haha - yes. In bay area, it is starting to be more visible...but 100% agreed - my daughter did NOT want to be seen with it near her school. Son loves the look! Go figure...wife does not like any truck! pretty divided family. My guess - in a couple of years, I might have a R1T in the driveway...

I have both 3, YLR and rented CT-dual-motor for a day recently. CT road noise is much lower, ride is quite soft when set for comfort and you won’t feel the road imperfections. Drive (steering response and go pedal response) Is amazing - signature Tesla. Audio system is fantastic…when parked...

I rented the CT the other day and noticed this red tiny LED, activated when crossing vehicles. there is one on each of the A pillars. The area is much larger with a grill/net, so I assume more updates are likely. Short video I took…

I have a Tesla Powerwall and the gateway that is installed as part of Powerwall install always broadcasts an SSID...just FYI.

Hi All, just wanted to drop a note for those of you on Tesla Insurance to login (to Tesla.com) and check your coverage, if you haven't done so in the last 3-6 months. Mine had dropped to a much lower (likely basic coverage) somehow when I was accidentally checking for something else. I called...

so my car got serviced. Front suspension lower right AFT arm broke. Part $205. I asked them to replace the same one on the other side too. + labor + wheel alignment: $1003. And yes, the parts were 1041575-00-B, and 1041570-00-B. I am going to continue to complain up the chain that at 4yrs old...

Went today to take some pics during day-time, when car is at the service center...

for what it might be worth, I had a steering vibration in my 2016 MS when new, and eventual fix was to fix the air flow in the front fascia...at highway speeds, the wind may get caught up in the front bumper area and not escape as planned causing steering vibration. I dug up my old notes, here...

2016 Model S with 77K Miles...yes out of warranty :(...just experienced this today at a local trailhead in Bay Area. After a long hike, returned to car, pulled car out of parking at an angle (slight slope, not flat), and as I was about to drive forward, the front right (passenger) wheel made...

got the same notification for my Model3 for 44.25, installed but haven't driven out. I don't expect to get FSD Beta until Christmas at least. Just hoping it is 2020 Christmas and not 2021 Christmas :rolleyes:

the $403 was all inclusive, parts, labor & programming...The 3 parts that were used: ASY- FR LH, GEN3 DH, NOGRIP, 2.1 SVC RPL Part #: 1135718-S0-ABACK SEAL, DOOR HANDLE OUTER, LH Part #: 1008999-00-ELED ASY, DOOR HANDLE 3.0 OUTER LH Part #: 1109173-00-A The chrome outer handle piece itself...

I had my driver exterior door handle replaced for $405 (I was fearing the original costs of $1K+ that people used to pay...) glad the replace/repair costs are coming down. And yes, got Gen3 and needed reprogramming. Have the 2016 (refresh AP1) MS. Been week+ and handle working great. The mobile...

lol - I am confused myself why I needed to file a claim - perhaps to see what to expect next time I need a real claim (hope I never have to). No-one has called me in 2+ weeks after filing the claim though (adjusters are hard to come by I guess). It was no small flat BTW, I had to spend $450 - so...

So we have 2 Teslas under Tesla Insurance - for the last 9months or so. Great price (40% cheaper than the Allstate insurance we were on for 15+ yrs). Labor Day weekend - had a flat tire (2 nails - one of them a big screw) going on freeway about 30miles away from home (and heading out)...

Never received the 32.10, but received 32.11 last night on my wife's M3, w/ FSD. Has all the features that Tesla released in the press release: games, theater (netflix/youtube), caraoke, and Spotify! Amazing release. So far, all working well - wasn't expecting so many features.

I had previously purchased the ESA for my MS 1.0AP Facelist 75D and I am approaching the 50K miles (in 2.6yrs) and almost finalizing asking for full refund... Here is the "exclusion" list as stated in the contact, just FYI in case you haven't read it earlier. And yes, there is a $200...

I explain the initial sticker shock of a EV (Tesla in particular) as: * The battery is the biggest cost of the EV. It would be similar to buying for gas for 10-15yrs upfront. In the course of ownership of 5-10yrs of your EV, you would not only recover the upfront cost, you would be saving much...

I use my own product at home (Ruckus Wi-Fi) and have DPI engine in the wi-fi access points to get a bit more insight into the traffic flowing between the car and the internet. Both the cars are parked in the garage at night around the same time, and most of this traffic is during those...

I had never seen more than 97Kwh on my 2016 facelift 75D, until 16.2 update, and I started seeing 104kwh (I know not that big a diff, but I had NEVER crossed 100kwh - so that was encouraging for me :))...I don't supercharge often, may be it has improved even more after 20.1/20.2.

thank you so much for the detailed answers. I really appreciate it!

I brought to the attention of my service advisor that the sunroof seal on my 2016 facelift AP1.0 Model S, has a rip (perhaps due to the sunroof holder clamps brushing into it regularly...). My advisor said, this is cosmetic, and is not covered under the 4yr/50K warranty. And that, this rubber...

I have a AP1.0 (Sep 2016 build) MS75D, currently at 46K miles. I had already paid the 4yr extended warranty a while ago for $4.2K. Q I have is, should I cancel the contract pre-50K and get the full refund (& pay for repair as needed)? I MIGHT keep the car, Or, might sell it (to get a MX...

