Some of you know i've had my fair share of issues with this thing but this one takes the cake: I am on a work trip and took the wife's SUV. left her with the model S for the week. First day, she goes to get in and drive and the car gives her a parking brake failure, the car is stuck in neutral...

Color me shocked (i think i said i would be in a previous thread) I got a call from Tesla service sending a RANGER to my 150k out of warranty, rooted, 2013 S to do the steering bolts and takata airbags. I've never had a ranger work on my car before. Coincidentally my IC started bubbling again...

Replaced two rear tires yesterday at Discount, drove home with no issues or errors. Went to the store this morning, no issues or errors, parked the car. Came back to the car and turn it on to "Parking Brake Needs Service" and "Car may be free rolling" and "stability control disabled". Car...

Wow, they finally did it. Sorry if this is a repost, color me completely shocked...

I've been chasing down a wobble between 65-78 MPH for over a year. I always thought it was just my tires wearing down, as it always got worse over time AFTER a fresh tire change. Turns out I was out of torque spec by ~15 ft/lb PER LUG ON EVERY WHEEL. Check your torques friend-o's

Disclaimer: I am rooted, I never let Tesla service my car anymore. I haven't paid tesla to do anything in a long time, infact I haven't seen them in so long that the "my account" section is "new" to me. I, for the first time ever, lost track of time and left my car idling at a charger for a...

Hi all, Had a frayed wire for the opening switch, replaced the harness with a donor handle. everything works great. Reinstalled the handle and went to test the door, and the handle will not present on its own (unlock all doors, press to unlock, etc). It will present with the door wire is...

I've noticed two LEDs in my rear passenger trunk mounted light have burned out. Is it possible to replace the burn outs or do I need to order an entire new piece?

I am going to do this very soon and I wanted to know if I can actually reuse the snap rings? The service manual says DONT... but much like axle nuts and other things that people have gotten away with re-using since the beginning of time when repairing their vehicles... do we think I can get away...

Hi all, Potentially moving to Seattle for work soon. I hear traffic is super bad from everyone I talk to, but no one has insights on EV ownership in that regard. If I'm working in bellvue, how bad will my life be living on Bainbridge, or any of the properties west of the sound. What about east...

Telsa is a pain about vehicle history. Perhaps if we had a way for members to register their VIN (all opt-in and voluntary of course), it would help new potential owners conduct proper research on their vehicle. I am aware this idea is littered with all kinds of holes and exceptions... but...

For those of you who have access to root, or the ability to query your CID, OR next time you are in for service and ask to see the Tegra CPU/Board temp for yourself.... would you please add to this thread: Your board temp (tegra) Your CPU temp (tegra) Drive time, or MCU alive time Ambient temp...

After my accident, I asked the body shop to please save all the parts. They returned to me: right passenger door handle assy WITHOUT chrome handle (gen1) right rear pass handle assy WITHOUT chrome handle. (gen2, literally replaced by tesla one week before my accident) right rear quarter panel...

Anyone else ever have an issue (on v8) where the mute button during a phone call wont mute? I can't use the scroll wheels to mute, but can end a call and place a call on hold. When using the touch screen to mute the phone, the mute button turns blue and displays "unmute" (as if it was...

Looking to buy next gen seats from the rails up. Black in color please :) PM me with your price.

I've read the horror stories here, but I admit, I didn't think it'd happen to me. I've been contemplating a new Model S / X for a month or two now, and I wanted to see if Tesla would make the process smooth by giving me at least a fair amount on my trade in Model S.... boy was I wrong. I got my...

Two anecdotal pieces of evidence to suggest this: 1.) A member on the forum mentioned he bought the upgrade and got a new MCU, which was missing the bubbles from his old MCU 2.) I am trying to get a goodwill replacement of my screen. They asked "is it 3G or LTE" so they know which replacement...

My g/f and I got into a discussion last night about what it takes to drive the S. She is mostly afraid of wrecking it, and won't drive it herself for a multitude of reasons. She also said "would you let your 16 year old drive it?", which is a hypothetical because I'm 28 and have no kids... but I...

My brakes have been screeching lately as I come to a complete stop. I had first attributed this to low use (as many others experience on the forums), but today as I was rolling into my work parking lot I heard a steady metal on metal sound, reminiscent of.... worn brakes! 1.) Can I do this...

Saw some bubbles on my touchscreen last week. They've been multiplying since, decided to contact the service center. I was told via email that it's the adhesive melting, and it will require a replacement of the assy. I wasn't quoted a price, and I am out of warranty. I'm going to try to get a...

My car doesn't have AP, but a co-worker's car does... did an interesting test this afternoon: Going down the highway at around 65 MPH, the AP wanted to exit at every potential exit, when driving in the right lane (not exit exclusive one). A gentle touch of the steering wheel kept it on the...

Hey all, Going to do the first of many trips into the mountains in Kern County, CA for the fall. Its great biking and hiking, and the cabin we stay at is superb. Friends suggest we try the Model S this time. I'm stoked! However, on the final stretch (the private road up to the cabin) of the...

The only things I feel like I'm missing out on are my HID headlights and fog lights w/o the tech package. I have access to "Insurance quality" salvage yard parts and have seen numerous come across my screen, so the question is: Can I get headlights off another Tesla and plug em in? Can I get...

I have 62K miles on my 2013 that I bought used from a private party at 58k. I drive pretty conservatively, I like to play the battery game, and see how much energy I can save when driving. Now that I'm in a routine, charge -> work -> home -> charge, I've been noticing that my battery and trip...

I never thought this to be bad until the car attempted to shut down via "Pull over safely" message: Sometimes, when I'm on a small incline at a stop light, I will let the car roll back and forth out of boredom (much like with a manual ICE, engaging the clutch to move forward and disengaging to...

I found a thread with some calculations in it, on how this might be possible with 21" wheels and maybe not for 19"... but does anyone know if you can use "Very High" to somehow get the car on jackstands. The little baby jackpoint makes me nervous, and I can't stomach 300 bucks for special...

Hey all, After the recent update to my older base S85 (non tech, non sound), I feel like I've lost a lot of punch and depth from my entire system. I first noticed when I was on the freeway, I turn up to a fairly high volume to hear at least the rhythm of the music, but it just wasn't doin it...

I really wasn't sure what to search on the forums but I did poke around a bit and didn't find anything... please link me if there's a similar thread: The past two mornings, I unhook from my charger, turn the car on, foot on brake, go from park to drive. I press the accelerator slightly and I...

About a month ago, I purchased a private party used S85 VIN: 6701. It doesn't have a tech package or sound studio, but I still love the **** out of this car. I had the rear clunk and decided to take it in for warranty work, should take 1 day. To my surprise, I had a P85D loaner waiting for me...

Hey all, G/f and I are looking for fun weekend trips that I can use the Tesla for. We're stoked that it can fit a twin bed, and thus we plan on sleeping in the car wherever we end up. We've done Joshua Tree, and I've done Kern River and Mojave as well as various "off the map" MTB trips. Any...

First I'll say that I bought this house with a 7 year plan. This is not a forever home, it's simply to park cash and buying power and invest in myself with property. That's important because, I'm not trying to be cheap, I just feel sinking 3-4k+ into specialty electrical work adds no value to...

Hi all! I bought my first new (used) Model S 85 this weekend. I have bought and sold many cars and I have never felt more satisfied with the MS85 purchase... its incredible. I LOVE this car. Someone will have to pry it from my cold dead hands if they want me to ever drive something else :love...
