    Brake cleaning $75

    Would it be worthwhile to turn on Creep Mode once every week or two, for a day, to use the brakes to keep this from happening?

    Buying Models S that has 60K mileage

    Riiight. My mistake.

    Power Sharing HPWC

    It seems like having a separate breaker for each HPWC defeats the purpose of having "connected" HPWC's. Having them connected allows use of one 100 A breaker. Having two breakers is the same as two separate installations. Did I miss something?

    Buying Models S that has 60K mileage

    This is off-base IMHO. All CPO's come with warranty.

    Charging question model S

    I had questions and concerns about a lot of things. Called the CPO rep. They can see a lot more info about the cars than what is listed on the CPO site. For instance, some cars have parking sensors and some don't. The one I placed a deposit on has the parcel shelf which isn't listed on CPO...

    Horn is hard to honk in times of danger

    LOL Hank. Too funny. Should have my CPO in a coupla weeks so I can't speak about the horn, but in a previous car i broke the horm on the whel from hitting it too hard. Either as reaction or frustration I guess. Now that I'm older and more calm, I'm interested to test the horn.

    Adding Genres to downloaded FLAC files

    Thanks for the info. I am a complete noob in this endeavor but I love the sound of the decompressed audio. I want to get my music converted so I'm ready to go when I get my CPO sometime soon-ish, LOL It just won't happen fast enough.

    What was or will be the first song played in your Model S?

    I thought of this the other day while driving my ICE - She Blinded Me With Science. I got a chuckle out that. Or, any song by. . . . wait for it . . . Tesla

    Help with options in cold climate

    Glad to see a concentration of CO owners in one thread. Anyone here have a brown metallic S? I saw this one leaving my neighborhood one day, SW suburb of Denver. I'm supposed to be an owner within aprox one month.

    CPO Model S Experiences

    My delivery date on My Tesla indicated delivery late Nov/early Dec. I checked it yesterday and the date is 10/16 to 10/23. WTF?!?! Certainly not complaining, but was sposed to be on a truck from CA to CO earlier this week. As far as I know it has not been conditioned or anything. Started...

    Are CPO prices negotiable?

    Lot of miles in a week. LOL - NICE!!!!

    CPO Model S Experiences

    I am in the same boat. Placed deposit on S85 on Friday. Painfully waiting for "4 to 6 weeks" for delivery. I went with lower miles/higher price concerned about "wear n tear. Could have scored P85 price wise if willing to consider 30K or 40 K miles. Decided to stick with 20K-ish miles for...

    Are CPO prices negotiable?

    I'm surprised how many CPO's have been our there for 6 to 9+ months and appear to still be priced similar to others. Seems like it would be worth it to Tesla to sell for a few thousand less than carry it for several months.

    If you'd have never owned a Tesla, would you buy a CPO MS today?

    I better check the list to see if you bought the one I was eyeing. Congrats.

    Thanks for the link, I may have to consider something like that. I might have to get my tunes onto a USB.

    Tips for new Tesla owners.

    I plan on being a Tesla owner soon (yay for me). Anyway, reading through this thread I'm not sure my day time charging plan will work the way I thought it would. Plan on charging at work during the day using a standard outlet in my parking garage. It is cold as heck during the day in that...

    If you'd have never owned a Tesla, would you buy a CPO MS today?

    I replied to this, but don't see it now. Thanks for the info. I am not patient nor do I have a high tolerance for things, lol. I was looking at something that cost a little less in the range of 40K miles, but decided a little higher price might be worth less use. It's all a crap-shoot...

    If you'd have never owned a Tesla, would you buy a CPO MS today?

    Thanks Sethsla, more information is always helpful. I didn't realize until a few days ago the sub-zero package prior to 2015 didn't include a heated steering wheel, which disappoints me greatly. I'm sure there are a lot of things like this that I will learn. How many USB connections in the...

    Thanks Cab. I do not have a high tolerance for things, lol, but I'm cautiously starting to drink the Kool-Aid on the Tesla customer service

    I asked this question, service history in general, and was told that is confidential information "owned by" or limited to previous owner.

    If you'd have never owned a Tesla, would you buy a CPO MS today?

    If I may ask, what year and how many miles on your CPO? I'm not yet an owner but close to putting a deposit on one, S85, 2013, 18,000 ish miles.

    Regenerative braking and charging limit

    Ohji - That incline is 1 ft of elevation gain for every 5.25 ft of distance. That is approx 25% grade for 1 mile? I ride mtn bikes on Colorado trails and rarely encounter a grade that steep. Are you sure? Any sand or rain, and I'm not sure most cars would hold traction. Likely doesn't...
