Coming up on 2 years of ownership in January'20 and 33,000 miles. Wondering if anyone has had the 2-year service and can share what maintenance was performed and/or parts replaced or fixed. My 3 is an early production, VIN 00284X.

Has anyone had to replace their tires on their model 3 yet? How many miles did you get on the first set and which version of the 3 do you have?

Yesterday morning while driving my son to school I was rear ended in my Model 3. I was waiting for traffic to clear to make a right on red. I was the first car at the light. Looking left for a break in traffic when.... Bang! It was loud and jarring. I didn't realize what happened for second and...

hey all, just wondering if anyone can share insights on this particular issue. Software update tried to install overnight. In the morning I see the update failed and now im getting an alert that says “Software update required. Contact Tesla service”. I drove the car and everything is fine as...

Not sure if this has been discussed yet. There appears to be an interior camera on the rear view mirror housing. Not sure what it’s purpose is but I speculate Tesla can pull the recording logs of this camera for review (for example to see what the driver was doing when an accident occurred)...

Anyone else experience that the 3 will not release the charging cable until the car is "woken up"? Usually that means opening a door before removing the cable. Kind of annoying, especially when I have to step over the cord to get to the door and then walk back to the cord to unplug. Just...

HI All, I'm at 2,500 miles on my 3 and loving it. A few small bugs so far but my biggest gripe is the wind noise when traveling at 60 MPH+. I'm wondering if anyone has ideas for aftermarket wind noise dampening solutions. I'm open to testing out ideas if anyone has any. Thanks

Welp.... Murphy’s Law strikes again. Leaving work today around 3:00 and just as I exit the parking lot I see a tire pressure alert telling me to pull over. Sure enough there is a nail in my tire. 3’s digital display shows 14 psi. Glad the car alerted me because I didn’t notice it. What’s worse...

Anyone else observe this glitch?... when changing from reverse to drive, the side mirrors get stuck in the downward facing view. They’re supposed to shift up when you put it into drive. This started for me with the recent software update.

Some features I'd like to see added or updated (some have already been mentioned) : Pop Up view of Song/Artist when you advance to the next track using the scroll wheel when the Music menu is hidden. Audio mix level preferences so you can save a mix arrangement for various types of music (for...

Just wanted to share this tidbit with Sirius Subscribers. Since the Model 3 does not have Sirius just yet (though I'm thinking the hardware is there its just not activated )... I was able to call Sirius and have them give me the Online/App subscription. With that you can bluetooth from your...

Hi Everyone, I wanted to share my recent experience with my new (pre-owned) Model S. I recently started a new job that has me driving to Ontario (California) from San Diego one day / week. That is 90 miles each way. Fortunately, there is a supercharger in Temecula should I need to stop on the...

Hey Guys - I thought some of you here may have tackled this kind of DIY project before. My pool's hot tub (the kind that is separated from the main pool by a spill over wall) has no heater. The old gas heater died on the previous owner. When I bought the house it had no heater. The hot...

For those of us who have been here for a long time and caught TSLA early, it can feel like we are investing gurus. Some of you may indeed be gurus and brilliant investors. However, I am not, I think 99% of us are not, and would like to humbly share a thought about prudence, conviction and...

Wondering if there has been any whispers as to when they will start selling the CPO Model S's.

I accompanied my father today to bring his 85 in for his 5,000 mild tire rotation. They gave us a 60 and being in hot South Florida we immediately noticed the AC fan maxes out at 7 vs. 11 on the 85. I searched the forum and the tesla site for confirmation that this is indeed correct and could...

Wonder how the market would react to Ives joining the tesla team. His first passion was cars, per this article: These Are The Fabulous Rides Of Sir Jony Ive | Cult of Mac Maybe a possibility if Tesla paces for auto market domination.

Hello All I am seeking your feedback and level of interest for Tesla inspired designs I have been developing. The design below would be printed on T-shirt with the design drawing upon inspiration of the model s turbine wheel. The shirt would be very high quality: 100% SKAL certified...

What's the deal with companies selling Tesla logo'd merchandise? I have seen a few products (floor mats, apparel, etc) with the Tesla logo offered by independent merchants. Does Tesla simply not care about trademark enforcement / bigger fish to fry?

I'm really happy to see JB sharing in the limelight with Elon over in the EU! Over the past few years it seemed like JB did not get much press time. The videos coming out of Germany and Amsterdam are great. I'm hoping for more JB exposure in the future. Personally, I think JB is an unsung...

