I *think* this is a v3 door handle but I've had them replaced so many times I'm not sure. The rear door handle no longer pops out, and the door now self opens whenever I get close with a FOB or whenever I put the car in park. It also makes a grinding sound instead of closing. What is the...

I got a Firman 3200W continuous generator and I'm charging my Model S at 3kW using the UMC at 24a/125v. It has a 1.8gal tank. Does anyone know how much range/miles it would add on a tank of gas? Wondering how big of a gas canister I should get...

Got a v3 door handle installed by Tesla Service. It's nearly impossible to actually open the door now. Pulling with regular force does nothing. I have to either pull about 20 times until it opens or push down on the door while pulling on the handle. I did schedule another service but I'm...

Now that the prices and specs are out. What are you planning to do?

Does anyone have experience towing a small motorcycle trailer with the coil suspension Model S? How bad does the hitch scrape on bumps? Our truck is getting long in the tooth.. with current truck prices I think it would make a lot of sense to just get a small moto trailer instead. We race dirt...

I have an existing SolarEdge system with a LG RESU battery. I have a separate critical loads panel that is backed up by the battery. Can I install a Tesla PW and have it back up the other sub panel in my house? Or does it need to be tied in with my existing solar system?

As title states, looking for rear facing jump seats for the Model S. Let me know what you have.

Symptoms: heat no worky. No customer facing errors. Dec 2016 75D Service mode shows two active alerts: THC_w0220_PTC_PtcFault and THC_d0015_cabinPTCHeater HV system diagnostics also show a malfunction in the PTC Heater. My first reaction was to check the fuse for the heater BUT it's...

Anybody else? The signs are now round European signs instead of the correct Murican rectangular ones. I want this Eurotrash off my American car please.

Doing a roll call of people's average experience with FSD Beta so far. How often do you have to disengage FSD Beta on your drives? This includes because it is doing something stupid, dangerous, or just going too slow and annoying other drivers. How often are you taking over from FSD Beta on...

Many of my Caraoke songs do not load, especially newly added songs. For example, The Weeknd - Sacrifice gives me an error no matter if I'm connected to LTE or WiFi. I would say that half of the songs in recent releases don't load at this point if not more. I've tried everything including...

I've done Plasti Dip before, but this time decided to go with Hyperdip in the Anthracite Grey color. I like these classic OEM rims but don't like the OEM color. My rims were also curbed in many places. Hyperdip completely repaired all the curb rash and leveled the surface, you can no longer...

I am planning on driving from California to Canada as next week. I will drive up the coast to Victoria then go to Vancouver, then Calgary. I see there aren't that many Superchargers in Canada compared to California but I do have a Chademo adapter to use that type of charger. Do DC charge...

Two of my Gen 2 door handles have partially failed. Wondering if it's possible to DIY upgrade to Gen 3. Has anyone done this? Can I replace it, drive to a SC, enter service mode and stage a fw update? Or would I need Toolbox for something like this? I've heard there may also be some...

I've been playing around with this some more. Got an FCW this morning on my commute when I was on an empty onramp and my car saw the rising sun and freaked out. So I went ahead and did the 2 scroll wheel reset right during the drive and that entire trip did not count at all. Thus, if you drive...

So I noticed that with one of the last updates, the car no longer shows the superchargers by default in the map view, and there is no way to enable that anymore. In fact, the icon to show superchargers is still there, but when I press on it, I'm prompted with a list of superchargers that I can...

So like many others, I've been having issues with my DRLs "burning out" on my Model S. I'm on my 4th set of headlights now. Tesla has changed revisions of the headlights throughout the years and we are now on revision F (mid 2021). Let's hope that the problem doesn't come back. The DRL's...

U.S. asks Tesla to recall 158,000 vehicles for touchscreen failures Wow. I guess Tesla saw this coming and started offering the goodwill fix. "NHTSA added that “during our review of the data, Tesla provided confirmation that all units will inevitably fail given the memory device’s finite...

I have grey 21" Turbines. They have some curb rash. Can someone recommend a paint to buy for curb rash repair? Tesla used to sell it but no longer does.

I need to order a liftgate strut as one of mine is leaking. The parts catalog online gives no way of ordering it, nor does it give a price. I've called all the Tesla service centers in my area and it just goes to voice mail or rings and then goes to voice mail. Is there a trick to ordering...

How do you check for sway bar link play on this car? 2016.5 Model S with coils and I'm hearing quiet clunks when going over bumps. I suspect the sway bar links. Anyone know what the best way of checking these are? I have a jack.

