Replying to my own post. I completed this job in about 2 hours. One word of advice: when you are putting the bumper cover back on, make sure the tabs on the lower edge of the bumper cover engage with the slots on the underbody panel and that everything is aligned properly underneath before...

Got a G revision driver side headlight that appears brand new (still has clear plastic film on the lens) for US$190. I'm going to undertake this replacement myself. Wish me luck!!

I have a friend who bought an early M3 that had this problem when he took delivery. Since he works at Tesla (software engineer), he was able to get it fixed pretty quickly but it was very unnerving.

Trump has a knack for inane comments that show how uninformed and uneducated he is. Trump is just trying to somehow associate himself with a successful entrepreneur and technologist to bolster his own image.

Love TACC and use it almost all the time on the freeway. Except when it starts getting funky and braking unnecessarily. That happens when my lane is moving fast and the next lane over is stopped or traveling slowly. I think TACC is seeing these cars as possible merging vehicles and is trying to...

Just tried configuring a Polestar 2 and the basic model comes out to $65,000 before incentives. Since the Model 3 basic model is now $35,000 before incentives, I don't see how the Polestar competes with the M3. Maybe they meant it competes with the Models S? Also, it's not a beautiful car - kind...

I believe that most people would be happy with EVs IF they had ready access to a network of DCFC stations that was ubiquitous, easy to find, and readily available as the Tesla SuperCharger network. It's not the time spent charging, it's the uncertainty of how long the trip will take and the...

As the owner of one of the last RWD Model S 75 vehicles produced, I am sad to see Tesla discontinue the "low-end" Model S/X. I understand that they are trying to boost Model 3 sales by doing this, but the Model S/X 75 fills a unique gap in the product line that cannot be filled by the Model 3...

Thanks DukeofURL and MP3Mike. I did purchase "AutoPilot" and have been enjoying TACC, autosteer, self-park, auto lane change, etc. since I first got the car - so I assume what I purchased for $5K was "EAP" and therefore will get Nav on AP which I will similarly enjoy using. I did not purchase...

I'm totally confused by Tesla autopilot terminology. My Model S was delivered in June 2017, so I assume I have AP2.0 hardware. I did not order the Full Self Driving option. However, my dashboard display now shows the surrounding vehicles including the basic shapes of sedans, light trucks, big...

Sure! And maybe it's the other way around - Elon is patterning himself after Tony Stark (reality imitates art ;-)

Tony Stark was invented by Marvel Comics around 1963. However the film version of Iron Man was filmed in 2006/7, about the time that Elon and Tesla were starting to become well known. It has been said that the Tony Stark character, as played by Robert Downey, Jr, is loosely based on Elon...

Looks like Tesla added the clock to the dash display after the original messages on this thread were written. My 2017 S has a nice analog clock available on either side of the speed display.

Yes, exactly! I'm driving a Model S but the story is the same for the Model 3. Driving a Tesla reminds me of when I replaced my Motorola flip phone with an iPhone. It's not just an electric car - it's a whole new user experience, a paradigm shift. People who don't get that today (and many don't)...

From what I can tell, Tesla determines that your "hands are on the steering wheel" by sensing resistance to steering corrections that are initiated by the auto-steer feature. In my experience having hands lightly on the wheel will still generate warnings - you need to give a little tug at the...

This is nothing new - Tesla has a long history of high-level people leaving the company. The closer an employee is to the top (Elon) whether organizationally or functionally, the more at risk they are. Like many great company leaders, Elon is very demanding and has a firm belief in his own...

This is ridiculous. If you are all about saving money, buy the cheapest car you can. Cheap cars are usually very fuel efficient and you will save money on depreciation, insurance, and maintenance. Buying an EV, PHEV, or even a hybrid is not about saving money - it's about saving the planet...

This is a very weird accident. Usually an emergency vehicle on the freeway in L.A. slows traffic to a crawl. It just seems odd that a car in the carpool lane could be traveling at 65mph in this situation. Also, is that really a Model S? The wheels look right but the side windowsdo not seem to...

Lutz is just trying to get a job at Tesla! He's been a Tesla fan-boy since 2006 when the roadster was revealed. Tesla could do worse ;-)

Bolts are pretty nice! And readily available. Not quite the cachet of a Tesla but there's a lot to like.

I assume this was said "tongue in cheek", right? The revised MS is by far the best looking Tesla. And, ironically, black with the glass roof is the best color combo. This is not a matter of opinion, it is an unequivocal fact.
