    Passenger Seat jammed

    My 2016 MS P100D started having the same problem a few weeks ago. I described it over the app and the SC had me bring it for a motor replacement ($260), but after looking at at they said the seat was jammed and could not be fixed, and a new seat ($3800) was needed.

    Losing interest in the Tesla Brand

    2019 will be a tough year for Tesla. They have to become profitable, and the model 3 is the only way they can do it. If you think your MS investment suffered when the M3 price dropped, imagine what would happen if Tesla went broke!

    No loaner cars? Really?

    I made an appointment for the annual maintenance on my P-100D in January. When I arrived at the Service Center, the told me they had no loaners and called an Uber to take me back to work. When the work was done, they had someone drive it to my workplace and deliver it to me. Yes, they paid for...

    Why Tesla Will Fail

    I had a similar experience at the Rockville, Md Service Center. The frunk of my 2016 model S suddenly wouldn't open, so I called them, and after giving me some useless advice (try closing it and opening it again), they made an appointment for that afternoon. When I arrived, the guy at the desk...

    How do you pass time at the charging stations?

    Some of the ways I pass the time at superchargers: Walk the dog. Eat a meal. Bathroom break. Talk to other Tesla owners, Take a walk to stretch my legs and back. The nice thing is that you can do these things while your Tesla is charging. Gas station fill ups can take less time, but you have to...

    Be Careful with Automatic Lane Changes

    I was changing from the left lane into the next lane to the right when this slowdown happened. My car might have seen the traffic in the next lane over.

    Be Careful with Automatic Lane Changes

    The most recent 8.1 firmware update was a big improvement for my 2016 P100D. Autosteer is more stable and the increase from 35 mph to 80 mph on major highways actually makes it useful. I took a 220 mile trip last weekend and used it most of the way. I used the automatic lane change feature...

    FIRMWARE UPDATE! AP2 Local road driving...and holy crap

    My P100D Autosteering is performing much better after last week's download. I am optimistic that Tesla may actually get it working well soon. With the upgraded sensor suite it should be awesome!

    FIRMWARE UPDATE! AP2 Local road driving...and holy crap

    I found driving with AP2 on local roads something of a game of chicken--How close to the center line on the left or the curb on the right do I let the car get before I panic and turn it back to the middle of the lane? I haven't hit a curb or crossed over the center line yet, but came close.

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

    I just checked my model S and found the same 1 cm gap on both sides. I'm outraged! Tesla has had 4 years to get this thing right! If I had known there would be a gap I would have bough a Chevy. Oh wait--that means I would be driving a gas guzzling, air polluting, noisy dinosaur that goes 0-60...

    17.7.2 - Why did Tesla release Local Autosteer vs...

    I suspect Tesla is trying to walk a fine line between keeping customers happy and avoiding lawsuits. Software bugs can be very hard to fix. I am hoping they can get it working sometime this year!.

    Poll: Do your power folding mirrors work properly?

    I have the mirror-folding problem with my 2 month old P100D, especially in cold weather. I called the Tesla Service Center to have it repaired and they told me to wait for the problem to be fixed in a future software download--still waiting.
