    Why is it so hard to get a service appointment now?

    Previously, if I needed an appointment I just called the service center. Now, there is no way to get an actual person and it says use the app or go online. If I use the app, I can't get an appointment for 2 weeks and I need to get in sooner because it's a steering issue. If I go online and...

    Wheel Recommendation

    I'm going to be turning in my Model S lease in a few months and will probably get another one. I don't really like the looks of the current 19" wheels and because I live in Pa (Pothole City) I'm a little concerned about getting the 21" wheels. I'm thinking of maybe getting some aftermarket 19"...

    What's on the horizon/Refresh?

    My lease is up in June and I'm wondering if there are any refresh rumors about changes to the S. I'm considering another S or the X or.... I don't know.

    Can anyone confirm whether or not the dashcam feature is only available on 2.5? I saw conflicting reports. Thanks!

    How many guys driving Model X?

    I know this is a strange question. My Model S lease is up next year and I'm thinking of the Model X just because it's bigger and seems a little more luxurious if that makes sense. However, Tesla seems to have marketed the X toward women and I don't see many men in my area driving the X. I, of...

    Anything special about mounting/balancing tires on Tesla?

    I went to my normal mechanic to get 4 tires mounted and balanced and he didn't want to do it. Said he didn't have the right tools. Is there something special about installing tires on a Model S or is he being goofy? Thanks!

    Performance: Launch Mode vs. Stomping the Accelerator

    Now that Tesla has limited maximum performance to only being available in "launch mode", does anyone know what the performance specs are for the car if I just hit the accelerator? When I bought the car it was advertised to go 0-60 in 3.1 seconds. I have no idea what the performance is now with...

    Launch Mode Not Working

    I've read the manual, watched videos and even read several threads to make sure I'm doing everything correctly but launch mode won't work for me. I have a P90D and every time I press the brake and then the gas I get a message that both pedals are pressed (not that launch mode is enabled as it...

    App: Climate turns itself off a few seconds after I turn it on....

    It seems just about every time I turn on the heat/AC with the Android app it turns itself off after a few seconds. If I turn it back on again it stays on. Anyone else have this problem and know a fix? Thanks.

    Ok, Winter Is Here - I Want To Leave the Heat On When I Run Into The Store!

    All of my previous cars (BMW, MB, Audi) have had a feature that allows the heat or AC to stay on for several minutes after I leave the car to run into a store or whatever. Based on my Googling Tesla does not offer this feature. Since we're a pretty smart bunch, I'm sure someone has come up...

    Cupholder Solutions?

    It's great having the front console with cupholders. However, they are so big that drinks (cans/bottles) move around so much that fluid goes everywhere. Has anyone found a solution that will take up some of the extra space so that drinks fit more snugly? Thanks!

    Interior Cleaner That Doesn't Streak?

    I took my dog for a ride in the S today (yea, yea, bad idea). He slobbered everywhere. I tried a damp microfiber on the doors and sills but that didn't do much. So, I tried both 303 Aerospace Protectant and Meguiar's Natural Shine and both of them streaked really bad. I buffed a lot trying...

    Fan noise (whirring sound) when car is off?

    Anyone else hear this coming from the front of the car? The car is off, not charging and I don't have my key. Sometimes it turns off but most times I hear it. Thanks.

    Primer/Tutorial on kW, kWh, electricity/energy and ready those energy graphs?

    I don't really have a good understanding of a lot of the terms used when people talk about the batteries and charging like kW, kWh, etc. And I have no idea what those energy graphs in the car mean. Is there a good tutorial source to learn more? The manual isn't very helpfu. Thanks! Edit...

    With New Console, How Much Room for USB Drive and Angle Connector?

    Because they don't make the really small USB drives in 256GB I have to get a longer one and then use an angle connector. Can anyone tell me if there is room on the new console for the angle connector and "normal" size USB drive? There used to be a lot of room: Thanks

    Model S Refresh: License Holder Part of Bumper?

    Sales rep say license holder is standard but can be unscrewed - doesn't know what it looks like underneath. This pic looks like license holder is molded into bumper. Rep also says they had to include it because it was part of the crash test. Thoughts? I'm not happy about this since...

    Trim?

    What does everyone think about the new trim choices? I think I'm getting the figured ash because I like the natural wood look. However, I can't find many good pictures of it.

    2016 Model S Refresh Mega-thread

    I'm just about ready to make my big purchase but can't help feeling that something is around the corner for the Model S. There have been rumors of the 100D and a facelift among other things. Right now, I'm waiting until the Model 3 is announced just in case something for the S is announced at...

    Is this a normal amount of time to charge on a supercharger?

    Took my first ever trip in a P90D this weekend (Pgh to Cleveland). The temperature was about 40 degrees, pretty cold. When we arrived we had 30 miles left. I went to a supercharger before the return trip and I was expecting to get about 80% after about 35 minutes based on what the dealer told...
