I know all claims are different and vary widely from state to state, but here's what happened to me. I switched to Liberty Mutual within the past year after Tesla referred me there, which is why this situation is so ridiculous. Tesla's own "partner" nitpicked me on the specialty rate for...

This has happened a few times recently, but my 2014 S60 has been limiting the power output even when I have plenty of battery left, and I don't understand why. I know the car will automatically limit power output under certain circumstances (low charge to preserve range, extreme temperatures to...

I could have sworn that it was possible to disable the auto presenting completely. When I turn the setting to "off" the door handles still extend/retract, just not automatically when I approach the car. One of mine failed a few weeks ago, and another is now making a faint grinding noise, so I...

Anyone know how much the FWDs are to repair out of warranty? I've seen a couple threads about people accidentally damaging the FWD, which shouldn't be covered under warranty. Are there any data points to how much this costs?

I feel like I see a fair amount of salvaged cars being scrapped and sold by parts, like this one for example. Why is that? Is it because repair costs are relatively high and insurance companies are more likely to declare it totaled or something? One of my fears is getting into some type of...

Pretty sure I know the answer but figured I'd ask if anyone knows for sure. But is the Tesla app (and third-party apps that use the API like Remote S) capable of short-range communication to issue commands to the car? Like if there's no cellular signal, will it work if the phone is close, either...

It took about a month for all the necessary parts to get in, but I finally got my rear-facing seats installed today on the CPO that I took delivery of in late January. They're awesome and I know the kids will love them and we'll get good usage out of them since they're still young. A few...

I've read on the forums here how Tesla switched TPMS sensor a while back, and the older sensors do not work on newer VINs. What about the other way around? Will the new TPMS sensors work on older VINs? (My VIN is 37xxx.)

I'm thinking of buying some of the TST Sportline 19" turbines, but would want to sell my 19" OEM base wheels to help offset the cost. I'm just curious, how active is the market for parts like OEM wheels? Would I have much trouble selling them, either locally (Denver) or listing on...

I'm new to aftermarket wheels and stuff, but is it possible to change the color of wheels? I personally like the base 19" wheels but would like them in a darker grey/black, but don't know if that's even possible.

I'm new to the Denver area, and coming from TX never had much experience with real snow/winter conditions. I got stuck in my driveway briefly this morning and now wonder about getting either snow chains or tires. I don't know that much about either (read: grew up in TX). Would I be fine just...

I've been trying to research this and keep finding conflicting and/or outdated info. Are you able to retrofit rear-facing seats to an S or not? I saw the threads from 2013 when it officially became a "factory install only" option, which it remains on the Tesla site. I also found this thread (So...

I currently have a CPO S on order (VIN P37xxx-ish, first registered around May 2014) that I'm awaiting delivery for (hasn't shipped yet). After borrowing a friend's car with the rear-facing seats and using them with kids, I kind of wish my CPO had them. I then found a CPO that is very comparable...

General question, but theoretically if you were to get your battery replaced as well as the drive unit replaced, isn't this essentially the same as getting a new car within the same shell? I'm just thinking about longevity of the S, and this seems like a huge benefit if you want to keep the same...

Sorry if this has been discussed before but I'm new to the community, but has there been any talk about the possibility of upgrading battery capacity later on? With the batteries being able to be swapped easily, it just seems like a natural service to offer. For instance, I just ordered a CPO...

I'm cancelling my X reservation in order to buy a CPO S for $50k (2014, 20k miles), which I think is a sensible financial decision since the CPO prices are great right now. I still want an X eventually though for my wife with more seats, so I'm wondering if in about 5-6 years if CPO X prices...

I just ordered my first Tesla and I'm really excited (CPO 60 for $50k), and now looking into center console options for additional storage. I'm sure this has been posted before, but I'm kind of new around here so forgive me if I'm bringing up an old topic. If anyone can point me to older threads...

What are everyone's thoughts with how stain-resistant the standard textile seats are or will be? I have 2 young kids (3 & 7) so I'm concerned about them spilling things etc. I don't have too much experience with S seats (don't own a Tesla currently) but for those that have an S and maybe went to...

This is probably a stupid question, but since TSLA is prioritizing the higher-capacity models first, does your Sequence Number actually matter at all? Since for example, anyone with a later-sequence ordering a P90D X would take priority over an earlier-sequence 70D, right? What's the point of...

Hi all, I'm new around here and just reserved an X yesterday. I actually had a reservation last year but cancelled it but I just got back in line. Seeing as how new reservations won't deliver until 2H'16, I figured I had plenty of time to save up and finalize a decision with my wife. I have some...
