    "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...

    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...

    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...

    For a P90DL - but my P85DL has the Performance Plus suspension, being an early car. Wondering if the P90DL will not be as good handling, etc. Tesla is offering $46,500, and my Next Gen seats are very nice. I had the driver's replaced under warranty in the summer of 2017. Tesla offers low I think...

    Tire store rounded off lug nuts, which is common, and where are my lug nut covers?

    On my annual Tesla replaced the lug nuts because they were "rounded off." Tech told me something like Tesla has higher standards. I'm not sure what he meant - if it was acceptable for another car to have rounded off lugs or what. Does anybody know? I didn't want to keep asking tech that same...

    Does P100D require warming battery for 0-60 in 2.5 seconds?

    My P85D with Ludicrous has a warm battery button to achieve 0-60 MPH in 2.9 seconds. I believe the wait period can be like 40 minutes, which I have never done. I wonder if the P100D also has a button for warming to achieve 0-60 MPH in 2.5 seconds.

    Want (ed?) a Roadster, still do I guess, but first test drive, wow, roll over a crease in road and suspension bangs up through thin seat into body with sort of a clank like there are no shocks. Is this something drivers get used to, that they want, or what?
