    Are your door handles noisy?

    I recently took delivery of a new Model S and I have it set to fold the mirrors when locking. The handles are set to automatically present upon unlock. When the vehicle unlocks, my mirrors unfold and the handles pop out making a loud whirring noise. Do your cars do this too?

    Getting Car out of Park NOob Question

    I picked up a Model Y today. Before I left the SC for my virgin voyage, I paired my phone with the vehicle. Before I could shift out of park, I had to get out my key card and place it in back of my cup holders. Why? I put the car in park at a red light to enable the lane-centering beta, and...

    Can I ask Tesla to change my referral powerwall to powerwall+?

    I have a question. Tesla is now ready to ship my Founder Series Powerwall after all the delays. Should I ask for the newer model? In a way, it’s like being awarded a 2017 car and it being delivered in 2021. What are your thoughts?

    I am Missing my Tesla :-(

    I recently returned my Model X and bought a Subaru Ascent Touring. My lease was up and there wasn’t a compelling reason to buy a new one. The Ascent is half the price of the Model X, but of course, it’s not electric. Another reason that I purchased the Subaru was the excellent safety ratings...

    Buying a M3P Demonstrator

    I am debating buying a demonstrator at the last minute. it has a VIN of 55XXX, and about 900 miles. The discount is only 25 cents a mile. I know where it is located, and it's in my State. I was just at the store over the weekend, but didn't pay any attention to the cars as I was just charging my...

    Inventory of Model 3 available to Tesla staff

    I stopped at a Tesla Store (mall) and today is the first time I spoke with an employee with access to the Model 3 inventory across the country. I think the inventory access was just released to more employees. I don't know if a last minute rush to pick up an inventory car is right for me, but...

    I accidentally ordered a Model 3!

    I have been contemplating buying a Model 3 for months. Since prices have changed, I decided to build a few options. I reserved one about a year ago. I stupidly logged into Tesla. First I built a basic black LR RWD. Next I build a silver Dual Motor with white interior and 19 inch wheels. Next...

    What's my best option for getting a M3 by November?

    i reserved about a year ago and lease a Model X. My lease is up in November. I can afford to buy any trim. I don't need AWD. I'd prefer the white interior, but would take black. I'm paying cash. I don't mind getting the M3 earlier than November. I've had good luck with my Model X, but don't...

    Minor Accident.

    I just recently had a minor accident in a parking lot. I've been to the Tesla authorized body shop in my region. I'll need a new front bumper cover and some chrome pieces. The total estimate is about $3,600. I'm told the bumper arrives "raw," and has to be primed and painted. The fenders are...

    Software Update for AP 1.0

    I had my Model X in for service today and was updated to version 8.0 (2.48.82). I'm not sure of the enhancements.

    Electrical breaker getting warm

    The other day I was charging my Model X with the UMC and NEMA 14-50 outlet that I installed at home. I think I was charging at 40 amps. We noticed a buzzing sound coming from the electrical panel. I could also feel heat coming off the closed panel. I unplugged the charger and the buzzing...

    Setting Falcon Wing Doors to Fully Open

    i took delivery of my Tesla yesterday and later in the day was showing the X to my neighbor. I had the car in the driveway. When I opened the falcon wing doors (FWD), they only opened to 3/4 height. I don't have any trees nearby. I was able to go to my touchscreen and open the door fully. I...

    Love it or Leave it?

    i went and looked at my X90D today. I ordered the ultra-white upholstery. The X hadn't been detailed yet for delivery, but it was washed. The build quality looked good. I looked at gaps and alignment of the doors and chrome. I was pleased. I' reserved a 24 month lease. The reason that I'm...

    Range with MX90D

    What range can I expect with a 90D? I drive 75mph on the highway and always have the a/c running. I'm in Florida. I'm a conservative driver. I ordered the 20 inch wheels. Thanks!

    Waiting Anxiety

    I ordered a X90D two days ago, and am in my 7 day cooling-off period. This morning I drank two cold ones (diet soda) while reviewing the new posts on Tesla Motors Club. I didn't leave for work until 11 am. On the way to work, I heard a stock trader recommend shorting Tesla and Solar City. :eek...

    Cold feet. Help me decide

    I am worried by all the posts on troubles with the Model X. I don't want to worry about ghosting or hitting people with my FWD. I really would like surround view cameras to assist in parking the beast. I really don't even need a SUV. I just like it's cool (irksome) features. The MX is less...

    Interior storage in Model X

    I'm embarrassed to admit that I forgot to look at the interior storage during my test drives. Are there front door pockets? Does the center console have storage? I'm considering a six seater.
