    Should I upgrade to Plaid or keep my 2014 P85D w MCU2 and Ludicrous upgrade

    Is there any reason you dont want to sell as a private seller? I know of at least two people looking for MSPD's with FUSC. Im fairly certain theyd get you about 50% more than what Tesla offered.

    Changing fluid in the Gear box , part or Model S drive train.

    Well it took the Clermont FL service center almost FOUR HOURS to change mine. They initially told me it would take less than TWO! I decided to wait, and even told them id be waiting. Never once did they bother to come let me know it was taking longer than expected or give an explanation. On top...

    Vendor 🚨 The easiest way to protect your Tesla just got easier 🚨

    I tried to get a quote and no dice. Florida not one of the states you are in? Or is my 2015 Model S to old? Or perhaps to high of mileage at 190,000?

    Supercharger network is critical infrastructure

    Actually I do live in a rural area which is why I have a wall connector. I don't need the government to take care of me or hold my hand. If your local supercharger goes down and that leaves you stranded, maybe an EV is not the right car for you...

    Supercharger network is critical infrastructure

    its NOT a public utility, its a service offered by a PRIVATE entity. If you dont like it use another service like Charge Point. Charge point has about 55,000 charging stations compared to Tesla's approximately 2,200. I don't see you advocating this same treatment for any of the other charger...

    Finally! Dynamic Power Management for wall connector

    SC gas lighting - look at this

    You could have this with any car maker. I had a brand new 2006 Mustang GT. It developed a rattle, dealer swore they couldnt hear it. I finally found it when I put Eibach adjustable struts on the car. The front swaybar end link was loose and had wallowed out the hole it is bolted to on the strut...

    Supercharger network is critical infrastructure

    So you want the government to by force take over private property? Socialist much? Congress appropriated 7.5 BILLION for EV charging infrastructure and has yet to build a single charger. Suggested reading https://a.co/d/aNa8pGX "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm...

    Finally! Dynamic Power Management for wall connector

    I wonder if this could also be used so that my car only charges from my solar? I have a enphase system and I would love for the car to charge instead of sending power back to the grid. To do it myself I have to babysit the car and turn the amps up and down through the app. Connect it to the...

    Oil change in drive unit tesla model S

    After pricing up what it would cost me to do it using the Pentosin ATF 64 and 2 filters, approximately 120 dollars. The Tesla service center will do it for 230 and can get me in next friday. Im just gonna let them do it. About the only thing I havent done maintenance wise since I got the car...

    Changing fluid in the Gear box , part or Model S drive train.

    Anyone ever heard of a Company called Pentosin? They have a product called ATF 64. Anyone had any experience with it? The company even released a statement touting it as compatible for Tesla. https://crpautomotive.com/wp-conten...tive-Pentosin-Tesla-EV-Fluids-Award-PR_V2.pdf

    Oil change in drive unit tesla model S

    I want to change the gear oil on both the front and rear drive units on S. Ive been doing some searching around, seems alot of people say Dexron VI is compatible. I was trying to find something better in either Amsoil or Redline product line. I came across a fluid from Pentosin called ATF 64...

    Tesla service & maintenance: the biggest difference with legacy car makers?

    My experience hasn't been that great either. I paid out of pocket to get the MCU2 with FM radio upgrade and had to take it back twice because they "forgot" to install the FM radio and then "forgot" to make sure the mic worked for making phone calls. Both times they wanted me to leave it...

    They dont do "walk ins". When I was there for service several month ago I needed some parts and the service guy kept going back and forth trying to get answers.

    Need parts, ignored by service center.

    So Ive been trying to get the few fasteners and trim pieces I need to install the 3rd row seats in my Model S for about 3 weeks now. The Jacksonville Tesla Service center has yet to call me or email me back. Does anyone have a contact for parts? Id be happy to pay shipping. I need SWITCH FOR...

    Tesla recalls 2 million vehicles to limit use of Autopilot

    What I think you mean is "No business should ever take conservative or even perceived right leaning political stance." Pretty much every single business that is owned by any of the big investment companies is forced to take a left leaning political stance whether they want to or not.

    Tesla recalls 2 million vehicles to limit use of Autopilot

    Or have less negligent parents! Is it an automakers fault when negligent parents leave their babies in the car and forget about them? Should the government mandate all cars have a detection feature? Like I said in the beginning, protecting stupid people, and their offspring. And at the same time...

    Tesla recalls 2 million vehicles to limit use of Autopilot

    Now adjust that to how many Teslas are on the road, and adjust it again for how many miles all those teslas have driven while on L2 ADAS. You can manipulate data to make it seem like anything is a death trap.

    Tesla recalls 2 million vehicles to limit use of Autopilot

    Tesla recalls 2 million vehicles to limit use of Autopilot

    So we can expect to have to interact MORE with the car just so it stays in auto pilot? I think its over intrusive currently! The amount of input I have to put into the steering, just so it stay in auto pilot, on a smooth straight road is to much in my opinion. We already lost the ability to...

    Variable schedule/pre-conditioning

    I feel your pain. I not only have a varying schedule I also have varying times in the morning I need it to pre-condition (I work 48/72 shift). I have noticed when Im at work or home it seems to recognize that and already has the correct time ready (6:00am vs 7:30am). So I just turn it on before...

    Ill look and see if I can get that book. I dont read books as much as I used to. Most books now have an agenda and you know it before even reading the first chapter. If the book doesn't have easy to look up non partisan reputable references, I pass.

    Israel/Hamas conflict

    so if the MAJORITY as you claim don't support HAMAS why don't they use their superior numbers to fight back or join Israel in fighting against HAMAS? If what you were saying is true, there would be ALOT more people speaking out against HAMAS in Palestine, but they are not. They are actually...

    Israel/Hamas conflict

    I lived in Riyadh Saudi Arabia for 2 years. The "West" really needs to understand that the rest of the world does not operate the way we do. If the Saudi Royal family does not rule with a somewhat iron fist, terrorist will attack and try to overthrow them. (Edit: now that I think about it, there...

    And by the way let me know when the IDF starts taking Palestinian babies, burning them in ovens while raping their mothers and beheading their fathers, and then we can talk about "moral equivalence".

    Israel/Hamas conflict

    I gotta disagree with that assertion. You're seeing the UN and multiple countries call for a ceasefire. A ceasefire would only allow HAMAS to regroup and resupply. And Palestine keeps trying to play both sides. Either HAMAS is a terrorist group holding Palestien hostage (haha), or PLA and HAMAS...

    FSD Transfer Offer - COMPLAINT wrt totaled car

    The point I’m trying to make though is that once Tesla finds out that car was totaled, they will disable both. It could be for hail damage, but that car will no longer have either FSD or FUSC and may not be able to supercharge at all. So that extra money the insurance is paying you for those...

    FSD Transfer Offer - COMPLAINT wrt totaled car

    No it’s not, this is why both are disabled by Tesla when they are traded in before they send it to auction. And why they can transfer FSD to a new car and disable it on the older car. If it was tied to the vin, that wouldn’t be possible. The reason the insurance company took them into...
