    Frame Failure called "Normal Wear and Tear" by Tesla Service

    Tesla was trying to replace other parts, that's why the quote was so high, after removing the other parts the quote dropped down to $2,444, I have moved forward with the fix. I will be selling my car after I get it back. Thanks!

    So Cal Front Brake Job

    Can anyone tell me if the front brake job is just like any other brake job? Where is the brake fluid reservoir? I'm assuming if it is like a regular brake job, when pushing the pistons back in, the reservoir need to be open.

    Any Tips to Properly Dry Off your Tesla MS? (No More Tears)

    After I wash my MS, I will dry the entire exterior with a chamois then go for a small drive (about 2-3 blocks) on a road that has a max speed of 35 MPH so i can get up to max speed, when I return I then dry the exterior again and also open and close the doors, trunk and frunk.
