    FS: Model S 19” stock tempest wheels and tires w/ TPMS Houston

    19” Tempest wheels, tires, and TPMS from a 2021 MS refresh. They have 3,500 miles on them and are professionally ceramic coated. No scratches or curb rash. They look brand new. I am on the north side of Houston and will drive a reasonable distance to meet up for a transfer. I will also ship them...

    Did Tesla Screw You too? (Registration)

    This same registration issue happened to a co-worker (also in TX). After some time they did provide a loaner but last I heard the issue had not been resolved. He has a new car in the garage (for many months) he cannot legally drive.

    MYP Ordered today and delivery soon, wait for 4680?

    Wow. I ordered a MYP a few days after you and my EDD is 9/5-10/3. It is a red/white so maybe color has something to do with it.

    Front passenger window randomly goes down

    I have occasionally noticed my passenger and a read window go down about a half inch when I close the drivers door. And I didn’t accidentally hit the switch. In fact, it has happened when closing it from the outside. Might be related to what someone mentioned about the power being connected to...

    Model S Slid Away...

    Yes, It took Tesla 8 weeks to replace my front bumper after flying tire tread knocked out the fog light. What bothered me more than the time it took was their complete lack of communication and refusing to reply to texts or phone calls. I actually had to drive 30 minutes down there to get an...

    Phantom drain recently through the roof!

    I would check the health of your 12v battery. I noticed phantom drain really increased right before my 12v died without warning.

    Car towed, now steering rack needs replacement

    They did use the tow hook to get it on the truck...but I wasn’t there when they dropped it at Tesla. And since the car was dead and was facing forward on the flatbed, they may have gotten creative on getting it off the truck.

    Car towed, now steering rack needs replacement

    I did not try charging it because it was really hot and smelled badly. The tow truck drivers did try to connect it to both a portable jump-starter and to their truck. The car had been driven daily and was only parked overnight when it died. It was not plugged in because I had charged it at work...

    Car towed, now steering rack needs replacement

    The tow truck drivers and myself were on the phone with Tesla support (the tow drivers have a number to call Tesla if they have issues). They did exactly what Tesla told them to do. The back wheels were put on skids and they pulled it up. I asked Tesla if I could just go down to the service...

    Car towed, now steering rack needs replacement

    My M3 has been in the shop for 5 weeks. I had made an appointment to get the front bumper replaced after getting hit by tire debris on the highway which pushed back a fog light and knocked out two parking sensors. Two days before the appointment my 12v battery completely died and the car had to...

    "Acceleration Boost" option, discussion as to which models and how much quicker

    Mine is live too! I am going to wait for some official testing before I plunk down the money. Since car magazines have shown the AWD to do a 3.9 already, I am curious if this update will remove a half second from that. If it does, I will get it.

    Pass Window Goes Down While Parked

    A few times now I have discovered my locked M3 to have the passenger window rolled down about 2 inches. The first time the car was parked in the hot sun and I thought this was perhaps part of the cabin overheat protection. But then it started happening in my garage at home. Anyone else have this...

    Red vs. Blue: Post your best pics and vote

    I was going to order the blue (love it on my friend’s MS) until I went and saw it in person. Ended up with the red. But they are both GREAT looking.

    Slow Supercharging?

    My LR usually charges above 450mph but every time I plug into the super chargers at the Houston North service center it only pulls around 158mph. Yesterday I made sure no one was plugged into the other paired charger and it was still that low. Maybe some stations are just lower amperage?

    TeslaCam - How big of a flash drive is best

    I had a 128gb die after about a week...perhaps due to temperatures. I purchased this 256gb unit that is designed for extream operating conditions. Most thumb drives aren’t designed to operate in temps below freezing or above 113 degrees. Obviously in the summer your car’s cabin temp will exceed...

    LTE Connection Issues

    My car won't wake up via the app. It is plugged in and parked in a parking garage (same spot it always is at work) and the app can't wake it remotely. The parking spot has good LTE coverage. Hopefully it works when I get to the car tomorrow when I fly home!

    Insurance costs?

    My agent just switched me to Travelers and my rate went from $2800/yr with a 500k combined limit and $1500 deductible to $1300/yr with same coverage and only a $1000 deductible. It pays to shop your insurance if you are just getting your new Tesla!

    Glass roof- Ceramic tint or Sun Shade?

    I am trying to decide if I should purchase the roof sun shade that Tesla makes or just have my tint guy ceramic tint it. The tint may look better but I am also afraid of getting the headliner wet since they use a lot of water in the install. Has anyone done the ceramic tint and are you happy...

    Sentry mode first impressions

    I am very happy with Sentry mode. One thing to note is that it drains about the battery at a rate of 1 mi/hr (M3 LR battery). For most people who work a 9-5 schedule, it isn’t a big deal. My car gets parked at the airport for 3-4 days per week and the drain is much more noticeable and requires a...

    Insurance costs?

    When I added my M3 (LR, DM, FSD) I was blown away how expensive it is. My 2016 Yukon XL Denali (a more expensive vehicle) is around $1500/yr with a 500k liability limit and a $1500 collision deductible. My 2016 Lexus ES 350 was $1300, and to add the M3 was $2800! This is with Safeco and I have...
