    $175 "diagnosis fee" on warranty work?

    "then you could have irate customers making manufacturers jump through hoop after hoop to prove the owner is crazy. There would be no end to it for some people. Warranties only cover warranteed items, not anything the owner thinks should be or might be a warranteed item" As best I can tell that...

    $175 "diagnosis fee" on warranty work?

    To be more clear - it was $175 PER issue for those 2 issues. I figured I'll just talk to the guy at the shop instead of the national line when I bring it in. Save everybody time.

    $175 "diagnosis fee" on warranty work?

    Yea - Id appreciate that for the engine whine if it required disassembly and major hours to diagnose, but my understanding is they just have a noise threshold. In that scenario I was like "well fine, I'll just wait until it breaks and you have to replace the whole thing anyway"

    $175 "diagnosis fee" on warranty work?

    Just called up as my P85+ is about 6 months and 2500 miles from being out of the factory warranty. I was informed for the notorious drive unit whine and the rear tail lights harvesting rain water issue (which I had already had addressed once @ 15k miles) that they were charging $175 fee to...

    VIN for Teslas encode "model year" or "year of manufacture"?

    I have a p85+ with autopilot that has a 2014 vin and a mid 2015 build date.

    Change out Piano Black for Carbon Fiber trim

    Btw I did that video after tesla in Dallas told me they wouldn't do it. Not too much drama.

    Anyone try Hankook Ventus V12 in 275/30/21 yet on P85+ rear?

    FYI - tire rack called me and cancelled my order for these saying they didn't have the correct load rating (besides being a 275/35 vs a 265/30).

    Swapping Dash Trim (Video)

    FrederikC - thanks for making that! For me it was mostly things like "how many screws" or "what exactly is the padded panel under the steering wheel?" I think a few dozen more pictures would have helped me have more confidence on "am I about to break this or are we good?" :) But hopefully...

    Swapping Dash Trim (Video)

    No problem - glad you guys enjoyed it. The "after" pic would be OEM - because it looks that way as you would expect (unless I ended up with a few extra screws :))

    Swapping Dash Trim (Video)

    FYI - I had a chance to buy an OEM carbon fiber dash trim kit to swap out with the piano black trim in my 2015 S. I followed the directions here: How to add a Carbon Fiber Interior Trim to the Model S - TESLARATI.com The directions were very useful but I found a few spots where I had...

    OEM Piano Black Dash Trim - $299 - No Longer Available

    OEM Piano Black Dash Trim - $299 Swapped out the piano black trim in my Mar 2015 build Model S for carbon fiber. Took me about an hour following the directions on Teslarati. Trim is in great shape. List Date: 1/30/2016 For more info, click here to view the original listing: OEM Piano...

    Comparing the older P85+ and the new 85D

    I think it has to do with how vins are assigned before the car is built.

    P85D sold for $87k

    I'm pretty sure tesla sold a batch of inventory cars to this dealer in December at a great discount for sales goals. I just took possession of a p85+ with autopilot that they listed a few days before Christmas that was similarly underpriced.

    Texas Direct Auto

    They def do have a printed manual unless it's semantics around the owners guide and quick reference.

    Comparing the older P85+ and the new 85D

    FYI - I just took delivery of my P85+ with a march 2015 build date and 53xxx vin referenced earlier in the thread to close that loop.

    Texas Direct Auto

    I just took delivery on a 2014 P85+ with 11k miles and autopilot that I got on ebay. I'm in Dallas so I had them ship it up here (they have an Irving trade evaluation location), and they gave me a very fair trade value on my S60 with 40k miles. It came with 1 key, no manual, but did have floor...

    Running non staggered on P85+?

    Thanks everybody!

    Comparing the older P85+ and the new 85D

    On my 2013 S60 in the states if I open the drivers door it is at the very bottom right on a sticker. The date is in the top left of the sticker in the format "4/13" - which matches what is on the build sheet in the top left.

    Comparing the older P85+ and the new 85D

    The build sheet specifically says March 2015 date of manufacture in the top left corner. The VIN decodes as a 2014 car by autotrader for example. Probably something with the way they assign VIN's, etc.

    Comparing the older P85+ and the new 85D

    Yep. The car posted last night, I contacted them, drove over this morning to their Dallas store and got a trade in quote. I had in mind what I could sell it for privately (it has cloth seats and 40k miles, so thinking upper $40's, maybe $51k on a good day) - and they actually/shockingly hit my...

    Comparing the older P85+ and the new 85D

    Thanks! Yea - I have had an S60 for a while now, and have been eyeing an autopilot 85. Since Tesla can't distribute in Texas directly, they dump inventory cars at a few shops in the major metros. It looks like to hit their sales #'s with the delayed X ramp they just sent a dozen to Houston...

    Running non staggered on P85+?

    So - after reading through the threads - is running non staggered rims (so you can rotate them, etc) not doable on a P85+, or simply not recommended? Has anyone done this? Thanks- Thomas

    Comparing the older P85+ and the new 85D

    I literally just put a deposit down on a 2014 P85+ with a 53x VIN. It has autopilot, and the build sheet says it was a March 2015 build!! (it has things like the alcantara wrapped center post on the pano roof)

    Effect of Model X on Model S CPO prices & Inventory

    Near term it will probably eat up CPO inventory, as people on the fence waiting to hear about the X will have the info they need and will stop delaying their purchase. I think Elon said as much - that model S sales jumped after the X announcement. At any rate, I would think it would be at...
