    Will you sell your Model S or X once your Model 3 arrives?

    I have a 2017 MS75D. I've seen the M3 in person...twice. I love my MS and can justify the high price tag because when you look at it, instantly it's a luxury car - nice tan leather seats, roomy and just sexy. For the M3, it's a nice car - smart and compact. When the M3 is parked next to a S...

    Just got new update: 2017.42 a88c8d5

    With this new update, my homelink isn't working 100% of the time. Tonight, I pressed it a couple of times and my garage didn't open. At first I thought we didn't have electricity. Luckily, I have a remote control for my smaller garage so I walked in and opened from the inside. Otherwise, I...

    Have my MS AP2 bumper fascia off...

    Could you tell me how you can remove the front emblem? I am having a hard time removing the screw...probably not using the right tool/size!

    What kind of nut is this?

    This is for model s 2017. Location inside the Frunk that secures the front emblem. These are as good of pictures as I could get. Looking to buy the right tool to remove the nut and get the badge out. Thanks!

    Did you name your Model S, and if so, what?

    Jeannie - From the series Archer. Archer got a black 1970 Dodge Challenger 440 spy car on his birthday which he nicknamed Jeannie I too got a black birthday car! Though it was a from me to me lol

    My S75 damaged by Tesla just days after delivery

    I could be wrong but even if the paint is not 100% matching to the rest of the car, PPF would blend it in and won't be noticeable.

    Black chrome arachnid wheels installed with spacers

    Carbon fiber side mirrors...wrap or actual CB? Where do you get them? Look awesome!

    Does your Tesla try to take every exit on the Interstate?

    It doesn't do it for me...until it does. I would say it happened once and I tab the brakes and maneuver back to lane. This was probably in a stretch of 10 autopilot sessions. I've learned to either be in the middle lane or far left when going faster than the rest. Takes the "guessing" away...

    NEW FOB HOLDER

    I wanted to buy one but was told they didn't even know where they came from. Glad you got one without even asking!

    EAP question for current owners

    It all depends on what you are trying to get out of it. For me, I turn it on to offload mindless task to the car: keeping distance, keeping in lane. Instead, I pay attention to the cars ahead of me, coming up from behind and around me. This makes me more aware of my surroundings and can be...

    Can Replacing Rear Speakers Improve Bass base sound on MS?

    Is there a way to replace the stock amp?

    Can Replacing Rear Speakers Improve Bass base sound on MS?

    I do want to upgrade the standard amp if that's even possible. I was told if I had the premium sound, they have an amp that is better.

    Can Replacing Rear Speakers Improve Bass base sound on MS?

    I will once I get all the pieces figured out.

    Want to return new Tesla

    I want to return my 1 month old tesla too...then I want to get a white one with SAS and the Premium sound lol. Though I like my leather better than the vegan ones. So I guess I can't complaint too much lol

    Can Replacing Rear Speakers Improve Bass base sound on MS?

    Oh wow thanks for all the replies! @BoerumHill Thanks so much for the youtube videos! Also, I sent an email to LH and Larry Ho was the one who replied which was awesome!

    Can Replacing Rear Speakers Improve Bass base sound on MS?

    Oh Sorry Light Harmonic Model S.4D part 1, basically one of the few (if not the only) "plug and play" speaker swap for the tesla.
  19. E

    Can Replacing Rear Speakers Improve Bass base sound on MS?

    I guess I wasn't being clear...if I were to replace all 4 speakers with the LH, would the rear speakers still sound lacking/small due to how Tesla has configured the overall sound system?
  20. E

    Can Replacing Rear Speakers Improve Bass base sound on MS?

    I've been reading up on the sound system for MS. Here is what I know: UHFS shares the same front and rear speakers as the Base System. The front and rear speakers are the same. More power is been distributed to drive the front speakers. This is apparent because the front has bigger better...

    2015 Model S w/ Misaligned doors

    I'm a little gun shy after my last visit. I'm sure they'll try if you ask them.

    Firmware 8.1

    Oh yeah, it needs some work. There was one time, it tried to do a perpendicular parking in between two cars that were parallel parked. I thought it would parallel park into the empty spot after the 2nd car, nope. It started doing the perpendicular back in and I hit the brakes once I knew what...

    2015 Model S w/ Misaligned doors

    My car 2017 MS 75D came like this too...It's not perfect...I noticed there is a bigger gap on the left side of the hood than the right side too. It's not noticeable until you take a soft measurement tape.

    That didn't work..Didn't press to hard as my finger nail is wider than the bubble obviously.

