    Please Tesla offer SR+ with premium audio so i can buy your car!

    Have you look at CPO or used Mid-range Model 3s? Most are under $40k and I THINK they come with Premium Audio and the premium features. (Someone correct me if I’m wrong). And on the plus side you get slightly longer range than the SR+ for when you need it.

    Does anyone know if the Induction wheels add height to the car VS the Gemini wheels?

    Badly repaired 2017 Model S

    I am looking for one. It has been super bad given the stay at home order or whatever and nobody is working and courts are closed.

    Badly repaired 2017 Model S

    I am stuck with a conundrum. Last May I got into a car accident, pretty bad and I was recommended a shop by an acquaintance. It took them months to repair the car and gave it back with minor issues here and there. Didn’t think much of it. A few weeks ago I got in a small fender bender...

    Model S range and interior update imminent?

    People buy the model S because it’s a sexy sporty sedan. The 3 and the Y are nice cars, but many people who own the S now and looking to upgrade may not be considering the 3 or Y due aesthetics.

    Is this in writing somewhere? I’ve never heard of replacement parts having a 1 year warranty.

    It’s transmodel. Respect the car’s right to self identify.

    Late 2016 / Early 2017 S Owners: How Are Your Daytime Running Lights Holding Up?

    I took delivery of my MS in April 2017. I’m on my third replacement and starting to worry about future replacements as I am only a few weeks away from hitting 50k miles and don’t want to pay out of pocket when I have to get my fourth one replaced if or when it fails.

    Supercharger- Houston, TX - Northwest Freeway

    Nothing really, It's not the best part of town but its not the worst. It's a pretty quiet area but I guess they keep one for precaution

    Supercharger- Houston, TX - Northwest Freeway

    Stopped by tonight. There were two other cars charging. I have a feeling it’s gonna be a pretty popular spot. If you want to be entertained from your car just try to keep count of how many times the security guard circles Rudy’s in his golf cart going 30mph

    Third DLR headlight replacement...

    I took delivery of my MS in April 2017. I wonder if there is something wrong with the batch from around that time. I’m at 45k miles. My first one died probably before 10k Miles, Second one in the 30k-38k range. (The other side) and then this one I noticed a few days ago (at about 40k Miles)

    Supercharger- Houston, TX - Northwest Freeway

    It was stall 1A. The first one. The one I tried in the middle didn’t work. I’m not sure about the other ones but 1A works at about 86kw

    Third DLR headlight replacement...

    Oh wow... $1100? I hope Tesla has found a better supplier. There is a clear quality issue with the current one if I’m having to replace one every few months. If you look close enough at some of the refresh model S in the road you will probably see some with the same issue and the owner may...

    Supercharger- Houston, TX - Northwest Freeway

    It’s not live on the map probably because not all stalls have power. I went today for lunch. Plugged my car in and the screen said “no power” or something like that. Moved it to another charging stall and it worked. They’re probably still working out some final kinks

    Third DLR headlight replacement...

    About to go on my third headlight replacement. Every few months the DLR around the headlight will go bad and one will be brighter than the other. I searched for similar issues and it seems to be happening to others. Should I be worried about out of warranty costs? I will probably be out of...

    Car going to SC for AC issue

    I just had my 2017 MS in for service this week for a similar issue. The A/C would be blowing, but no matter what speed i set it to, the air flow did not change. It made noise as if the A/C was blowing harder when I raised it but actual air flow was the same. Called Tesla support, they ran...

    Did Tesla just kill the Model S 75D?

    I thought the opposite, if given the choice between a 75d and a Performance 3, I would choose the S, acceleration is slightly slower but still pretty damn fast. Bigger, nicer looking but for me the thing that keeps pushing me to the S is the free supercharging and infinite mile 8 year...

    Supercharger- Houston, TX - Northwest Freeway

    Drove by last night. It’s a pretty big site even though there are only 8 stalls. They have all been installed. I guess they just need to clean up the site (it’s pretty dirty) and turn on power now.

    Supercharger - Dallas, TX - The Hill

    I just checked. It’s about a 50 minutes drive to Arlington SC and Denton SC. I’m crossing my fingers and really hoping this supercharger is completed by the time I arrive on Friday! Haha

    Supercharger - Dallas, TX - The Hill

    I’ll be visiting Dallas, by Richardson this weekend starting Friday and I’m hoping this one supercharger is open and running by the time I arrive. Otherwise I’ll hve to drive super far just to charge my car :-/ Has anyone called Tesla to get an ETA?

    Anyone filed taxes for the $7500 tax credit yet?

    Was anyone able to claim the Electric Vehicle Charging Station credit already? It's no longer showing on Turbotax and it is my understanding that it was renewed retroactively for 2017

    Diminished Value appraiser and/or auto accident lawyers.

    I’m not sure how it works in NYC but in Texas I am in the middle of a DV claim. Appraiser said $15k in diminished Value. Insurance company said $4500. Will probably end up somewhere in between. The company I used was autoloss.com they are based in Oregon but seemed pretty knowledgeable about...

