    Rear roof glass repairs - Safelite or Tesla?

    Going to chime in here, 2013 S, broke the rear fixed glass roof pane. No 3rd party options only Tesla service center was able to do the glass replacement. $1,355 repair cost for that piece of glass..ouch. glad they had the part in stock and were able to do it through. Hope to never be so unlucky...

    Well, sold out of my leveraged shares with a bit of a loss and just holding core shares, tried to get more but failed so will just stick to my planned monthly additions bought with my own money for now.

    4D chess, but no winning as the SEC is only as corrupt as the gov... We see what justice has come of that so not holding my breath, but am holding all my shares both owned and borrowed!

    Unless I get margin called and robbed of my borrowed shares I plan to keep them and just pay them off over the next few months

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Went in for more on margin, had to lookup what the margin limit was just to make sure I was still leaving a sufficient buffer, it can drop another 20% before I need to worry

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    In for 50 more shares, but this is it for me and my margin buying, no more unless it falls to the 500's

I had a 3% stop loss that I forgot and was triggered this morning. distracted from work ..oups. well I managed to recover the shares just a hare less then sold for so back to my max# held again now phew! lol caused myself more stress then needed there.

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    True, but risk is on and volatile conditions seem like they will continue to persist. I've been able to add many shares with stop loss orders and then setting buy orders and forget it. I dont catch the top or bottom but do well enough. Every time shares sell I am sad/worried but get over it...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    well...your in the same boat at me where you have to go risk on and set some sell orders and then if they execute then set some buy orders and hope they also fill lol tough getting pennies in front of a steam roller that regularly changes speed and direction, thought I was a damned idiot letting...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Well between friday and today I was able to swing trade and add 2 shares woot..man sure feels like picking up penny's in front of a steamroller though, stressful and not certain it's worth it, hmm. Gotta do what you gotta do tho when the couches are empty and more shares are wanted O.o

    19" original Tesla S rim/s good as a winter spare

    Seeing what interest there may be on my original 19" S rims. One was slightly bent, the other 3 are still good. Open to offers, local to Colorado Springs. Photos below, bent rim is marked.

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    +1 share added with swings so far today, might be all I dare for the day barring anything too crazy happening. Not greedy or super skilled, just following mm pattern doing the needful to try and continue adding to shares held overall.

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    unfoutionatly my couches all ran dry in my quest to increase my total of chairs so now I have had to resort to off the cuff swing trading to attamt to add more and hope to not be steamrolled lol what stress it is! I have been able to add a few more chairs trying this new strategy this month but...

    Replacement 19" tires

    The time for new tires is approaching again so hitting this thread up with some data. I do not recommend the Goodyear eagle touring 245/45 R19 98W SL VSB TE as they have hit the 3mm mark with only 14,249 miles driven on them. The Michelin Primacy MXM4 245/45R19 98W SL BSW I used before these...

    Supercharger - Poncha Springs, CO

    This supercharger is back up and operational as of now, a tesla energy tech was here working on it and I got a peak rate of 105kw before taper on my S85, good thing too as it was shown as offline and I had tried several other chargepoint locations throughout the day but each time was in use or...

    well, in my astonishment of the price action on tesla today I sold what little else I held to buy more as I already robbed the couch cushions yesterday, only another 4 shares able to be added but happy to have added more at this price :)

    Wiki Consolidated eMMC Thread (MCU repair) (Black Center Screen)

    I dug up a screenshot of the 1st communication tesla put up about it, it was only for up to 100k miles, I have one that failed before and one after in my case.

    Has anyone noticed supercharging changes with 2020.48.37?

    I have the 37.1 software on my 2013 S85, just completed a roadtrip from CO to FL. My charge experience may not be applicable to most cars of this vintage as my HV pack was replaced with a new 350v remanufactured pack that I have now put 2k miles on, this trip I saw over 100kw charge rate all...

    New 85kWH battery for my 2013 P85+

    wanted to add that I just completed a trip from CO to FL in a record 37hrs, before on the prev battery this trip took me 44hrs to complete, charges faster, and range on this pack is 265mi so brand new range again on it, very happy indeed!

    haha I hope it goes down a bit more, was only able to pull $665 out of my cushion so that's the # that gets me one more share lol sucks being on a budget doh!

