    Replace high voltage cables if coolant/oil on rear motor speed sensor?

    My 2015 S is going to be out of motor/battery warranty in the next few months. Made an appointment with local service center to inspect speed sensor in rear motor to check for coolant/oil (Which is a sign of a failing motor on the P and RWD cars.) I asked if they would replace the motor if...

    Anyone hitting the Allentown, PA supercharger this week?

    If so, would you mind checking on my ICE? It's the next aisle over. Blue Acura MDX SUV. Broke down on the way to Dorney (Wife needed to take more kids than the S could hold) and of course, it died on the turnpike. Think it blew a trans line. Not sure if I can get up there until this weekend...

    DR650GW-2CH Blackvue dashcam for sale

    I'm selling my used DR650GW-2CH dashcam. Has served me well but a group buy came along for a newer model and I had to jump. Unit comes with everything shown in photo. I am including a never used cigarette lighter power adapter, never used rear camera coax cable, as well as all of the...

    Cars and Coffee meet - somewhere around the Devon PA SC?

    I was at the Devon social this past weekend and I heard talk of a cars and coffee type event that some Tesla owners had planned for that day, so they instead moved it to the Devon social. I've never heard any talk on here of a C&C type event with Tesla owners. Anyone know anything about this?

    Where is my charge going?

    I've noticed if my car sits for a day or two that I lose (What I feel) is a fair amount of power from the pack. Wanted to see how normal this is. I know there are probably tons of other threads on this, but I couldn't find a good one through the hundreds that come up searching for a topic like...

    Has anyone removed the defrost vent closest to the windshield?

    I need to remove the vent. I had it in to service a few weeks ago for a few issues, and one was a rattle. Tech found it was the defrost vent. He put some foam or whatever on it and that resolved it. For a few weeks. It's back and I'd like to remove the vent and check things out. Even...

    Anyone removed the trim around the rear view mirror on an auto-pilot car yet?

    Just realized the other threads I had looked at for removing the trim around the rear view mirror were all pre-auto pilot cars. Anyone removed the trim from the mirror to hide wires and such on an auto-pilot car yet?

    Problem installing a Blackvue camera on a tinted rear hatch window?

    I see lots of people have done this in various threads, but wanted to make sure no one had any problems. My tint was done several months ago. Looks like we're just using two way tape and that's that. I assume I'll NEVER be able to take the rear camera off without ruining the tint. . . Any...

    Blackvue DR650 2 channel for $290 on Amazon

    Just wanted to give everyone a heads up if you're looking for the DR650. Found it on Amazon for $290. Also bought a SanDisk High Endurance 64GB card (As reviewers said the Blackvue was coming with an aftermarket card anyway.) $330 total, shipped. Road trip is coming up, so I'll be...

    Anyone live near Mt Sterling, KY?

    Trying to find a local near Mt Sterling, KY (Not far from Lexington, KY.) I'm staying at the Ramada Limited Mt Sterling next month. I'm told they have hook-ups for tractor trailers there, but can't get any more information or a picture from them. Was hoping someone might be familiar with...

    Tesla "intermittent" wipes are HORRIBLE! We need to be able to adjust in the UI

    Tesla - If you're listening, your wiper algorithms are the worst. I'm sorry. I love this car. I hate reading when people complain about little issues. But here's mine. Little as it may be, and I imagine very easily correctable by giving users some level of adjust ability in the UI...

    My USAA insurance is up by $100 every 6

    So my first renewal came up for my USAA auto insurance. It's up by about $100. I called USAA to find out more, since nothing has changed on my driving record, etc. They said it's simply based on what they're paying out to repair the car. Shocker there. $100 every six isn't too bad, but I'll...

    Plugging into a tractor trailer/bus hook-up

    I'm traveling to the Mt Sterling, KY area in a few months, and a hotel was picked for me (Part of a group.) I called the hotel and spoke with them to find out if they have any hook-ups outside I could use. They said they do, it's what the trucks and buses use. I didn't realize they used...

    Help me understand the right side steering wheel scroll wheel

    When I took deliver of my MS, the girl orienting me to the car mentioned something about the scroll wheel remembering the last thing you did when you press it. I didn't really get in to it then, but now I'm a little lost on this. I understand the scroll (When you actually scroll) will perform...

    If you're in the PA/NJ/NY/DE area and looking for a window tinter or vehicle wrapper

    Look no further. I've read various reviews from others about leeberbs. I had some wrap work done to my car as well as tint. Outstanding! So happy with the work! He also works with a detailer that can do paint correction and such before the wrap is done. These guys do a great job and I...

    Adjusting wiper sensitivity

    I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this, but have to ask anyway - is there any way to adjust the sensitivity of the wipes in their "auto" modes? I wish I had an old fashioned timed delay intermittent option. The MS and my previous Acura were horrible with the auto wipers. Was driving...

