I'll let you know when I get that update next year.

What does that even mean? It bit the head off a bat?

I'm always able to get a hold of a live person at my preferred service center (Van Nuys, CA).

I ordered those yesterday through America's Tire. Today they called and said that the tires are not being manufactured yet and have no confirmed date when they will be. On the bright side they offered to give me the Michelin Super Sports for the same price. America's Tire is the best.

I have a 2013 P85+ and I get about 221 miles at 90%. There have been a few issues, but the car has been the best car I've ever owned. I think mid $20s for a Model S is a good deal, provided it's not beat to hell. Any car is going to have problems, but likely most of the common issues have...

Plaid powertrain no doubt, but unlikely to have a plaid mode acceleration similar to the ludicrous mode in S/X. It will probably have sport, standard, chill, and tow modes.

Don't forget to divide the warranty in half since they are staggered and can't be rotated.

I had mine (P85+) replaced at the end of April. Here are the parts: Correction: Drive Unit - Rear - Large (Remove & Replace) Parts Replaced or Added Part Quantity ASY,HARN,EPB CONNECTOR COVER(1030201-00-A) 2.0 Side Motor Mount Assembly(1028034-00-B) 1.0...

Lucky. Maybe mine cost me since I am on the extended warranty.

Warranty doesn't cover the wearable items like tires.

I'm not sure it will be covered under the warranty.

As another California attorney (not as long though), I second this. Jumping straight to hiring an attorney is way overkill. I'm sure it's an MCU failure issue.

I like your optimism. I hope you are right.

19'6" i believe. So, if you have a standard 20' garage, just hope your garage door is slim. Luckily I have a stacked 3 car garage so I can spill over into the 3rd car spot if need be.

500 miles.

Just tell them you need a Model X tire.

Or if you leave it in N and then open the door. I do that every now and again and it beeps a few times and goes to P.

Nope, just battery change.

Update: The problem was something to do with the rear subframe. They will replace the subframe and motor mounting brackets. Covered under the extended warranty. Bonus: I actually got a loaner this time.

I just got mine replaced in Los Angeles area. It was about $280 including tax and everything. The battery itself was listed on the invoice at $160 and roughly $100 for labor. The mobile tech did it in about 30 or 40 minutes.

Where did you get the floor mat from?

Mine just started making the clunking noise while in reverse. Generally only when I'm slightly braking and rolling slowly backward. It's definitely coming from the drive unit. Here is a video I captured. I have a mobile appointment on Thursday, I imagine it would be covered under the...

Where are the Apple superchargers for macbooks? Also, I'm sure the battery in a macbook is a little bit smaller and less expensive than in a car. You're comparing apples (literally) to oranges.

Being cooped up all day makes people more sarcastic.

I think it was common knowledge that batteries degrade over time.

I get it, it was sweet when I used to see speeds of 375 miles/hr, gone are those days. But in general, I'm good with it. I'm sure Tesla will eventually offer relatively inexpensive battery upgrades. Someone posted a while back that they paid $11k for a replacement 60kw pack through Tesla that...

The fact is that Tesla never guaranteed any supercharging speeds. They chose to slow down the charging speeds to protect the batteries and make them last longer. I'm good with it, it still charges magnitudes faster than my home charger. Hopefully they will have some of these limitations...

It sounds similar to what I get. Although I get the whine when the car is awake and presumably communicating with the mother ship. It goes away after a while when the car finally goes back to sleep.

How about a P85+ with no sunroof or glass roof?

The problem is that the batteries are not defective. They won't replace batteries that aren't defective. My original battery pack is running strong, getting about 222 miles at 90%.

They would probably leave it if the prior owner changed the badge. I recall going to a Mercedes dealership a long time ago and there was a badged E500 for a great price, turned out it was a rebadged E350. And yes, they will not do ludicrous upgrades, I checked, although that was about a year...

If you can swing a bit more money, this is the one I would get... 2016 Model S | Tesla

I'm sure it would be difficult to convince you that you're wrong, but it's that attitude that makes your statement correct. The faster we all adopt energy efficient vehicles and renewable energy sources the better off we will all be. It may take a while to have a replacement for all vehicles...

How much did you cough up for the garage floor, if you don't mind me asking?

Sometimes mine will give me the high pitch whine when it's communicating with the mother ship. Those days it loses much more. Normally it only about 3 to 4 miles per day.

That is a brown recluse, it will kill you if it bites you. Just sayin...

I would think that even if they nerf the charging speeds down a bit on the M3s it won't matter much. Even if they cut it in half, it would still be capable of 125k charging speed. I would cream my shorts if I could get that speed on my car. ;)

I would say if you are considering a P90D I might be inclined to find one of the facelifted ones. Late 2016 is when the new front fascia came out. But then again the price keeps rising. P85D is a solid choice and the performance will be very close to a non-ludicrous P90D.

The + suspension is key in my opinion. I love the way mine handles. I think if you get a P85D before a certain date in 2015 then it will have the + suspension. If you are buying from a private seller, you can always see if they still have the original window sticker which will have the...

I know I ordered a CT, but these are the posts where it becomes obvious that I'm not really a "truck guy." I.e. I have no idea what you just posted.

I agree, or call it a safety issue. I remember the good old days when Tesla would fix my rattles.

One note on buying the Ludicrous upgrade. I briefly had a late 2016 P90D and the service center said they wouldn't do the ludicrous upgrade. Tesla obviously does some to its own used cars it sells. Why they wouldn't do a ludicrous upgrade for $10k when it probably involves a tech going in and...

I think he meant 62 grams for all the electrons flowing around the entire internet at any given time.

You'll get to the beach on one charge most likely, but not back. I notice quite stark range differences between the going there and coming back.

Had mine replaced a couple weeks ago. Mobile service - total cost with tax $279. The battery itself was listed at $160 on the invoice. Mine is a 2013 P85+, first battery to be replaced at about 63k miles.

Well, since the LTE upgrade is like $500, this upgrade is getting very tempting at $2,500. Now just to get clearance from the tower (wife).

If you haven't gotten the 4G LTE upgrade, does that come with the new MCU?

I don't think this trick works if you have an IPhone.

Tesla: 38 seconds, driver: 14:56 - lol
