    2017 Model S. Unable to see option of buying extended warranty

    I bought my car brand new in 2017 February. I have put on almost 43,000 miles on it. I know the bumper to bumper warranty is for 4 years or 50,000 miles. There used to be an option to buy Extended Warranty or Extended Service Agreement or both at some point. I don't see the option to buy...

    Red Vinyl Wrap

    Can you please tell me which ones would you recommend for Xpel in Chicago area? Were the quotes for full body wrap or partial? Did it also include clear coat protection?

    Brand new S90D (2/17). Experiencing very bumpy ride since yesterday. Regular suspension.

    It actually went away for me after about a week or so. I had called Tesla assistance and they told me to let the car suspension "settle". I am at over 27,000 miles now and never had problems.

    Help - S isn't repairable so a total loss. How does insurance decide cash value?

    So someone hit my car while it was legally parked this past weekend. I know, heartbreaking and upsetting :mad:! The car was unoccupied while this happened. So I towed the car to the best shop in the Chicago area, Gold Coast Auto Body for repairs. They took a look and after a day, told my...

    Chicago area body shop recommendation? My baby got hit while parked!

    This is the type of post NO Tesla owner should ever have to write. But here I am. Was parked in the Evanston suburb of Chicago. Went for a nice little walk at night after dinner. Came back to my parking spot and see police cars, two trucks and a whole bunch of people standing looking at my baby...

    7 month old Model S 90D. Lost 8 miles rated range :(

    So I bought brand new MS 90D earlier this year in February. I have almost 14,000 miles on it and I started noticing, over the pas couple of months, a decline in the 80% and 90% charge numbers. I usually plug in 4-5 days a week to charge in the garage and never go above 90%. Earlier I would see...

    3 month old Model S with all glass roof. A huge crack developed already

    Yes it was. It will be replaced under warranty but my concern if they will be able to get it right while installing a new glass roof outside of the factory.

    3 month old Model S with all glass roof. A huge crack developed already

    So I took delivery mid February of a gorgeous all glass roof Model S. At the time of delivery there was a minor half an inch long crack in the all glass roof. I was told it is not a big deal and I believed the delivery team and took delivery. About 90 days later, I saw that the crack developed...

    Model S 90D charged 100% shows range as 295 miles. How come?

    Not a problem at all! I was wondering if anyone knew how tesla came up with 294 when it can go higher than that number. And since it sounds like it does go beyond 294 for other people, why wouldn't tesla describe the rated range as higher?

    Rattle sound and steering shakes when changing lanes or driving on pavement reflector markers.

    So I have had my MS for almost two months now. 90D with HW2 and all glass roof. I started noticing a weird rattle noise coming from the left side of the car around the front left tire when changing lanes. Or anytime I drive over a broken or cracked area on the road concrete or over the pavement...

    Model S 90D charged 100% shows range as 295 miles. How come?

    So I charged to 100% last week and saw this when I stepped in. Rated range is 294 miles for 90D. This is second gen 90D with HW2. Anyone has seen this before?

    So the garage has a regular 3 pin outlet (110V). Can anyone please give me a high level estimate of what the cost will be to upgrade the outlet to 240V 30Amp so I can charge my Model S at home?

    How to get rid of swirls on paint after hand wash/drying?

    As is with most Tesla owners who like to hand wash, I love cleaning and detailing the car by hand. But with hand washing and drying with a microfiber matt come those dreaded swirls on the paint that show. And they show a lot more from a distance in the sun. How do you guys take care of that? Any...

    Model S 2017 - Behind Back Seat Open Panels - Quality Fail

    Would you mind sharing the problems with the 2016 car that made you invoke the lemon law? What all issues it had? Sorry to hear your experience. It definitely is concerning to see Tesla not taking care of basic quality control issues. I am seeing wildly different experiences. Some people love...

    Brand new S90D (2/17). Experiencing very bumpy ride since yesterday. Regular suspension.

    Nope no warning from the TPMS. The tire pressure was normal. I checked before driving this morning. Cold tire pressure was 45 for front right, 42 for front left, 45 for rear left and 43 for rear right.

    Brand new S90D (2/17). Experiencing very bumpy ride since yesterday. Regular suspension.

