Noticed last night that my heater was continuously running and internal temperature was 109. I tried to turn it off via the app and nothing changed. Went into car and saw I had the "Center display unavailable" message and turned the AC/heat controls off.. Nothing changed. I did both types of...

Sold! Ready for delivery of my new one this Friday!

2013 Tesla Model S 60 kWh battery. Dolphin Grey, Panoramic Roof, 19" wheels, Grey Leather, Tech Package (power lift, navigation, ambient lighting, etc.), Ultra High Fidelity Sound, Smart Air Suspension, Free Supercharging, Opti-Coat, 54k miles. The car is in great condition and was over $80k...

This was perfect timing for this thread as I'm also in need of some new tires (33k on the OEM Goodyears). I live in the Phoenix area and have a standard S (non-P) with 19s. I was leaning towards the Continental Extremecontact DWS 06 and was just waiting for Continental to offer a rebate...

Does anyone know who within the state legislature was specifically for and against this bill? With the upcoming election this is one topic that will help me decide where my vote is going.

Another "use tax" question. I registered my S in June and was hit with Scottsdale's 1.45% "use tax" in November. I'm in the process of doing my taxes with TurboTax and am planning on deducting the state and county sales tax (6.6% total) that I paid when I registered the vehicle. My question...

1. Does the company charge you? How much? My company charges $0.50 per hour of charging, regardless of how much electricity is flowing. There is no charge if plugged in but not charging. My understanding is that this time-based method of charging is based on AZ state regulations. I actually...

I bought one of the Heatshields from Amazon and am regretting the purchase. As others have mentioned, it rolls up rather than folds, but the direction it rolls up is awkward and it's so large that you can't flip it over to roll it up tight. Plus, once it heats up it sags pretty severely...

Scottsdale Use Tax The Scottsdale Use Tax thing is a bummer and something I was afraid of (attached post was from 2/8, page 17). At least now we know for sure...

I bought the Original Single Use. The single use bottle is enough for a pair of shoes so it's way more than enough to cover both points with multiple coats. I think the key is to put a very light coat on and repeat several times. I did three heavy coats and, as you can see, it started to run...

After only a couple of weeks I was also starting to notice wear on the black part. I have a tight fit in my garage so I have to get in and out without fully opening my door, which means an entry/exit profile wouldn't help. I put a few layers of Skuff over it and that seems to have worked...

I didn't need an inspection. The lady at the Tempe office had just registered another one the day before I did mine so she was pretty on top of things. Not including the initial wait time, I was out of there within 15 minutes with my alt fuel plate. Make sure you double check the paperwork as...

I can confirm this. I got my car registered today at the Tempe MVD location on Larkspur and the first thing the lady behind the counter said to me was "too bad you didn't purchase this after June 1. You would have saved 1% on the sales tax." I suppose I could have held off for another couple...

I have the Formula ONE Pinnacle on both my S and Tacoma. I'm very happy with it. I had the side and rear windows done. I had considered also doing the pano roof and windshield but figured I'd wait to see if I really needed it. I live in AZ and park the car in pretty much full sun while...

Sorry, should have included the cost in the first place. The prep work was $135 which included inside and outside detail. Since my paint was in good condition (they pointed out a few swirls and smudges) it wasn't too much work. Since the Opti-Coat is 'permanent' the paint really needs to be...
