    202X Roadster Delay Legal Action?

    I paid $50,000 in November of 2017, and same thing. Tesla never called me back. I've grown to dislike the company that I once greatly admired. I called many times to ask my place in line with the Roadster reservation - no can do. I recently called and asked if my reservation locked in the 200K...

    Plaid Test Drive

    Michelin Pilot Sport - very noisy at 75 MPH on highway. Continentals are better.

    Plaid Test Drive

    I think I'm canceling my Plaid Model S order. I am worried the cab will be real noisy like my 2014 Model S. The roar of the tires drowns out my $2500 sound system. Is the 2023 noisy like the 2014? Road noise of the tires? I'm reading road noise is bad on the new Model S. There is no service...

    2023 Model S Road Noise?

    I have a December 2014 P85D and it has always been noisy inside the cab and that is from the tires. The Michelin Pilot Sports were the worst. The Continentals are much quieter, but overall the car is much, much noisier than my 3-series BMW. I want a new Model S, but I'm thinking that after 8...

    2021 Plaid - Here we go again! SSDD and tires...

    My Model S P85D wears out tires, especially the insides of the rear tires, very fast. I drive at slow speeds around town, but I don't trust that the car is safe at speed. Tesla has not been able to fix the problem - 3 different service centers the last 6 months. Why Tesla did not use adjustable...

    "UM UM UM" noise & tires wearing out turns dream car into nightmare

    Because the Tesla approved body shop was 250 miles from my home, and when I got there (in late November) that shop said it would be middle of January to get the parts from Tesla. I wanted to know where they would store my car until the end of November, all of December, and to the middle of...

    "UM UM UM" noise & tires wearing out turns dream car into nightmare

    Can we have an honest moment? While my car is under an extended service agreement, I don't want to modify with an aftermarket alignment kit or oddball parts. This is actually a suggestion Tesla Service brought up to me. So, stock Tesla parts will not fix the tire wear/alignment problem? We have...

    "UM UM UM" noise & tires wearing out turns dream car into nightmare

    What is difficult about following my post? Can you imagine Ford or GM or any other company diagnosing this noise as the fault of a tire, then replacing tires and not driving the car to listen for the same noise? I picked up the car and it HAD THE SAME NOISE and they had changed out those old...

    Questions about toe/camber angles after recent alignment and 2 new tires

    I see this now after posting about my tires wearing fast - P85D Model S. Tesla said I needed tires and a front and rear end alignment. They did this and the new tires continued to wear and I still had that noise - so it was not the sound of bad tires. Now I learn form this thread that the rear...

    "UM UM UM" noise & tires wearing out turns dream car into nightmare

    "Um um um" increases in frequency with speed. I hear it. Passengers hear it. Tires wear out prematurely, mainly the inner passenger side rear on my December 2014 Model S P85D build. Tesla Service, however, said the problem was MY TIRES making this noise. So, they replaced tires and lined up...

    Helping w/ Model S MCU Issues

    Tesla replaced my failed MCU1 in February of 2020. Recently, my Tesla was in a Service Center and I asked what MCU I had because I have not been able to access the web. They said it is an MCU1. So, back in February of 2020 they replaced my MCU1 with another MCU1. At the time I talked extensively...

    Is my P85D battery toast now?

    I think mine is too.

    Is my P85D battery toast now?

    I don't know percentage at 66 on the range. I do not know the KW at 66. I took a screen shot at 80 range, but that photo does not show kw. I don't know if Tesla had the a/c on.

    Is my P85D battery toast now?

    It would not charge at all for me at a supercharger. The previous supercharger the rate was a constant 117 mi/hr and took 1 hr and 45 minutes to go from 22 to 185, when my screen released me to make it 128 miles to next supercharger. At the service center it charged sporadically then reached 223...

    Is my P85D battery toast now?

    Thanks for the links. The battery is under warranty and did charge to 225 by middle of next day, Sunday, more than 24 hours charging.

    Is my P85D battery toast now?

    I got towed 150 miles from Supercharger to Tesla service center when my battery would not charge. I got stranded far from home. This is my third night in a hotel. I watched my car charging from my AP when Tesla was working on it in their service center. I don't know if they were performing a...

    Could my P85D with new 90kwh battery get more performance?

    When you say your P85D battery "died," what exactly happened? Also, any others that have had their 85KWH battery replaced, what did it do?

    Tire Store Put One Wide Tires On Front & One Narrow Tires on Rear

    To my surprise, they replaced the Michelin Pilot Sport tires with a set of Contnentals.

