We live in south Superior. We were evacuated yesterday around 2pm and have been in Denver hotels for the past couple of nights. Fingers crossed our home was spared, but we know a few neighbors who've confirmed everything was lost.

Ugh.. Assume you have a leased car, and you have agreed to return it in good shape. Two weeks before turn-in, it gets damaged, so in good faith you attempt to repair it. The repair shop says that Tesla will cause a delay of two months to get parts. Tesla offers to extend your lease for two...

Although I posted in the hope of acquiring some insight on how to proceed, the tone in the replies has (surprisingly) been pretty adversarial. I don't intend to come off as self-righteous or entitled, so I apologize if that's how my OP was taken. I really am sincerely looking for advice; if...

I returned my Model S yesterday after a 3 yr lease (and picked up my 4th Tesla!). This is the first time I've had to return a vehicle with damage, and I expected to be charged for some repairs, but the situation has turned out to be quite upsetting for several reasons; here is a list of the...

My garage is temporarily unavailable, so I had to park outside last night here in Colorado. Woke up at 7am (still dark!) and preheated the car, only to come out to find a massive (2 ft long) crack in the windshield. There was nothing wrong with it last night when we parked. So now I suppose...

Yeah, I picked it up last Saturday and the map looks very different so I guess it updated. The Denver SC contact said that the problem was that the car just needed wifi. So they gave it wifi and downloaded all the pending updates and rebooted and it was g2g. He didn't mention a new MCU and I...

Sorry if I wasn't clear about "it died." More details: Neither screen would come on. Reboot attempt had no effect. Door handle lights and interior lights did illuminate. Strangely, if I tried 20-30 times to put the car into drive, it would eventually go into drive and operate (this is how I...

Well, I had a Model S for 3 years and the lease ended, so I got another one on Sep 3rd 2018. This new Model S is now 4 months old and had 75% charge when it suddenly just died: neither screen would come on. It was towed away by Tesla Roadside (which is another long frustrating story, but I'll...

I didn't say it because I overlooked that advice (or I saw it and didn't understand what people meant). Your latest explanation is very clear and even a 4th grader (or, in my case, a full-grown adult) could understand what you're saying: there is a separate Bluetooth volume on my phone that...

In my situation: The phone is showing that the book is playing (the timer is advancing) and the Model S display is showing the book title and current chapter. If I press the PAUSE symbol on the phone, the car display reacts and switches to a PLAY symbol. Similarly, if I press PLAY or PAUSE on...

I was saying it was "known" because of other threads reporting the same problem. For example, Bluetooth audio - sometimes no sound

Hi Need. Yes, I did an MCU reset and nothing changed. I may just have a lemon... brand new car.

I decided to take your advice here... I downloaded everything to my phone and then connected to the car via bluetooth. It doesn't work either: the car shows that the song is playing (from YouTube or from Audible on my phone) but no sound comes out. This is apparently a known bug, but it means...

I just got a new Model S last week and this USB bug is not only there, but it seems to actually be WORSE now. I'm trying to listen to audiobooks now, and the ones I have on USB are unusable in the car... even a 5 min stop will lose my place and I'm tired of writing down where I was on paper...

Guess what guys? I just got a new Tesla last week... and this issue with USB playback is... EVEN WORSE! Yup, now it not only loses your place, but will sometimes switch to Radio instead of USB. And if you had the volume up on the USB playback, the Radio will make your ears bleed until you...

When I got my Tesla 2.5 years ago, the most frustrating bug, by far, was that listening to USB audio books and podcasts was nearly impossible because the car's player would not keep its position after power off. In fact, sometimes it resets to the beginning of the podcast while I'm driving. I...

That option was (and still is) turned ON. I don't know what it is... could it drain 70,000 watt hours in 2 days?

I don't recall ever turning this feature on, but it was on when I checked this morning. I turned it off. But I have a hard time believing that direct sunlight (at the low angle you get in the winter) with overcast skies and a 19F high could induce enough warmth to engage the A/C. I have zero...

Just checked. Smart Preconditioning was off. Energy Saving mode was on. Cabin overheat was on. Temps were in the 10-20F range most of the two days where I went from 220mi range to 40mi range. There really needs to be a button or setting for Teslas that put it into "long term sleep" mode or...

Well, I am home. Landed last night around 12:30am and the car showed that snowflake icon on the battery display (Donner Summit Mode?). When I got to the car, the display immediately said, "Very Low Battery" which I'd never seen before. It showed 26mi of range remaining and it was 21F outside...

I don't know if I have Smart Preconditioning, weekend mode, be-nice-and-don't-strand-me mode, or whatever. I really have expected (hoped?) that Telsa's default configuration would not be to drain from 220mi to 40mi in two days. I charged all the way to 268mi (maxed out battery) knowing that it...

Yes, but I'm thinking of getting a Ludicrous P100D for my next car. I know it's a stupid waste of money, but.... OMG

Thank you so much! I will DEFINITELY take you up on this if I start to get very low. But 39mi is ok for now. :)

This is the 4th time I've had a problem. I also have other problems with my car that Tesla has been unable to fix (such as the driver assist hardware intermittently failing) which may be related somehow. It was 40mi remaining yesterday and now it's 39mi. So if that's the new rate of vamp...

