    Accept or Reject?

    I’m conflicted. What do you all think about this issues on my car? Would you accept delivery of this? Otherwise the panel gaps are even, the panels are flush with each other (mostly/close enough), seals looks good. So overall the car is in good shape, but it may take some work to correct these...

    NC Commissioner restrictions on Tesla Charlotte

    Folks, sadly NC continues to put up roadblocks and hurdles to Tesla and their way of doing business. Already we had the issue that Tesla Charlotte being unable actually sell cars. You could check out a car in the showroom, take a drive in one in a lifestyle/showcase experience, and work with...

    USB cuts out when connectivity changes

    I am on 8.1 / 17.24.28 and found an interesting oddity while exploring Pisgah National Forest this past weekend. As we drove into the mountain, I knew the signal would eventually cut out. Sure enough, LTE went to 3G, 3G went to Edge, Edge went to no connectivity. This wasn't a big deal as I was...

    Buffy, err Cyclone, The Tesla Slayer

    A bit of humor to cheer your day... Some of the area owners consider me a Tesla Slayer now given my recent track record with loaners. Back in late November, my car went in for service and I got a loaner with 21" wheels. Well, at 6 pm after work was finished, I go to leave and the loaner has a...

    Model S and X AutoPilot Fleet Learning during Emergencies

    I do not have insider knowledge about this, but I wonder if we could make some educated guesses. How does Tesla's "Fleet Learning" process handle areas in a State of Emergency? I know the fleet learning combs through multiple instances from multiple vehicles and smooths out over time, but I...

    Model + Battery Abbreviations

    Now that we have Xs being delivered and spotted on the road, we should determine how we are abbreviate our cars. Thus far, I've called mine an S85 for "non-Performance, 85 kWh, RWD". Now, the 40s, 60s, and 85s are easy, but what happens for the 70 and 90? Do we say S90D for "Model S...

    NEMA 14-50 install advice

    I almost revived this old thread, but went ahead and started a new one and could always ask a mod to collapse it in there if its better served there given the info in that thread. Wire Gauge Size for 50 Amps I am finally getting around to having a 14-50 added in the garage so I can get off...

    West Palm Beach Service Center rocks!!

    I just wanted to share a big old thank you to the crew at the West Palm Beach Service Center. I was driving down today and stopped by for a charge at the Supercharger and had a concern. Walked in just to ask about it and the crew jumped to make sure everything was ok. They checked out the car...

    Hatch falls shut while opening

    Over the past two weeks, about 5 or 6 times me hatch has started to open for one second, the shuts and beeps at me. Trying to open it again works successfully. Most of the times I was in the car and selected the hatch to open from the 17". When I get to work, I back into a charging space and pop...

    Charlotte to Chicago Road Trip

    Well, my family has still not nailed down things so I can get a plane ticket to Chicago in early October, so I'm starting to look at planning for driving the Model S there. The added benefit is I would have my own car there versus taking cabs, but then I also have to think about parking. A...

    My CPO (and disappointments) Experience

    Seeing as some users may not read the 150+ page CPO thread, I thought I would break out some recent experiences into its own thread. Overall, I have hit some bumps in the process of getting my CPO car and while not any individual item screamed from the top of the mountain "Danger Will Robinson"...

    Anyone have an idea on where I can get a GAP policy? I was not told this at the beginning of the process, but when they were processing my paperwork for the GAP coverage, they found this little tidbit...

    Any Model X Reservations around Charlotte, NC?

    Debated posting in the SE Forum or on here, and figured maybe a Model X reservation holder may not already own a Tesla and not be looking in the SE Forum. That said, mods please feel free to move the thread if you feel it is more appropriate there. Today the Charlotte Tesla Owners group met for...

    S85 Classic vs. P85 Autopilot Comparison

    Recently, I got a CPO S85 that I am absolutely loving. At pickup, there were a few due bill items to address. My car has been dropped off today at the Service Center to take care of these this week, and I've been provided a loan P85 w/ Autopilot. I thought I would share some notes on the...

    With this last round of Design Studio changes, the standard headliner has been removed as an option altogether. Now you get white alcantara for free, for you upgrade to Premium Interior to unlock black alcantara. First noticed (that I can find) by @Fanatic here: Turbine wheels now mandatory...

    Knocking sound from power liftgate

    Just got my car a few days ago, so I don't know if this sound is normal or unusual. Does your power liftgate sound like this when opening or closing? https://m.flickr.com/#/photos/133370919@N08/17261353073/

    Spending time at your local Store and/or Service Center

    I think I'm pretty sure I got a bad case of the Teslies LOL! Since ordering my CPO, I've been to my local Store and Service Center 5 times. Three of those times were simple, one hour visits to ask questions about my car and general Tesla questions. The fourth was an "Owner's VIP Grand Opening"...

    Road Trip to Buy a Tesla?

    For those who may not be following the CPO Live thread, it had been made to U.S. buyers that there is a $500 (same region, different city), $1,000 (adjoining regions), or $1,500 (distant region) transport fee. Not unheard of, but sad we are being told this days AFTER putting out deposit in. In...

    21" Turbine wheels available across the line in the Design Studio again

    Seems like along with bringing back the Solid White paint to the Design Studio on 4/15/2015, Tesla now let's you select the 21" Silver Turbine wheels for any Model S again. Once could get whiplash from looking left, then right, at all these changes. Reminds me of the football scene from Bedknobs...
