    Waiting on word for a High Voltage Battery issue

    Not sure where that is. Looking under the car I don't see a label. I have a remanufactured part# on receipt

    Waiting on word for a High Voltage Battery issue

    The receipt shows a battery replacement "LV Battery". I could be wrong but I was thinking the LV meant Lithium. I did not talk to service rep. about it.

    Cybertruck is a scam.

    I'll just wait a year or more for bugs and issues to be fixed. But yes, Tesla will sell to the wealthy and Youtubers with an inflated price. Capitalism at it's worst.

    Waiting on word for a High Voltage Battery issue

    Only alert I received was a "low voltage battery". No warnings prior or any indication at all that the battery pack had an issue. Tesla initially was going to send mobile repair but then called me stating it was HV battery. Weird. I was advised a 90 kwh would not be compatible. Picked the...

    Waiting on word for a High Voltage Battery issue

    So, it turns out I DO need a new battery pack. Service rep. states 10 days at least and most likely WILL be a 75kwh replacement I'm sure it's a reconditioned one. Of course i only know this because we had a 50 degree January day here, a great day for riding the motorcycle ! It is impossible...

    Waiting on word for a High Voltage Battery issue

    August 2016 Model S refresh . Waiting on word for a High Voltage Battery issue. ALert said "car may not restart" so I drove home before shutting down. Low voltage alert bricked the car and I was thinking I need a new 12v battery after 7+ years of use. No big deal right? Looked into doing it...

    Cybertruck

    I wanted to hold on to my 2016 Model S until getting the truck but, too long. Love the car but re-sale is pretty good still. Just can't seem to pull the trigger on selling. Knowing Tesla production will just keep getting pushed back

    Owners delivery stories, photos and first impressions

    Yes I remember getting the full tour and happy, respectful sales people in 2016. Time moves on and not knocking Tesla, ya just can't give the personal touch as much to millions of sales. When I bought mine I think they were still in the low 100,000's of sales. I was usually alone at most SPC's...

    Thoughts after test driving Ioniq 5 from a Model 3 LR owner...

    To me it's all in the SUPERCHARGER network. Jaguar, Hyundai, Ford etc... probably have nicer interiors IMHO and I am not loyal to Tesla, though I have had good experiences at my local service center. (before the 3 and Y took over ) :) But I need the superchargers if I want to travel, which I...

    DIY Front Parking sensor repair

    Thanks for the write-up. I am fixing mine next week and assumed I would be removing the bumper. I'll try this first. Same thing happened to me. Tire debris struck the front bumper knocking the sensor inside the bumper. I can feel the sensor and clip which appears to be intact. I have spent all...

    Why so few SW updates for my 2016 Model S

    Safety score? My S is 5 1/2 years old. Never heard of this

    Why so few SW updates for my 2016 Model S

    I had my chip replaced. No real changes. I asked about my slow start-up time and SC stated the new chip would fix it. It did NOT. I love my 2016 75D and have just lived with cold feet in Winter. Floor heat SUCKS! I turn up the fan and open a window. :) Selling is on my mind off/on.

    Sell my 2016 Model S or not....

    I have recently been going back/forth in my mind about selling my model S which I have had for 5 years + now. I do NOT want a 3 or Y or spend over 100K on another S. I LOVE the car, a 75D but maybe i've had my fun with it. It's past it's warranty and 3 years left on the battery is a selling...

    Wiki Consolidated eMMC Thread (MCU repair) (Black Center Screen)

    I didn't know there was an aftermarket fix. I'm waiting on Tesla to advise me they have the part........Emmc chip. Out of stock everywhere apparently. I'm on "the list" to be called ( 2nd in line according to Syosset service center). The problems though are really starting to annoy the hell...

    Don't bother. Elon probably gets 1000 Tweets a day just from unhappy customers attempting to BUY a Tesla thru Pre-owned program. After all this time they are STILL terrible at PR and customer support :mad::mad:

    12V battery. "Will I ever buy another Tesla? Guess."

    No, I don't see Pep Boys or any other auto parts store "installing" in a Tesla. It's not easy, at least compared to an ICE. One other Q: The 12v battery is the same as any other car isn't it?

    2016 Model S 90D vs Model Y

    This is a standard question since the 3 came out. Personally, I test drove the 3 and the ride quality clinched it for me. Keep the S. I'm interested in the Y and maybe will look closer next year but for now? Love the S! :) You MUST test drive both. The S has a lot more cargo capacity then it...

    Tesla Referral Program

    Good point on the referrals. I mentioned a while back to Model3 owners channel which I think now is Teslaownersoonline or something (stopped watching) that the excess referrals cheapened his content to me. He was respectful but argued he does free advertising and information for Tesla w/o Tesla...

    Every day the media says "Trump lies"! w/o giving an example. I prefer to make up my own mind with better sources. Is he perfect? far from it. But man, his policies are my policies! I agree with maybe 85% of his policies and am happy to see someone with the balls to implement them.

    The fit and finish on these cars is GARBAGE!

    Oh, I totally agree. My left fender was off, sunroof rubber stuck up (fixed) and hatch was off. Having said that, I love this car and would not trade it for anything else. 70k miles and counting

    The fit and finish on these cars is GARBAGE!

    I agree. Tesla has way too many problems with fit and finish. I just accepted it on my S as part of doing business with Tesla. I have had several new cars over time. GMC, Chevy, Lexus and Jeep. NEVER had a fit/finish issue

    Keep my Model S or get a Model Y?

    Same boat er...... car. Don't use it as a boat. :) I love the S and since I bought out the lease I can wait until I'm ready for the Y. Most likely buy one next year after initial bugs are straightened out. This will also give me the luxury of others doing the R&D :) But man, that 2020...
