    Tire sidewall damage, replace?

    Someone in the household, who I wont name, returned the car with this damage :) Does this require a tire replacement? More than just one? I just bought these tires less than 5k miles ago, and am really to minimize the fix cost.

    Sounds like in your case owning a car doesn’t make sense at all if you charge every 2 weeks with vampire drain and everything else you can probably walk the rest of the milage(??)

    My horrible experience in 10 months ownership of a CPO Tesla

    I had just as dumb thing happen to me when a tech rotated my staggered wheels ‍♂️. The wheels rubbed against the suspension and the car needed to be towed back to the SVC where they replaced that rim and tires.

    car left me stranded today :(

    Got an update this morning from service center, it seems like the wheels have been rotated despite me having staggered wheels. This in turn caused rubbing of the rim against the suspension! Tesla will replace the rim and tires due to it being a fault of their techs.. should have the car back in...

    car left me stranded today :(

    I did not have it done yet as they didn’t call me yet to preform the swap after getting the letter. My car was in service twice since getting the letter, so if that is the cause it’s a shame they didn’t replace it. Is there a thread where others had this brake lock and grinding noise due to the...

    car left me stranded today :(

    Was in service yesterday for a faulty 12v battery and to replace the steering wheel buttons under warranty, however today as I was pulling iut of a parking lot the front right wheel locked and there was a grinding noise, metal chipping away with every inch the car moved. Towed to service and now...

    My horrible experience in 10 months ownership of a CPO Tesla

    Its funny, I also got a cpo in Feb and its been to service 5 times now, so about the same rate as yours and its going again next week for a 12V battery and a rattle from the ateering wheel media buttons. One thing for sure, I’m not going to hold onto this car 1 day beyond the warranty.

    Supercharger - Forks, WA

    Possible it may have been also for my trip, however we were driving with a 1.5 yo toddler that was not impreby being in a car seat for many hours to begin with. More superchargers and destination chargers make these drives not only possible, but also comfortable.

    CPO prices coming down?

    I think CPO prices are worthless now that we have a car that is not actually refurbished being sold.. for all I know that car can have 10k of body work & paint to bring it to the pristine status of my P85D I bought in January, and I paid about the same as the prices you mentioned above. So I...

    How frequent is everyone seeing 3s in the Seattle area?

    Redmond area is full of them.. with the 5k/wk ramp this car would be the new Outback of the PNW.

    Supercharger - Bellevue, WA

    According to their FAQ - Supercharging "the Supercharger cabinet has technology to share available power between charge posts A and B. To maximize power, park at a Supercharger shared with a car that is nearly done charging. For Superchargers in urban areas, there is no need to consider these...

    Supercharger - Bellevue, WA

    Bellevue square is a great location for a good break to have a good meal and a restroom break while traveling, unfortunately it will very likely be used by residents of the east side to charge while they shop during the other time that it is not being ICEd out because those lots are so congested...

    Would you buy a 2014 Model S P85D now

    Meh that. I have a family to drive around and having an effective car to do that while not compromising one bit on the other times where I just want to enjoy a fast car with awesome handling that is the true combination for me. The newer car doesn’t move me much, and the EAD or FSD are not that...

    Maps update, failed?

    That sounds right, however i've never seen it in the past when rebooting and the timing with the new maps and the update I just got a few days ago make me suspect it may be a little more than that. BTW, regardless if it's an integrity check, they could improve the messaging by saying that the...

    Maps update, failed?

    Ah interesting.. I got 10.12 about two days ago so I figured I might have just walked in on my car as it was swapping the maps and stopped the process in the middle. Hopefully they have some sort of retry that will update my maps soon

    Maps update, failed?

    got in my car today, main screen dead so had to do a scroll wheel reset to get going. When it booted back up it said navigation system needs service and would not navigate. A few moments later old maps came back. Is there a way to reinitiate the update?

    Where is this rattle coming from?

    I have a CPO w/ 44k miles, IDK if it's reasonable to ask that for a rattle.

    Where is this rattle coming from?

    Happy they had it sorted for you! In my case they replaced the pillar, and then in another attempt they tried again to play around with the AC vents. It helped for about a couple of weeks but the rattle is back now and I am learning to live with it as my car was in service 3 times within a month...

    Fantastic deal, did you source the car theough a cpo advisor or online yourself?

    Personal safety while charging

    Gas stations have a mechanism to quickly recover from a hose being yanked out and securing the line, however that is done due to a design flaw that ICE car's can get going independently of if they are charged not as a security mechanism for being in danger. I think in the case you are feeling...

    New P85D owner has questions of other P85D owners

    My 16 miles one way commute is consuming 450 Wh/m and that is about mixed 70% highway with traffic and the rest is in town, also 21" staggered.

    New P85D owner has questions of other P85D owners

    I found the Tesla service really good about trying to solve issues. it's not as if you won't run into issue, you will but their attitude is always very positive and they go a long way to try and make things right. Hang in there, it's an awesome product and worth it. As for service, I don't see...