Looking to buy. Preferably the whole kit. Thanks.

At $3K, I think I'll give Tesla my money. Thoughts?

Saw a MS with those new ugly wheel covers recently. I'm curious if anyone knows how much range those add, just to see if the ugliness is even justified.

Right after reporting a stellar quarter: Tesla will slash employee pay and furlough employees

Today a bus full of children going to camp drove into me head on. Luckily, I was able to throw the car in reverse and floor it, and the only damage caused was a deep scrape on the bumper. So, I will probably need a new bumper. Since I have to go through the bus company's insurance, this will...

Can anyone explain this? Car is plugged into 120V receptacle but is charging at 4kW or 3*12A.

Is this intentional? I do have EAP with all these features already.

The other day I charged my 75D to 89% at an urban SC. Took it off the charger and left sentry mode on. Came back to the charge being 92%. So the car gained 3% while stationary and not charging. How could this happen?

I was driving behind a blue Model Y today and damn that rear end is ugly looking. Easily the worst looking rear end I've seen on a crossover. The pics don't make it look bad but that lower part of the bumper looks totally disproportionate to the small tail lights.

Is Tesla done with offering financing? Is there any way to get financing on a new solar order these days?

Anyone have insight on how the two compare? I'm looking at getting a battery backup and many installers are offering LG Chem instead of Powerwalls.

I need to haul some construction materials for a deck project. Has anyone been able to fit 16ft boards into the car? What's the procedure to carry materials with an open hatch?

This happens every time. Day or night. For those in the Bay Area, this is the offramp from Hwy 1 to Hwy 17 in Santa Cruz. Any ideas on why the car would do this? Seems like lines running perpendicular to the road are an obvious sign that it is not a driveable area... Can't wait for Full...

I just logged into my Tesla account and notice that any mention of supercharging transferring to the next owner is gone. I still have free supercharging. Am I correct in that Tesla is removing transferable supercharging altogether? If so, how is it not theft or fraud?

This thing is going to sell like hot cakes. Anyone else excited for it? Stunning car. GM really hit it out of the park with this one, especially the below $60K MSRP. I don't think a true mid-engine performance car (~500hp) has ever been offered at such a price.

I know they used to but I heard that Tesla is no longer offering loaners these days. Does the Palo Alto service center still have any loaners?

I have a fairly loud squeak in the back of the car every time I go over a bump, seems to be coming from the interior trunk area but not sure. Any ideas of what to look for/check? I do plan on using a stethoscope to search for it later, but maybe there are others that can point me to what to...

Anyone remember this? Tesla Working On Rattle / Squeak Pinpointing By Acoustics Via Phone Elon Musk on Twitter I'm assuming this never happened even though they're been "working on it" for a year. Anyway my car seems to have developed a squeak in the rear, seems like it's coming from the...

Let me know if you have one!

Looking for a set of Rial Lugano 19" rims. Prefer the gunmetal color.

My 2016.5 MS has a lightning connector in the center console currently. I want to replace it with a USB-C connector. Is it possible to buy just the cable, without replacing the whole phone holder?

Ouch.. glad I exited from the stock. 2018 Q3: Produced 80,142 Delivered 83,500 2018 Q4: Produced 86,555 Delivered 90,700 2019 Q1: Produced 77,100 Delivered 63,000

Introducing a More Seamless Navigate on Autopilot Supposedly rolling out in the USA first as a GA release. Will this be 2019.9? Anyone get this yet?

Can someone recommend a way to restore this next-gen seat? It's worn at the seams. Car has under 30K miles. Lots of products on Amazon, but don't know the best way to go.

We have a kid on the way and one of our leases is expiring. I really wanted to convince my wife to get a Model 3 but she didn't like the trunk nor the rear seats. So this is what we are looking at for $51K: 12/2016 75D with EAP, panoramic roof, turbines, and nextgen interior with 28K miles. It...

Assuming I get a used 3, and the original owner did not purchase EAP or FSD, do I pay the full price that a new owner would pay or the pre-March original order prices? Anyone know?

https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/03/05/tesla-cutting-more-jobs-at-fremont-factory/ How does this make any sense at all considering the scaling of sales and issues in service?

Hey everyone, one of our car leases expires soon and we were planning on getting an MS. However, after the recent price drop we took an m3 out for a test drive (P3D) and we found that it's pretty much all around a much better car than the Model S. If we were to buy one, it would probably be...
