Unfortunately, no photos. I just happened to be driving by and noticed construction was well underway.

Confirmed - Site was under construction today. Fences are in place and a trench has been dug. There was a fairly large team there working today.

By process of elimination, I believe the noise is just the front wheel bearings wearing out. The car has 154k miles now and the noise is still present but has not gotten worse. I'm planning to sell my Model S in July 2024 just prior to the 8yr unlimited mile powertrain & battery warranty...

Obviously there are many factors that determine when a battery pack fails (i.e. age of pack, amount of DC fast charging, factory defect, etc.), but for those who had your high voltage pack replaced on Model S, I was just curious how many miles you had when the replacement was necessary. Select...

Utility transformer install is complete, but no meter yet...

Utility transformer installation is being installed today

Construction appears to be complete, but missing the utility transformer. Pad is poured for the utility transformer, but it hasn't been installed yet,

Hi Everyone, I have a 2016.5 (refresh) Model S with RWD and a 75kW pack and with around 121k miles on the odometer. Recently I started hearing a low-pitched noise at speeds above 35MPH. Can anyone help me identify what the cause could be (i.e. Drive Unit, tires rubbing on something, etc.)? A...

No changes as of 5/25/2021. Property is cleared, but no construction started.

Work appears to be starting. Heavy Equipment is present today starting to work on the site. Pic is from my office window... look two blocks out on the right side...

Same here - "Sign-In Failed - There are no products linked to your Tesla account"

They have VIN 343169 listed for sale right now... 2019 Model S | Tesla

I changed my Goodyear Eagle Touring tires at 31k, but could have safely driven about 3-4k more miles.

It can be purchased from EDR Auto in France - the cost is 29,90 € which is about $34.57 US dollars. Delivery from France took about 5 days.

Yes, this unit is designed only for Model S w/ AP1. There are other versions for AP2 that have been reviewed in this forum. Yes, the camera can easily slide in/out of the mount, but is sturdy enough to stay stationary even during heavy acceleration / braking / cornering.

That's good feedback on your adhesive mounts working well. I saw a couple youtube videos suggesting otherwise, so I decided to take the physical mount approach. Also, I think the end-result has a more "factory-look" to it. Someone who's not familiar with Model S might not even notice this is...

I recently installed a BlackVue DR900S-2CH in my Model S w/ AP1. Rather than using the adhesive mount (which I suspect wouldn't last long due to the hot summers here in Florida), I purchased a new 3d printed mount from EDR Auto out of France. The quality and fit seem great so far, and I...

I have one on order with a 128GB card. Will update with pics once installed.

I got 0.75% for 36 months on my Model S (0.89% APR) from Fairwinds Credit Union. They still offer this rate now - Stop paying too much in interest.

Electricians are actively working on the Altamonte Supercharger this morning.

I haven’t seen much discussion on this topic lately, so I was curious to get everyone’s thoughts. The NHTSA is apparently requiring all EVs and hybrid vehicle manufactures to design their vehicles to make sufficient noise to ensure that blind, visually impaired, and other pedestrians are able...

Think this is mainly for sizing the frunk mat. In pre-refresh Model S, the frunk size varies depending on if you had single or dual motor.

Things to feel good about Slower acceleration in your S75 should result in your tires lasting longer. Less likely to get ticketed by the police in a slower car At least you don’t have a Model S 40 which had 0-60 performance of 6.5 sec, or the pre-refresh 60 with 0-60 of 5.9

I drove by today, 1/1/18, still not in service.

I have a 2016 Model S 75 with OEM Goodyear 19” tires. Still in good shape after 27k mikes. No abnormal wear and probably about 5k miles of tread remaining.

I believe there were multiple Model S VIN #1 vehicles. Founders edition #1 and Signature Edition #1 are a couple examples discussed every now and then...

When I drive my Corvette nearly every other Corvette owner on the road waves. I haven't found anything like this in my Tesla. Just the occasional thumbs-up from pedestrians here in central Florida.

I purchased an S60 during the sweet spot between June-Nov 2016 when the base price was $66k. After the $1k referral discount and $7.5k tax credit the base price becomes only $57.5k for a brand new Tesla! The only options I added were AP1 for $2.5k and red paint for $1.5k. Best decision of my...

The Sonny’s BBQ in Greenacres, FL has two Tesla HPWC’s and that restaurants is about 96 miles away from the Sonny’s BBQ in question. Obviously it's not a supercharger in Greenacres, FL, but at least there’s a Sonny’s BBQ / Tesla relationship somewhat nearby...