    No radio stations at all

    this morning was trying to play some fm radio and when I enter that tab there is nothing other than a loading indicator. No fm or am radios just nothing. My connection was upgraded a couple of weeks back to LTE so maybe they forgot to connect the antenna back? I tried to reboot the mcu.

    High CPO prices?

    The P85D are the unicorn here.. for example in my case I am a petrol head, love performance car and will not settle for even a 100D. Now, the P100D are ridiculously expensive, and even then they do not have the plus suspension anymore so getting a P85D+ was the sweetest deal possible as that car...

    Poor customer service

    I had an OK experience dealing with sales, service department on the other hand has been exceptional. They are always the same people and the service manager gave me her email and phone, always follow up and asks a few days how is the car and everything and overall very accommodating. Its not...

    Maybe I'll get Lucky

    Glad to hear you are okay, this seems like a nasty accident to be in :( For the 6 weeks that I had between putting down my deposit for the CPO and till I actually traded my car in for her, it was a constant feeling of please please don't drive into me all around and trying to avoid doing stupid...

    Rattle noise coming from front Air Suspension (2017-18)

    Ugh, I had the exact same sound where I thought the wheel is rubbing. Do you have an air suspension or 21" wheels? How did you get access to check this part ? do you have to remove the wheel?

    Where is this rattle coming from?

    Intresting you mentioned that piece, I tried pressing it and thought the sound went away only to find out it continued later even if fiddling with it. Might be two similar rattles and this is half the root cause. Good point, are those locates underneath the dash?

    Where is this rattle coming from?

    My MS has this plasticy rattle that I just cant figure out, its coming from the front left of the dash and I touched any piece of trim and material around and nothing makes it stop. Tesla attempted to fix the same and apparently that didn’t work either Any ideas if some one had a similar problem?

    Tesla being awesome.

    I bought a CPO and took delivery of it 10 days ago, during the process I had some small issues that I was not mostly happy about.. one example was that I asked to have the LTE retrofit preformed prior to delivery so I don't have to come back for a service appointment to have that done. I was...

    Software update 2018.6.1

    My car is updated to this revision but its mostly because the car was in service so they pushed that update. I would think thats also the reason why more cars are ramping up.

    Tesla scaling back service loaners for Model S owners?

    You're right. in this case Tesla cannot put their money where their mouth is because they don't have that money :) On a side note, I didn't do the napkin math, however the MS is a car with significant margins, I wonder if you took that into account.

    Tesla scaling back service loaners for Model S owners?

    You guys are tough crowd :) I am not advocating for Tesla to be losing money for service loaners. There are many owners in this thread and others that have received either no loaner or an ICE loaner, this doesn't even remotely chimes with the company's own policy: “Yes. And in fact, this will...

    Tesla scaling back service loaners for Model S owners?

    we'll see.. I am a new owner and so far CPO and Service was okay an I am definitely not impressed by anything, the car it self is amazing and I am really looking forward to many miles of enjoyment with it. With the hopes of not running into some of the issues others have reported in the...

    Tesla scaling back service loaners for Model S owners?

    Every car I owned to date has provided loaners at least at the trim level or above to the car that I brought to service. With Subaru I only got cars with < 1000 miles consistently for example, VW provided me with brand spanking new cars as well every time (again higher than the trim level I owned).

    Tesla scaling back service loaners for Model S owners?

    Hmm, I actually think the car should be the same or better as your car. you should not be penalized for having service under warranty, especially with some owners having to return multiple times for things like their door handles not opening. Sure, you can argue giving a P100D to an owner of a...

    Sun Roof or All Glass Roof?

    I actually prefer the solid roof, I had a panoramic roof on many of my previous cars and on my wife's ICE and have never used it to be honest, it just extra weight and extra things that may break. I fully understand why people prefer either the pano or glass, but it's not for everyone.

    Tesla scaling back service loaners for Model S owners?

    I guess YMMV, for me today I got in after having an appointment scheduled for a few days and when I showed up I mentioned I had noticed a few more issues that I initially thought and got a relatively negative feedback that they don't add up additional work and that I should have called ahead and...

    Model S Delivery Delay until June?

    It seems like they are building them in batches at this point; I know some who put their orders in as late as November / December got pushed back to March delivery. It also may be due to re-balancing games with the tax rebate as they want to maximisze the yield out of the 3 quarters following as...

    CPO Process Anxiety/Vent

    As I mentioned in the past, their process is not ideal and I have a list of 7 things I want fixed on my car which I got a service appointment for tomorrow.

    How to replace your Tesla door handle

    I am heading to the service center anyways on Tuesday and I have a laundry list of things that are annoying me about the car, this one ranks pretty high along with the tire rubbing when fully turned and reversing, and a rattle on the highway.