    So I picked up the S90D on 2/17. Love the car. Amazing ride quality and excellent handling until yesterday. I have regular suspension and didn't get the SAS. I have driven 700+miles so far and had no issues. My driving is on regular highway and well laid local roads that I have been driving on...

    Owners delivery stories, photos and first impressions

    You have to be driving 15 MPH or under and there has to be a spot available on the road. The instrument panel will display a park spot available icon by itself. At that point, you stop, put your car in reverse and tap the engage auto park button on the touchscreen (it will automatically display...

    Horrible Leather Dash Creases/Cracks

    I picked mine up 10 days ago. Have black leather premium seats. After 10 days of driving I saw crease on driver's seat and one small crease on the rear passenger seat (which is surprising because no one sat in the seat!). Any ideas on how to fix it or get it fixed?

    New owners, any issues with side-view mirrors?

    Took delivery on 2/17 and had absolutely no issues at all. Until this morning when the temperature in Chicago dropped to 23F. The mirror auto tilt worked but not the auto fold. I am hoping its just due to the cold and it will be back to as it was working once the temperature goes up later today...

    Owners delivery stories, photos and first impressions

    A week ago it arrived. And OMG loving it. I get slight wind noise over 75 MPH (I have the all glass roof) but that's not too loud. Love the all glass roof. 90D, PUP, MC Red and black seats. It's stunning. Check it out

    Why summon feature not available of AP2 cars?

    The summon, rain sensitive wipers and other things are coming. That's ok, we can wait. Tesla never said they will be available for AP2 cars when they sold it to us. If you look at the larger picture, you will probably keep this baby for years and waiting for few months to get these extra...

    Wind noise in full glass roof new Model S

    Excellent. Glad you got rid of the problem. I will do the same now. The all glass roof is worth every penny and if a $13 fix eliminates the noise, then great. Yeah, Tesla should have done a better job, perhaps they will release their version of the "fix" sometime later. Till then, this black...

    Took delivery today. Questions on the software update and wind noise

    Sorry to hear that. This shouldn't be the case for a 100k car. Tried looking into aftermarket seat cushion add ons? For me, I think the seats "set" in. I drove quite a bit today and had no back discomfort or any other issue. Bunch of my friends drove it as well and they had no discomfort either.

    Leather maintenance/leather smell?

    Apart from the leather, any recommendations on cleaning the glass on the windows and from inside the windshield and on the door panels? My car windows got some hand and fingerprints from the kids sitting in the back and those fingerprints and hand marks stand out and are annoying.

    Why summon feature not available of AP2 cars?

    I picked up mine (AP2.0) this weekend. While I like the TACC, not having the ability to auto steer over 35MPH is a bummer. It appears that Tesla is starting over with the EAP. I'll wait whenever it is enabled for higher speeds. Now does anyone know WHY is the summon feature not available on AP2...

    Took delivery today. Questions on the software update and wind noise

    Thanks @Nick S . I am bummed they forgot it for me. I was too excited and forgot to ask them about it as well. Now I will call them and ask for the SWAG bag and go pick it up (assuming they agree to give it). What's in the bag anyways?

    Help - Ordered today but didn't get premium package. Is it worth it?

    I DID get the PUP after all. The power ligate alone made it worth it. Besides, I am loving the lighted door handles too. @Watts Son it came like that, I didn't paint it.

    When do autopilot features begin to work on a new Tesla?

    Should I get XPel right away after delivery or wait?

    So I will be taking delivery in less than a month (hopefully) and I am starting to get ready for the car. I have read a lot about how Xpel or a similar product is a must have to protect the paint. However, I have seen many other happy Model S and X owners who got NO paint protection work done...

    My Tesla shows car in production. No email received. Timing for delivery?

However, I got no e-mail notification when the car went into production (I did get one when the VIN was assigned). Based on your experience, can you...

    HUD or no HUD? Gimmick or really useful feature? Worth giving up free supercharging?

    Free Supercharging! Duh. I got it because I drive about 23000 miles a year (about 15,000 of them are highway miles) on average on my current ICE car. Once I get my Model S delivered, I know I will be driving more than 23,000 miles a year for sure. Based on this, I will probably save over $1000...
