I had a 2015 Model S I bought in June of 2015. I tried everything I could think of to get Tesla to check the battery before its warranty expired. Tesla refused to do anything at all. The only thing I came up with was using ScanMyTesla to check it myself, which didn't do me any good. I did...

From your signature I see you have an older battery. I had a 2015 Model S and I traded it because it felt like an anvil was hanging over my head, at $21k for a new battery. Are you going to drive it 'till it dies? Have you connected with ScanMyTesla to see how many cycles you've used? I was...

You are right. I just like having the extra range if I need to use it. But I'm thinking 85 is really too high for daily max and I may go down to 70% and see if I'm comfortable with the miles I have at the end of the day there. I drive about 80 miles total each day for my work commute. I'd...

I bought a Model 3 SR a month ago. I had read Musk's quote that you could charge the LFP battery to 100% daily because "it wants to be charged to 100%", so that's what I had been doing. Then I found out today from Recurrent that NO, in fact LFP batteries are NOT special - and charging them to...

Got trial FSD today and used it for my work commute. It was great. But not "finished" by any means. I took over at busy intersections and one transfer between highways. It wanted to go around a traffic jam but it would never have been able to get back in the exit lane - how are they going to...

I took delivery of my 2024 Model 3 on March 17. A couple weeks before Elon dumped free FSD on every car "capable of FSD" I purchased a subscription for it to try it out. I didn't get it. My car shows exactly what yours does! "Will be available in future software update". So, be glad you at...

So, I ordered on Feb 11, just took delivery March 17. Not bad at all! Got the red color, no other options. Wanted to let everyone know - when I got home just now I had an email from Tesla confirming FREE SUPERCHARGING was transferred from my old S to my new 3! I'm extremely happy and...

Friend of mine has a Lyriq. He had a Model S for 10 yrs and a Model 3. He loves his Lyriq! Enjoy it!

My delivery is scheduled for March 10. But last I heard from Tesla they weren't sure they would make it because the car comes to Dallas from Freemont, and then ships to Houston... Anyone with experience in Houston? How long does it take to get to Houston after your VIN is assigned? I think...

Well I ordered February 11, and today February 24 I got my VIN. Now the app says est delivery is Mar 8 - 15. Sure hope its 8th as I leave town on the 11th. I have to take delivery in March or lose xferred free supercharging from my S, which would suck. Stress sucks, but it'll be worth it in...

If you don't take delivery by end of March is your FSD transfer affected? According to what I've read my free supercharging transfer is contingent on taking delivery by end of March. Seems unfair if they don't make the car for me, to deny me the incentive they promised.

Have you asked them using the app if warranty will still apply to this problem if seen after the warranty period expires? It certainly should, since it was documented by the car itself during the warranty period. You might also consult an attorney in your state as to state laws on the matter...

My driver's door handle failed again - presents but won't open door no matter how hard you pull. We have a place called CPR Tesla here in Houston. I took it there and he "recalibrated" it for $120.00. Its working again, but for how long???

Do you replace drive units?

I might bring it to you when its got 149k miles just to get that extra 2 yrs warranty! That's a great benefit (if I read it right).
