    NYC Garages Charging Additional Fees For Destination Charging

    I'm not saying Tesla should pay for the electricity. I think the garage should be bearing the cost since they got the hardware for free and it's essentially free advertising (more likely to get Tesla customers) on the in-car navigation. I do understand your point. Maybe I'm just salty that the...

    NYC Garages Charging Additional Fees For Destination Charging

    Again this could be dated but see the agreement attached. It says "Electricity costs will be the responsibility of the host property, which may reserve the right to only provide charging to its paying customers". Honestly, Tesla should have a function in the in-car navigation to filter out all...

    NYC Garages Charging Additional Fees For Destination Charging

    I got into an argument with a NYC parking garage (one of Icon's garages) that was trying to charge me an additional $20 for charging my Tesla while I was parked there. Just to avoid any confusion, this is on top of the rate I paid the garage to park. My understanding based on the Tesla...

    Supercharging Issue

    I preconditioned the battery before charging. Usually takes 20-30mins or so to get to the charger so assuming the battery is already warm. Thanks for the tip for kW vs kWh. Now I won’t sound like an idiot when I speak to friends ;P

    Supercharging Issue

    Hey guys - I brought my car to the service center as I realized my super charging was very slow (2016 90D). I started noticing this after the service center replaced the battery heater. I also recently replaced the entire battery (Dec 2021) but I did not supercharge that much so I might not have...

    New 2021 Model S Unveiled January 27, 2021

    Sorry to be negative but just curious, is anyone upset about the interior? By interior I mean the interior looks like the model 3 and y with the exception of the driver IC and the back screen? I have a model 3 and the interior feels really cheap... especially the steering wheel. That steering...

    Now that production has resumed, how long before we find out

    Exactly! The only reason I will stick to the Model S and X is because I hate the 1 screen in the Model 3 and Y.

    Tesla's Warranty Reserve

    Thanks for the summary! Very helpful. I do have one question. If the bears are saying Tesla has overstated its warranty reserves, wouldn't that mean Tesla's net income is actually understanding, meaning earnings per share should actually be higher than reported? That is a positive for the...

    Struggling Q2'20

    Not sure if this has been posted already but anyone else think the reduced FSD price is a push to get sales up in Q2? From a profitability perspective, people upgrading to FSD has no cost associated with it as the hardware is already there. Still long TSLA but wondering if there will be a dip...

    Squeak between driver seat and armrest...

    Oh got it - I dont think it's rubbing against the center console. It's the spring or something I think. Once I lean back and forward, there is a squeak.

    Hey guys. I just started having this issue and I’m an idiot when it comes to repairing stuff. Can someone please explain where to apply it? My seat squeaks when I lean back or forward so not sure how to test where the “contact point” is.

    Mine is a 2016 with AP1 and waiting for an interior refresh to upgrade to the Model X, hopefully with at least 400mi of range on a single charge.

    Navigation / Maps Update

    My Model S is at 2018.12.4 and does not have the map update so I don't think it's related to firmware. I double checked and the navigation is still the old maps.

    Tesloop and New Supercharging Rules

    I'm sure everyone has seen the new Supercharging rules limited the use of Superchargers for commercial purposes. Does this mean Tesloop is going to be out of business? What does this mean for Turo, Relayrides, etc.?

    No replacement for the 90D

    I'm curious now. I have a 90D. Let's say my battery breaks and needs to be replaced, will this mean I will have to pay extra for a 100D battery? Don't get me wrong, I would be happy to pay for a range upgrade!

    Public Charger Question

    Hey guys, I was wondering if I hit "stop charging" on the Tesla app, will I still get billed for being plugged into a public charger? For example, if I use a public charger that charges $1 per hour of charging, if I hit "stop charging" will I continue to be billed for $1 an hour? Thanks!

    Can this be repaired? (Rear quarter panel, passenger side)

    I can't see the picture on my phone but I had a scratch in my right rear quarter panel. I got it fixed at Precision Auto Body, which is the only Tesla Approved Body Shop near NYC. They did a fantastic job however the price was ridiculous. Obviously I filed an insurance claim but I didn't know a...

    Anyone used these wheels? Rial Lugano OE Cap

    Perfect, I'm glad these work. I really like the look of the cyclone and these are the cheapest alternative. I doubt it but I was wondering do these impact range at all? Also does the service center do the switch for me or how do I install them? Thanks in advanced guys!
