Having enough battery is key. I recently found that out the hard way. In only two days parked in the hot sun, my battery lost the 9% charge I had left it with. :(

After 2 tail light replacements, the bugs are back (kind of expected). Tesla has now changed their policy. They won't change or clean the lights going forward. I understand there may be a way to vacuum them out. So I will try accessing the lights from inside the trunk and hopefully suck those...

Tail lights replaced for the 2nd time due to bugs getting in. Coming up on 50K miles, so I'll have to find a way to get those little things out the next time they crawl in there. Just had both LED headlights replaced too as a result of the light beginning to fade/burn out.

Definitely. Tesla service also said this is very common. Glad to know the part themselves is covered after the initial warranty expires. That's 2 replacements of the tail lights, and now 1 replacement of the headlights. :confused: Fortunately I recently noticed that both of my lights were...

Our 80-gallon Rheem heat pump water heater was installed over 3 years and the amount of energy consumed is extremely low. One recent month, our entire electric bill was only $50 (wasn't charging the car much at home). We're completely on the city grid, so no alternative power. Cooling the...

EAP was my primary reason for buying the car too. Considering AP used to cost $2500, EAP is currently overpriced at $5K in my opinion considering as a whole it still performs no better than the original AP. The current price tag is based on what it will hopefully do one of these days (supposed...

Same here. The original Goodyear tires on my '17 MS60 wore out in no time - forgot to rotate (partly due to lack of oil changes) and the two in the rear were done after only 12.5K miles. Mostly highway driving too. I switched all 4 to Michelin Primacy MXM4 and rotate religiously every 6K miles...

If weather conditions are a non-factor, a '16 MS75 and '16 MS75D should perform nearly the same. There is slightly more range with the dual motors and perhaps there is better regen capability, however the cars should perform almost identically. Add just a little water to the road and the...

5 of 8 new pedestals have been installed.

FYI: Stall 2A has been non-functional for at least a week. It begins to charge and then stops within 30 seconds. I have experienced this twice and have seen one other vehicle also fail to successfully charge at that stall. One of the workers present today also confirmed they saw an owner have...

You missed my sarcasm. It's much easier to just hold the wheel instead of jamming an orange in there to fool the system. FSD by August? :rolleyes:

As previously mentioned, the nag is consistent every 20 seconds - no matter the speed. This is probably one of the most disappointing updates that I have received in the past year. :( Holding the wheel on the lower left side with constant downward pressure resolves the issue. Nice work Tesla...
