Does “almost no ads” in the supporting membership tiers include being spared from the god-awful full screen hijacks that logged in members have recently been subjected to? I would assume yes but would like clarification before considering. They’re really a very special level of obnoxious.

https://www.pge.com/en_US/residential/solar-and-vehicles/other-solar-options/battery-storage-rebate.page Tesla sent me an email this afternoon alerting me to this program because I live in an area subject to a ton of "Enhanced Powerline Safety Settings" outages. Not sure I "need" another...

This thread is for the general discussion of the marketplace listing Dec 2016 Model S 75 - original owner, SC01 FUSC, MCU2/AP3, EAP. Please add to the discussion here.

CVRP money is evaporating like a puddle in Fresno in August, if you're submitting an application get it in by September 5: https://cleanvehiclerebate.org/en "Funds for CVRP are nearly exhausted. Applications received on or after September 6, 2023, will be placed on a standby list and are not...

This forum section is a ghost town recently... I've been contemplating a cheap commuter lately and watching inventory Model 3 RWDs... almost jumped at one or two in the $37k range but then think better of myself and remember that the only rational time to buy a Tesla is the end of a quarter...

It’s getting hot here in interior California and I’ve been noticing my Dec 2016 Model S is not coping particularly well. It’s been north of 100 degrees the past week and I’m noticing relatively poor AC performance, along with fairly regular errors stating “cabin AC temporarily reduced, vehicle...

I have some loot box credits to get rid of. If you’re looking for a colored cover plate for your wall connector, I got you. $60, I’ll enter your address in the redemption form and Tesla will ship directly to you. https://shop.tesla.com/product/wall-connector-color-matched-faceplate...

Like many I've been exploring the idea of adding additional solar to my home prior to the NEM3 rules kicking in. I have an existing 7.6kw SunPower microinverter system with 2x Powerwall 2s, both installed by a local third party. I approached them recently looking to add about ~5kw of additional...

No demand problem here… 🤔 https://www.tesla.com/models/design#overview Prices down significantly across the board…

This might be a goofy noob question but a bit of searching hasn't yielded a satisfying response, so... I have 2x Powerwall 2s and 7.5kw of solar in an "almost whole home" backup install. I have a 30 year old original to the home ancient AC unit that we're planning to replace this year but I'm...

Yesterday out of the blue my Powerwalls started discharging approx. 200-400 watts continuously to either the grid or my home loads. Doesn’t seem to make any difference what I set my reserve to or what mode I’m in, self-powered or time based control. I normally have my reserve set to 20% but...

I have a 25 foot NEMA 6-20 extension cord that I bought a few months ago to temporarily power a window AC unit from a generator. Don’t need it any more. 12awg conductors, might make a nice addition to someone’s charging kit. $20 shipped to a good home. It’s this one: Parkworld 885774 NEMA...

I have what might be a really stupid question but gotta ask anyway. I bought a set of front and rear swaybar end links for my Dec 2016 Model S75 RWD, using the part numbers from the EPC. Here's a diagram of the rear swaybar from the Tesla site: My question is - do all cars even HAVE a rear...

Wanted to pass on some info I received from my third party installer. Take it as you will. They were expecting delivery of my powerwalls from Tesla by the end of Feb, but their account manager at Tesla Energy told them today they are experiencing production delays due to the current global...

A family member of mine has been interested in Solar and I suggested they look seriously into Tesla given the recent price drops. Yesterday they sent me the proposed system design: Can anyone think of a good reason why Tesla is stacking the entire east facing section of roof with panels and...

I've spent the last 48 hours trying to understand this program and while I think I've learned a lot, I'm still all sorts of confused about some stuff. Maybe you fine folk can help me. :) In short, I've been planning to do Powerwalls in the next year or two, primarily for time shifting my solar...

Lots of 100k+ Model S running around these days, but not as many stories on the newer cars. I hit 100k on my December 2016 Model S 75 this past weekend, so I thought I'd recount my tale to date. The Good: Drive unit replacements: 0 Battery replacements: 0 Door handle replacements: 0 Times the...