    Tire Store Put One Wide Tires On Front & One Narrow Tires on Rear

    My rear tire blew out, and when towed to Tesla they explained to me that back tire that blew was a narrow front tire on a narrow rim, and there was also a wide rear tire that had been mounted on the front. Of course, my Tesla is a P85D with staggered wheels/tires. The Tesla tech said that...

    Which goes further for $43 - a Tesla or a Gas Car?

    The key metric here is this: The energy in one gallon of gas equals the energy in 33.7 KWH. Therefore, an EV with a 100KWH battery has the same energy as about 3 gallons of gas. A new Model S, Long Range, has a range of 405 miles. There is no gas car weighing 4700-4800 pounds that will go...

    Which goes further for $43 - a Tesla or a Gas Car?

    A KWH at home is 10 cents. Why should it be 43 cents at a charging station, or even 31 cents if you are a member, and what does that cost? Price gouging? My gas friends, I hate to say, were right. The charging stations would reap the benefits of an EV's efficiency. Not us. It was the same when...

    Which goes further for $43 - a Tesla or a Gas Car?

    The disparity is that 43 cents per KWH is 4.3 times higher than the 10 cents per KWH that I pay at home to charge. What business buys a product for 10 cents and sells for 43 cents - 4.3X higher? That's would be a 330% markup. This high price does not promote the use of EV's, and negates...

    Which goes further for $43 - a Tesla or a Gas Car?

    In 2015, when I bought my Tesla Model S, critics with gas cars told me that no matter the 5 to 6 times higher efficiency of EV's, that the charging stations would just charge more for electricity, and we wouldn't benefit from the higher efficiency of EV's. They would take advantage, and we...

    Reduced charging rate

    Why would I get this message, then? I wasn't able to increase the percentage.
  29. J

    Reduced charging rate

    Reduced supercharging on my Model S P85D - about half of what it was - but a surprise was a message that due to the supercharger station being in high use that I would also be restricted to 80% charge. (There were at least 2 stalls open.) Since my range also recently decreased abruptly, this...

    Which color do you prefer your Roadster 2020?

    Loud and clear!!
  31. J

    Which color do you prefer your Roadster 2020?

    If they would offer red interior I'm onboard with that color combination - or blue with red interior.
  32. J

    Which color do you prefer your Roadster 2020?

    White - no, black. Blue? Won't be red, unless it's the old Porsche red. Don't like metallic in red.

    Sell my P85D with Ludicrous and

    I'm kind of glad nobody stepped up to buy my P85D-L. The car looked new tonight in the low light, the way that black paint shined. With the extended warranty, what is the difference in my Model S and a used one from Tesla? Just bought new tires 500 miles ago for $1600, new 12-volt battery a few...

    Sell my P85D with Ludicrous and

    Tesla verified my P85D L has the Performance Plus suspension, which makes me wonder how later P85D's and P90D's with this suspension drive in comparison.

    Sell my P85D with Ludicrous and

    Superchargers don't use the dual chargers - in other words, supercharging is the same with or without dual chargers.
  36. J

    Sell my P85D with Ludicrous and

    Yes, it has the cold weather package.
  37. J

    Sell my P85D with Ludicrous and

    I think so. My P85D L was built in December and it charged to 253 when I bought it.

    Sell my P85D with Ludicrous and

    Thanks!! I appreciate the support of other owners. Sometimes I get the itch to sell, and I have a beautiful Model S with dual motors and Ludicrous. I would let another Tesla fanatic have it, figured they would appreciate the car. l would like a fair price. Otherwise, why sell? I also have dual...

    Sell my P85D with Ludicrous and

    Last time I did full charging my range went to 241. New, it went to 253. I remember that well. I was always gentle with my charging, like at home charging to 125-150 miles range, or around town driving that is mostly what I do. I also do not do 0-60 MPH runs, and never used that automatic...

    True, I am one of the Teslatari, so I would sell the car.

    Sell my P85D with Ludicrous and

    Appreciate the tips, especially about Tesla inventory and using them as appraisals. I had wondered about that because I went to look at a used Tesla 2-3 years ago at a store, and the vehicle was fairly new - and the seats were awful, nothing I would buy. My car is so nice, and Tesla gives a...

    Sell my P85D with Ludicrous and

    Notice P85D is underlined, for the Ludicrous option, which cost an extra $5,000 in 2016 from Tesla. Original invoice is over $130,000. The 21" charcoal turbine wheels have one scrape is all I can find. Been very careful with the car Premium seats look great, mostly just driver seat shows a...
