    Front Lights Stay On (Faint) - Normal?

    It’s not normal. I had a mobile service technician out for something else and mentioned it to him. He had never seen it and did some research and he said it’s a known issue that will be addressed in a software update.

    New Service Center in Chicagoland!

    Yes it is the Tesla body shop. It replaces the body shop in Villa Park, and looks to be the size of an airplane hangar. Very impressively laid out with stations to keep work moving. It also included a large parts warehouse. Once they staff it to capacity it will handle a ton of cars - the...

    New Service Center in Chicagoland!

    That’s great news! I’m near the Westmont center and it is constantly swamped - this will alleviate some of the problem. Hopefully none of you have occasion to visit the new body shop in Elk Grove village but I can tell you first hand it is massive.

    Headlight Glare Issue

    Get them aimed (if that's what you mean by recalibrate). I took mine in and asked them to raise the beams because I felt they were too low. After that, almost everyone flashed their high beams at me. Took it back to SC and asked them to lower the beams again. Now it's fine.

    Tax Bill and EV Tax Credit Discussion

    Hopeful sign - I am currently attending a tax conference and according to one of the speakers the current word is that reconciliation between the House and Senate versions may not be a reconciliation at all but rather a full adoption of the Senate version.

    Multiple NEMA 14-50

    I have two NEMA 14-50s in my garage because I didn't know which way I'd end up parking my S. The additional cost for the second outlet was minimal. I'm about to convert them to Wall Connectors in anticipation of our 3 because the Connectors talk to each other and my breaker couldn't handle...

    Wiki Model 3 delivery estimator

    UPDATE: I found out that I was not counted as an S owner in Tesla's internal system, even though the MyTesla page accurately reflected both my S purchase and 3 reservation. This is because my son used my email address and phone number as his contact information. Tesla will be merging the two...

    Software locked 75kWh?

    I have a 2016 S75 which I bought as a software locked S70 and upgraded to the 75, and I have a reservation for a model 3. In the documents section of mytesla, the upgrade to 75kWh invoice is listed in the documents for the S, but ALSO in the documents section for the model 3. I wonder if this...

    Caution: TESLA caused me to leave my rental car running for 5 hours.

    I've done it a couple times with our ICE (waiting for the 3 to get rid of it and be all electric). It has a push button start, as long as the fob is in my pocket, which makes it real easy to get out without thinking about either the fob or the engine. The first time I did it I could see the...

    CPO - 2014 S85 vs 2014 P85

    Thank you all for your responses! They're very helpful. I should have given more detail - my son is 33 and buying it for himself - I'm just trying to help him make his decision :)

    CPO - 2014 S85 vs 2014 P85

    My wife and I own a 2016 S75 and love it. Our son is considering a CPO 2014 S85 with 20k miles or a CPO 2014 P85 with 40k miles. We would appreciate any insight anyone can give regarding which may hold its value better going forward. Neither car has AP1. Also, for those that have driven both...

    70 to 75 Who upgraded?

    I upgraded. Had my car down to 7 miles remaining one day during the winter due to some unforeseen circumstances and thought about upgrading - the reduction to $500 made it a no brainier.

    75 price cut and 60 upgrade follows!!

    I bought a 70 just before the 60 came back as a software limited 75. My 70 is also a software limited 75. My upgrade to 75 from 70 just went to $500 from $3,250, Clicked to buy.

    My outdated 2016 Model S

    Bought my S70 in June. Couldn't be happier, and couldn't care less about "missing out" on AP2. I got exactly what I paid for and am happy that Tesla used some of the money they made from me to continue innovating and bringing M3 to market.

    The reasonably* priced Model S

    Just trying to point out to the OP (and anyone else considering a D vs RWD) that some of us here have found the front motor whine to be bothersome. Not because there is a sound, or that it is noticeable, but because the sound itself can be annoying. There is a certain pitch that 4 out of 5 D...

    The reasonably* priced Model S

    The whine that bothered me from the front motor was at low speeds - usually between 30-40 mph. My rwd is virtually silent.

    The reasonably* priced Model S

    Just my 2 cents since you are still in the change period: test drive a couple different vehicles if possible - I foumd the front motor whine on several vehicles I test drove problematic. I was all set to order the D and was able to take a car overnight and found the front motor whine at...

    Should I pull the trigger?

    I usually have buyers remorse after large purchases - but absolutely not even a hint of buyers remorse with my S. For what it's worth I got the air suspension and am very pleased with it.

    Premium Upgrades Package-About to Order!

    Firmware 7.1

    I received notification for my first update on my 3 week old car yesterday just an hour after driving past a service center. In fact the service center was 1/2 block from the street on which I was driving. This may be a coincidence of course, but it sure feels like my "drive by" triggered a...

    Falcon Crunch 2 - The Obstacle Strikes Back

    I both chuckled and cringed when I read the title of your thread. Then I did the same when reading your post. Title is perfect. Your attitude is too. Good luck with the fix. I'm either informed or amused by many of your posts - sometimes both at the same time.

    Dash Cam in Refreshed MS

    I have a refreshed RWD and had a dash cam professionally installed. They used fuse 120 which I verified with my service center as being unused by my car and good to use for the dash cam. My camera switches to park mode automatically.

    Do you know your VIN?

    Picked up my car June 9. Went to my SC yesterday for a minor issue and when the manager started out the door saying he needed to get the last 6 digits of my VIN I told him no need and rattled it off. So yeah, Tesla "youngster" here knows his VIN.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Hah. I'm picking up my classic S70 today at 2! Actually, I feel pretty lucky. I ordered before the refresh and price increase and am getting the refresh. So really, I saved $4,500 over the configuration I would get if I ordered today. I don't need the 75 over the 70 but can always add it later.
