    Tesla Coat Hooks: What am I missing?!

    OK, so it's not just me. I ordered the coat hooks (part 1458421-00-A ) for my 2014 MS as the website claimed they were compatible. But they clearly don't fit, and the back of my seats doesn't match the installation diagrams. Time to return them. Tesla would save a lot of shipping and handling...

    Any Uber/Lyft Drivers in the House?!

    Prior to COVID-19, yes -- I did drive for Uber. But I can't answer the "how's it working out for you" question because I didn't drive Uber for the money. Back in 2015 when I bought my 2014 Model S P85D (it was a Tesla demo unit), long before Model 3 production started, Teslas were rare. So I...

    Help me decide: Model Y or Mach-E

    There's a good reason not to buy from a traditional car manufacturer: Sleazy dealers rather than direct Tesla sales. That Ford salesman was outright lying to you. That adapter presently only is usable on AC Level 2 Tesla "destination chargers" (found at places like hotels and restaurants). They...

    Warranty Adjustment Program – Touchscreen Component email - Wow - watch for it

    I text back that this has happened. Service says that a "remote" team will investigate, but in case they find nothing, they schedule a return visit for about two weeks out. Fast forward two weeks, unlike the last time, I get no message about the remote investigation. I drop off my car. The next...

    Warranty Adjustment Program – Touchscreen Component email - Wow - watch for it

    My experience: I received the email like other about the Warranty Adjustment Program. 2014 Model S P85D Shortly thereafter, while on a road trip, 30 minutes into the trip the center console screen became slow, then froze, then went blank and rebooted. I used the app to schedule a service...

    Tesla Covering Some MCU1 Issues for Some Owners

    This is not clear yet. If you read further in the page, you'll see they don't plan to announce anything until Feb 2021. I am presently scheduled to get the eMMC fix later this month. Asked about a discounted Infotainment Upgrade instead. Service's reply: NOPE.

    Tesla Covering Some MCU1 Issues for Some Owners

    Yes -- what the Warranty Adjustment Page does not tell you is that the first thing Service is going to ask you (via Text in my case) is the exact date and time I last had an issue -- within the past two weeks. Who can remember that if you weren't told in advance to make a note? As it happens...

    Water entering from bottom of trunk, strange screw piercing trunk?

    Update: I took the car in to Tesla Service (had other things for them to look at at the same time). The came up with what they believe is a very solid guess as to what happened. I had a supposedly good body shop (no, not a Tesla certified one, but read on) install the custom Torklift EcoHitch...

    Water entering from bottom of trunk, strange screw piercing trunk?

    We recently had flash flooded roads here in the Philly area. I was driving through some serious (inch or two) but not life threatening areas of roads where the water was moving quickly. This resulted in a lot of splashes up against the underside of my car, I'm sure (probably worse than going...

    3G connection problems after MCU replacement

    I done quite a bit of searching in the forums here and via Google, but haven't found mention of this. Recently, the Bluetooth in my Model S P85D started having problems which gradually became worse and worse. Tesla Service eventually decided that the only solution was to replace the MCU. After...

    I took my friend for a ride and his Neighbor asked "why on earth did he buy a Tesla"

    Originally, I thought that completely, with only some minor hope that since there were so many fewer moving parts, the car might last a long time and that would allow me to keep it longer. Thus the comparison might be one Model S vs. two Audis. But there has already been a surprise I hadn't...

    Personal comparison between 85 Air Suspension and 85 Coil Suspension

    I know this thread is a year old, but I'm looking at buying a Model S, and so here I am. Unfortunately, most of the comments comparing the coil vs. air suspension seem to focus on how bumpy the ride is. I currently have an Audi S4 B6 (V8) with a very stiff ride; I don't care how bumpy it is as...
