    13 months @ 17k miles. Went to service twice, one for clicking noise in the rear axel which they remove and re-lube. Second problem was front brakes screeching like crazy at low speed braking, they also fixed that. All good now.

    Thank you Tesla for making a Autopilot affordable to more people

    Hold out on FSD, knowing Tesla, they might drop the price in the future.

    People waiting at SuperCharger didn't take an open spot

    That place is horrible, I came there once, and the line was like 10 cars deep. Makes me happy to live in a location where there’s plenty of superchargers around. After seeing the line, I just said screw it, and drove back home w/ like 20% left.