RWD Red M3 with EAP. Day1 reservation holder and MS owner. Bay area! * Ordered July 1st and requested delivery in October. * got call from Tesla mid Sept (a few days ago) if I could buy in Sept. agreed and switched color to blue. * delivery 9/21 at Fremont Factory. * got VIN tonight, 76xxx. (is...

If you have the premium package and EAP but no premium connectivity, how will car make traffic-aware navigation (auto lane change, future feature never the less but included with EAP/FSD)?

BTW, I need to re-state my experiences. Since upgrade a month or so ago, I am now able to hear much better quality (including more base) for some audio tracks - not all. I think streaming services have dynamic quality changes based on time, place etc so some audio get downloaded with lower...

Yes. But this is AP1.0, so has this since I bought the car almost 2yrs ago

pretty cool!

wow - great thread and - unbelievable job! congrats and enjoy your Tesla!

Sorry to hear about the damage - you must have been furious. The curse of tesla - repair durations..hopefully you can drive around until all your parts have arrived! Here was mine. Thankfully, his bumper hit mine and paint protection (suntek) took all the scratch out except for two license...

awesome - thanks for sharing.

Thanks for that. Any idea/pic of what this part is?

+ tire pressure at recommended level (45PSI for standard tires - not sure for Ps). + Perhaps a bad suggestion, but going from 21in wheels to 19in should give better range (5% I believe?). Warning: P-owners will hate this suggestion.

congrats. What is the rated range you see on the dash? I get better consumption on stop & go traffic, than on high speed commute. Be easy on the go pedal on your P and it should help you increase range.

The standard audio in my S is quite ordinary. When I sat and drove in the Model3, the premium audio was - wow!! I have since upgraded my standard speakers with BA Audio’s speakers and they have improved - but still not like the Model3 premium audio. The S is so strikingly beautiful - I am...

I read an article a couple of months ago from Porsche exec introducing their mission-E to their fans Porsche looks serious with Mission-E, and so they are paying extra attention to their die hard followers to convince them this is the future - taking extra care not to bash the ICE cars. This...

So this guy calls me to talk about our B-class EV's lease ending and trying to replace with another MB. They don't have pure EVs anymore, so C350-hybrid is the only option. With driver assistance package, it is at $56K before taxes. So to have fun, I said we are also looking at Model3 which...

two important tasks done during 25K mile service: 1. brake fluid flush 2. A/C desiccant filter replacement Not sure remaining items together with above is worth $725, but if you want Tesla to remember your car and label it as well maintained - this is prob worth it. I have done brake fluid...

it was done and stated in my list...

Just FYI that I paid the $725 for the 2yr/25K (I had 26K miles, and at 19months, 5months before 2yr anniversary) service. Yea, there will be both sides to the story - shouldn't have done it, Tesla charging a lot etc etc. But this is the only option in town to have the piece of mind I want, to...

Agree Valet is safer. Any covered paid parking is better than street-side. Remove the parcel shelf - if they see nothing, they smash nothing.

In case someone knows it, one way to capture logs is to use the voice command and say "bug report" - car does an explicit capture of all logs. helpful when you see something strange in the car dashboard etc - will be helpful when you call back SC or tesla support.

or it could simply be a deer hit or avoiding a car from other side that might be off-lane...you never know. We all jump into conclusions so quickly (or ready to push the "stupid" button). Feel really sad for him and his family - let Tesla/others get some data first. This (& the Mt. View crash)...

My problems are completely gone now. Here is the full journey: 1. Right after delivery, I had vibrations at certain speeds. They changed one wheel rim. 2. Vibrations were still present at higher speeds. They inserted foam in lower front fascia are (wind getting through bumper area causing...

Very sad to hear this - heartbreaking. This is a 30mph road - how fast can they be going? even if double - say 60mph, in one of the safest cars in the world - not able to get out of it alive - is really sad to hear, and scary to think of what-if-I-was-in-there scenarios. I would hope Tesla...

alright, reporting back here after my install this morning. My initial response was - well - I don't feel a difference :-(. Yes, these are heavier speakers, bigger magnets etc. but I think the base amp is the problem - it is weak and not driving this speaker any better than it did the standard...

Sold! Thank you all for your interest. Sold to one of our TMC members here in TMC. Cheers! I will update later how long it took for Tesla to do the delivery/install. Submitted the referral submission today (4/21, Saturday).

Interestedin Interesting that this referral period ends July 15 (2.5months). What's up with that? New MS design would come with a new referral program? hhmmmmm

I would do 1, 2, and 4yr/mile-limit services. 1yr for drive unit fluids 2yr yr for brake fluid + AC filter 4yr for brake fluid + AC filter + battery coolant. I think 3yr service can simply be addressed (multi-point inspection) if you are bringing your car for other services. Do the above and...

Can't agree with you more. We see it every day in our garage/parking, so we might get a bit used to it. But just today, parking it at hte coffee shop this morning and looking at it through the glass while inside, I couldn't stop but admire the beautify of our car (have the white car as well -...

Just ordered the 4-door speaker upgrade kit from BA Design Works. To arrive in 1-2 weeks and will see how it does. I have the standard audio package on my Sep-16 built MS75D. I am sure it would be better than what I have :). Thank you to all for posting your choices & experiences - very helpful!