I don't know what "settings" I have turned on. It's whatever the factory defaults are... maybe I have the "drain 80kwh per day for no reason" box checked!? It's definitely not a matter of my checking too often... today when I saw only 40kwh remaining was the first time I'd checked it since...

I've found a few threads on this scattered around the Internet, but not good solution. On Christmas day (less than 72 hours ago) I parked my Model S at DIA (Denver Int'l Airport) in cold weather... about 25F. Knowing the car's batter would discharge while I was away, I did a range charge at...

I thought this would be a sticky, but it's not. And I should know the answers after 1+ years of ownership, but I don't. Here's the kind of charging that I have done: 120V at home (about 4 mi/hr of charging) 240V at home (about 40 mi/hr of charging) Superchargers (about 150-200 mi/hr of...

I don't understand the vampiric loss, especially as compared to other EVs, but now that I know about it I can plan for it. It just caught me by surprise last week when I returned to find my car unable to make it home.

I'd never parked a car for more than a few days before. I just wasn't thinking about it when I parked there for this trip and it was quite a shock to see the bill when I drove out. Uber next time for sure. Or a bus (which is free for me!). Thanks all.

I had no idea it got that cold recently! Yes, Uber would have been cheaper. I wasn't thinking straight when I left. The client pays for my travel, but I prefer to save them money whenever I can and Uber would have made a lot more sense for a trip as long as it was. Plus I wouldn't have had...

This is at DIA. The only charging stations I've seen are in the garage parking (never seen anything in the economy areas). I did attempt to park at a charger 3 weeks ago, but they were all taken, so I parked nearby but without plugging in. I would have made it to the supercharger, yes, but I...

Answers to the above: energy saver is on, always-connected is on. I have no dashcam or any other add-ons. No web services pinging the car. I had (wrongly?) assumed that always-connected was not a huge drain since it is (roughly) a cell-phone connection and surely the Tesla could power a...

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I can't find anything. I left my 85D with 160 miles of charge remaining, three weeks ago in the covered garage parking at the airport. When I returned I went to turn on the heat in the car using the Android app, only to find that it had just 19...

Not to be a stickler, but this isn't krumping. It's Dubstep Dance, which is a combination of popping, gliding and tutting. Scott makes it his own, though... he's the best there is at this style. Former Walmart employee, now he's a rockstar.

My teenager was watching this video and I looked over his shoulder and said, "Tesla! TesLAAAAA!!!!" He just rolled his eyes. I realize this is very off-topic and if a mod wants to delete the thread I'd understand. Just for fun... can you spot the Tesla?

It's now Mar 18th. I assume no email means no invite at this point...

Update: the car was sold for $76K to a wholesaler in Texas. No idea what the plans are after that.

It didn't have the radar on the front grill (or at least there was no solid rectangle there...)

Nice find. That car is quite comparable to the P85 I have right now. And in fact, that car has 31k miles whereas this P85 has only 13k. Everything else is quite similar. Although, as others have pointed out, the CPO would have a warranty, which is pretty nice of course.

I think you must be right about the tires. They have plenty of tread, but I took this P85 out today and raced it against my 85D. From a stop, dry conditions, we both just floored the accelerator. She took off perhaps 0.1s ahead of me, but I could hear the tires slip and I passed her...

Thanks. This vehicle already has CO plates and tags, so I would assume the $6,000 rebate would not be available. But even with it, it seems like the car is quite overpriced.

Is it reasonable that a MS in 2014 configured as I gave above would have been $125,000 when new?

Ok, I have the 2014 P85 with me right now. Here's what I've noticed: These are NOT next gen seats (my bad!). They are black leather seats Premium interior (power liftgate) Air Suspension Pano Roof 21" Wheels NO AP hardware The software looks older to me, perhaps because my Tesla has AP so...

What's an "options code list"? I googled for it (along with "Tesla") and the first hit was this thread! :)

How do I tell? Does the VIN help determine this?!

Someone traded in a grey 2014 P85 with black next gen seats and sunroof. 11K miles. VIN 5YJSA1H11EFP56325 This is a land rover dealership. Putting aside the question of what kind of insanity would motivate a person to give up a Tesla to obtain some POS Land Rover... I have a question for the...

I'm playing books on tape by downloading to a USB drive and then playing on the Tesla. Oddly, it sometimes has a scroll bar (to scrub back and forth through a chapter) and other times it does not. Does anyone know why? It's very frustrating to be forced to start a chapter over again and then...

I didn't read all 42 pages of this thread, but I skimmed the first 5. Questions: 1) How did you get CLI (and root) access to your car? 2) Beware the DMCA. Not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet, but it has been applied very broadly to people who rev-engineer software even if it's not for...

Thanks MrClown. I tried searching but didn't use the right keywords to get that thread from last Sept. Amazing to me that this (fairly fundamental) feature has been broken for so long!

I like to listen to books on tape and/or podcasts in my MS. I download them onto a USB drive and then insert the drive into one of the USB ports in the center console. The problem is this: if I'm (say) 15 mins into chapter 4 of some book, then park and go to bed, the next morning the car...
