The DMV must have one of the highest concentrations of Tesla vehicles outside of California, and many of them are outside of Warranty coverage. I would really like an option besides the Service Center for small things that anyone with some degree of experience can fix. My own Model S needs...

I've had my 2013 Model S (RWD) for seven years now, and most of those years I've swapped to a set of Pirelli Sottozero tires for the winter. I have them mounted and balanced on a spare set of wheels, so it's easy to do the changeover myself. I know that they theoretically grip cold surfaces...

I purchased a pre-owned 2013 Model S in August of 2016. At the time, the car had 41,000 miles. I was told that as part of the CPO refresh (yes, back then there was a true CPO program!), the battery coolant flush/replacement had been completed prior to my taking delivery. I believe that was...

I have a 2013 MS 60 (pre-AP), and I'm pretty sure it's done this as long as I've owned it. After starting up, the first time the car hits 25mph, there is a subtle single "beep" sound. It's easiest to hear with the radio off & HVAC off. It doesn't seem to come through the speakers but maybe comes...

Moderator note: The first dozen or so posts in this thread were moved from the original Fairfax, VA Supercharger thread. Excited to reawaken this old thread of mine... We were driving on Route 50 tonight and my wife pointed out that there's a Wawa going in just west of Fairfax Circle, at 9700...

I've stopped using this as I have a spare (Gen 2) wall connector. But I'd like to still have two usable WCs, and I'd prefer to be able to use the higher-amperage Gen 1. Can this be fixed?

Curious if others have experienced similar, Search turned up no solid results. I've owned my 2013 S 60 for over two years, and in all that time I've frequently had an issue where the rear camera fails (shows only a blank/dark window) in cold weather. I reported it when my car was in the Service...

Last winter was my first with my S 60, and fearing a winter in a big, heavy RWD car, I bought a set of Pirelli Sottozeroes from the SC and had them mounted & balanced on my current wheels. I stored the all-season tires in my garage. There was hardly any snow in my area last winter, and I took...

Has anybody sleuthed out the likely location for the Fairfax Supercharger? My guess was Fair Oaks Mall, but I haven't seen any confirmation. Also, I swear there was at one point a "Coming soon" indicated on the official tesla.com Supercharger map in Alexandria -- doesn't seem to be there...

I've had my CPO Model S for about a month now, and was starting to feel a little bummed out with the inevitable dirt & bird poop accumulating on it. So today I took it through an automated, touchless car wash. The Pano Roof leaked considerably -- maybe 1/2 oz of water fell on me in the driver's...

I just brought home my 2013 CPO Model S 60kwh (twin chargers, supercharging) a couple days ago. For the first couple of days, i've had it plugged into a 120v 15a outlet using the Mobile Connector. It charges at 12a, at a rate of about 4mi/hr. This has been sufficient to recharge fully to 90%...

I picked up my 2013 CPO Model S a few hours ago, and I've only driven it home from the SC. It's a 60kwh, Blue Metallic (the old dark blue), with Tech, Pano, and rear-facing seats. A few observations and questions: Delivered today, still running firmware v7.x. So I'll be on the lookout for an...

Hi, I'm awaiting delivery of my CPO Model S, and working on having a 14-50 outlet professionally installed inside my garage. There will be times that I need to park the Tesla in the driveway (outside the garage) and I'm thinking of creating a pass-through in my garage wall run to cable from the...
