    Screen leaking fluid bubbling

    Model S 90D Monroney vs Tesla Range degradation

    Tesla Quotes the range of the Model S 90d at 294 miles when new. However the Monroney sticker only states 270 miles. I recently learned that warranty of 30% degradation is based on the 270-30%. So the range would have to drop to 189 for any sort of battery warranty to kick in. Pretty...

    Plaid 0 to 60 and quarter mile 1.99

    There were many independent posts on people saying 1.99 0 to 60 would be really hard to do without rollout. Does anyone know if someone has taken a Plaid MS to the track and confirmed with a draggie or similar test?

    MMC priority list

    My 2016 Model S screen has gone black a few times about a year ago. This no longer happens maybe because of a software update. I called Tesla and asked them when I could get the MMC replaced. They basically said they dont have enough units and that they could not tell me when or if I was...

    Can I upgrade my Ap1 car to Full Self Driving ( FSD )?

    Has there been any chatter regarding the ability to upgrade Ap1 cars to FSD. My understanding is that Tesla will replace hardware on Ap2/2.5 to make them able to be FSD. I am guessing the biggest challenge with Ap1 cars is running cameras into the B pillars.
