    Deteriorating falcon wing door moon roof gasket on early model X’s

    I luv Tesla BUT…. With their poor design choice of integrating a substandard gasket material (which started to disintegrate after 3 years) to a very expensive falcon wing door moonroof, and their analysis that this pieces is merely cosmetic (and not covered under warranty), I decided to strip it...

    Interesting Error Warning - Car may not Restart

    First time I've seen this error....Driving home from work, got the error and called the SC. They said it was likely nothing but to bring it in when I could so they could investigate. Since I was only 4 blocks away, I swung by and picked up a loaner. I'm glad I did. When they went to start...
