    Anyone with an older S that purchased the Extended Warranty - Trying to determine when it expires

    I have found my contract and it is the same. The contract says" repair or replacement necessary to correct defects in the materials or workmanship of any parts manufactured or supplied by Tesla of the subject Vehicle that occur under normal use in the event of a Failure for the selected period...

    Anyone with an older S that purchased the Extended Warranty - Trying to determine when it expires

    My phone app says warranty ends on 11/11/25 or 50K miles whichever comes first. This is in direct contradiction to a confirmation I received from Tesla when I bought the warranty that says the extended warranty starts when the original warranty ends and extends it by 4 years or 50K miles. That...

    Anyone with an older S that purchased the Extended Warranty - Trying to determine when it expires

    Your answer seems logical that the extended warranty would extend both the years and miles once the original warranty. In my case I had about 30K at the 4 year point so I assumed the extended warranty would expire at 8 years or 80K miles, which ever comes first. Tesla service is saying that...

    Anyone with an older S that purchased the Extended Warranty - Trying to determine when it expires

    I have a 2017 S and purchased the extended warranty shortly after buying the car. The agreement says it extends the warranty for 4 yrs or 50K miles from the time the original warranty expires. Tesla is saying that the extended warranty expires when the car reaches a total of 50K miles or 4...

    Model S 75D - after updating to the latest 2022.45.12 FSD I am getting Autosteer Temporarily Not Available errors. The first drive of the day when I use Autopilot it usually works but after that initial use, it will not work, even if I stop for a few minutes and then try to use it again. It is...

    Looking for VP level contact, Tesla Energy, issues with PTO

    Reached out several times. All i get is that they are backed up. No changes to design. All went well to this point. 6 weeks to wait on Tesla to file with the utility is rediculous.

    Looking for VP level contact, Tesla Energy, issues with PTO

    Had 7kw solar and 3 powerwalls installed 6 weeks ago, waiting on PTO from PSEG LI. The holdup is not PSEG but Tesla filing the paperwork with PSEG. Cannot make progress getting them to file this. This is a step in the process that should have been completed withing days of installation...

    MCU1 + FSD/HW3 + Tegra replacement performance

    I have a 2017 Model S with HW3 and a relatively new MCU1. Since the HW3 upgrade reboot time is extremely slow, about 5 minutes for all but navigation and up to 15 minutes if you are navigating somewhere. The MCU also crashes every few hours on long drives. Not sure if the crashes are due to...

    AP 2 to AP 3 upgrade w/o MCU upgrade - MCU issues

    2017 S 75D. Had the FSD upgrade without the MCU upgrade. MCU had been replaced about a year ago and was working fine. After the upgrade, the MCU crashes about every 2-3 hours on long drives. It will freeze, or the navigation will freeze, or it will go blank then reboot. Rebooting (manually...

    Tesla rental car at National

    Looked into Turo and decided against that option. Most people's auto policy will not cover Turo rentals, same with credit card coverage of rental vehicles. They do not consider Turo as a car rental business. If you purchase the insurance from Turo, it costs almost as much as renting the car.

    Might switch to Taycan

    A friend purchased the 4S and he and I drove the Taycan Turbo earlier this week. Coming from my Model S 75D, and having tested the Model 3 Performance, the Porsche handles like a true sports car. Handling is great, no body roll, high corning limits and stiff suspension. Drives like a 911 with...

    Who achieves their EPA rated Wh/mi?

    MS 75D 2017. For 8 months of the year, I get slightly better than rated mileage, averaging about 270 watts/mile on the highway at 70 MPH. Short trips are much higher but that does not matter in terms of range. In the winter, I use 10-20% more on long trips. Much more on short trips around...

    Do you own a CHAdeMO adapter?

    Bought one two years ago when I purchased a Model S. Used it only a few times. Found it works about half the time at EV GO locations. Some locations will not connect, others work fine. Seems to be related to software level that the charger is running on. I have not tried it on Electrify...

    Residual Value - Using Tesla's New Leasing Option

    You neglected interest. A lease payment is a combination of interest on the outstanding balance and depreciation. If you use 4.5% which is the interest rate on Tesla's loans, the residual value is $27,184 or 55%.

