    Body Repairs - The Woes of Owning a Tesla

    I have two, and I have always loved to tell anyone who asks how great these cars are to own. But after I got rear-ended at a stop light and went through the struggle to get body work done, I do throw out a huge warning these days. Don't get in a wreck! Even if it's not your fault, don't do...

    Considering buying a CPO and driving it home 800 miles

    I also did this. Bought CPO, one way ticket and drove it 800 miles back home. Great car for long road trips. Go for it!

    body work

    It is possible to get a Tesla repaired at a non certified body shop. Not recommended but possible. It is true that Tesla will not sell parts to non authorized shops but the shops can get parts from the Tesla service center in your area. The non certified shops will use your VIN to order parts...

    Autopilot gone?

    Last month I had problem with my AP1 going out and cruise not available. It would work some days, not others. Ended up being my seat belt buckle was not registering. It would buckle fine and the car seemed to think it was buckled (no alert saying otherwise). But I could not use AP or cruise...

    85D Model S 0-60

    This was from a discussion last summer. It was an 85D, not P. Not a rolling start with stock tires (I believe, can't remember 100% on tires).

    Two month wait for quarter panel?

    Yes, I think the certified shops definitely get priority (as they should). But I could not wait until March (7 months wait at that time). But it may end up being that much of a wait anyway. This should not be the norm. But others have it worse by not being able to drive during the wait...

    Two month wait for quarter panel?

    Yes, meant body shop, not dealer. Can't believe I said dealer! Non-certified body shop can (and did) order a QP from Tesla. They simply order through Tesla Service Center (using VIN), then pick it up. They ordered a variety of parts, all came in except QP and nose cone. I got rear ended...

    Two month wait for quarter panel?

    Got my wife a M3 in July and told her, "Best car in the world but DO NOT wreck it!". Heard so many horror stories about repairs. Less than a month later a 73 year old lady forgets to brake at red light and rear ends my MS! Was hoping the stories would not hold true, but I am on month 2...

    Considering Purchase

    Same experience here. I reserved the 3 right after intro but was worried it would be too small (I'm 6'4). I rented an S on Turo for a few days to test it out. Purchased an S soon after. I kept my reservation and now the wife drives the 3. I will say the 3 has just as much, if not more...

    My S85D and Tesla life at 50K miles

    I have AP1 and I admit I don't use it "fully" very often. But I use the TACC numerous times every day. It is almost worth it for TACC alone. I have to drive through a "speed trap" section of road daily and using this helps me avoid tickets. I really enjoy the traffic aware cruise very much...

    Anyone get a 3 and regret not getting the S instead?

    I have both... and love both. It is very subjective. A bigger car does not bother me and I love all the extra space of the S. The 3s seats are more comfortable. The S is faster but the 3 is more nimble. Door handles and entry (fob) are so much better on the S but the 3s center console (arm...

    1 - 3 month delivery on new orders - seriously?

    Makes sense and I have no problem if everyone gets theirs tomorrow. I "kind of" lost faith in the reservation system during this process. I waited 2 years and 3 months to get mine (current S owner). In that 2 year 3 month wait, I never got to configure ahead of the general public. I saw the...

    1 - 3 month delivery on new orders - seriously?

    I am a huge Tesla fanboy but the reservation system on this Model 3 was kind of a joke. I reserved Apr2016 and a current Model S owner. I waited for that configuration email forever. Never got it until the rest of the world did on 27Jun18. I did receive my car last week (the last current...

    Tesla is not slacking off with deliveries. WOW!!

    I almost activated my Model 3 insurance on Monday but thought I would wait a few more days. Glad you stated that, I will definitely wait until day before my next delivery date. Hope you get yours soon with no more delays.

    Tesla is not slacking off with deliveries. WOW!!

    Same here. Got "confirmed" delivery for 16Jul. Wife was upset I agreed to that date, as she can not make it. But I told her not to worry, been waiting since 28Apr16 (current S owner, as well) and I would have been shocked if that date held up. Only 6 more days to go! Email today saying no...

    Premium Connectivity Package and Order Date

    I do sign in my account and check on it, once I found out they don't always send emails. I am in US (east coast though). Have contacted Tesla few weeks ago and they stated they would "look into it". No word since.

    Slacker radio stuttering?

    As stated earlier, mine started with .42 FW update and was very frustrating. Received FW update 50.2 last night and streaming music was flawless all day today. I think once you receive your update, the streaming problem will go away. (Fingers crossed)

    Slacker radio stuttering?

    Yes! Started a few weeks ago for me. Tried reboot, as well, with no better results. It is very frustrating.

    Took 5 weeks to receive my CPO. I did pick it up myself (Chicago to NC) to save a little time, it was an awesome first drive!

    0 to 60 on a 2015 85D?

    Out of the 28 runs, he hit 3.7 only once. But he had a decent amount of 3.8s. Not sure about the 90D.

    0 to 60 on a 2015 85D?

    I don't have the link handy but one poster here filmed his 2015 85D at a local drag strip. He ran 28 consecutive runs and ranged from 3.7 to 4.2 seconds for 0-60 times. Seemed like he averaged 3.9 when SOC was around 85% and up. His slower times of 4.2 came when he was about 75% or so. I...

    Documenting CPO in Tennessee - new MS owner

    Thanks for the info. But is the 0-60 really 5.2 for S85D? Beautiful car raphy, nice pics! I love the grey rims and have looked everywhere for grey 19's but guess they don't make them anymore? Your 21's look awesome though! Congrats!

    Documenting CPO in Tennessee - new MS owner

    I can definitely confirm that the 0-60 is way off. I do believe they should immediately take the 295 range off website, if not true. I got hoodwinked from it since it was my greatest factor in getting the Dual. But I will say I am very glad I paid up for AP1. I got a non-AP '14 85 loaner...

    Tesla moments

    Took my family to Las Vegas/Grand Canyon trip last week. They wanted to go to Zion since they heard my stories from there many years ago. Having recently purchased a MS, I could not imagine driving anything other than a Tesla to Zion, so I rented a MX. After leaving St. George charging...

    Documenting CPO in Tennessee - new MS owner

    I agree. That is a pretty big typo since it cost me thousands of dollars. Main reason I paid up to the dual motors is because of the 295 range stated on the site. A typo that was present on the site for a year or more? A typo that is STILL on the site today (just checked)!! If the typo...

    Documenting CPO in Tennessee - new MS owner

    I watched the CPO sites for about 4 months before I found my 85D. They are hard to come by but do show up from time to time. Has pano, AP1, 19" cyclones and all options (except dual chargers and jump seats) for 71k. They put on new nose cone, which I really appreciated since my state does...

    My CPO experience is already awful.

    I got a copy of the 200 point inspection on my CPO last week, which pointed out what items "passed" and what was "repaired". I also requested a copy of the alignment, which they provided. Not sure why they would say they can't provide it. Hope they find you a great replacement- at a...

    It's true the CPO process is as BAD as they say...

    I think if I didn't go pick it up it would have added at least a week or two. Happy to hear you finally got it, cgwiita! Congrats!

    It's true the CPO process is as BAD as they say...

    Condition was better than I expected because my car has a lot of miles on it 36k. They pointed out a small dent on rear panel that is, honestly, very hard to see. You have to catch the reflection at a certain angle, even then it is hard to notice. They said my local SC will take care of it...

    It's true the CPO process is as BAD as they say...

    I received my CPO on Wednesday (19Apr) after ordering it on 20Mar. I was surprised to get it so soon after reading many CPO experiences taking so long. I decided to pick it up instead of being delivered, hoping that would speed up the process. I picked up from SC in Chicago. Felt rushed...
