I put clear, cheap, dielectric silicone grease in all door latches to help with these kind of problems. I've noticed the S front door handles take a bit more force than the ones on my Audi or Prius did, and a little grease helped a ton.A little over a week with my 2022 SLR.
Both front doors do not close "easy" and often do not fully close. Need to add a little force to fully close them, makes sense as I have read door misalignment is common. Annoying, thats all.
Service coming next week to address issue.
Sounds like a wiring issue.Hoping someone can help with this. I started having some random issues with the right door handles this week where they present themselves randomly while the car in in park.
Today I sat in the car (drivers seat) with YouTube running and saw that the right door handles (both passenger and rear) kept going in and out randomly. They were in sync initially but then they started to alternate.
Super strange behavior. Anyone have this issue?
I can anyone is interested or sees a same issueSounds like a wiring issue.
I have a 2016 (refresh) S90D with over 150,000 miles on the odometer. Despite two incidents which may have caused some battery cooling problems and about 70% of charging done on superchargers, I am only down about 7% from my original numbers. By 2017 I think they had solved the door handle problem (I had one replaced under warranty). The eyebrow light (DRL) remains a sore spot but otherwise I have had no issues. Had them check suspension and bushings, etc and all looked good. Still have about 75% of the original brake pads remaining. The back cargo area is cavernous with the seats down and the S has doubled as a pick-em-up truck. I'd like to think if you've found a one owner CA car it's probably a gem.what is the latest consensus on a Model S (2017) approaching 100,000 miles. I want to buy a used one, but am I going towards the edge of a cliff in terms of maintenance, warranty, wear tear issues?
This is a grail purchase for me, and I was initially attracted because of the supposed higher reliability of an EV. The stick with that is I've seen reports of early model S (2013 era, close to 200k odometer) are now approaching the age/mileage where the battery becomes imbalanced and requires a hefty repair, not unlike replacing the engine on a gas car.
Is there a mileage limit just like gas cars? In that case, I won't be paying $50k for a car that only has half its life left.
Really appreciate the advice. I'm sorry I didn't read through the whole thread.
Why not buy a new Model 3 for that kind of money?In that case, I won't be paying $50k for a car that only has half its life left.
Thank you for the data point. The battery degradation is expected and not an issue. I was more concerned with battery faults like this or this. That issue is the equivalent to an ICE car needing an engine replacement. It seems like this is a real barrier to an EV lasting longer than an ICE car.I have a 2016 (refresh) S90D with over 150,000 miles on the odometer.

This Model S (100D 2017 90k miles) has FSD. A Model 3 with FSD would be more money still.Why not buy a new Model 3 for that kind of money?
And Model S would allow us to take camping trips more easily.This Model S (100D 2017 90k miles) has FSD. A Model 3 with FSD would be more money still.
And by that I assume you mean: pack all your gear. The alternative is to sleep in the back. I'm sure more people than just me have done that!And Model S would allow us to take camping trips more easily.
Older hardware that may not support true FSD, when/if the software might actually be ready.This Model S (100D 2017 90k miles) has FSD. A Model 3 with FSD would be more money still.
Already had the computer upgrades. Are the cameras different from the cars today?Older hardware that may not support true FSD, when/if the software might actually be ready.
That I don't know. Does it have the internal camera?Already had the computer upgrades. Are the cameras different from the cars today?
I hear loads of reports of 10.11.2 being able to drive totally without intervention, but my 2018 Model S, with all the hardware upgrades currently available, and no driver-facing camera, really struggles with a lot of common scenarios. I could never let it just drive totally by itself because it would inevitable panic and hand control back.That I don't know. Does it have the internal camera?
That is freaky!I can anyone is interested or sees a same issue
I occasionally experience this as well on my 2018 MS. Usually on hot days when I am cruising on the freeway. I assumed it was the cooling demand on the battery that was prioritized over the cabin.On an extended drive in warm weather, my 2018 Model S had several instances when the AC cooling stopped for a minute. Vent kept blowing but it started getting warm. One time might have been in stop and go with a construction delay. Another might have been with low charge below 20%. Another with no reason.
It might also be that it’s not blowing very cold as I kept turning down the temp to cooler than my normal preference.
Need coolant recharge?
My MSLR also came with summer tires in December in Michigan. Tesla changed them to all season upon request.Ahhh, and they put on summer tires (f 265/r 295) for this sucker sold in Chicagoland in the late fall. Thanks Tesla!