    Buying a used 2017 Tesla Model S

    Try these sites to what is on the market from Tesla and others(only used Tesla). If you buy a used car from a private party, you can have the original owner buy the extended warranty if the car is under 50K miles and under 4 years old. You cannot do this if you purchase from a dealer. For $50K...

    Model S entertainment system problems

    I had similar issues. Service said to remove any USB drives and to stream music from a phone over Bluetooth. The computer running the screen hangs if there are any file issues on the drive. You seem to be using an iPod as a USB drive. Also, do a reboot by pressing and holding the brake pedal...

    Lease take over

    Does the car have Autopilot or FSD or rear facing seats? Is it Autopilot 2.0 or 2.5? What is the buyout amount at the end of the lease? Do you have the build sheet that shows the options and VIN. Any damage or repairs on the car. Thanks PR

    1st flat- bummer!!

    Why can't the sottozero 3 winter tire be repaired? The way you wrote this post it implies there is something about the tire brand/style and not the type of damage you have. What is different about this tire that you can't plug it or put a patch on from the inside? I did a search and could not...

    Supercharger - Hartford, CT - Leibert Road

    There is a SC in Manchester right off 84 just outside Hartford which is a better location for the NYC to Boston run. This charger is just North of Hartford on 91. Just used the Manchester charger on that trip and it is at the end of an outdoor mall with lots of choices for shopping or eating.

    Model 3 not recommended and also highest owner satisfaction from Consumer Reports

    CR reliability ratings are based on data from user surveys. They rated the car below average in reliability because owners reported enough problems relative to other brands to rate the car that way. They praised the way the car drives. I own a Model S and like others say on this thread, the...

    Owner Frustrated with Tesla Depreciation

    High tech products that change rapidly depreciate more quickly than products that do not change as fast. Phones and computers become worthless in a few years as newer and better models are released. A Tesla is more like a phone than a car. You can buy a M3P that is almost as fast as your MS...

    What do you guys think of this car?

    If you buy a used Tesla from a car dealer, the only warranty you get is the balance of the original 4 yr 50K mile and the extended warranty on the battery. If you buy a CPO car from Tesla, you get either a 4 year 50K warranty if the car has less than 50K miles or a 2 year warranty up to 100K...

    Don’t order SR or MR if your winter is cold.

    Range loss in winter is very much a function of the distance and type of driving in addition to the temperature. If you hop in a cold car and drive local roads in traffic for a short distance watts/mile may be 2-3x the normal summer highway watts/mile. You are heating the car using a...

    V9 Dashcam, have you made it work?

    Having issues with my dashcam. I got it to work but it seems to write files every minute to the USB drive for an hour. The problem is that it is writing files to the drive when the car is charging in the garage? I used the car last night returning at 10PM, October 13th. The USB has files...

    G Force for Tesla Model 3 Performance (0-60mph) and other Models

    You are assuming that the car accelerates at the same rate from 0 to 60. I have seen in other posts that the initial acceleration is much greater then falls off so that maximum G force is well over the average.

    EAP post delivery update subject to NYS sales tax?

    Not sure about the M3 but buying EAP after delivery on the MS costs an additional $1K. If it is the same on the M3, waiting to add it later will cost you more than any potential sales tax savings. I live in Nassau County and I pay sales tax on everything I buy from Tesla, including the...

    Lease Residual and Lease Payments

    Interest. If the car costs $80K and the residual is $50K then there is an average balance over $65K times 4%*3 years = $7,800 in interest. The actual average balance is higher than $65K because you pay more interest early on in the lease. So in your example, you are not paying $41K in...

    Model X 100D Lease vs Purchase w/ Loan

    A lease is just a long term loan that is not fully paid off during the term of the lease. You are paying $17K more for the option to turn the car in - putting the residual risk on the lessor. Just purchase the car on a 6 year, 1.5% loan. Put down the same cash required to get into a lease...

    lease calculation (interest) question

    One more thought. For a rough estimate of the interest on a lease. You borrowed $108,413, the value of the car reduced by any cash down. At the end of the lease the value of the car is $71,330. The approximate average balance is half way between or $89,871. At 5.04%/year the interest is...

    lease calculation (interest) question

    A lease is just a loan that you do not finish paying off. The end value is the residual. The difference is the depreciation on the car. This is divided by the loan term and paid evenly over the term of the loan. You are paying the interest on the balance of the lease which starts at the...