    1400 miles and my first flatbed/service experience

    So was out for most of Mother's Day. Stopped at a friend's house for a gathering and some individuals NEEDED a ride in the MS. Happy to oblige! They were beyond impressed. One girl said "mind blown!" Anyway, was heading home in the evening and had a friend in the car. Was doing some hot...

    Real-world comparison of my cost per mile - MS versus ICE

    So I finally got my energy monitoring system up and running. Had a very short errand to run today, probably didn't get above 35 miles per hour. Drove 3.6 miles. My MS was already full when I left. When I got home, plugged her back in. My monitoring system showed just about 40 amps was being...

    If you need your Model S wrapped or tinted. . .

    Reach out to Leeberbs. Many others on here have recommended him, and now I need to as well! His work is outstanding! Had the entire car wrapped and did a tint as well. He explained with the frameless windows, he oversizes the tint at the top, then uses a file or something (I forget) to get...

    What is a J3068 charger?

    So I stopped at the Newark, DE I-95 rest stop because I wanted to test out the supercharger (No longer an SC virgin - that was amazing!) Anyway, I met up with a friend with a BMW i3. Talk about being relegated to no man's land. The generic charges are in the middle of the truck area. Sucks...

    My first visit to a supercharger

    Wow! That was SOOOO cool! Stopped at the Newark, DE rest stop because I just wanted to try the supercharger. That was amazing! Can't believe the power behind these things! Here's a screen shot and that wasn't even where it peaked! In love! :love:

    How do we STILL have a huge hole in PA and NY?

    I can't believe I still can't (easily) get to Rochester. We either go up to Binghamton via 476 and 81 and then follow 17/86 to 15, or, more recently, take 476 to 80 then up 15. This is a HUGE hole! I've been hearing for over a year there would something to cover Binghamton, or Willamsport, or...

    4 days and 235 miles in to my P85D and - 12V charge low, car may shut down

    So the 12v battery issues continue to plague these cars. I jumped in it tonight to show it off to a friend (Great timing) and had this error on my dash. I was in the process of buckling up, and by the time I did, the error cleared. Started normal, drove normal, etc. Hung at his place a bit...

    Can we see/hear/stream today's press conference?

    Anyone hear if we can see or hear the press conference today? Sounds like this is a "dial-in" phone conference for reporters from what I'm finding. Not much info out there. Hope that's not a bad sign!

    DCU is only giving me 50% of the loan I asked for since I never borrowed this much

    Reached out to Digital Credit Union this week for a loan on the P85D. I was originally going to go with Energy Credit Union, but since they now will only loan up to $70k, I didn't want to tie up ~$50k in the car. Credit score is almost 800, and income is a non-issue. They came back and...

    If you financed a Tesla in PA - were you able to roll the sales tax into the loan?

    Just received my "welcome" email from my DS today and he mentioned about PA being a self-registration state where you have to go to the tag store and register there and pay your taxes. I'm planning to finance as much of the purchase price as I can since rates are so low. I always include the...

    Opti-guard for Leather - worth it?

    I've seen one or two people mention Opti-Guard for their leather, otherwise I didn't even know this existed. Worth it? I'm going to have the grey leather, so I want to do whatever is necessary to keep them clean. At the same time, I have no problem applying the correct products annually to...

    Deposit placed today, site says deliver late March - email confirmation says late Feb

    Here's an odd one. I placed my deposit today (YAH!) for my P85D. Design studio says late March, when I placed the deposit, the delivery location and timing said late March. Received my order confirmation email and it says late February. Has to be a mistake. I did NOT confirm yet, so two...

    Does anyone in the (general) Philly area have grey seats and black headliner?

    I'm close to pulling the trigger on this color combo, but since the black headliner is relatively new (Or so I'm told), I've not been able to find a car that has this combo (And my girl at the local Tesla SC is checking the service bays each morning!) Anyone have this combo and willing to let...

    Next-gen REAR seats no longer available for new orders, please post feedback on yours

    Anyone else notice the Design Studio no longer has next gen rear seats? Maybe this is in another thread (Buried deep about the next gen seats), but I can't find it. Was playing with the design studio today and when you switch to next gen seats, the rears don't change. I was in a MS last week...

    Questions about business lease/purchase of MS - how do big businesses do it?

    So not to beat a dead horse, but wondering if anyone has some insight on a slightly different topic. First off, I'm a small business owner. I've never leased a vehicle because, well - this will be my first vehicle I purchase while owning my own business. But I've never done it personally...

    Check my math - guaranteed value and TCO

    First post, been lurking for a while. Trying to make the numbers work to pull the trigger on a P85d! Anyway, been looking at TCO for a P85d over four years and eight years (I keep cars for a good while, but also not sure I'd keep a Tesla for eight years - would probably need to upgrade!) Then...
