November,2023: My 2014 Model S is acting up: When I got in the car few days ago, it was mostly non-responsive and the center screen was dark. The first time it happened, a few months ago, I called "Tesla Central" and was advised to reboot by holding the two steering wheel buttons down -- for a...

I just got a post-service survey on my iPhone, but there appears to be no way to cause my feedback to be sent to Tesla: I am offered an "X" and a [back-arrrow] clicking on either seems to take me back to the start of an empty survey?????? If Tesla gets no completed surveys, it would seem...

Being unable to access service history is awful. At my last visit, evidently two invoices were issued, and I could only see one, for part of the total, and even that disappeared once I had looked at it. So I have a $2,400 cr crd charge with no explanation!!! Totally unacceptable. Can we get...

My son's charging cord car end cracked. Is it possible to buy another? Source?

I had our "S" repaired at Blakes, a Tesla and State Farm certified center, in Rohnert Park, south of Santa Rosa. Outstanding treatment and work. They have been bought by Crash Champions, but the staff is reportedly the same. I encourage you to chat with them. Details upon request...

Same thing for me: Message ("Center Screen Unavailable") but despite message, center screen is working just fine.????? What does Tesla say about this?

I'm going from Boise to Sun Valley in my Model 85S. I'd like to use the scenic route via Stanley. Has anybody made that run. Miles left upon reaching destination?

I'm considering taking my Model 85 S from Boise to Sun Valley via Rts 21 & 75. I'm concerned about range. Has anybody made this leg? There does not appear to be anyplace enroute to get even a little boost. EVTripPlanner says the "rated miles" is less than the ordinary miles, yet Sun Valley...

For straightforward service needs, the Tesla App has been adequate, and when mobile service has been utilized, it has been excellent. On the other hand, for service issues warranting interaction and discussion with a Service Advisor, it has mostly been AWFUL! While calling the numbers I have...

Ver. 2021.32.22 10/26/21 Similar bug; very annoying in light mist. If "mode 1" enabled, wipers run intermittently even if windshield dry! Then I have to switch to "off." When mist accumulates, must turn "on"! (On a "normal" car, I could just flick the stalk; on a Tesla this method is not...

About 3 weeks ago our Model 3 wipers came on one am without any moisture on the windshield. To avoid damage to the windshield while trying to understand the cause, I turned the wipers fully off. Now, in light moisture, in mode 1, they run after wiping the windshield dry -- a real pain in...

Mystery solved. Yes, there is now, at least on some "3's," a built-in data-stick. There are 2 USB-C ports inside the foward console, and 2 USB-A(?) ports (perhaps power-only) behind the console, for rear seat passengers. From: Tesla starts delivering cars with TeslaCam/Sentry Mode storage...

A friend bought a new Model 3, on 12/30/2020, and I'm puzzled as to where the USB ports are located. The Dashcam icon shows a red dot, but we have not, ourselves, put in a datastick. An aftermarket firm's photos seems to show 2 USB-A sockets and a 12V receptacle, for cars built after June...

Yes, it's a lot of money, but we don't regret paying for in, for our 2017 "3," or even its less-performing version in our 2014 "S." If price is a serious factor, then a Tesla without FSD is still wonderful, but with FSD, fabulous!

A "Next Door" neighbor reported that she had a puncture in her new "Y" and that a local tire shop couldn't repair it (through the inside) because of "foam," possibly introduced for noise suppression or to add run-flat capability. Does anyone know what models/configurations have this "foam?"...