    SC Botched a paint touchup

    It's becoming to the point where going to the SC is like going to a doctors office - feeling like I did something wrong. Not only that, I know the drill by now: It's like drive 40 miles round trip for them to take a look. I have to convence them that it wasn't there before or they/body shop...

    SC Botched a paint touchup

    The rough paint was a manufacture paint defect at the very edge of the hood - that was part of the work order fixed by the bodyshop. They did an excellent job. I can't even see how they match it up! The bubble was not there before. From last week's polish, I didn't see any chip or...

    SC Botched a paint touchup

    I had a schedule to get my chipped windshield filled and the rough paint spot at the very edge of the hood fixed. The car was dropped off at the SC and they drop it off at the bodyshop within the area. I got the car back yesterday. Windshield chipped was filled. Bodyshop did an excellent job...

    Sales Follow-up

    No follow up it's been two weeks. I did run in to my OA casually asking how the car was. There was a survey and I didn't sugar coat anything. Take it however you want to take it Tesla. I doubt they'll read those...

    Good Deal on a 75D Model S?

    That's a really good deal! It's also red! Plus it's not carbon fiber décor which is really flat. Congrats!

    Good Deal on a 75D Model S?

    If it has premium package, SAS, sub zero, upgraded sound and dual charger, that's a hell of a deal! Though I'm not sure what you mean by "just about every option..."

    75 and 75D variants increased performance from July 1st - software and hardware improvements?

    142miles left. Not sure what SOC is that lol. In any case, uncorked or not, 4.5 gets met to 60MPH I'm happy with that!

    75 and 75D variants increased performance from July 1st - software and hardware improvements?

    It's a couple page back...2017 MS 75D April 2017, VIN 194XXX. Took delivery a week ago. Evidence that it is strictly a software since my car has the old drive unit.

    Car broken into, items in trunk stolen.

    I haven't tried this but this youtube video shows it someone could get into the frunk...not sure if it's true. you know how it is these days, people would do all kinds of things to get view. In anycase, link and fast forward to 11:00 or so.

    75 and 75D variants increased performance from July 1st - software and hardware improvements?

    Road condition, wet...there was a minor spin in the back wheels even though this is a AWD. Very minor... While this is not 4.2, it is consistent with the updated 4.4 specs on inventory.

    75 and 75D variants increased performance from July 1st - software and hardware improvements?

    My theory is, the SC can do it at will. They did it on my because they had to reset everything during their inspection before the delivery. I'm guessing they just did it there as part of the process. I know someone who had a Mid June date where her car needed service. Half day of work for...

    75 and 75D variants increased performance from July 1st - software and hardware improvements?

    Slight uphill...but it's very slight and might as well be flat.

    75 and 75D variants increased performance from July 1st - software and hardware improvements?

    The highest number is 200. It will definitely go way pass it as you hit it hard.

    75 and 75D variants increased performance from July 1st - software and hardware improvements?

    Ha! It was needed here. Go in your car and try to video horizontally on the mph while driving. Then try vertically. It's easier to hold the phone vertically while being able to capture what I needed.

    75 and 75D variants increased performance from July 1st - software and hardware improvements?

    I have a video that might prove I have the performance update. While it's not 100% accurate, but I was at 60mph way before the 5s mark. At 5s, I was at 68 (when I decelerated). Production Date: April 2017. VIN in the 194XXX Here is the link:

    Considering Used Model S vs New Model 3...

    The more I think about it the more my OA wasn't working for me at all! Like some of you, I initially was interested in a CPO. His first reaction was to steer me to a new stating its about the same price. He just wasn't interested in sitting in from of the computer and work the search days on...

    Considering Used Model S vs New Model 3...

    For me it was Q1 before I was in the tesla family. Now that I am, I was told by my local tesla I might get priority...might.you know I learned a lot about how they say things at tesla. They don't say anything in specific terms. They say things in a much more vague way almost as if they are...

    What do you usually do when your Tesla is charging?

    I ran into this yesterday. I plugged in at a local grocery store just to see how fast it would charge. 30amp, decent. I on the other hand was bored. I went grocery shopping. Didn't get anything other than bananas. I don't cook. Went into a thrift shop, came out within 2 minutes. I didn't...

    Considering Used Model S vs New Model 3...

    It's solid black. Honestly, you would be better off paying $5000 more to get one built for a couple reasons: 1. guarantee 4.2s vs going by what my DS told me. 2. SAS. There could be questionable repair costs down the road out of warranty but in the mean time, you are going to enjoy the...
