    New Model 3LR delivery mystery

    We ordered a Highland M3LR the second week of January with a projected delivery date of Jan-Feb. The delivery date has been extended several times and is now projected as late as May. Delivery waits and reschedules aren’t a new thing for us, as we have had seven Teslas over the years and this...

    Tesla owes me a refund, and my Registration is late

    It has been more than 6 weeks and still no license plates. Any idea how to get Tesla's attention?

    Incorrect Tesla sales strategy?

    June 30, 2023 I think most of us are very aware that Tesla is trying to close out the second quarter with a bang. As a stockholder, I certainly endorse the strategy. Unfortunately, I think they have a blind eye in one particular area that I would like to mention. There is a vehicle in...

    Unpredictable Gull Wing doors

    We just picked up our 2023 Model X a couple of weeks ago. This is our second Model X and our fifth Tesla. Everything is really positive and there are many improvements that we really appreciate. The only problem we have is that the gull wing doors seem to have a mind of their own. These problems...

    Car disconnects from Tesla app

    We have a 2021 Model S refresh, LR. We have had it for just about a year now and it has been a great car. We have a new development that we are having some difficulty understanding though. We use an iPhone 13 and an Apple Watch 7, both using LTE and Wi-Fi to communicate with the car. Until about...

    Mobile Service experiences

    I live in the Chandler, Arizona area which is a suburb in the South part of Phoenix. Recently, I have had two mobile service visits, one for a tire rotation and one for a very minor repair. I just have to tell you how thrilled I am to have this type of service. First of all, the service itself...

    Rice Krispy wheel warning

    Yesterday, while backing into the garage, I heard this snapping, crackling and popping sound and thought the whole drive train in my new Y was falling apart. It was so bad I called Roadside Assistance because I sure didn't want to drive the car to the service center and have it break down...

    Some reassurance

    Hi folks. Just thought a bit of reassurance might be of help for those worried about current Tesla quality. We took delivery of a new LR Y 10 days ago and, to date, have found a very slight (almost imperceptible) overspray...it will rub out pretty easily...and a slight wrinkle in the headliner...

    What the heck am I going to do?

    We decided more than two months ago to replace our Chevy Volt with a Model Y Long Range and ordered it on July 24th. We wanted red so it came to just under 55k. A big part of our decision was to be able to trade in the Volt and they agreed to the deal. Subsequently, we jumped through all of...

    To buy or not to buy in Albuquerque?

    We live in Phoenix and we're looking at purchasing a second home in the ABQ area. (In case you haven't heard the rumor, it gets HOT in PHX in the summer is true!). Anyhow, I see that there are no TESLA sales or service centers in NM for some reason. (Could it be political, do you think?) My...

    Wireless headphone usage questions

    I recently bought BeatsPro wireless headphones. I was able to connect to the Tesla via bluetooth just fine and now I'm trying to figure out how to use them. My wife uses hearing aids, and I don't, and we both enjoy listening to the music Tesla includes with the monthly subscription. She, of...

    2019 Raven S total failure at 75mph-Chapter 2

    Two days ago I posted the following: "We drove uneventfully from Phoenix to Santa Fe (the car is a dream!) but, on our return trip to Phoenix Monday morning, we had a total shutdown on I-40 about 40 miles east of Flagstaff. We had enough power to limp off the freeway, got to a good parking...

    2019 Raven S total failure at 75mph-Chapter 1

    We drove uneventfully from Phoenix to Santa Fe (the car is a dream!) but, on our return trip to Phoenix Monday morning, we had a total shutdown on I-40 about 40 miles east of Flagstaff. We had enough power to limp off the freeway, got to a good parking area and then soon lost all power. In the...

    Autopilot total failure followed by self repair???

    I have a 2019 S Raven with FSD. It has been virtually trouble free and delightful to drive and operate WITH ONE EXCEPTION. I was almost 500 miles from home and experienced TOTAL autopilot failure, including even basic autopilot. I think a clue is that this happened after the car was parked in an...

    New Model S with old software

    I hesitated to complain about this but I'm afraid I have to do just that. It has now been one week since I took delivery of a new S, Hardware 3, FSD, Long Range etc (in other words all the whistles and bells). Because I traded in an X I knew the software was out of date (2019.7.106). It should...

    Shout out to Supreme Window Tinting at 602-550-8468 in the Phoenix area

    JR and Sherry just left the house after tinting my second Tesla and just wanted to let everyone know how good they are!

    Remove front license bracket assembly on a new S?

    I recently purchased a new MS. It came with a fairly obtrusive front license plate bracket I'd like to remove. The good news is Arizona doesn't require a front plate so there's apparently no legal reason not to. It happens to be bolted to the underside of the bumper with some sort of bolt that...

    There I was, sitting in the dental chair...

    We ordered a new LR S on 4/30 and, other than receiving confirmation of the order, had heard absolutely nothing since. Well...this afternoon, in the dentist's chair, I received an email that we could pick up the car tomorrow...!? I haven't seen anything to the effect that folks are actually...

    Sirius Radio won't stay up

    Probably 80% of the time I re-enter the vehicle I need to re-tune/re-enter Sirius Satellite Radio despite actively listening to it just before shutting down and exiting the vehicle? Abut 20% of the time it's automatically up and running when I start up again, just like you would expect it to be...
