    Has anyone found leather protection and reapir colour for the black next gen seats 2017. They don't look 100% black more and I'm not sure if standard black protection will make it look completely different.

    Chargegate, S85 Only

    Ok ive added some tag to to the link you have provided, I'm hoping these are public as searching batterygate or Chargegate did not return the link. I think it would be helpful to get a list of S85s having this issue. ONLY if the battery has been checked to be at the correct temp.

    Chargegate, S85 Only

    I've just been on the Tesla facebook group and seen there are in total three S85 owners who are concerned about charge speeds at superchargers. (same day) If you have confirmed with the support line that your battery is the correct temp when charging and You are still getting slow charge...

    Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

    Thats great news! My experience with Tesla is strange. They offer to do things but always look for a way out. The rear door handles are making a funny sound. I reported to them. They are claiming it may be the tints. Ive explained to them that I raised this before I applied the tints, they now...

    Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

    Anyone have these etched in scratches on the front and back windows, in line with the centre of the door handle on both sides? I've raised this before in the hope that people might share pics, people often say its grit but its in the same place on both front windows and across multiple cars.

    Burying our head in the sand?

    I have now seen over 7-8 cars ~2016 Model s with similar issues. Tesla seems to be happy to replace the windows in some scenarios but not others It will be helpful if anyone else has straight vertical etched in scratches in the side windows then please post them here The scratches are worst...

    Burying our head in the sand?

    This didn't work, however, I did notice that the when the window is wet you can tell there is something wrong with the seals in the areas where there are scratches if you put the window up and down.

    Burying our head in the sand?

    Hi everyone respectfully can I ask everyone to stay on topic. @cezdoc thanks for the images I'm not sure if it will make you feel better or worse, but I have to use the driver window to access my work carpark and over the last six months the lines on that window have become significantly...

    Model S Questions (Urgent as I was going to buy tomorrow)

    If you go to the autopilot menu, you should see an option for summon and auto-steer, this means it has auto pilot software The easiest way to look for AP1 and AP2 is to look at the front small side signal lights if it has a camera then its AP2 (good) Check for rattles on the dash and wind...

    Burying our head in the sand?

    Is it on all fours windows? And does the scratches on the front windows appear most severe in line with the centre of the handle?

    Burying our head in the sand?

    Respectfully I have to disagree it can't be wear and tear, there's no way the following is by chance... 1 - All four windows impacted 2 - Rear both side windows are impacted in similar areas on both sides (Roughly 30cm from the front of the window) 3 - Front both side windows are impacted in...

    Burying our head in the sand?

    I suppose the point I'm trying to make is there is surely a design fault if 9/10 cars have this issue (2016 model) It will cost me a fortune to get all four windows and seals replaced. (This is common throughout 2016~ cars)

    Burying our head in the sand?

    Hey I was trying to be a little creative in the title, not very good I know. sorry I own a 2016 Model S, I've raised issues with all my windows having many (15-20) etched in vertical lines. This really annoys me! The first time I raised this as part of another thread (i hijacked) everyone...

    Vertical Scratches On Model S Window

    I disagree, I've never owned a car where the windows scratch like this. (all four windows are scratched) I wind my front window down regularly to get into my work car park and the driver's side is getting worse. I did exactly the same thing with a BMW for 6 years and I did not have this issue.

    Vertical Scratches On Model S Window

    I would like anyone who has a model S to have a close look at there door windows for thin vertical lines. These lines are difficult to see unless you are looking for them and are caused by anything getting stuck in the seal at the bottom of the window. Every Model S I have ever driven has had...

    How to verify free Supercharging?

    If you phone the tesla dealership the car was originally bought from with the last 6 digits of the vin, they are usually very helpful. Speak to the services department. They should verify the warranty as well. (There are some cars which may have had the warranty suspended) Questions to ask the...

    Home charging options

    OVO energy is doing good deals at the moment and providing a free home smart charger. I'm locked into a tariff so I had to buy mine which was very little after the government grant. There is a lot of work that goes into installing these. You can pay OVO £5 more to ensure you only use renewable...

    High voltage battery replacement

    Hi hope you don't mind me asking in this of thread, seems to be the right topic... I've supposedly had my 85 HV battery replaced with a new battery, however, I can't see any difference... This is what the job card looks like, does this mean they simply took the battery out and checked it and...

    All 2019 Updates delayed by Tesla intentionally?

    I collected my car after an HV battery change. The car was not charging to 100% so I highlighted this to an engineer. He said I should allow the car to update via wifi when I got home. I've since spent hours on the phone as the phone support agents didn't know about any intentional delays. After...

    All 2019 Updates delayed by Tesla intentionally?

    My dealership has explained to me today that the rollout of any 2019 software updates has been intentionally delayed as all 2019 updates are buggy. So my car has downloaded the update but is not providing the option to install (they say its in a staging status) Has anyone heard anything similar?

    Ok here I go again ... So my s85 battery has been swapped out but nothing has changed. The service centre is now saying the car needs a firmware upgrade as its on the last update in 2018. The car is always on wifi and the SC say the update has been downloaded but the car is not giving any...

    Looking at the used market for a Tesla Model S

    Hey Vitesse, Make sure you fully check for AP and everything else the dealer claims the car has. I had two big dealers who claims the car had things it did not. The truth is they don't know themselves. One dealer was adamant the car had "enhanced" autopilot when it did not. If you get the last...

    Extending insurance - additional 4 years

    I am the second owner of a Tesla, my car warranty runs out next year. To extend with a Tesla approved garage it's expensive (see above) However, the key thing to look out for is that there is a 50k mile limit even on the extended warranty and you must take out at least 4 years. Hence the...

    Extending insurance - additional 4 years

    Hey all I have 2016 s85 due to come out of warranty in March 2020, I have found a fairly comprehensive warranty for £500 per year. Buying the car was a stretch so forking out another 3.5k is not happening. (Dealer repairs) There is a guy called Matt who knows a little about Tesla's so...

    Door window glass scratches

    Ive owned many BMWs never had this, couple of things to note is that some of the above have had the work done on warranty and Im in the UK so we never have dust storms. I suppose my question is why would they have one rule at one dealership and a different rule at another. (I can apreciate my...

    Door window glass scratches

    Ive had exactly this issue, the dealership is wanting me to pay for the repair despite having over a years warranty left. Surely they should fix this as no other mid range or higher car does this?
