I have a 2016 Tesla Model S 70D. I have a nail in one of the tires and have been asked to get a new tire. The tire spec is 245/45R19 98W A/S GOODYEAR EAGLE TOURING. Its expensive at the Tesla store and so was thinking of getting a new one from Costco. The one at Costco is the same spec but is...

I get the car washed outside but would like to start waxing the car on my own. Could you please recommend a wax that I should use for my Model S? How frequently should I wax? Any other spray/liquid that I should use for shining the car?

My Model S was showing less air in one tire. So I went to Costco and they filled it up. The guy told me that I have a nail in one of the tires. Costco said they will plug and patch it for $11. My question is: 1. Is it OK to get it fixed in Costco i.e. would they have experience with Teslas...

When I get out of the Model S with my wife and kid still being inside it and even if I leave the key in the car, the car still turns off. So even the sound system and heater are turned off. Is there a way to leave the car on when I am not in the car?

In 8.0, I see 3 diff speeds as compared to 2 before. The speed with the circle is a new thing which was introduced in 8.0. What does the speed in the circle indicate?

How do you clean Tesla's WeatherTech mats? Do you remove them and clean?

Everytime I brake at low speeds there is a "dah-dah" sound that comes. It even comes when I remove my foot off the brake pedal. I showed it to the Technician and they applied some lubricant to the brake pads last week. But the problem still very much persists. Has anyone seen this behaviour in...

I get my Model S washed at Champions in Tysons Corner (Virginia); its a hand-wash company. The last time I was there the guy suggested that I should get a hand wax done which would cost $75. Do you think its worth getting it done? Also, would it be safe enough...dont want somebody ruining the car.

I picked up my Pearl White 2 months back. I am thinking of getting Xpel on it. Usually, I have read on these forums that people get it right after delivery. My questions are as below: 1. Does it make sense to get it done after 2 months now? 2. Does Xpel give a new glow/shine to the car? 3. I...

I started to try out the Summon feature yesterday in a parking lot. I turned it on via my phone app and then held the reverse button on the app. However, it would move 5 feet and then stop with a message saying the app is having trouble connecting with the car. This happened 3-4 times. Has...

How many here actually use the Summon feature on an "almost" daily basis not just to show people how cool the feature it. For the people that use it on an almost daily basis, have you felt anytime that the car might hit the garage or something else while coming out?

What kind of car air freshners (not type of scents but type of products) do you use for your Model S? Want something that is long lasting and justifies the beauty of this car :-)

I have not yet tried the AutoPilot but would like to do so. Do you have simplified instructions on how I can turn it on and operate it? I read the manual but it was too confusing and the DS did not do a good job in explaining it.

I have an iPhone 6 and am interested in buying the Quick Connection Phone Dock. My car already came with the Center Console. My question is it easy to install the Quick Connection Phone Dock by yourself? I can use this accessory for charging and avoid wires being displayed, correct?

How good are Model S Floor Mats sold by Tesla? They are sold at $245. I was thinking if its worth spending that much OR just buying the regular floor mats from Walmart or Costco (probably sold for $25).

When I was given a walkthrough during pick-up of my Model S, in the Music section under 'Internet', I saw a lot of Bollywood radio stations. However, for some reason they have all disappeared now. I infact see a complete different selection of radio stations. Have I clicked something that...

Unfortunately, my garage handle door made 2 minor scratches on the back of the car. Do you know if I can purchase a can of touch-up Pearl White paint from the store OR do I need to order online? If I order it online, can I ask them to deliver to the store and avoid paying shipping fees since...

When I picked up my 70D last week, I was told by the DS that there is no spare tire that comes with the car. y question is if I have a flat tire then what should I do? Should I just call the 1-800 #? Will they come and fix the flat tire? How long does it normally take them to arrive?

Are there any hand car washes that you can recommend for the Model S in Northern Virginia. I was recommended Champion Car Wash by DS in Tysons Corner but would like to see if there are any others that people have used and liked.

Roughly, how much time does it take to charge to 80% at a charger that is not a 'Super Charger'? Also, is it safe to leave my car in the Super Charger while it is charging and go inside the mall and come back after an hour or so?

I called and emailed my DS yesterday. But no response. 1. If you have some issues that you want them to look at, do you call the DS or someone else? 2. Can you just drive to the Service station and ask them to take a look OR do you need to take an appointment? Its been frustrating getting...

I picked up my 70D on Saturday. But am having some trunk issues. I close it gently and it appears that its closed. But on the dashboard it still shows open. I have to then open it again and close it with a loud bang. Is that how its supposed to work? Please advise.

I picked up my 70D Pearl White (refreshed) on Saturday afternoon. I have a question for the group. Do the side mirrors automatically fold in when you walk away from the car with the fob in your pocket?

I got an email today that my car entered Production. Normally after how many weeks after it goes into Production can I expect delivery?

I did it!!! My Model S order got confirmed today. The date of delivery is showing as end of May/early June. Somehow I had seen other orders recently being delivered in 3-4 weeks. I was really surprised when it showed me end of May.

I have until tomorrow night to make changes to my Model S and am leaning towards getting the Pearl White. However, I read on a few threads that Pearl White looks a bit yellowish at times. How you noticed that? Can you please share your perspective on that.

Hello everyone, I am thinking of buying Model S. There are quite a few owners who have some or the other issues (such as the Pano roof leaking, etc.) going on with their Model S. They have been able to get most of the problems corrected by taking the car to the Service Center as part of the...