Anyone know the lowest price a used model as has been sold for? I would be interested in compiling historical sales stats for used or preowned S's Something like: age| mileage| spec | options | price | date of sale

Just thinking about these two awesome companies and how they are developing amazing technologies. Elon must live the most exciting and stressful life. That said, looking at what is planned for 2014 I see the following milestones: SpaceX plans to launch every month test the dragon abort...

...Not me, but my father. I have been talking to him about Tesla for years. We test drove a Roadster a few years ago, too small and not practical for him. The Model S will replace his Panamera. I think he's going love it! Very excited for him, now the wait begins. His Build: 85 kWh...

Does anyone here know if the Telsa Battery Pack contains "conflict minerals"? If, yes, which? I'm not trying to instigate a fight or moral judgement, just curious to know if the battery pack contains these materials. To the original question, would large scale adoption of Tesla cars...

Just curious of any forum members are lined up to fly on Virgin Galactic? Better yet, anyone paying for their flight with earning from TSLA?

Feel bad for this guy! Per OP I'm actually looking for advice here on what would be my best course of action to hedge the risk I've taken, or is it better to get out of this play completely. I've shorted TSLA starting at $100 and through various points till 170. I'm seeing no end to this...

Hi All, I need some help from the pro's. Is this user error or does saving and sharing a spec'd Model S in the design studio not really do anything? I attempted to save a design and clicked email. The email shows a pic of the car which shows Paint Color and Wheel style but nothing else...

HOLLYWOOD To the disappointment of thousands if not millions of devoted fans, Elon Musk announced today via Tweet, there will be no Iron Man suit. In recent months rumors of an actual Iron Man have spread viral on social networks, online forums and in the hallowed halls of San Diego...

Not wanting to spend 100k I'm playing with the design studio to build a Low budget S. I have not pulled th trigger, just playing for now. My budget friendly config is: 60kwh Grey exterior Tech package Pano Roof - splurged on this, love the view Parking sensors Super Charger enabled 19 cyclone...

Just a suggestion. It seems the forum has grown and is very active the days. I want to suggest a section where Mods can select high quality threads to be highlighted. There is so much to read here and I don't want to miss the best of the best. Other forums do this, seems like it would be good...

Anyone out there who have a Model S and do not own their residence (i.e. renters). How is it working out for you? Did you install charging equipment in your landlords house? My garage has an unused washer/dryer outlet. Can you get by using only this? Thanks!

July 31, 2025 WASHINGTON - With annual production exceeding 400,000 units, Tesla motors has changed the global automobile marketplace. Lusted after by Business Executives, praised by Soccer Moms, and subject of lunchroom debate by tweens to grads, their brand has become a global cultural...

Hi All, I'm looking for advice from the experts on board. Do any of you have suggestions on how to invest pre-and-post Q2 announcement? If you had a nice round $100K on the sidelines, how would you deploy it over the next 6 months? Appreciate your thoughts. Thanks!

I'm not sure if this has been discussed before. Will Telsa introduce a bigger battery before the Gen 3 is available? And if they do offer a 100kwh+ pack, how would that change things? In two years a used Model S 60kwh will come down to a price that is within reach to a lot more people. I...

Hi Guys, Just curious how many others there are like me. I've een obsessed with Tesla since the Roadster. Read the forums, scour the streets, discuss to no end. Invested at the ipo and again on dips. I dream of owning the S but it really makes no sense for me. I walk to work for 5+ years...

Just some fun Model S art I'd like to share with you all. I do cartoony illustrations for fun, this evening the Model S was my subject. Let me know what you think! (Mods, please move if posted to the wrong forum)

I'll cut to the chase. I am a Tesla shareholder and enthusiast. I want nothing more than to see Tesla succeed. Today I went to the new store at the UTC mall in San Diego. I sat in the floor car with my father (who drives a Panamera) and Mother (who drives a BMW 5). They both have heard me...

Just another thread to share your prognostications. 1) When will Tesla accept reservations for Gen III? 2) How many reservations will they receive in the first month? My guesses - 1) 12 months prior to launch 2) 5,000 units in the first month assuming they hits a mass market price point

Hi Southern Cali Tesla Enthusiasts! Some of you may be familiar with the Touch A Truck event. For those who are not , it is a great event put on to raise money for Childrens Cancer Research. The fun of this festival is that hundreds of cars, trucks, buses, and vehicles of all kinds are...

Greetings Telsa Fans, I've read on here where some have suggesting towing a trailer for extending range and I've always assumed they meant a gas trailer. However it occurred to me a battery pack trailer could be designed around the small roadster battery. I would think it could be designed in...
