    Supercharger- Greenville, NC

    I'm just used to coming from a 2015 which capped out at 130 on a good day

    Supercharger - New Bern, NC

    Topping off here before I head down to the crystal coast for a few days. Everything seems functional, great BBQ next door. If only there was one closer to Emerald Isle.

    Supercharger- Greenville, NC

    Good charger. I didn't even know a 2018 MS could charge this fast.

    Charging

    First and foremost: just because you can turn a screwdriver doesn't mean you can do electrical work. You can't just go randomly 'upgrading' outlets, that's how house fires happen. If you absolutely must use this in it's current state for charging, even though you really shouldn't, limit the car...

    Can we have a separate Plaid/refresh section?

    I'm in the opposite situation, looking at posts wondering if they're at all relevant to my outdated cars. I would love to see the refresh S folks get their own corner of this forum.

    Block GPS?

    There's not really any internal component you can access without a lot of difficulty on these cars. The GPS antenna is behind the rear glass, so no getting to that without removing the window. The connector is behind the MCU which requires dismantling the entire dashboard. It's not something you...

    Why is Tesla service department (SD) customer service so bad?

    You and I seem to have completely different experiences with the Owings Mills folks. I find that if I want a response I have to message first thing in the morning or shortly before they close. If I message middle of the day, someone might respond eventually, and if I message after hours, it gets...

    Trade-In Valuation in Progress

    Tesla just offered me just over $29k for my 2015 P85D with 104k miles. It has a 90kWh battery, not sure if that made a difference at all. The turn around on the valuation was less than 24 hours. Carvna offered me $20k. I laughed and took the offer from Tesla.

    Service in Balitmore Area, Owings Mills?

    Yeah, they offered me $100/day in uber credits, but Uber doesn't get me to work, so I had to rent a car.

    Service in Balitmore Area, Owings Mills?

    Pretty much zero chance of getting a loaner. It's hard to even talk to someone there. I'm renting a car currently while waiting for parts to come in.

    Vehicle stops while driving... PRND turns red

    Welp, I just got home from my trip out of town. On the way back the car went into limp mode. I'm still waiting for parts, so I hope Tesla can get me a loaner, otherwise I won't have a car to get me to work Tuesday.

    Yup, the drive units are covered under the 8 year unlimited milage warranty.
