    Mirrors unfold "randomly" in my garage

    I've changed software updates to standard and not advanced about a year ago. It seems since the last update my mirrors now have a mind of their own, especially in my garage. Unfortunately my single car bay opening is a bit tight for a wide body car like the Model S, so from day one I've always...

    How many of you had Door handle issues on your Model S?

    Same here...right rear door handle stuttering, I replaced switch and hardness myself for $99. Pro tip: Tape the chrome outside of handle to prevent scratches from the window regulator track.

    Tesla called me and told me I needed to upgrad my brand new 200A panel. Does that sound right?

    Well, I might not have read all the responses, but the reason for new panels is determined by local electrical codes. In a conversation with a 3rd party installer, most main panel configurations in the Southwest US use an integrated Meter design, utility meter and breakers in the same cabinet. I...

    Ok, my 2014 MS85 browser completely stopped functioning last week. I've exchanged several emails with support doing multiple resets and power off cycles with no result. They suggested I make an appointment for service. Yesterday I took it to the SC and an hour later they told me everything...

    Stock breaks down below 300

    Anal-ists regularly upgrade and downgrade stocks and many times conflict with one another on buy/sell/hold recommendations. I think the Mercedes announcement had just as much to do with the price drop. They indicated availability second 1/2 of 2019. Tesla may lose more Model 3 reservation...

    2018.12 has ruined the audio system

    I've sent messages (2) to support, only for them to apologize for my concern, and sent it on to my local SC in Santa Monica, CA. I haven't heard anything back in a month !! I suspect it's definitely an unresolved issue and they hope I'll go away...

    Sound EQ settings changed. Worst sound?

    I agree 100% with your observations! Perhaps you should create a survey to bring more attention to the degraded sound issue?

    2014 Telsa Model S85 - 3,715 Miles - No AP - Los Angeles - $55k

    Ok, I just got an email back from my service advisor after specifically asking about purchasing an ESA for my current S85. What a surprise! He said I COULD NOT purchase an ESA because my car was originally procured as a CPO. He stated, "Granted it isn’t as much coverage as the ESA would be...

    2014 Telsa Model S85 - 3,715 Miles - No AP - Los Angeles - $55k

    You're absolutely correct deaddog, they are two different things! When I received my package from the broker, there was an offer to purchase the extended warranty, for the original owner I assume, but I wasn't interested given the car had another year of factory warranty left to shake out any...

    Just for reference, I bought a similar Model S w/ 17k miles from a Beverly Hills auto broker 10 mos ago for $51k, minus the cold weather package, but add the Pano Roof. This is SoCal.

    Does Tesla.com recognize a privately purchased vehicle?

    Last March I got frustrated with the endless Model 3 delays...I went ahead and started looking for a MS in the Low 50k range. After just 2 weeks of searching, I found a lease return at an auto broker that met my requirements including color with 17,850 miles. Got it for $50,500. I figured I...

    Question about used 2013 Model S 85

    Looks like a fair deal to me! I have a similar 2014 and can't wait to drive it everyday. Who needs AP when I'm headed up an on ramp and leave the mustangs in my rear view mirror. Also...there isn't very price depreciation from 50k :D

Shouldn't have to though, but after all the misconnected communications I would have phoned a friend or made the...

    Glass roof?

    I live in SoCal and have no issues with my black on black 2014 S85 with pano sun roof. I do have side and back window tinted for privacy...not heat protection. The best feature to owning my Tesla is the ability to pre-cool the car from the Tesla app, so I rarely enter a hot car!

    Do you Wave or Wave Back at other Tesla drivers on the road?

    I'm a new Tesla MS owner of 3 months now, and either flash my high-beams or wave at passing Teslas with no reciprocation! WTH...buncha stuffed shirts?

    Leveraging "Time of Use" Rates

    Ok...I'll look into a digital meter and TOU-D-A. However, we're retired, run our dual zone 8 ton total A/C fixed at 76 degrees all day and 73 at night. Out of courtesy to SCE, I only charge my MS in the early morning hours. Also, in 3 years I've never owed anything at the end of my relevant...

    How Big a solar system to get?

    The max allowable without having to have the system designed by a licensed engineer. Also, in Ventura Co, permit fees apply on larger systems above 10kW as well as plans have to go thru the regular plan check process.

    How Big a solar system to get?

    I 'opted out' of the digital meters many years ago, and now own my analog meter. There was an issue in San Diego where the new digital meters ordered from Itron were programmed to 'run backwards' at 1/2 rate. Solar customers were outraged, hired attorneys, and required San Diego Power to...

    Buying CPO Tesla

    Interesting catch! And yes, I looked for the Signature emblem that 'was not there'. The broker had listed the car as 'Signature equipped' and indicated it had all the signature goodies. After seeing and driving the car...It became a moot issue.

    Buying CPO Tesla

    For reference, In April 2017, I purchased an early year (March) 2014 MS 85 with 18k miles, for the negociated price of $50k even minus fees and tax. It was listed in Autotrader by an auto broker in Los Angeles. The previous owner was a movie producer and had recently got into surfing at 55 yo...
