    Thinking of getting a Tesla

    Buy used and go private party. Don't buy into the hype over auto pilot, it's a gimmick that you will get tired of. I bought a used 2013 P85+ With 26k miles on it for just under 70k. Nearly 50k less than new. No it doesn't have power folding mirrors, park sensors or any auto pilot hardware but...

    How satisfied are you with the non-AP (Classic) V7.0

    I installed the updated over the weekend and like it (I have 2013 P85+ without AP). The speedo isnt that much different and I prefer knowing that the brake lights are on during regen braking and the other visual indicators around the car like a door open or the headlights being on. Ive read some...

    Anyone have pics of the black multi-pattern seats?

    I had a new 2015 P85D loaner (150 miles when I left the SC) a few weeks ago and it had the black multi-pattern seats and I really liked them. There was some leather on the seats which was nice but its the same seat design in general, just has cloth on most of the seat. Definitely better then the...

    How much are you saving from your Model S Charging Costs vs Gas for your Car?

    For me its a big win because I sold my daily driver for about 99.5% of the cost of a private part 2013 P85+. The difference was thanks to the pesky CA sales tax which I needed a very small amount out of my pocket to cover.... Gas savings will be about 400 per month and I have solar (paid for...

    [Resolved] My P85 has developed the milling noise and Tesla won't fix it.

    I replied earlier in this thread about my DU getting replaced as well last week. I drove the car a bit hard today and also noticed that Im not getting the same rear end squat I used to under hard acceleration. The first time I accelerated in full from about 40 MPH on the freeway I almost lost...

    Would you buy used with drive unit concerns?

    I bought a 2013 P85+ 3 weeks ago and heard the hum some have reported at freeway speeds. Took into the Costa Mesa SC on Tuesday and got it back yesterday with a new motor. 0 issues with my buying used as its all covered regardless. They also took care of another 10 or so items including the...

    [Resolved] My P85 has developed the milling noise and Tesla won't fix it.

    I bought a 2013 P85+ 3 weeks ago with 26k miles on it and noticed a low drone on the freeway right away. Knowing that it needed to go in to have the battery shield installed I mentioned the drone to my service advisor when I dropped the car off Tuesday morning. They did the road test and...

    I'm a Member...just pulled the trigger on a CPO 85

    Not really the point and not an acceptable way to look at the situation. You give Tesla a deposit, make plans to sell your car and then have to sit around waiting for updates that never come or the common courtesy of returning a phone call? This is not the way to provide a positive customer...

    I'm a Member...just pulled the trigger on a CPO 85

    I had a similar experience which is why I just gave up. I had found out after speaking to the local sales manager that some of the CPO cars end up as demo and service loaners and sales struggles with tracking them down and staying on top of their status. He also mentioned that first priority is...

    I'm a Member...just pulled the trigger on a CPO 85

    I gave up after over a month of working on a few CPO and Demo cars. In my opinion, no used car should be offered for sale without actual pictures posted and its real use should be made clear. After having to give up on a demo car due to being mislead (not purposely) on leasing and financing (was...
