    Door fit and air leakage, self adjustment?

    I have a 2017 MS. I've been dealing with wind noise issues since delivery in March. Every "fix" seems to make it worse. The last fix is so bad that water comes in through my window during a heavy rain/wash. If anyone finds a DIY solution, please share :-)

    Small Fire, NBD, right?

    I just got home from the SC. They already had all of the pictures I posted here...which is creepy... They will be keeping the car for the “unforeseeable future” after looking at the car for about 10 minutes (I also have other issues such as awful wind noise & need my display replaced, so that...

    Small Fire, NBD, right?

    I have only disconnected the 14-50 plug from the wall about once a month when I'm on an overnight road trip, so 7 disconnects since I've had it.

    Small Fire, NBD, right?

    I originally thought that it was due to a lack of a solid connection as well (short was the wrong term for me to use I guess). However, the fact that the UMC thermal fuse didn't cause a shut down and the electrical fire smell I am still smelling from the car 12+ hours later makes me think it's...

    Small Fire, NBD, right?

    Sorry - typing in a hurry during a meeting :-)

    Small Fire, NBD, right?

    I did all that. Nothing more I can do until Tesla looks at it. Everyone lived. No real damage was done. Could have been worse. Not going to get upset about it or worry about it. Not sure what the cause was, so I'm not sure who to be upset with, the electrician, Tesla, or both. I'd rather just...

    Small Fire, NBD, right?

    Sorry, I figured the pictures gave it away. I use the 15-40 plug & the mobile connector :-)

    Small Fire, NBD, right?

    I thought they did with a revision in 2014. Tesla issues recall for Model S power adapters, releases software update to avoid overheating Our Thermally-Fused NEMA 14-50 Adaptor Has Finally Arrived - 2013 Tesla Model S Long-Term Road Test

    Small Fire, NBD, right?

    **Before anyone says anything - outlet installed by a union electrician, 6 gauge wire, 50amp breaker.** 2017 MS 60D with 19,000 miles Last night I came home & plugged in. I went to grab my briefcase out of my rear hatch & I smelled something familiar...electrical fire (I was a firefighter for...

    Uncorking official for most 75Ds!

    I had my annual service done Thursday (2017 MS 60D, 18,000 miles)...for some reason they kept the car overnight. I just called & they did not automatically do this to my car, I’ll need to make another appointment and bring it in. I was told I needed to request it, which is why is wasn’t done.

    $55k for loaded M3 with 310 mile range

    Also - AFAIK, the M3 will not include a loaner car for service, it will not include the roadside assistance of the S/X. We know for a fact it does not have free supercharging, but I am fairly certain that the S/X will always have freedom supercharging with a referral code based on the comparison...

    $55k for loaded M3 with 310 mile range

    You could make the same argument about a BMW 3 series and a 7 series. Differences are minimal, but there is obviously a demand. Personally, I need the cargo space of a full sized sedan/hatch back to carry presentation equipment to bring to clients.

    Driver's door interior panel separating

    Had this happen on my 2017. Took it in, SC repaired it. Happened again at the SC. I punched the took as hard as I could & it popped back into place. Never been an issue since. I'm a bodybuilder & fairly strong, so I just think the car is afraid of me now

    Autopilot for a 120 miles daily commute: is it realistic?

    I have a 2017MS that I drive ~85 miles daily on Chicago highways. I use autopilot for almost all of that trip. Like others have said, the AP does nag you to keep your hand on the wheel. That's fine. I use it as a passive driving system. I keep my hand on the wheel & I do pay attention. However...

    Model 3 release candidate spotted with 10 cameras

    Maybe I'm crazy, but if 2 more cameras or a GPU upgrade are needed for FSD doesn't it seem Tesla to: 1) Free hardware upgrade for those that paid for FSD already with initial purchase 2) Raise the upgrade price for those that didn't purchase to cover the new hardware costs. People who already...

    Model S accident - seeking advice

    I made an account just to post on this: It actually looks like a failure of the door. The Nader bolt is still attached to the door frame. While that is what should happen, the lock from the door should still be attached even in a high impact crash. I would guess that the locking mechanism did...