Moderator note: The first two posts in this thread were moved from the thread for the Visalia Supercharger. Traver, CA just showed up on Tesla’s new supercharging map for 2020, just 8 miles up the road from this spot in Goshen. They must be one and the same? The Visalia pin is still there too...

My late 2016 Model S was one of the earlier cars to exhibit the infamous yellow ring on the 17” MCU screen. I had it replaced early on, right before my warranty expired, before the prevalence of the problem was really known. Now about a year and a half later, the replacement screen has once...

Lots of interest on this, figure it might be interesting to track the rollout and which configs are seeing what when.

Bit of an odd one here, honestly not sure how to price it. I am the original owner. As you can tell by the mileage, I drive a lot and efficiency is king, thus I’m considering a Model 3. Details: December 2016 Model S 75 RWD (originally delivered as software locked 60) ~90,000 miles Deep Blue...

https://electrek.co/2019/07/15/tesla-updates-pricing-options-model-s-x-3/ Guess that “owner loyalty” discount was short-lived after all. Hope nobody actually paid $20k for that...

Made the awesome mistake of parking near an oleander bush a few days ago, which drenched the front corner of my hood and quarter panel in micro droplets of sap. Washed today with some microfiber towels and Optimum No Rinse, which removed the bulk of the sap itself but the paint still looks...

Sorry if these are super noob questions - I’ve been doing a lot of reading in this forum but I think I’m still way over my head. In a nutshell - I live in a wildfire-prone are of California where the local utility has informed customers that they may proactively shut off power during periods...

There was some initial conversation about this in the Bakersfield thread, but I think this pretty much seals the deal. 2988 N Burl Ave, near Fowler and Shields. No clues on opening date yet, but seems fairly imminent.

...starting next week. NEMA 14-50 adapter no longer included with vehicles

Tesla deliveries fall—especially for high-end Model S and X The S/X is dead and can’t be refreshed soon enough. Even the massive price decreases don’t seem to be enticing new buyers. Now what? We all sorta saw this coming but less than half the deliveries of the prior quarter is way worse than...

Have a trip coming up over New Years from Fresno to Rancho Cucamonga area. Not so worried about heading down on the 29th but will be returning on New Year’s Day, will need to stop at least once on the way home. Debating whether or not to take the Tesla.

Searched around a bit but couldn't find any other reports of this... My Dec '16 MS all of a sudden stopped auto-presenting the door handles when I approach with the keyfob. The option is most definitely enabled in the settings (I've toggled it a few times), as well as rebooting both the IC and...

There has been a lot of discussion on this board about the higher than expected degradation of the 90kwh packs. I'm curious what other owners are experiencing with the 75kwh packs that were produced during the same time period. It appears they used the same cells, so it likely makes sense that...

Came across this article today about a 10-stall Supercharger being installed in the Del Monte Center: Tesla installing 10 Superchargers at Del Monte Center Didn't see a thread here or a pin on supercharge.info, thought I'd share.

I found these sorts of threads very useful and informative when I was window shopping, agonizing over options, and finally pulling the trigger, so I thought I'd take the time to write up my first service experience. I just hit 20,000 (!) miles on my Dec '16 S60, so I decided to schedule an...

I've seen a few active members from the Central Valley... wondering how you guys handle annual services or other service needs? I drive a lot, live in the foothills near Fresno and work in Merced. Took delivery of my car in December, already approaching the 12.5k service interval (which I'm...

Set of 19" Slipstream wheels taken off Dec. 2016 MS at 2,000 miles. Includes center caps. One wheel has some light markings on the spoke nearest the valve stem. See pic below. They're boxed up and ready to ship for actual shipping cost from ZIP 95343. Alternatively I'll meet you for delivery...

Well that didn't take long. Saw/heard it happen on the freeway, pretty good sized rock and a startlingly loud smack. Thought I dodged a bullet (or a rock I guess) because I couldn't see any obvious damage from inside the car, but found this once I got home. Looks like a good candidate for...

Set of 19" Slipstream wheels taken off Dec. 2016 MS at 2,000 miles. Includes center caps. One wheel has some light markings on the spoke nearest the valve stem. See pic below. $1,000. Strongly prefer local pick up, will meet at a NorCal Supercharger in the Fresno, Sacramento, or East Bay area...
