The tesla.com fora have been down for two days. Taking bets on whether they will ever come back, and if so, if Tesla finally brought them into the 2000s of forum design.

It's been up and down, when it's been up they have added several features. Reply button, like button, search box, people were testing posting emojis and that worked but the links weren't working. It might be up to early 2000's level now.

Several people were back online yesterday. I was off getting construction screen for about 36 hours, but was able to get in this afternoon.

Yep, just got back in myself. It's one step forward and at least two steps back, unfortunately.

If you are talking about the Official Tesla forum, I have never successfully logged on. Just keep going in a loop. Yes’ I’m sure it’s me.

I haven't been back there in something like 5 years, but speaking from that outdated experience, you're not missing much.

Only two steps back?

I was on the forums on Tesla's own web site years ago, around the time I got my Roadster, so 2011 or 2012. I found it hard to read and awkward to navigate. I got better information more easily here on TMC. I have not logged into the Tesla forums in years.

Agreed. Plus too many cat fight and rudeness to first time posters who don't phrase their questions to the liking of certain individuals. But I haven't been there in three or four years either, but things might have changed. I don't care. This forum does the job.

It\'s down again for me. And now trying to find new posts that you have not read is an exercise in frustration.

New posts are shown after you've read a thread now. It won't tally unless you've clicked on it.

Thanks--if I could log in again I would maybe see it in action (...site undergoing maintenance again....).

Appears to be working for me!

They are doing a complete overhaul that's been in the works for about 10 months. Personally, I think they are trying to get a lot of the TMC content and purpose back under their control. But the official company line is so that they can improve the user connectivity/experiance.

Yep, it's better than it was but now less readable. The new design certainly has not foiled the trolls there, though.

You yourself can improve your view of how to read the Tesla forum. Instead of Firefox, try Chrome, but add Teslatap's updated Chrome Extension. Open Chrome and paste this link in, then add it.

TeslaTap Assistant Pro

I don't trust it. I'm worried about it forcing Koolaid into me.

Ohhhhh Barry, take a chance - be a little adventurous. I don't think it will turn you into a Stepford Wife..

That would be the optimistic outcome.
