Just wanted to share my experience with a 2024 Model 3 SR that I left at a park and fly for about a week with sentry mode on. I had about 220-230 miles of range when I parked it and I didn't check it until the day before we came back from vacation which is about 6 days. To my surprise, I only...

Hey gang, I've only purchased used Teslas before but I decided to go ahead and put a deposit down on a Y a few days ago. I ordered it through the website like a total noob and didn't use my own referral code via the app. I thought there would be a place to put my referral code when I ordered...

Hey all, visiting from the S and 3 forums. Wanted to ask if the standard range MY comes with a LFP battery rated for 279 miles and if the MYLR has the standard battery rated for 330 miles? I believe that's how the current M3 RWD and M3 AWD are set up? Or is the battery in the standard range...

Coming from the S forum, my 2015 85D w/ 84k miles will run out of HV battery warranty in Sept. Roll the dice or switch it up? VIN is 100xxx and one thing I learned from this forum is anything above 70xxx VIN has a more robust HV battery but you never know. Free SC and free connectivity. Test...

Tesla gave me an offer of ~$15k for my 2015 Model S 85D with 83k miles on it. I am looking into a new Model Y. KBB lists it for $20-25k. Go with the Tesla offer or look for a local used Model Y at a non-Tesla dealership? I have purchased two used Model S both from Tesla over the last 6 years.

Hey all, My 2015 85D will no longer have the battery warranty this fall. Options are to keep and eventually buy a new battery or switch up to a model 3. Looking at used 3's that are AWD (performance or not) and would like to get one with FSD to experience what all the fuss is about. If I buy...

Hi all, looking for clips for the black plastic cowl just above the instrument cluster. Here is an ebay link to the part with all the clips but I only need the clips and the clips I am finding online are all the wrong size...

Hey gang, I've been reading that some people have been having that delicious smell of vinegar coming from their vents when initially getting into their car and after a few min of driving it seems to go away. Tesla wants to charge me $250 + tax to deodorize the A/C system. Is this the way to...

Hi all, I leave my 85D parked outside and charge it via 240V. The outlet for the charger is inside the garage so that stays dry but the plug into the car gets wet from the rain since the car is a few feet away from the garage and uncovered. Does anyone leave the car outside and plugged in...

Any word if they can retrofit existing Model 3's for the so called redundant wiring or if they will only be available on a future model?

I use an extension cord. I think some water got into the seam as the garage door was opening. That’s my only thought on how this happened. Everything still works fine so all I did was move the connection right against the wall away from any water drops that may drip from the garage door. Do...

I tried rebooting the big screen a couple of times to try to "push" the update but that didn't work. Any other ideas to get the most recent update rather than going to a service center?

In light of the supercharger price hikes, I have the option of taking my 2015 85D or an ICE suv. Is supercharging still free for those of us with older Model S cars? Will we get charged idling fees at superchargers if the car is at full charge? Would it make more sense just to drive an ICE on...

Not sure if this has happened to anyone, but when I go to unplug my car, I don’t get the light blue light right away. Instead, it takes a second for it to turn light blue and if you don’t remove it IMMEDIATELY it locks the charging cable again. So I have to tug on it steadily so that when the...

Quick question: I know in some states you can get a tax credit on your trade-in. If you decide not to trade the car in and sell it privately instead (or sell to Carmax), can you still claim that tax credit for selling the car (i.e. claim it on your tax return) or does the potential credit just...

I picked up a CPO 2013 S85 in the fall of 2017 with the idea of having it for a year or two and then moving on to a Model 3 or another CPO Model S. I have a very early build (6xxx) and am missing things like parking sensors and auto fold mirrors which I did not know were missing until I took...

There may be a thread on this already so you can link this post to it if that's the case. I was holding off on the Model 3 until the AWD versions came out. It looks like I will already be missing out on an incentive (WA state sales tax incentive) before that happens. With all the incentives...

Trading in a CPO model S (with a 2 yr warranty) for a model 3 may not be the best idea but not a bad idea either...

Hey all, I've been a Leaf owner since Oct 2014 and have been looking at the Model S since 2015. When Tesla had their (secret?) firesale in June, I just happened to check their inventory a week or so after the initial date of the firesale so missed out on the really good deals. I put a deposit...
