    2021 Plaid - Here we go again! SSDD and tires...

    Same Crap, Different Day (and Car). My P90DL ate through tires like an island rescuee at a buffet. I was "glad" to get 10K out of a set of rear tires... no track time, no fancy stuff, just regular driving. I dealt with this issue through several brands (OEM Michelin, Continental, and Falken)...

    Starlink: Modifications, Ideas, and Concepts

    First, I would like to propose to the forum admins that a SpaceX subforum named Starlink might be in order. Maybe even a top level forum with subforums for "installation", "experience", "mods". Anyway, my question is best method to extend the vertical pole that extends from the Long Wall Mount...

    Any possible out on FSD within first year of ownership?

    I expected more from FSD, and for how I use the car, I don't expect it'll be anything more than a parlor trick to show people. Certainly not worth the $10K I spent on it. All my "valid" uses for auto-driving are adequately met with EAP. I typically only use EAP on trips and on the Interstate. I...

    2021 Tesla Model S Plaid 1:18 Diecast

    When, if ever, is Tesla (anyone) going to offer the 2021 Plaid in the same manner as the previous cars? I really like the detail and size of the 1:18 diecast from Tesla. The closest I can get is the P100D with Arachnids in Pearl White... but the screen is the wrong orientation and the trim isn't...

    2021 Plaid was DOA this morning...

    Overall, I'm happy with car. Yeah, I don't like the driveline shimmy at ~45mph, but as long as it isn't damaging anything, I can live with it until a fix comes along. I'm less happy with Tesla Service. This morning, for no apparent reason and without warning, my car was dead dead. I parked it...

    2021 Model S Plaid Blackvue Dashcam Install

    Yes, I did a search in the entire forum for "Blackvue Plaid" and had no hits. The auto suggestion feature of the search engine suggested this link, but it was for a Model 3 and had no bearing on my situation. I was fortunate enough in my P90D to have the unused 12v constant power plug (unused...

    Aftermarket Plaid Graphic Emblem Placement

    I really liked the look of the Plaid graphic emblem as seen on the 20 cars delivered at the event in CA. As I figured, some (many) enterprising companies took to making third party emblems for those who weren't fortunate enough to be invited (I wasn't). I ordered and received an emblem from...

    Model S Charging Invoice History

    Okay, so I sold my trusty P90D to a fellow TMC member and with it goes my free unlimited supercharging :(. I'll miss that car, but I'll really miss the free charging. On my current car, I've seen invoices for charging somewhere (in the app, under Service or the webportal; I can't find them right...

    2021 Model S Post-Delivery Gripes

    Maybe someone from Tesla will browse this thread and take the gripes back to the design team? Yeah, wishful thinking. Keep it clean and constructive. I took delivery of a Plaid on Wednesday, June 30th. I've had a week to drive it and experience some of the "bugs" in the refresh model. 1) The...

    Using API to gather individual battery cell voltage?

    I thought I saw this information somewhere before, but it may have been a screen dump from one of the Tesla hackers rooting efforts and not an output from the API. I trouble-shooting a potential battery pack issue and would like to gather my own data in conjunction with Tesla Service running a...

    Windshield Repacement and AP Camera Recalibrate

    I did a search and there's a lot of dialog about windshield replacement and camera recalibration, but nothing about what my service advisor told me today. So my car seems to attract rock chips. I've accumulated 7 in the last year. My insurance covers 3 repairs per year, then they dictate a...

    Compatible lug nut?

    What "standard" make and model of car uses the same lug nut as a P90D? Maybe BMW? I noticed today that one of my lug nuts was gone. Last time it was off was when the front drive shafts were replaced a couple weeks ago. I seriously doubt the Ranger forgot something like that. I'll order a...

    Can the Radio Flyer Model S fit in the back of a Model S?

