    Model Ys delivered in Feb...

    Took delivery of our MY today. It has the updated center console. Haven't checked for heated steering and no idea what the headlights are supposed to look like. I disconnected for a while. Glad to be back and see how much the community has grown! VIN1257XX

    MY with new console spotted today

    We took delivery of your MY today. It has an updated center console. I ordered in January. Overall it is great, no issues but I didn't have high expectations since it's a daily driver. Can't believe I've been on this forum since 2012 and this is our first time purchasing after all these years. I...

    WTB: Tesla red calipers for S60

    I have a set with less than 500 miles on them. I am ready to part with them. I bought them to swap out my 2012 p85 calipers but never got around to doing it. Since upgrading to my Model X I no longer have a need for them. I wanted to save them in case a project car came along but that seems...

    New P100d model S failed!!!

    I agree...I once had a 12v that died and all sorts of alerts popped up. As soon as it was replaced everything was fine.

    Tesla service center will not NOT install aftermarket wheels

    Have you asked TSportline if they have any recommended installers?

    Hit and Run at Supercharger at Fox Hills Mall

    Saw an owner hit the supercharger stall today around 1pm at the Westfield Fox Hills Supercharger. He drove off right away thinking no one would notice. Too bad he has an easy to remember custom license plate. I won't post it on the forum but I totally saw you hit the Supercharger stall and...

    Are all service centers now Monday-Friday only?

    The LA SC is now closed on Sundays. I never had an issue with it interfering with my work schedule since they offer the valet service and drop off a loaner.

    Key Left in Trunk, didn't know for days

    I'm assuming they threw the key in the trunk and just walked away. The "walk away door lock" feature took over from there and my car stayed locked.

    Key Left in Trunk, didn't know for days

    The trunk is supposedly a "Dead Zone" like the cubby pocket under the touchscreen. I have had the service center lock my key fob in the trunk for me when they would deliver my car when no one was home as well as the airport service. My car stayed locked with the key fob in the trunk. I unlocked...

    Tesla Service Named Best Car Repair Shop by Consumer Reports

    Agreed...service has always been focused on getting my car repaired. The communication issues they encounter come from sales not being properly trained or versed in the product which then creates the burden for Service. I've always received the best communication and accommodations from the LA...

    Proactive Contactor Replacement

    No idea how many cars are affected. I didn't care to ask. The process was so easy I didn't even have time to think about it. The 30% soc made sense since they needed a bit of range to drive it back to the service center about 15 miles away. If it helps, I have a VIN S005xx.

    "Check Tire Pressure System, Call Tesla Service"

    His alert would say "tire pressure low" when there is a tire "pressure" issue. It appears that the "system needs service". When I switched to my 21" TSportlines I came from 19" wheels and my Service Center re-programmed the thresholds for 21" specs and my alert went away. Give that a shot...

    Proactive Contactor Replacement

    Just had the update performed. The low charge is for safety reasons since the battery pack is opened for the update from what my rep told me. I don't notice a difference with the charging or anything but at least I got a free car wash, loaner and valet service out of it. I didn't even notice my...

    Stolen Model S crashes after police pursuit. 7/4/14

    This apparently was a rumor started from a Northern California Service Center. The person that stated this may no longer be around.

    Tesla warranty now has 8 year/infinite mile battery & drive unit warranty retroactive

    What does this mean for the 40kw owners?

    Anyone have the new heavier rotors that fix squeal?

    I have the new rotors and the squeal came back. My service advisor told me to drive the car on "Regen Low" from time to time and that eats up the brake dust making the noise go away.

    It's that time again - embarrassing loud AC compressor

    I've opted out for now. The weather in LA is pretty much the same everyday and doesn't get too hot. Summer's also over so the noise hasn't bothered me too much. I did hear that all of the newer cars have this installed from the factory.

    Getting another Model S when car is in the body shop

    you can wait to have the repairs done while you are out of town if thats in the near future for you. Some ICE cars are still nice, I drove my buddie's E63 AMG and got an instant boner...that's something I have never got from my Model S. Don't get me wrong, I love my P85 S but sometimes it does...

    Tesla & Mobileye

    This technology would be nice if it were used to save lives in instances with seizures, heart attacks and such. But in reality, especially in a city like LA, its just going to help the driver send a text or email without having to pay any attention. Then who's to blame?

    Tesla & Mobileye

    I don't think so. Tesla will most likely find a way to do this "in house" and Mobileye will be phased out from developing anything for Tesla. There's so many other aftermarket companies doing the same thing so Mobileye doesn't seem any different. Just because its installed in some Model S, it...

    Salvage or repair my Tesla

    Tesla does not sell parts to non approved body shops. Going with a new car is a better option. I'm sure that its in the Tesla records somewhere that your car is going to be a salvage. Especially since you've already taken it to an approved body shop and have communicated your concerns with Tesla.

    Punctured Tire

    No need to worry. Its just the tire. Tire repair is pretty painless and easy. Go to a shop like Les Schwab or Discount Tire.

    Need input--service issues to ask about during upcoming annual inspection

    They went away from the camber bolts. I had them for a bit and the last time my car was in service they were removed. Nothing unusual about tire wear either. I trust my service advisor enough to not ask why. Like most of the fixes i'm starting to realize that its just mental fixes for paranoid...

    The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly - When your touchscreen goes down

    I was able to force my screen to wake up by holding the scroll buttons until the screen came back on. I held the buttons down for almost 2 minutes.

    Service Center refuses to change tires due to bad alignment - Resolved

    What caused your Model S to be misaligned? If you kick your rear tires hard enough or graze a curb you can cause the alignment to go out of place. I curbed a wheel and pushed my alignment was off.

    Melted Charging Adapter/Cord

    They will not replace it every time. Service was able to determine that it was an issue with my outlet by sending an electrician. There was too much current to one prong causing an overheating issue.

    Service Experience

    I got this update too. Its because our 21 inch grey wheels were delivered with chrome lug nuts instead of black. It looks so much better!

    Hello! This is my first post.

    Thanks for the warm welcome! I've looked at the Model S and it seems like a great car. For now I am looking for a small, fun car to drive around. I feel comfortable with buying a Roadster because it has been around long enough for Tesla to work out all of the kinks/issues. I also do not have...