    Lower Income model S owners

    If you make $50k and live in Texas, you can totally afford a Tesla, maybe a CPO or a very bare S75, which is still an amazing car. If driving a Tesla will make you happy, do it! other people spend that much money or more on things that are much less satisfying like drugs, alcohol or women.

    Pray that you dont get in a car accident

    Thanks! Yes I’ve been in contact with the Body Shop support people at Tesla and they’ve been great. I’m really not sure who is to blame for the parts never arriving/going missing. But today has been a huge headache changing out rental companies again, finding out my car won’t be ready this...

    Pray that you dont get in a car accident

    i have been in many car accidents. None my fault. But having a Tesla in the shop for over a month and a half is extremely frustrating and a huge headache. There has been back and forth between Service King Houston and Tesla about whether the parts were delivered or not and in the meantime i am...

    19" model 3 tires for Model S

    I tried searching for this topic but I have yet to find anything on this, I was wondering if anyone knows if the Model 3 19" sport wheels will fit the Model S, I'm not a huge fan of slipstreams, I like Cyclones better but the Model 3 rims look amazing and would look amazing on the model S

    How Happy Are You With Your Tesla?

    I would give Tesla a 90%. Unfortunately having my car in the shop for almost a month and possibly a few more weeks for minor cosmetic damage has left a bitter taste in my mouth. I understand a month and a half is nothing compared to what others have waited but in a few days I’m running out of...

    Feeling judged...

    You think that’s bad? I got my first Model S earlier this year while still in my 20s. The comments I got from people were bothersome even when trying to be complimentary. Strangers would ask me what I did for a living and I gave them a broad overview of what I do but it can get a bit intrusive...

    Model S with interesting DRL

    Actually. A couple of months after delivery. My (facelift) model S had a defect and one of the headlight DRL went semi bad. It looked exactly like those in the picture. SC replaced it under warranty but it could be that this person has two defective DRL and he hasn't noticed it yet

    New official Model S Fixed (all-)Glass roof sunshade

    I finally received my All glass sunshade on Thursday. Where do I start? It works... well. It's a hassle to put on because of the size and the little clips keep falling off so I have to reattach them. Once on it looks nice. I'm 6,2 and I have not encountered headroom issues in the...

    Current Multi-Pattern Seats

    I have the white interior. However, I had a loaner X with the cloth seats. They are MUCH better than I thought they'd be. The (p)leather trim gives them sort of a more premium feed than just plan old cloth seats.

    Model S Fixed Glass Roof Sunshade

    I ordered mine and getting it Thursday. I will update on whether it makes any difference. The car can cool down quick but in 100+ degree whether when there are no clouds, the A/C is not enough unless cranked up. Don't get me wrong the roof tints works extremely well 90% of the time but on...

    All Glass Panorama-itis

    @buttershrimp Can you let us know how the all-glass sunshade works when it comes to heat and aesthetics? I am still on the fence on whether I should order it or if it is worth the price!

    New official Model S Fixed (all-)Glass roof sunshade

    That's the thing I noticed. The radiant heat can be felt in the forehead. This is only on 100 degree+ days with no cloud coverage. So the glass roof actually does a decent job at keeping heat out in MOST conditions. @smilepak is yours the official tesla one? If so how does it look when...

    75 kWh Battery Capacity Upgrade

    I have a 2017 car with about 8000 miles. My range was 207, the upgrade only gave me an additional 28 miles to 235 when fully charged. Not even sure if that was worth $2000

    New official Model S Fixed (all-)Glass roof sunshade

    I noticed the official Tesla accessories store has a Model S All-glass roof sunshade for $150. I was wondering if anybody has tried it. It's black, it is mesh so it has holes so I was wondering how well it would work to provide shade or block the little heat that comes through the all-glass...

    Supercharger getting mostly Chademo speeds

    I have a S75, April 2017 build. I just came back from a road trip and had normal charging rates, starting at 94kw, however, on my most recent supercharges, I noticed that it gets stuck at 50kw, not one mile above, It's kind of annoying especially since it will make a second road trip...

    Model S Price Cut: How Telsa treats new owners

    The difference is that if you bought a TV March 30th and it drops $1000. You can easily go to Best Buy, return it and repurchase it. Some Credit Cards have price protection that cover this as well so you don't have to go through that hassle. The OP has every right to be pissed about the $9000...

    Upgrading to 75 just for resale value..

    I took delivery of my MS60 last week. I'm kind of bummed that I'll have to spend an extra $2000 on something I could have gotten for the same price I paid, had I waited to order. But anyways.... I don't think I need the range as I charge my car in my garage every night. I was wondering if...

    Black exterior w/ White interior Model S

    Glass roof or Sunroof... question..

    Hey Everyone! So I took delivery of the car on Wednesday! I do not regret getting the all-glass roof one bit. Yes, it is tinted a little bit darker than the panoramic sunroof I test drove and it does extend a bit further too. As a driver i don't notice it as much, however, I was the...
