    Features I had to give up when I bought a Tesla

    I am also a Lexus convert. The main thing I miss is a sun visor that works. The Tesla visor is pitifully inadequate.

    P85D Strange Clicking Front Left Speaker (with link to video)

    Well, the service center said they could not reproduce the problem. They said the next time it happens to do a voice command "bug report" and then describe the problem and bring back to service within 7 days. Damn, I should have thought of that. I knew about bug report - but the sound is just so...

    P85D Strange Clicking Front Left Speaker (with link to video)

    I have this and my car is in service right now. After one day they can't figure it out. They are keeping my car overnight and I will update tomorrow.

    One Tire With Slow Leak, replace 1 or all 4?

    I was in a similar situation last week. I was out of town on business and my tire went completely flat. I had intermittently having problems with the TPMS alerts on it but the tire was good. I ended up having to get my car towed about 150 miles to the service center where it was discovered I had...

    Supercharger - Tucson, AZ

    I have charged there once without a problem. I didn't check in with the front desk either.

    Supercharger - Tucson, AZ

    Amen to that. I have spent countless hours in Tucson level 2 charging. I would be happier if it was closer to I-19, but I will happily drive out of my way to supercharge.

    Supercharger - Holbrook, AZ

    There are significant elevation changes between Tempe and Holbrook. In addition, it is monsoon season in AZ and you might have some wind too. I would study plugshare pretty closely for some charging alternatives on your route.

    Slacker Favorites is Buggy

    The thumbs do work on the Favorites channel. I listen to this channel extensively and never had a thumbs down repeat.

    New Scottsdale store in Kierland Commons

    Location is relative. Tempe is certainly not centrally located in the Phoenix metropolis. Tempe is, and always has been, a college town. I don't know any college students who can afford to buy any model of Tesla.

    Petition for charging stations in all National Parks

    Also done. It's hard to believe this petition only has 23 signatures!

    Slacker Favorites is Buggy

    I notice it almost daily. For some reason Slacker seems to think I like rap music! The only style of music I ever give a thumbs up to is of the classic rock genre. The horror of it all...........first world problems.

    Battery Cooling

    I haven't had a problem with mine today as hot as it was. There is audible noise from the battery cooling and HVAC system though.

    Terrible experience as first time tesla buyer

    You got that right! Cars like Honda Civic's block my way in the HOV lane almost every day and there is nowhere to pass them. I can go 65 or drive into a concrete wall. It's a terrible experience.

    Superchargers in California will be clogged in 12 months, unless?

    I travel frequently between north Phoenix (absoulutely no Supercharger access) and Tucson for business. I can't even add the time up I have wasted waiting at L2 chargers in Tucson! There is definitely a need in that area of Tucson. I also have needs to travel south of Tucson or near the...

    need 2nd opinion on this tesla im considering

    I got a 2013 P85 CPO last September with almost every option. It had 18K miles on it. My 90% charge rate is 232 miles. It was delivered in superb condition with a 5 year 50K warranty. You may want to look at CPOs so you can take advantage of the included warranty.

    Check your AC

    Yes! The car is still under warranty. I have lived in Arizona all of my life and never had an air conditioning compressor go out previously.

    Check your AC

    I have a 2013 model so it's not exclusive to 2016 models. The following is exactly what they did with my car: Part Quantity COMPRESSOR, A/C ELECTRIC (6007380- 00-C) 1 Parts Replaced or Added Corrections: DCDC Converter - 1st Generation Replaced DC/DC converter. Verified proper operation after...

    Check your AC

    I just got my car back last night for the same issue. It was also at the Scottsdale SC. Well, on the bright side, at least it happened in February instead of the summer time.

    Car wash in Phoenix

    I tried a total hand wash place yesterday I found on Yelp. It is on the southwest corner of 23rd Ave and Glendale. It's not the nicest looking place but they did a thorough job with my car and there are absolutely no brushes or belts there. The workers there seemed familiar with Teslas and even...

    Questions about buying a used 2013 Model S

    I took delivery of 2013 CPO P85 in September of this year. It had 17K miles on it and it was in pristine condition. I do have a small water leak when it rains hard in the smaller driver's window. I have not felt it necessary to take the car in for service once yet. (We don't get much rain here...

    AZ Superchargering Woes?

    I have supercharged in Flagstaff, Cordes Lake, and Casa Grande in the last two months. I haven't noticed any changes in the speed of the charge. In Casa Grande the handle was too hot to touch though. I literally could not hold it with my bare hands long enough to pull it out. It was probably...

    What is the most amazing thing about your Tesla

    I drove 100 miles today in the HOV lane today and saved about an hour in commute time!

    CPO delivery question

    I put my deposit down Aug. 28 for a 2013 P85. It was located in California and I am in Arizona. I just took delivery Wednesday, September 21. I did a thorough inspection and the only flaw I found was I could feel some scruff marks on the undercarriage in the front of the vehicle. It was in...
