    All things equal, is air suspension more reliable on 19s vs. 21s?

    Just thinking that with more rubber there's more absorption from the tire, which makes me think 19s would be less punishing on suspension parts.

    P85DL+ question about regen modes and long term battery health

    You know how they say all things equal it is worst for the battery to be supercharged vs home charged because (I think it’s that the SC heats up the battery a lot, which is bad for it)? So my question is, is using light regent vs. standard regen better for the pack because it doesn’t maybe heat...

    Am I being an idiot trying to hold onto my p85dL outside of warranty?

    83k miles, Dec. 2014 build, perf plus suspension, seemingly strong battery pack (I got 148kW at the super charging station last week). My situation is somewhat unique. I love my current p85d but the warranty expired last week. It’s been a pretty darn reliable car since I bot used 4 years ago...

    Am I being an idiot by not taking delivery before year end?

    My situation is somewhat unique. I love my current p85d but the warranty expired last week. It’s been a pretty darn reliable car since I bot used 4 years ago and the battery seems strong. I put a deposit on a brand new 2023 demo performance model 3 that I could have picked up yesterday...

    Deposit on demo car made, but Tesla won’t let me drive it before buying, is that normal?

    It sounds crazy to me, why can’t I drive the car I’m about to buy, especially since it’s not brand new and has 900 miles on it? The salesman told me it went through Tesla’s thorough checkpoint inspection, however, two wheels have curb rash, that according to them, must have been missed during...

    Anyone gone from a p85d with plus suspension to a P3? Would like you to hear thoughts

    So I’m looking to sell my p85dL with performance plus suspension and get into a new model 3 performance that I have reserved for $55k My impressions driving the model 3P were surprising to me. I was expecting a harsher and noisier ride vs the S, but that didn’t seem to be the case at all? Also...

    Bought new Model 3 performance, giving up my p85DL!

    I got $10k off msrp because of the rebate and because it was a demo car. $53,910 without destination fee. I’m excited for faster charging, better handling, new warranty and better performance at low to mid SOC. What I’ll miss is the look of the S. The 3 looks like a toy in comparison...

    2019 P3 vs 2022 P3

    I own a p85dl and recently test drove a brand new model three performance. I was really impressed by the model 3, handling, acceleration, and overall ride quality-it felt like a vault. Do you know if there is a difference between the first performance model 3s and the brand new ones in terms...

    100d loaner is so much faster at lower SOC vs my p85dL - why is that?

    Compared each car a 40%, 30% and 20%. is the technology just so much better in the newer models?

    My model S warranty expires in two months and I’m looking for an exhaustive list of things to inspect and possibly fix before it expires

    In the past with Benz and BMW’s I had to complain and describe specifics, such as “customer states squeaky noise coming from from left part or car (would mean that they need to check out suspension or cv boot)”. — I am looking for an exhaustive list of all items that can go wrong with an 8...

    Best Bay Area Indy shop for pre purchase inspection?

    Tesla ext. service agreement NIGHTMARE. Hey say driver electronic seat function is a wear & tear

    My driver side seat recline function is broken. Most of the time it doesn’t move or moves in very small increments, like ¼ inch. They’re saying to fix the issue will cost $3200 + $75 for labor. I read the fine print in the ESA, there’s no mention of this being on the exclusion list. They...

    2014 P85DL 45% SOC, cold battery, 60 degree outdoor weather: 305kW???

    This seems very low to me, even at 45% soc... car was sitting for 5 hours outside not charging before the run. What could be the problem? Does seem like ludicrous power. 56k miles. Using powertools

    425kW @90% p85dl max battery on. with 52k miles - is that normal?

    December 2014 build. I used the PowerTools app for the first time today. I think that I should be getting more like 450kW according to various posts on the forum for a P85DL Ludacris max battery on.

    California Tesla service broke my windshield on accident.

    So I went in to pickup my car (had $725 50k service done, $450 in tpms' as well as some warranty work done) and the SA tells me a mechanic dropped a tool on my windshield and damaged it so they replaced it. I asked OK with OEM glass right? They said yes. Now at the time I didn't think much of...

    Is there a way to mount wider than stock 19 inch tires on my P85D?

    I would like to get wider tires for better acceleration traction however I do not want to compromise ride quality and go with a larger 21 inch wheel to do so. So for example wider 19 inch rims so instead of doing 245s all around I could do to 265s all around

    I charged to 87% and got 210 miles on P85DL is that bad?

    New to charging at home and work, 110v and 220v

    So I’ve been charging at work at 119v. I just plugged into my garage at home and now the app is telling me I’m getting 210v!? I think that’s a big surprise to me?! Both are regular three prong wall plugs .... what does this mean for my p85dl? I do have the dual charger option FYI. I feel...

    Acceleration in 100D loaner vs. Ludicrous - disappointed. Any thoughts?

    I drove a 2019 100D loaner for 1200 miles over two weeks. When I got my P85DL back it felt underwhelming in Ludicrous mode (max battery off and 85% SOC) vs. the loaner. Without max battery on it feels no faster than the 100D IMO. Does that sound right to anyone? Yes mine is very fast off...

    Do Michelin Primacy mxm4 "green" tires ride harder/stiffer vs. Pilot Sports?

    I figure that because they're eco-focused and have low rolling resistance, the mxm4 green's give you a harder ride vs. say pilot sport a/s, pilot sport 3s, or pilot super sports. Has anyone tried them back to back? I'd like to soften the ride of p85d with performance plus suspension and I'm...

    TPMS question

    Tesla quoted me $530 for TPMS labor and sensors for my 2014 P85DL ( and I am running 19 inch base wheels). The seller told me the sensors were installed with these wheels however Tesla says that they are not installed or the ones installed are incompatible. Does any of this add up? If so is...

    Does the Tesla app tell an owner things like when next maintenance is due?

    Where would one find these things on the app: Next maintenance due date/miles? Warranty left? Previous maintenance done? I'm buying a car and wondering if I can pull that stuff up on the seller's phone when I pickup the car.
