    TESLA MODEL S stopped working... CAR MAY NOT RESTART

    I've had this issue several times. First the mobile tech replaced the 12 volt battery, but he thought the 12v was probably actually fine. Fine for awhile and then more error messages. Finally, the car wouldn't start. Trucked over 400 miles to nearest service center. They replaced a high voltage...

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

    My S is at the service center for its third visit in the last year - March 2017 delivery. Getting a new front drive unit. Last time was something electrical having to do with the rear drive unit, time before that was something else electrical - I think the 2nd visit was actually due to the...

    Any tips to increase your chance of getting a Tesla Loaner while in for Service?

    Would love to only worry about having a non-Tesla loaner for, what a day or two? I live in New Mexico, and my 2017 75D has spent most of the last month and a half at the Scottsdale service center. I had a Nissan Sentra for nearly three weeks and then a Nissan Rogue for two weeks - finally...

    First road trip with AP2 - wow!

    I have AP2 and knew that I was loving it for the most part. Then, I dropped my car off to get wrapped and had to drive the husband's Subaru. I couldn't believe how painful the change was! Then I had a bad cold for most of the work week and was having to drive myself on my long commute. I'm just...

    I need reassurance I am making the right decision on a Model S

    I had a 60D and recently upgraded to 75D. I bought the car for the Autopilot features because of medical reasons. But man, that car is awesome! I will NEVER regret this purchase. Like others have said, I drive more now because it's more fun. I never thought I'd be saying that. I get home from my...

    Autopilot 2.0 is dangerous

    I think Autopilot has the potential to not only be extremely useful but also to be lifesaving. A lot of people need some assistance with driving that you'd never know just from looking at them.

    Will 3 affect S delivery times

    I felt a production slow down with my Model S. I ordered in early November for February delivery (website said late Jan-early Feb). My DS told me in late Jan. (after checking with the factory) that it was a "solid" Feb. delivery. Then I waited and waited...Then DS tells me "They're going to...

    Inconsistent "Vehicle Hold" display indicator. What is going on?

    A few days ago while on Autopilot (AP2) in stop and go traffic on a completely level road, I kept getting the extra message about releasing hold and I had to keep pushing the go pedal. I thought maybe it was Autopilot making sure I was paying attention, but now I think it was a bug.

    AEB on hardware 2.0 this week

    Hoping it's not too sensitive - which I assume is a major concern for the engineers. I don't want to get rear ended because the car thinks that isn't as bad as hitting a tumbleweed. Recently, my car abruptly slowed for a large tumbleweed blowing across the highway.

    Model S Owners--How much have you spent on accessories to date?

    I've bought so much stuff it's like having a baby. 2 Abstract Ocean fob covers AO round blind spot mirrors (don't like) large Rola trunk organizer (love) Tesla cable organizer ($25ish) lots of cleaning supplies (cloths, towels, chamois, waterless carwash, Reload, spray nozzle, supplies for two...

    INSURANCE - the Gecko was right

    I was very pleasantly surprised that my coverage from State Farm only increased $270 for the YEAR from what I was paying for my 2015 Honda Civic. I "only" have a 60D, but that's a lot more car than my Civic was. So I'm paying $660 every 6 months, and we already have the liability jacked way up...

    8.1 Easter Egg!

    Count me as a new owner who's not stopped grinning. I updated last night to 8.1 and actually was giggling as I played with the new headrest adjustment. Still can't get over how the car improves! I know everyone says this all the time but actually experiencing it is fun. And my 10 y/o daughter...

    Quality Control Issues Q1 2017

    I took home delivery of my 60D 10 days ago. After reading this forum, I was pretty nervous especially since I live more than 400 miles form the nearest service center. The only issue is a bunching of the seal around a rear passenger window. I just called my DS to have it noted so that it could...

    40k in 15 months

    I've had my Model S 60D for a few days now. I'm not only grinning but laughing out loud with giddiness. I don't think it'll ever get old.

    Several of you in New Mexico (or East) About to Get Happy

    I'm in New Mexico and got my new Model S 60D yesterday. Awesome car! Big Tesla grins yesterday :) No service center nearby, so the cars are factory detailed and delivered in a bag.
