Hi. The referral program has MS all weather mats as one of the options. Unfortunately the description says that they are for 2021+. Has anyone tried these in an older MS? I have a 2013 and wanted to see how closely they would fit. Thanks.

So I got the dreaded BMS and GTW error codes on Wednesday. See pic. Tesla had originally replaced the HV battery in 2019 while still under warranty. I actually thought this was good since it happened towards the latter part of the warranty and I would have a new (reman) battery to carry me...

Hi, has anyone done a DIY replacement/repair on their Blend Door Actuator. I've been getting a clicking sound for some time and inconsistent HVAC. If so how hard was it/how much time did it take (links if you have any you tube references). Thanks.

Hi. Has anyone had Tesla perform an air suspension recalibration out of warranty. I want to see how much they charge. I am experiencing rear suspension sag but the compressor seems fine. Also the air suspension is moving all four corners of the car up and down so I don’t think the air shock is...

I reported my issue two years ago. Tesla told me that they were working on a fix. I read a few people talk about some device that they put over the screen to delete the yellow border, but since then I haven't seen or heard anything. Honestly I just forgot about it. Anyone have experience...

Hey Guys I was inspired by @bmah’s recent post about his car to document the repairs that my MS has gotten over the years. All have been under warranty. I have a 2013 Model S P85. I bought the car as a CPO and so the warranty reset at 25,000 miles for another 50,000 mile. I am currently at...

I have a 2013 MS. When the new fascia cars came out, people started to refer to cars like mine as "classics". I hated that. To me it was basically a euphemism for "old" or "outdated". Now that Tesla charges for supercharging, cars like mine are now "grandfathered" for free supercharging...

Hello all. I am running 21's on my P85 (RWD) and have about 15,000 miles so far. Three of the tires looks like they can get 5,000 more miles, but one is low and so maybe another 2,000 miles. I've rotated every 6,000 miles and this winter, I swapped to 19 winters (I did not include the winter...

Hey guys. Anyone else experience this. In freezing weather I couldn't open my doors. After playing around I realized its because the windows (which normally open slightly when you pull the handle) were not dropping down. This in turn caused the windows to get stuck on the chrome lip. I am...

Hello guys, I discovered something a while back and wanted to share in case anyone else has a similar situation. Every once in a while I get the feeling of unintended acceleration with my model S. Its happened more than just a few times. After a while I was able to figure out what was...

has this happened to any one. This morning the outside temp was 60 degrees. The car was plugged in and charging from last night. Once I started to drive the temp on the dash registered as 90 and immediately started to tick down over the next minute or so to the correct temp. I did notice that...

The Tesla site has the Chademo adaptor for $450. BUT for $1,900 you get the adaptor and "fast charging onboard hardware activation". Does this refer to supercharging? If so it looks like those without supercharging can get a good deal on the upgrade and adaptor. The super charging itself...

When I had the NIMA 14-50 installed in/outside of my garage, the electrician told me that if I need to, I can plug a generator into the outlet and backflow power into my house. I would have to shut off any nonessential switches in the main power box, but the back flow would be fine for lights...

Hey guys. So I took my first road trip after about 300 miles of ownership. New York to DC. just a few thoughts to share. The drive itself was so good. Very smooth on the road with a quiet ride all the way. The car handled great. It even snowed and the car (rwd model) had no problem. Gps was...

I hope this picture uploads properly. Just saw this in the wild. Absolutely no Photoshopping on my part. You can still make out the nose cone so I'm guessing it was a dip job or just painted over.

Hey guys, I’m happy to say that I am at 150 miles with myModel S. Here are some of my experiences. Sales experience. I changed sales advisors once a dedicated CPO SA role was created. Both were very helpful and the process was very much “no pressure”. In fact the latest SA even encouraged...

You know the trick that people do before a snow storm by propping up the wipers to make scraping off snow easier. Can you do that with the model s. Doesn't seem you can since the arms are recessed under the hood. Experinced owners please comment. Thanks. Btw after driving ICE cars it's weird...

I am waiting for my CPO P85, but for current drivers, is there a way to know if the nearest supercharger is available or full? Since Tesla monitors the Superchargers themselves, couldn't they just show statuses? At least for registered owners?

Hey guys. Just pulled the trigger on a cpo. The car is located in Florida and I am in New York. When the sales advisor sent me pictures I could see that the prior owner installed after market rims (maybe tires too) and replacement floor mats. I could not see if he had put in floor mats in the...

Hey folks, before you go ahead and start calling me names like "Captain Obvious", I wanted to point out something that I noticed. A sales advisor has been helping me out with CPO cars. In the process, he has been sending me a number of pre-release cars (not yet on the CPO site). Most of these...

Hey guys (hank especially if you are reading). I've been eyeing a cpo p85 and it's been on and off the cpo site at least 5 times. Is tesla just refreshing it or could it be that someone tried to buy it and then backed out. If the latter does this mean that multiple people did the same thing...

I was reading through some IRS materials on the EV tax credit. Unless extended it appears to expire after a manufacturer reaches 200,000 cars. I'm not sure if this is overall or for each model (ie, Model S and X count separately). If the former, credits for Teslas may run out in late 2016 or...

Hey Guys, is it worth getting a signature edition MS as a CPO? My concern is that due to rolling features, the signatures actually have few options, some of which cannot be updated with a firmware update. Also, my concern is that Tesla was working out some of the kinks with the earlier...

I am looking at a specific CPO car and wanted to see if I could find the previous owner to get some insight into the car. Just want to make sure everything is ok with it. I figure that since they already sold it, an honest assessment of the car shouldn't be a problem. Is there a way to do...
