    Tesla has ruined me for life...

    So the deal with my charging situation at my condo is this: Before I leased the car, my condo property manager said getting power at my spot wouldn't be a problem. After signing the lease, 5 electricians confirmed lack of electrical infrastructure to support an additional circuit. It wasn't my...

    Tesla has ruined me for life...

    Thanks for the input, everyone. I do truly appreciate it! ;) The recommendations are great. I've considered Audi, BMW, Lexus and Volvo. I had high hopes for the Acura but that didn't pan out, unfortunately. @Brettski - You're absolutely right about car buying being a personal experience... I...

    Tesla has ruined me for life...

    So, my 3-year lease on my Model S ends July 7, 2019. In preparation, I've begun looking for a replacement vehicle. Unfortunately, I cannot get another all-electric EV as I don't have a place to charge at my condo (LONG story). So having a Model S the past 3 years have been an absolute living...

    Autopilot issue

    Hi everyone, I took my Model S in for it's 2-year annual service a month ago. After picking it up, my AP started doing something very strange. Upon engaging AP on the freeway, the car immediately pulls to the very left of the lane and rides on the lane markings for a few seconds before slowly...

    Leasing - Is yearly maintenance required?

    Thanks for the replies, everyone. I really appreciate it. I went ahead and had the 2 year service performed this weekend (picked my car up today, actually) and paid the $725. I thought "What the hell.... I don't pay for oil changes or anything other than electricity so, might as well." I didn't...

    US Bank end of Lease

    I just read this entire thread from the very first post until the very last and was curious how the end of your lease played out. :-)

    Model S Leasing & Required Service

    I have the same question as the verbiage below is also in my lease agreement. I don't understand why people say maintenance on a lease doesn't apply. :-/ "You agree to have the Vehicle serviced and repaired according to the manufacturer’s recommendations..." VEHICLE MAINTENANCE AND...

    Leasing - Is yearly maintenance required?

    Ok, I have a question about the requirement of the annual maintenance while under lease... I've read in all the forums, everyone says maintenance is not required for a lease. I just pulled out my lease agreement with US Bank and, on page 2, item 19A says: "You agree to have the Vehicle serviced...

    Model S lease turn-in - what to expect?

    Hi everyone, On 7/8/2016 I entered into a 3 year lease on a Model S 60. The price of the car was $72,200 (I was poor - had to get the affordable version! haha!!). I paid $7,509 at least signing and am currently paying $810/mo for the car, which I dearly love by the way. This is my first time...

    Superchargers in Southern California (location speculation)

    haha!! Thanks so much! No kudos needed; just trying to support the cause! :-) I'm still on the prowl for the ones rumored for El Cajon and La Jolla... (Think that's the rumor, at least)

    Supercharger - San Diego CA - A Street (LIVE 27 Jun 2018, 16 Urban type)

    Thanks for creating the new thread, @Cosmacelf ! I thought about doing it but wanted to let others check it and to make sure it was correct. Inexperienced with the topic, I posted something in a Tesla forum months ago and someone shredded me. I've been reluctant to post anything since then! HA!

    Supercharger - San Diego CA - A Street (LIVE 27 Jun 2018, 16 Urban type)

    I just came back to the forum after making the initial post about the permit. Wow! I'm shocked this made it to a new post! ha! Thank you, @Cosmacelf for finding the permit details on Open DSD. I was really afraid to mention anything without having more concrete information. So, thanks for...

    (Moderator note: this post was moved from the San Diego location speculation thread to it’s own thread, thanks to @Heathman for finding the permit!) Does this description sound like a Supercharger "setup" to anyone, or is it just me? I may be way off here.... Project: Tesla Evs CA 074 -...

    A/C condenser noise - is it normal?

    Hi everyone! Since I picked up my Model S in July, the A/C condenser fan has always made funky noises when it cycles on and off. I made an appointment at my service center, took it in today, and they "Replaced driver side front A/C condenser fan assembly." On my way home, it started making the...

    Is it actually smart to lease a Tesla?

    I am SO glad I leased. I can't imagine actually buying a Tesla as the technology in these vehicles changes so quickly. I picked up my Model S from the factory on July 8th of this year and look at the amazing upgrades that were announced Wednesday! I'm bummed I have to wait almost 3 years to...

    Be honest: is SCing on a long trip annoying?

    I love my Model S but, yes, trips out of town are a major pain in the ass for me. I drove from San Diego to Phoenix and had to stop at least 3 times each way at a SC. The temp was at least 106+ in the desert, I had my dog with me so I couldn't leave the car, it was painful. Unfortunately, I'm...

    Supercharger - San Diego, CA (Qualcomm / Pacific Heights Blvd., 12 V2 stalls)

    Hi everyone. I just drove in this afternoon from Phoenix and stopped at the SD SC. On the way, I was getting ~310mi/h at the various Superchargers. However, in SD, I'm barely getting 132mi/h (333v, 110a). Is that normal for this SC? My battery was down to 20% when I arrived and I was the only...
