    Model S Price Cut: How Telsa treats new owners

    It is important to remember that Tesla's Direct Sales model ensures that everybody is treated equally at the time. The price is the price, there is no negotiating, contrary to the traditional franchise dealer sales model of all other car manufacturers. There are people who end up paying...

    Help pick battery size

    I commute to Manhattan from NJ. I have a 60D, never needed more. I won't even upgrade to 75D at the reduced price. The garage I park at in the city has a charger but I never need it. Keep in mind, There are a bunch of new supercharger locations planned this year for NJ, NYC and CT. I would...

    8.1 timing?

    Are you on a highway or local road? It only works when you see the adjacent lane lines on the hud. When you use the turn signal stalk it changes to a dotted line and changes the lane.

    Help me decide whether to lease or buy

    Would you mind clarifying how the adoption of your children results in zero federal tax liability for the next three years? You earn enough to afford a Tesla but pay no federal taxes, I am interested to hear how that works.

    Can this be repaired? (Rear quarter panel, passenger side)

    Sure, it was done by Mountain View Auto Body in Wayne, NJ. In my opinion, any competent body shop could fix that. There are no sensors or complex bits involved in a repair like that.

    How did I Get Scratches in Paint

    Not sure, they would know the best course of action to fix those scratches. Just looking at the scratches in your pictures, based on the direction, they were likely caused by a wash mit dragging something across the paint. If the mitt touches the ground, or heavy dirt/grit is still on the...

    How did I Get Scratches in Paint

    I would take it to a pro detailer to have them look at the scratches. Best to take it to the retailer who applied the opti coat. Personally, I get uncomfortable letting anyone wash my Teslas for fear of scratches. I even ask the Tesla dealer to not wash it after a service appointment. My X...

    How did I Get Scratches in Paint

    Likely the parking lot staff did not take care washing and drying it. The clear coat gets swirls marks very easily without the proper wash/dry techniques. If those are only swirl marks, they can be corrected by polishing and waxing or better yet like an opti coat pro plus would protect it in...

    Still able to drive the car even the key fob is outside

    I have driven from Manhattan, where I work, to home (34 miles away) at night with the key fob outside the car on the windshield, unbeknownst to me. The garage guys usually leave the fob in the car but sometimes put it on the windshield when they move cars around within the garage. Fortunately...

    Benefits To Owning an S60?

    You will not regret the S60. I have an S60D. It is a good value compared to the larger batteries. (The $7k cost to unlock to the 75kWh is not worth it IMO). The technology is years ahead of anything else. The driving experience is better. Where it does not measure up to everything else is...

    What do you do when you have a flat tire on a MX

    My X had a flat last week. Tesla Roadside assistance sent a flatbed tow truck, the car was at my house. No nearby tire shop had the exact tire (you should not mix and match) They towed it to the nearest Tesla service center for free but the one tire cost me $427 total.

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

    Polishing and waxing will take care of it for the most part. If you are asking how to prevent them when hand washing, then you may already know the proper two bucket method, work from top down with no circular motions (forget what Mr. Miyagi taught you). I preceed this with a power washer...

    HPWC between garage doors?

    I have two Teslas, so I had an 80 amp sub panel installed on the left wall. Next to that a HCWC with 25' cable, also a line ran up a round and down between the garage doors where I had a 14-50 NEMA outlet installed for the mobile charger. I can charge both at same time at 40 amps. 29-30 mph.

    GREEN EZ Pass

    Does anyone commute to NYC from NJ? I do and have an NJ ez pass with Green Discount but it does not apply for the tunnels. The off peak rate goes from $10.50 to $7.00 but only with a NY ez pass green discount. Do I need to apply for a NY ezpass with green discount and cancel my NJ ez pass?

    Where in my garage should I install my NEMA 14-50 outlet?

    Will you have one big garage door, or two individual doors? Will you park nose in, or back in? If you have two doors and park nose in, I would put it on the narrow strip between the two doors. That way, regardless of which side you park, the cable will not get run over by your second car when...

    GPS off by 65 miles

    yesterday, my 2016 Model S 60D GPS began showing the car moving in the opposite direction as I was commuting home form Manhattan to NJ. Is shows the car now in Oyster Bay, Long Island. The app shows the same. This messes up my air suspension auto raising, homelink and the speed limit signs...
