    Colorado- what happens if I buy an EV but don't owe enough in taxes to get the full credit's value?

    I'm crazy and actually thinking I might buy two EVs this year. So that's $15,000 federal and $10,000 state tax credits I'd be due. But I don't owe that much in taxes each year.... so I'm worried I'd be losing lots of money doing this. Do either of them roll-over to the next year, or provide...

    Is there ANY way to order a Textile car with a wood trim? I can't stand the shiny black.

    I'm ready to order another Model S, but really miffed they grouped the interior trim options and with textile, they are only showing it packaged with the high-gloss black trim. Has anyone had any luck with maybe a special order or something and getting wood trim with textile seats? Thanks.

    Is there a product to seal chrome from Mag Chloride corrosion? (not Model S specific)

    Living in Colorado, I've struggled with this my entire life. There's got to be a good product I can apply to my bright work to prevent this. It's just not realistic to simply plan to wash it off after every drive.

    Are there any aftermarket suspension options for my 2015 85D w/coil? I can't stand the rough ride

    I've had the car in for service maybe 7-8 times for the suspension. It bounces our noggins like bobbleheads, churns our stomachs, and throws us around. Tesla days it's normal and fine. Is there an aftermarket suspension or shock setup that could provide a smoother, softer, more compliant...

    2015 COIL suspension Model S with problem, can anyone help? SC can't.

    Hi there. I've got a 2015 Model S 85D AWD with the coil spring suspension. It's got problems since the car was new and I've had the service center drive it a few times and they don't think there's a problem. But everyone I bring into the car who doesn't wear a Tesla shirt agrees it's messed...

    Supercharger - Walsenburg, CO

    This is up on Tesla's site. Does anyone have any info or ETA yet? I'm hoping to do a Fall Break trip from Denver to Albuquerque with a stop at the Sand Dunes, and this would save me backtracking to and from Trinidad twice... In fact, I'm not even sure my 85D can make it from the Trinidad SC...

    Replace worn PRND buttons (2.0/2.5) ?

    I think I posted about this last year, my gear shift buttons are showing some wear. I was wondering if anyone's had them replaced with new? (And the cost associated with that) - also wondering if I got the parts if this was a possible DIY job? I'm hoping someone here maybe has taken this...

    Does the door handle retract on anyone else when you try to open the door?

    This happens to me when opening the rear doors frequently, as often as a few times per day. At least 50% of the time. I've had the car in for this issue since the car was new, and it's been on the list every time I bring the car in so they've had it many times but always say that they cannot...

    2015 85D - being quoted $1300 to replace the tires from SC ?!

    At 18k my tires are at the end of their life, and need replacement. I'm being quoted a number that seems to be 60% higher than I've seen others pay. What have you guys paid to replace tires on a D base model?

    What would cause date/time to stop working?

    Since I had my big service (and PEM repair) this summer, my date and time aren't working. They are frozen at Jan 1 1970 and the clock isn't progressing forward in time either (I can adjust the time but it never changes from where I set it). Any idea what would cause this problem?

    What's the best CORPORATE email to use for problems?

    "Steering Assist Reduced"

    Drove the car for ten minutes, parked, and then got this error. There was no power steering at all, so it was incredibly difficult to drive at low speeds/from a start. The parking sensors also didn't work. Was told to power cycle the car for five minutes, that didn't help. I suspect this is...

    Does Tesla Motors have central parts database?

    Unfortunately, I've had a few times in my 1.5 years of owning two Teslas where parts were needed, and sometimes they took quite a while to locate and arrive. It's been something I seem to notice when reading the forums, too. And after speaking with a Tesla-certified body shop and maybe a dozen...

    Brought car in for annual, had fan/blower cleaned, it stopped running, overheated and now PEM dead

    I'm just livid right now. I had the Roadster in for a $1,000+ annual service last month and had them clean the PEM fan, flush coolant, everything they recommended and more. I've driven the car only a few times, and the other day I drove one mile and got a warning that the car was overheating...

    Fan when charging twice as loud after annual service

    My first thought was that they cleaned the fan so it's pulling more air .. but wanted to check and see if this is normal. It's crazy loud, like I can hear it in my house through two walls loud. Same sound, like a loud fan, just twice as loud as before. Should I be concerned? This is charging...

    What wheel lugs does the Roadster use?

    My Roadster has been in the service center all week for it's annual service, and I got a call last night that I had forgotten to provide them the wheel lock key! So I'm running down there Tuesday morning with that. My previous cars with locks, the dealers always had the keys and never needed...

    I posted a few months ago that my sill was defective, it's gone all bumpy and looks and feels terrible. I'd love to replace it, and can't afford the Carbon Fiber right now. Does anyone have the plain black plastic door sill lying around that they could part with? Thanks.

    12v dead? Can't start car.

    Typing this as I walk to my daughter's preschool to pick her up, as the Roadster wouldn't start just now. A few hours ago I sat in the garage and played a CD for a few minutes, the battery was fully charged. I opened the door and turned the key and the gear lights went on but nothing else...

