    Charge for Warranty Claim?!

    My P100D is nearing the end of its four-year warranty, so I compiled a list of ongoing issues and booked a service appointment. I duly received a text acknowledging the booking and stating that there would be a charge of £72.50 + VAT (that's approx. US $109) to "diagnose" each "noise". Anyone...

    New Model 3 died in midtown Manhattan during rush hour

    Two days ago, my new Model 3 died in the middle of a busy street in midtown Manhattan during rush hour, tying up traffic for 45 minutes. I took delivery of my Model 3 one month ago (6/19). After two weeks and 300 miles, got the "replace 12v battery soon" message. Tesla replaced the battery...

    In Praise of Proactive Service

    About a week ago, I got an email from my local (Bellevue Wa) service center saying that they needed to relocate a wiring harness and I should make an appointment. I did, but on the day of the service, they called and asked why the appointment had been canceled. I told them I had no idea it had...

    Shoutout to Watertown SC.

    We're scheduled to leave for our annual Christmas trip early Saturday morning...so, of course.... this past Sunday, my frunk latch failed. Not great, but recoverable. I attempted to schedule an appointment for it, but they are slammed through late January, and no slots were available. Degree of...

    Locked out of the car. Just about to give up on Tesla.

    I've been an owner since 2013, originally a Model S 85, now a Model X P90D. Problems that arose with the S were dealt with well, overall. Last year the X died while plugged into 240V, just shut down and would not wake up again. It had to be taken on a flatbed to a service centre that takes...

    Model 3 first impressions and small issues: 3 weeks in

    Well it’s been 3 weeks since getting the car and in case anyone wanted to hear what it’s like owning a Model 3 from another first-time Tesla owner, here we go: • First, I love pretty much everything about this car. It’s surreal when you get it, it almost felt like it still wasn’t mine, like...