I've used both Autotrader and eBay motors to sell a previous ICE vehicle. It ultimately sold through eBay Motors. No hassles or issues at all. The buyer paid $10.5k in cash and never even saw it in person or test drove it. He also arranged his own shipping across the country and left me...

Fairwinds Credit Union, where I financed my Model S in July 2016, still has 36 month new or used (2014+) auto financing for 0.75% (0.89% APR). Although their field of membership is mostly limited to Central Florida residents, it's still possible to become a member by joining Orlando City Soccer...

Base price for a brand new Model S 60kW with zero options is $68k in the USA. After the $1k referral credit brings the price down to $67k, then after the federal tax credit of $7.5k your price goes down to $59.5k. If your state has additional state-level tax credits, then it would be even...

The answer to your question is somewhat dependent on your time horizon. If you typically own new cars for 2-3 years before selling / trading-in, then you’ll be hurt by depreciation regardless of the outcome of M3. If you plan to own your Model S for 8 years (the length of the powertrain /...

Even an S60 with no options is a super nice vehicle. With no options you’d be at $68k - $1k referral discount - $7.5k tax credit = $59.5k. Then you’re never buying gas again, never getting oil changes again, never buying brakes again, never worry about motor or battery failure for the 8 year /...

I use a Sunpass portable transponder in Central Florida (basically the same tech as E-Pass) and haven't had any issues in my past 8 months of ownership with mounting it on the windshield behind the rear view mirror (out of sight). My car is a 2016 refreshed Model S w/ AP1.

Yes, July 2016 delivery in Orlando, FL here... it took about 4-5 months to get a check from Tesla for the difference back. It was a nice surprise when it arrived in the mail.

The SpaceX online shop has a nice frame with the same metallic finish as the Tesla vehicle trim right above the license plate area. Here's a picture of mine.

I’m super pissed about the speed limitations of the 8.0 update from a few months ago, they’re absolutely ridiculous and I wish I could go backwards to 7.x. I will not accept any new updates going forward, which is a horrible shame because I will also be forgoing any new innovation unrelated to...

Sorry, actually no increase yet. Started looking a P100d in configuration, then selected S60 and saw $2.5k increase. It actually selected air suspension automatically because it was standard on P100d... raising price by 2.5k

I see a $2500 increase on S60 here on the East coast now. Base is now $68,500 + delivery.

I financed my Model S through Fairwinds Credit Union in Central Florida. They have a 36-month new car financing special that has to be the best in the country. It's 0.75% (0.89% APR) for 36 month, plus no payments for 90 days. In addition, when you receive your $7500 tax credit, if you...

The person I spoke with at Fairwinds had experience recently financing other Teslas, so it went smoothly. My purchase order PDF showed up in the MyTesla portal about 3 days before delivery, I sent a copy to Fairwinds and they gave me the cashier's check the next day. I walked into the Tesla...

I financed my Model S w/ FAIRWINDS Credit Union. They currently have 36 month auto loans at 0.75% (0.89% APR), Plus 90 days with no payments. I haven't seen anything better than this anywhere in the country. Give them a call if you're eligible to be a member. New car smell starting at .89%

If you are eligible to join Fairwinds Credit Union in Central Florida, they currently have 36 month new car loans for 0.89% plus 90 days with no payments. More info here: New car smell starting at .89%

Anything's possible, but I suspect it will stay around for the foreseeable future. The S60 is a good fit (in terms of price) for customers interested in M3 but don't want to wait until 2018. Base price for S60 is currently $66k - $1k referral credit = $65k, so after the federal tax credit the...

Also, the Naples Grande Beach Resort's web site states: The resort offers three complimentary Tesla charging stations for guests who would like to charge their vehicles during their stay.These stations are located in P2 garage (First garage as your enter the resort driveway)...

I was actually just thinking about this in the context of standard overnight charging, not supercharging or destination charging since I certainly agree with your "time wasting" comment. I would think if there are no restrictions for daily 100% charging, and given that long-term battery health...

I'm curious... With Tesla offering short (2-year) leases for Model S & Model X, what's to stop someone from leasing a Model S or Model X and charging to 100% every day regardless of long-term damage to the pack? Is there any language in the lease agreement that prohibits this? If not, this...

I have a removable all-glass roof panel in my other car (Corvette), so I opted to skip it on my Model S. For me there hasn't been a time (yet) when I've wished it was there in the Model S. When my wife and I want to enjoy beautiful weather with a glass roof (or no roof at all) we just fire up...

I doubt you'll see a Tesla Supercharger in Naples, FL when one already exists 30 miles north in Ft. Myers, FL. Also no mention of a Naples, FL supercharger on the Tesla Supercharger future sites map @ Tesla.com.
