Hello, I need to replace my center display and instrument cluster display in my 2015 Model S 85 -- the center display is leaking glue, and the instrument cluster is also melting (but hasn't started leaking yet). The service centers in Alhambra and Burbank are overwhelmed and I've had to keep...

Hi all, Quick question regarding California HOV stickers -- we're owners of a 2015 Model S, purchased in late 2015. We received our white HOV sticker in early 2016. Will we be able to re-apply for a new sticker once our current sticker expires at the end of 2018?

Hi all, We need to replace one of our tires on our Model S, just wondering if anyone who lives near Pasadena or Burbank has a recommendation for a reputable shop? Thanks!

My wife and I listen to XM more often than other sources and we are both really frustrated with the 8.0 Media Player. I posted these observations in another thread, so apologies for this (way too long) re-run, but here's what I've found (I sent this to Tesla, but considering all the complaints...

I played around on 8.0 last night after our Model S updated yesterday; the first thing I did was check out the media player, which we all know has the potential -- thanks to the 17 inch display -- to be a fantastic piece of software with an industry-leading interface. The 8.0 media player is...

Just had this happen to us -- called the service center, but they're so slammed that the next available appointment was 3-4 weeks. Thankfully the manager called me back and sent out a Ranger the next day, he swapped out the handle in about 20 minutes. Perhaps your local service center could...

I have a 4+ week wait to examine rusty liquid that's leaking out from behind the front grille. We need a loaner in order to bring the car in, as the fix will take more than 1 day, and that's the first date that a loaner will be available. When I asked if I could get a rental instead of an S or X...

I know there's been a lot of speculation about the redesigned Center Console (I hope it gets added back as an aftermarket accessory in the Tesla Store) -- does the Center Console that came with your S have rear seat cupholders and USB charging ports?

Ordered the BlackVue DR650GW-2CH from prodashcam.com, the installer was recommending that I also purchase the Power Magic Pro, but from what I understand that is not needed on the Model S -- we'd like to keep the unit "always on" so it's working and recording when the car is parked overnight, or...

Thanks for all the recommendations! Think I'll go with prodashcam.com, happy to pay for a solid installation.

Hi all, I want to join the BlackVue DR650GW-2CH club and get one installed in our Model S, and was hoping to get recommendations for professional installers of this system near the Pasadena area. (Apologies if this has been asked before -- I browsed through some self-installation threads, but...

Only if you consider the key to be worth $150 (wall connector with 8.5' cable just went down in price to $500).

Apologies if this has already been suggested, but one possible solution to Supercharger abuse is to charge for access if the Supercharger station is within 75 miles of your home address.

The instances where we've been over concrete blocks in parking lots were always situations where the car needed to be parked deeper into the space. Raising the car up to avoid hitting the block while parking in tight spaces is something our Telsa rep highlighted when we were making our purchase...

Yes -- the setting drops itself from Very High to Normal. No weight difference -- haven't been adding any passengers or cargo.

That's what we've started doing -- leaving the screen on. Had it happen 2 more times. Each time it starts lowering, I rush to put it back to "very high" and have avoided having the car come down on the concrete block. Called our Burbank service center to set up an appointment -- they must be...

Here's what the settings are -- "Select a speed at which the ride height will automatically transition to LOW. Vehicle will remain LOW above this speed." -- I have it set to ""100+ mph".

I'll definitely double check -- but I believe it's set to speed determined.

Hi all, I've run into a weird issue with our Model S automatic air suspension. A few times I've set the car to "very high" when parking, which allows the car's front bumper to pass over the concrete parking lot blocks. After returning to the car, I've noticed that the air suspension sometimes...

Thanks for the valuable feedback, everyone! Really appreciate all of you taking the time to reply. Not sure what we will do yet but sounds like we have a few options. My wife doesn't have a bad driving record (only 1 speeding ticket from years and years ago, she paid the fine and did online...

So just got off the phone from my wife, who got a ticket here in Southern California at the start of her commute out to the Inland Empire in her Model S. She’s a doctor, and was in a rush to deal with an emergency in her Model S, and wound up ‘cutting in’ to the Express Lane on the 10 Freeway...

I'm a dummy -- how do you use TuneIn?

Both the media app and the navigation app really need improvement -- I listen to music every time I drive, and every time I'm stuck in traffic, which is often here in Southern California, I stare at the map on the beautiful 17" display and wish it could display realtime traffic information (sig...

Hi all, I'm sure there is a simple fix for this, but just haven't been able to find it on our own -- every time either my wife and I start our Model S, the radio "reverts" to the same channel (in our case, Channel 5 on XM radio -- music from the 1950s. Not that we have anything against hits...

Thanks for the feedback, everyone! We will schedule a tire rotation soon. Can't remember what the Service Center told us -- is there a fee for tire rotation? (We just picked up our car in late December).

Quickly approaching 5000 miles on our rear-wheel drive Model S 85, which was delivered at the end of December. We use it to commute 120 miles a day on weekdays and we were wondering how often experienced Model S owners would recommend rotating the tires. We drive in Southern California...

Thanks to everyone who gave their advice! This forum continues to be a great resource for us. We've decided to wait and see how the car performs and then use that info to decide whether or not we want to purchase the Extended Warranty for $4k after 50,000 miles.

Thanks for the tip! Do you have an email address that I can use to get in touch with Tesla directly? Thanks!

Thanks for the advice! (Apologies that my original thread just cut off, it appears that I accidentally posted it without finishing it -- how embarrassing.) The "Extended Service Agreement" ($4000) listed on the Tesla site says that it begins on the date when my original warranty expires or at...

Hello, Recently took delivery of a new Model S85 and we *love* driving this amazing car. We use it to commute to work (115 miles/day round trip) and also use it on the weekends, so I estimate we'll be putting about 600 miles/week and 32,200 miles/year on the car. With that in mind, was hoping...

Really appreciate all the responses to this thread. Thanks for weighing in with your opinions!

Fantastic feedback. Thank you (and everyone else) for weighing in!

Thank you for the recommendations, everyone! Really appreciate all the near instantaneous feedback!

Hi everyone, Brand new owner of a rear wheel drive Model S 85. I will be using the car 5 days out of the week to commute to my work (50 miles to work, 50 miles to home), mostly driving on Southern California freeways from LA to the Inland Empire (can't wait to use the HOV lane!). After picking...
