wheels + winter tires, preferably OEM. Boston area.

    I'm looking for a good deal on a winter wheel/tire set for my 85D, maybe from someone leaving the area who no longer needs them? Not urgent as I'm fine giving this winter a shot with all seasons to see how they do, but I'd happily snipe a good deal on a winter set if anybody is looking to unload...

    A couple of wiring device questions

    Preface: I am building a charging kit that contains a long, low gauge extension cord that can be used with various NEMA plugs. For example, I can connect it to a 14-50 to make a 14-50 extension cord, or a 6-20 to make it a 6-20 extension cord. I will be keeping all of these NEMA connectors with...

    Lost Keys at West Springfield Supercharger

    Around 10pm on August 4, I charged at West Springfield and walked my dog around the charger area and nearby grass. At some point, a black clip with 6-8 keys on it was lost. I think my dog knocked it onto the asphalt when he got out of the car, but it may be elsewhere in the vicinity. I can tell...

    How to set right-side steering wheel scroll button preset for Pano Roof?

    I have the push-in position of the right scroll wheel on my steering wheel set to control the pano roof. When I push it once, it opens the pano roof to 12% (vent). When I push it again it closes the pano roof. Is there a way to alter the preset so that when I push it the first time, it opens it...

    Has anybody used Darling's Nissan (Bangor, ME) CHAdeMO station? Charge rate?

    I'm trying to plan a trip from Boston to Baxter State Park. Major charge is needed at Darling's Nissan, overnight charging not an option (we have to get all the way up there in one day and arrive by 4pm to get our camp site). PlugShare comments are unclear about what to expect -- some good, some...

    Long shot: can anyone in Brooklyn by 5th Ave & Union provide charging Thursday night?

    I'm visiting a friend in Brooklyn around 5pm, leaving very early the next morning at 5am. Can't find any charging opportunities on Plugshare. Happy to cover your costs and then some in cash or in beer of your choice if possible.

    Anybody near Boston have standard sound in their Model S I could listen to?

    We have a Model S on order that will go into production soon. The one thing I am still on the fence about is the sound system. Many say the upgrade is only bass-related and not worth the price, but as someone who hugely appreciates good sound I would feel a lot better if I could hear the...

    Merge/Have Fewer Subforums

    I love TMC but I find the narrow scope of individual forums makes it hard to browse. If I want the latest on the Model S I have to click through to six different forums. And if I'm making a thread, many of the forums overlap with each other, leaving it unclear where that new thread belongs...

    Model S vs Model X for a Ski/Camping Trip Car

    My wife and I have an X reservation, however we are considering bailing on it to get an S85D. We were initially waiting for the X because we wanted AWD (no 85D at that time), but as more features got announced for the X, we got more generally excited about it. We use our car primarily for...

    Realistically, How Long Can We Expect a Model S to Last?

    My wife and I are considering a Tesla. A major part of my thinking is that EVs will far outlast their ICE equivalents, redefining the life expectancy of a car with fewer headaches along the way and with significant cost-savings over decades of ownership, even for those who buy the highest end...

    Autopilot, Adaptive Cruise Control and the Possibility of Retrofitting Existing Cars?

    My wife and I are very excited about the prospect of purchasing a Tesla. However, much of our driving consists of 160 mile highway trips between Boston and the White Mountains, and I often find myself fawning over having adaptive cruise control for that highway driving. I believe this would make...