    My Radio Flyer Model S finally showed up and I had UPS hold it for pickup so Porch Pirates won't car jack it. :D If I fold down my rear seats, can the boxed Radio Flyer fit in the back of my Model S? I don't want to have to drive my truck into town just for this. Thanks.

    Attention Tesla.com Web Master!

    This is unacceptable for an intelligent website like tesla.com... For those that are grammatically challenged, the subject (seconds) is plural. I tried posting on the official Tesla forums, but the two buttons to Save and Preview are inactive on my browser for some reason.

    Supercharger - Scott, LA (Lafayette Parish)

    I thought I had read on this forum about the new superchargers going up in Scott, LA, but I just searched and couldn't find anything. So this will be the official thread for announcements and updates related to construction. There is a new library going up in Scott, LA, a small city within...

    WTB: Nose Cone - Did I miss the Classifieds sub-forum?

    2016 P90D. My black nose cone is looking pretty poor. Lot of deep dings from road crime (gravel?) and finally someone got me with a truck hitch (I assume) in a parking lot hit and run. I pulled it off, masked the chrome and repainted it. It looks "better" from 10' away, but certainly not Tesla...

    Model S Trip - Lafayette to Dallas

    I typically don't take my Tesla on long road trips... trips that require more than one courtesy supercharger stop (Houston or New Orleans). I made an exception this trip and I'm glad I did. Here's my experience: We left Lafayette Thursday morning on a fullish charge. I'm paranoid and never...

    South Central Louisana Owners Rejoice!

    We finally get a supercharger in Lafayette Parish. New Tesla Charging Station In Scott Before now, we had to go West to Lake Charles or East to Baton Rouge. I try to maintain a personal count of other Tesla's in Lafayette and I'm up to about 6 including myself. 3 X's and 3 S's. Two friends...

    Have any P90D owners upgraded to a 100kW battery?

    I intentionally sought out a pre-facelift car as I didn't like the duckbill look of the current Model S. On top of that, I sought out a Titanium Metallic color because it is the most appealing to me. Midnight Silver was my second choice if I couldn't locate a TM. Luckily I found exactly what I...

    Tesla Roadster v2.0

    I watched (or at least tried) the Tesla Semi event online. I don't know how much bandwidth they allocated to that event, but it wasn't enough. Between dropouts, I managed to see the higher points of the Semi, but the Roadster stole the show for me. Sharp looking, no doubt, but a question the...

    Diecast Model S Woes - I have a MC Red, I want a Midnight Silver

    I've been hitting eBay looking for the 1:18 official Model S diecast models. There was a healthy mix of Red and Silver. Since my car is closer to Silver than Red, I ordered a Silver. It eventually arrived, the box was factory sealed in plastic with a label that indicated Silver, the box showed a...

    Driving around all the time in Ludicrous mode...

    ... is it somehow harmful to the vehicle or it's components? I can't see that it matters. Aside from the obvious additional strain on hard accelerations, it should have no effect for casual driving. I don't really even see much of a difference on range when driving around town. I typically...

    Model S Turbine Wheels Annoyance...

    Does it bother anyone else that the turbine wheels are not side specific? This has been a car pet-peeve of mine for decades. Some manufacturers make directional wheels opposite for each side (the correct way), some are too "cheap". I wouldn't normally consider Tesla "cheap", but this lack of...

    2015 Model S P90D reports as P85D

    Moving along in my negotiations for a Tesla and have a strong candidate on the hook. When I run the VIN through Carfax, Autocheck and VehicleHistory, they all report it is a P85D rather than a P90D as shown on the rear fascia. Was there not a digit in the 2015 model year to indicate 85/90...

    Looking at 2015 P90D in TX

    I've been shopping for a Tesla for a while. The nice thing is the longer I look, the better the choices get. I'm enamored by the Titanium Metallic exterior with Tan Next Gen interior. Unfortunately, Telsa doesn't seem to be, as they no longer offer it. Any conspiracy theories as to why? Now to...
