    Blinking red T on mobile charger

    I just had the issue of charging stopping after a short time, replugged to car and got full charge but submitted the issue to service just in case. They called me to ask if they could connect to car with my WiFi. About an hour later, they called and said it was the charger and sent me a new one...

    Texas refuses to renew registration of Tesla M3 without emissions test

    my story: several years ago, before I traded up to our S, I lost vision in one eye due to accident and had to take a driving test to renew my license. I showed up to DMV in my track ready BMW M3. The DMV tester got in the passenger seat and while trying to adjust the seat hit the wrong lever and...

    Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

    Another OUTSTANDING Portland SC experience. Since the SC is 6 hours away, I save up my warranty issues for several months before scheduling, so I’ll usually have numerous items to address. This time was peeling chrome on both side mirrors, floor mat anchor velcro torn loose, bubbles on center...

    Fixing Door Dings

    We paid $250 for about 8 dings and am sure most of that is a minimum just to show up. Had a bit of challenge finding someone who knew Teslas and aluminum body specifics. The few I called gave me no confidence, so I asked the Portland Service Center for recommendations and they made all the...

    MS 75D delivery in 10 days, getting cold feet...

    Don't believe that all the negative you read on a forum is the largest owner group. Our purchase was next to perfect and the 1 mobile tech visit + 2 visits to a SC with needs has been outstanding! We absolutely love our S.

    Door opens automatically after park

    Call service. They will likely send a Ranger to your location to either adjust or replace the handle under warranty. As above, it's presenting too far and tripping the open function. In the mean time, for temporary solution you can set only the driver's handle to present upon parking or unlocking.

    Buyer beware. Buying a CPO Tesla feels like a SCAM.

    Sorry folks, the reply above was a twitchy finger on the touch pad. But since I'm here, I will say I agree with the title of this thread. A buyer must do their homework on any used car purchase, regardless of CPO status. Our last 3 cars were CPOs (BMW, Lexus, & Tesla). They all had cosmetic...

    disappointed of buying process! is this how it should be?

    And if your credit is any good, you can do better than Tesla either before or after the purchase. Even after the purchase, it's easy to refi before the 1st payment is due. Or, get a quote from their lender, then get pre-approved at a better rate from your own and don't worry about it.

    disappointed of buying process! is this how it should be?

    We got it in writing from the Owner Advisor at the start of the process.

    disappointed of buying process! is this how it should be?

    Our CPO purchase a few months ago was very positive, especially considering how traditional dealership experiences can be. It is true that you can't test drive the car you're interested in and the showroom staff likely know nothing of the process other than sending you to the online site...

    Owners delivery stories, photos and first impressions

    On a whim in mid July, we went to test drive a M3, but all they had was a MS to drive. 30 minutes later, knew we had to have an S ASAP. Then reality hit, so as suggested by the person showing us the cars, started looking at the CPO inventory. Kind of surprised how much money we could save and...
