Is this something I can adjust or does it have to be a tech?

Mine was replaced under the 8-year battery warranty, no cost out of pocket.

I had to replace the lift gate on my 2016 Model S. They also replaced the shocks. The hatch doesn't go high enough. I had the body shop try an adjust it, they said they could not. So I looked up how to do it and I replicated the steps with no success. 1. Raise hatch to desired height. 2. Hold...

I called about this warning yesterday and was told it would be covered under my 8 year battery warranty. Repair isn't until late December, hope they are right.

Key fob is hanging by the door to the house. I will bring it inside for a week or so.

2016, no sentry mode available.

My car is a 2016 so no sentry mode available. The 12 volt battery was replaced once under warranty when it showed up as bad. I have it in energy saving mode and I don't ping it with request.

As an update. Yes I rarely drive, I am retired. I charged my S to 81% on November 29. For the next six days it was not driven and the charger was attached to my wife's Kia Soul EV because she drove it a few times over that time period. Last night I attached the charger to the S and this morning...

I am not replacing it because of it, I am shopping cars and the drain is a mark against. It almost feels like there is something wrong with it, even when the garage is 72 degrees it is humming and making noises.

My main complaint about my S is phantom drain. It loses about a percent a day while in my garage. My wife's Kia Soul EV, by contrast, sits at 80% charged for weeks. Does anyone have phantom drain experience with the newer EV models hitting the road? Particularly the Mustang Mach E.

Wow what luck, heading down from NH to Mohegan (staying in New London) one week from this SC's opening day. Always a bit of planning involved going there prior to this SC opening. Have to get enough juice in Auburn to make it back because there is no guarantee that the chargers at Mohegan will...

Used this location yesterday for the first time ever, couldn't charge at the first two stalls I tried. Third gave me 4 Kw. Eventually got up to around 48 after the station thinned out a bit. Worst SC experience I have ever had.

The portion about referrals is a completely separate sentence at the end of the statement that I have free Supercharging for life and all future purchases. This is bait and switch and removes any incentive I have to buy a new S until this one is run into the ground. BTW: Superchargers in this...

Once upon a time at My Tesla it said I would have free supercharging for any new S or X I ever bought. Now that is gone and says free for the car I own. Besides being a horrible incentive to not buy a new car what is going on here?

I was on my way to Dedham the other day and didn't even bother to check the status of the SC on the map. Turns out they have basically crippled this SC and said it is because they are having 100s of Model 3s come through every week and need it to charge them. I was getting 54 kw.

Across the line I think there should be GPS aware autolocking. If I am in my garage I don't want it to lock.

I was an electrician in the Navy for 8 years. If I was still working as one I would also tell you to hire me to do it to code like they are. This is nonsense. As long as you air on the side of caution using an extension cord is fine. A 50' long extension cord isn't much different that running...

I started a conversation with you about them.

In regards to my previous post, my daytime running lights are not working because the car was in Range Mode. Don't know how that happened.

Here is my experience with the two latest updates, 2018.14 and 2018.14.2 which rolled out very quickly after the first update. 1. After 2018.14 I started getting push notifications on my iPhone Tesla app that my charge cord was not securely fastened. I tried it with both my wife's J1772 with...

1. Navigation 2. Inability to turn off bluetooth so car keeps stealing my iPhone connection when I don't want it to.

My 18 month old refreshed 75D gave me a 12v battery error message. It was replaced for free under warranty by a "ranger" who came to my home for a previously scheduled console problem. Timing worked out great. He said I had the old generation battery and my new one is the newer version. As...

I got my invite yesterday (1/4). I ordered the 3 online as soon as it opened up. I saved my place is line. I probably won't get it, I love my S and my wife loves her Kia Soul EV which is way better for her shopping excursions than the small trunk opening of the 3. She was able to get a fully...

I would love to see his Supercharger bill when he is finished.

If you have the updated firmware I think you just have to assume Tesla knows when to heat the battery and when not to.

I see that on 12/9 this went into permit stage. Seems like the time from that to online varies considerably.

Crazy me looking in the forum devoted to charging.

Oh I don't know, why don't you tell me.

$12 an hour, that's not expensive? $24 to fully charge a 75 or 100 kWh model.

I see that there are now 8 Superchargers at The Pru. As soon as someone uses them can you post your experience. Do you have to pay for parking in able to access the SC's? Thanks

When I release my frunk it was pops up like normal but the second latch doesn't open. I figured out how to move it so I can get in. Kinda like a normal engine hood works. I see there are two cables, the front latch cable moves but the rear one (the cable on right) doesn't. Any one else have this...

No way, I don't even think we will have the new browser kernel by the end of the year. Elon is horrible at managing expectations. Example, announced in April the semi will be unveiled in September. Why? Apple sends out invites to journalist a week out. Why not do the same? Elon should stop...

What if the batteries aren't in the cab but in the trailer itself? Then Tesla builds trailer depots where drivers (or the trucks themselves) drive into the depot. He/she/it then deposit a trailer with depleted batteries and picks up a trailer with a full charge. The truck then continues on to a...

The extended warranty does say it wouldn't apply if you have been driving for Uber. Of course if you haven't bought it that is no problem. If you have it is very unlikely that Tesla will find out. And if you are considering buying it you can just put your $4250 in the bank and between it and...

Disregard, spoke too soon. After working great it is back to going down to 30 amps. False alarm.

Sorry title is wrong, Mobile Charger now working. My refreshed 75D has been unable to charge at it's full amperage capability since I received it (at home anyway). I have it on a 40 amp breaker and set it up at 32 amps. Every time I used it the Model S would say something is wrong with my...

You can't say that, color is subjective. I don't like dark wheels on any car but I understand somebody else loving them. If we all liked the same things it would be a boring world.

New Hampshire must not care. In fact I reported my last one lost and they sent me a new one for less than $9 and said nothing about me losing it.

I recommend you spray paint your EZ Pass black. I did it and it looks much better and works great. Take a piece of tape and place it over the bar code first then do it. Peel off the tape and install.

Ordered aluminum pedals from this company and they just arrived. Less than $51 with free shipping. Ordered 8/20. Arrived from China today 9/3. They look good and were easy to install. You literally pop the brake pedal off and put this one on. The accelerator goes over the existing one. They...

Some people are put off by the fact that they include the bigger battery but don't let you use it. That is a silly position. If they said "OK, you can have it for free" then they would never sell another 75. Tesla thinks out of the box and does things Detroit would never do. If you were on the...

Can't you just get your butler to keep them straight for you?

But there is no reason to tease the blog post. By doing so, and failing to deliver, it just adds to his reputation of promising things he can't deliver on time.

As dramatic as the front end damage is, the passenger side door looks like it took the most potentially lethal blow. I am so glad all are well!

Agreed, I have a two month old 75D, short of it being $50,000 I am not in the market for any new car.

I think between the $4000 and a $200 deductible per issue, leaves plenty of padding for Tesla to not loose money on an extended warranty. I have decided to purchase both. I want to keep this car 8 years and with my mileage I know it will not cost me another penny between now and then. I have a...

That is my plan, I just hope they pre-announce any price increase on the extended warranty. I have over 3.5 years left and I know it will go up by then.

I just can't believe the stupidity of people. Autopilot is a great fail safe for looking down to change the radio station, grab your coffee, etc. Not for cleaning your screen.

Was it a Tesla demo X or did a fellow attendee let you drive theirs?

I RSVP'd for the Road Trip stop in Westerly tomorrow. New to the Tesla family so I don't know what to expect. Anyone ever been to one of these type events?
