Ive replaced many brake pads/rotors over the years and know very well the difference between that and the smell of burning wire. Also, SC said the brakes are fine. The Source of the burn is still undiscovered.

Finally, after almost 5 years of owning my model S, I will be selling my car after it comes back from service. Here's why: - The past few times the car went into service, something else broke within a week or so. I tell service and they claim it's unrelated, so here's another $1-2K of charges...

Lol. Funny story.... the bid winner backed out, so I email the seller and bought it for the buy now price.

a white 2016 75D with 25K miles, aftermarket black turbine 19inch wheels from Evannex, tan leather seats and black alcantara headliner, pano sunroof, . Has an integrated Center console - which makes a huge difference in the interior IMO. Previous owner took excellent care of the car. It came...

Yes I looked at CPO and new bmws. The condition was excellent as one would expect, but the Model S is a much better car overall in my opinion. Plus the all electric feature is a huge factor.

Update: I looked at a few cars and couldn’t get myself to pull the trigger on any of them. Model S’s are hard to beat. So.... I got one in excellent condition from a private seller!! Heres how I look at it - if the companies issue was with the product (the car itself) then the fix would be an...

I didn’t make an offer. I’m not sure going with Tesla at this point is a smart move for me. If I lived by a SC, then maybe I would consider it. Plus I’ll wait about a year to see how the company navigates their way around the current obstacles. All other premium car companies figured it out so...

UPDATE: I am happy to report that Tesla agreed to take the car back and give me a full refund. They sent a loaner and took my car. They gave me the option of CPO’ing my car for real and giving it back, with a promise that I’ll love it this time. I’m opting for the refund. The damage: -I...

yes, my car came without the integrated center console. Instead it has 2 large deep gouges in the plastic. Presumably from when they removed the integrated center console,

I checked my email correspondences with the sales gentleman. This is a copy from my email (took out my name and put XXXX): Hi XXXXX, I just received confirmation that the White Model S 85D (P70380) completed the refurbishment today. It has a current estimated delivery timeline of 14...

No one has accused me of being a fake poster. At least not that im aware of.

That’s actually very good to hear. Thanks for sharing. You know what, if my situation was handeld by immediately picking it up and correcting the issues I would probably be ok with everything. The reason I feel scammed is everything that was told to me by Tesla after the fact. Salesman says...

A used car salesman is a used car salesman. You know what you're dealing with. You will inspect the car and have your guard up. Dealt with them all my life and yes have been frustrated but never felt cheated by them. Not at this level anyway. With Tesla CPO, you are banking on the companys...

No snow build up, on further inspection and checking with photos of other front bumpers and sensors, it appears that my car's sensor is detached from its usual place on the bumper and is now set inside the space or cavity cavity behind the bumper. Makes sense how the cruise control and...

UPDATE: My silent but constant complaining got me nowhere for 5 weeks. I put the post up yesterday night, and by this afternoon the loaner was here. Im glad I put the post op to get some attention, but its sad that it has had to come to this. Unfortunately I could not pick it up because it...