    What other tech stock to consider?

    I did buy some ciic, but also bought nndm as that looks promising going forward but when compared to the growth tsla will have probably lost money doing that haha

    Install 100d battery in 2015 S 85d?

    Well it's a damn shame on tesla then for continuing to have reps lie to my face. Anyways, I will fight that in the future if I need to and if the battery fails after 11months and they say take a hike then it will be a parts car at that point and I will likely buy something else. As always vote...

    Install 100d battery in 2015 S 85d?

    Same boat, no final answer on warranty, verbally I was told it was covered under a 4yr 50k mile warranty when I picked up the car but per warranty terms on their website it is covered for the remainder of original warranty which for me is 11 more months. Will fight that future battle if needed...

    New 85kWH battery for my 2013 P85+

    Well for the sake of data I ran it down to 6% then charged to my normal 90% last night, 90% shows 234miles of range so extrapolating out 100% on this new battery would be 260milles of range. I am very happy with that.

    Wiki Consolidated eMMC Thread (MCU repair) (Black Center Screen)

    I paid a bit over 1700 for my MCU replacement back in June at 86k miles on my 2013 S85 and will certainly fight for that back if needed.

    New 85kWH battery for my 2013 P85+

    So far in researching based on the teardowns of the original 85kwh and the new 100kwh packs and that the new 85 is a 100 with 2 modules removed and with the estimated cell avg of 11.36wh ea 1088815-01-A 85kWh pack consists of 16 modules of 444 cells for 7,104 total cells real capacity of...

    New 85kWH battery for my 2013 P85+

    That would be nice but does not appear so. When I picked up the car it was cold soaked at 40 degrees and with a 97% charge showed 250 miles, guess I will see what it ends up at next summer for a warmer temp range reading. I will have to do more research on just what the difference is between the...

    New 85kWH battery for my 2013 P85+

    I asked for that in writing and was referred to the new parts warranty terms listed on their site, I dont have the link handy but have read and seen it before and it has been linked to elsewhere on the forums. I had the same Incredulity about it when he told me that as I was going over the car...

    New 85kWH battery for my 2013 P85+

    Just a final update on this (hopefully): I got the car back home last night, did a quick inspect of the underside before leaving the SC and battery looked fully bolted in this time so all good there. As for range on the new pack it looks to be around 254mi fully charged which I am happy with...

    New 85kWH battery for my 2013 P85+

    Update: So I have gone from sad to elated and hopeful now. My 2013 S85 is going to be ready for pickup tomorrow. Fingers crossed that this is the final fix for a while. Tesla did their best to make it right getting me a rental that could fit 5 kids while this issue was sorted out. In looking at...

    Got the dreaded "battery charge level is restricted" message yesterday

    Thankfully they offered a rental car till the 6th that I will get today so it at least gets me through Halloween with the kids but was also fed a BS excuse when I asked if any 90 packs were available since 85s are not and was told they don't bump them up like that, has to stay the same as the...

    Got the dreaded "battery charge level is restricted" message yesterday

    No though I am pretty sure 1 or more modules within the pack reached a sudden failure point where they self isolated from the rest of the pack and SC just agreed with me and did not elaborate any further details. At least they agreed the 1st time it failed and I waited weeks on a refurb pack...

    Got the dreaded "battery charge level is restricted" message yesterday

    I posted in the technical mechanics issues thread but thought this might be a more specific to the issue thread to post my experience on this, got the same and other errors as OP on my 2013 S 85 on 9/14/2020 @ 90,020mi and had it towed to the Littleton CO SC. It was diagnosed as HV battery...

    Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

    Well folks, my 2013 S85 had the HV and 12v batteries replaced due to failure 10/2/2020 @ 90,025mi HV pack was replaced with a remanufactured one. Today, 544 miles on the car since then, the refurb HV battery seems to be done as well, on a flatbed back to the service center, will again be...

    New 85kWH battery for my 2013 P85+

    Guess I was wrong, car is dead again, problem with the refurb pack that was installed, on a flatbed going back to the service center now, I asked for a new battery this time not a refurb as I dont want to repeat this again... not holding my breath. Refurb pack lasted 544 miles before giving up...