    Anyone interested in trading R/C Roadsters? I've got red w/ Black interior

    Mine is brand new in a sealed box. I know many of them have the tan interior - not sure if any of them were blue. But I'd love to trade for a tan interior if someone wants to trade (if you have a black interior and want to match your car more closely, as I'm trying to do). Yes this is a...

    Is there a tech who's like a Roadster guru at the Denver Service Center?

    I'm going to be scheduling my Roadster's annual shortly and have a healthy list of things I want looked at. I need someone who's very familiar with this model and has been working on them for awhile. Does anyone know of a specific tech in the Denver Service Center I should request? Thanks!

    Again, Colorado trying to avoid paying EV credit. This demand is beyond reasonable.

    I filed my taxes in February, and they say it'll be processed within 2-6 weeks. 8 weeks later, they sent a demand letter for "more documentation." Specifically: Innovative Motor Vehicle Credit - A copy of the vehicle history report (such as one available from CarFax) for used vehicle. They...

    Quick urgent question about charging rate

    My car's fully-charged rated miles is exactly what I need to use tonight for a book signing (Nick Offerman!) so I'm thinking I'll leave early, plug it in somewhere and eat dinner for an hour. I've never charged my Roadster in the wild before, and I have the Tesla-branded J1772 adapter. How...

    It feels like suddenly, the EV future is really here.

    I own a Model S and a Roadster, waited in sub-freezing temperatures for many hours this morning to reserve my Model 3, and before these I owned hybrid vehicles and other EVs, so I've been into this for quite some time and am passionate about this being our future. I loved than Elon started...

    Is there a link I can use to see all posts (or just new posts) in m favorite forums?

    I used to click "Subscribed Forums" (or something similar) on the old VBB site and it would show a list of threads compiled from my subscribed forums, altogether. So I had the Model S forum, the Roadster forum, and it would show me all threads in those forums. I can't figure out how to do that...

    Colorado - has anyone bought 2 EV/hybrid the same year? Unsure about filing tax form

    I'm using Turbotax and easily got one vehicle loaded up in form DR 0617. But I can't for the life of me figure out how to add another vehicle, or a 2nd copy of the form or anything like that. First world problems, I know. But I have two vehicles I purchased in 2015 that qualify for the credit...

    A real pain removing J1772 adapter from Model S.

    I charge from a J1772 charging station at home and noticed that in the last few months it's gotten to be a real bear to remove the charger from the car. I don't know if something changing with the new software version, or if it's my port hardware, but it used to be much easier. Now, I'll...

    Car really bouncy after service visit - what could cause this?

    My tire pressures say 46 all around (coil suspension, 19" base wheels, it says 50 on the door so 46 is pretty close). Since I got my car back from service the other day I feel every rut in the road, and I feel like I'm being jiggled to death. It's really bouncy - not sure how else to describe...

    2.0+2.5 owners - P D R buttons wearing off a bit?

    Car's electronics (touchscreen, radio, normal sounds like turn signals) going HAYWIRE

    3 quick questions - audible/felt thunk with regen brakes, and 2 more

    Two quick questions from a new Roadster owner. 1) There's a pretty strong thump when you take your foot off the accelerator pedal, when I assume it's switching to regen braking. Going very slowly, under 10 mph, if I pull my foot it's really noticeable. I can hear it and feel it too. I've got...

    AutoPilot gets closer to cars as you drive by them?

    Scenario - You're in the left-most lane, cruising along. The car drives a bit to the right of the center of the lane (the opposite of how I drive, I get a bit closer to the left of the lane). But as I approach a vehicle who is in the middle lane (just to the right of my lane) the car...

    Glad I didn't have a hardtop today.

    I've had the car a few weeks and with the ever-changing weather in the Mile High city, I haven't taken the soft top off yet. Well, today (November!) was 75 degrees, so I pulled over, rolled it up and placed it in the trunk. What a change. Open air driving was fantastic. And getting in and...

    How many days does it take to get used entering and exiting a Roadster? Ten days. It's finally not feeling like an awkward, uncomfortable, hilarious event I hope people aren't secretly filming and putting online :biggrin:

    Where are you storing things in the Roadster cabin? Sunglasses clip?

    I've had the car for a week or two and am struggling with the lack of places to put anything. What are you folks doing? I have my glasses case, mail keys, chapstick, that sort of essential stuff. The glove box seems able to store exactly 2 latex gloves if they're folded properly ;)

    Bumpy sill cover?

    On the driver's side, the black plastic sill cover is bumpy towards the rear of the panel. It's almost like it has pebbled beneath the surface or something. My guess is there's a thin layer of foam beneath the hard plastic surface that's pilled up. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm sure...

    Slacker - I miss the DJ's on the DNA channels you get on mobile devices

    I listen to Beatles DNA channel on Slacker a ton and I realize that I really miss the little intros inserted before songs when listening in the Tesla. They aren't there at all. Is there a way to turn those on?
