    The “Tesla” wave. Is there such a thing?

    Once upon a time many years and far fewer Tesla's around there was:

    FS: 21" Staggered Model S Grey Turbine Wheels w/ Tires SoCal

    I have 4 21" Grey Turbines in perfect condition (no curb rash or scrapes of any kind on any wheel) with Michelin Pilot Super Sport's on them. The tires vary between 4-6mm remaining tread. TPMS (gen2) included as well as a set of brand new grey center caps. I'd really prefer local pickup, I...

    Improved supercharging time

    I supercharged late last week after getting .12.1 and saw it hit 142kw in my 12/16 build P100D.

    creaking in front end, Warranty expires in 104 miles, but service center is 200 miles away

    I believe as long as you report the problem prior to warranty expiration it will be covered. My other half also agrees with this and worked for Tesla service for a couple years.

    Top 10 Superchargers based on Tesla screen at Kettleman City and other locations

    I was at both locations in the afternoon as well as after 10pm at night. Despite that as they are showing usage from the past 24 hours, I wouldn't expect spc busy times of day to impact it as it would all even out over that time period.

    Top 10 Superchargers based on Tesla screen at Kettleman City and other locations

    I noticed something during a road trip in July to Monterey (whose lobby also has this display) Having charged a few times at Monterey and looking at their monitor, Fountain Valley (always very busy, 16 stalls) was consistently on the top 10, yet both stops at Kettleman on the way up and back...

    Front wheel sizes, will they fit?

    I recently picked up 4 new arachnids for my car and I noticed they are all 21x9.0 size. Can anyone tell me, are these going to fit on the front of my P100D if I put some 245 pilot super Sports on them or do I need to track down some 8.5s? Thanks

    How often to people try to race you?

    Back when Tesla's were not as common around here, I had other cars attempting to race me *constantly*, probably 90% of them driving BMW's. I confess if the conditions are suited for it I will oblige, and it nearly always results the same way with them in my rear view ;) I lost just once in...

    How to play music from within the MS while washing or working outside of the car?

    Turning on range mode will turn the DRLs off, I had the DRL button on my original P85 but not on the P100D and this is what works. I'd rather still have the DRL button, no idea why they did it this way.

    San Diego based car washes/detailers

    To add to that and my previous reply here. The person I recommended, Jason, was an owner of Elite Finish Detailing with Wes. Awhile back they decided to go their seperate ways (I have no details on reasons) and Wes purchased his half of the business from him. While Jason was normally the one...

    What's my 2014 P85 worth? 84k miles

    I recently sold my 2013 P85 with 85k miles on it. At time of purchase (3/13) it had every option minus the rear facing seats and the dual chargers. I also had the extended warranty giving the new owner 15k miles of warranty time left. The car was in amazing condition inside and out. I looked...

    Minor accident, 20 percent fault?

    I have actually spoken with and gotten estimates from 2 body shops, they both fell in the 7-8k range. I'll post the relevant pieces of the estimates later today, just about to put a deposit down for M3 :)

    Minor accident, 20 percent fault?

    I'd agree if I wasn't driving as spirited as I was it could have been avoided, although I don't believe I violated any law and should not be responsible / held at fault at all. I also believe it's easy to Monday morning quarterback any video like this and know what could've / should've been...

    Minor accident, 20 percent fault?

    Both myself and the other car are insured by Progressive as well. Body shop estimate, just shy of 8k, and almost a 2 month wait before they can start work. Apparently there's a backlog of crashed Tesla's?!

    Minor accident, 20 percent fault?

    I forgot to answer the ever important question of the reason I was told I was 20% at fault. It was due to the other car having their turn signal on, according to the claims adjustor.

    Minor accident, 20 percent fault?

    Here are some pictures of the damage. Anyone care to guess what the body shop estimate is? :) I'll add the other car's damage (that I could see at the time) also.

    Minor accident, 20 percent fault?

    Okay, first of all - the speed display on the dashcam is very lagged and not something reliable to look at when speeds are changing quickly. It shows me stopped yet doing 25mph at the beginning of the video, it also seems to indicate I was doing 47mph just prior to impact. In reality I was...

    Minor accident, 20 percent fault?

    I sent them the video almost immediately, once I told them I had a dash cam and had the accident recorded they were completely uninterested in any witnesses or any other evidence. I got the impression those insurance folks really like dashcams.

    Minor accident, 20 percent fault?

    Last week I got into a minor accident when another driver proceeded to start making a uturn from the right lane of traffic while I occupied the left lane. For as long as I've been driving my Model S, I couldn't determine if we'd stop in time and as it turns out, I didn't, though I couldn't...

    San Diego based car washes/detailers

    I've had mine cared for by a company down in San Diego (I'm in OC) and continue on with the same person who is no longer with them. He does incredible work, anything else i can say would just be understating the quality of his work, and he will come to you. I spoke with him and he's fine with...

    Supercharger - Fountain Valley (LIVE 28 Aug 2015, Expanded 27 Oct 2017, 16 stalls)

    I just stopped by there as I was out and about, and the signs / cones / etc were all gone, so I pulled into a spot and checked the supercharger.. low and behold they are turned on and everything appears to be in full operation! It's not showing on the nav system, but it worked just fine. As...

    Supercharger - Fountain Valley (LIVE 28 Aug 2015, Expanded 27 Oct 2017, 16 stalls)

    I've got doubts about that.. I stopped by this evening and it sure looks like it's ready to go, guessing they did pavement today. Hmm, Tapatalk is crashing when I try to insert photos, so here's a link to the few I took earlier. Dropbox - fvsuper

    Tesla moments

    I was in Vegas last weekend when I happened to find myself next to a Ferrari 458 in the middle of the strip, and after a little chatter (and me making some funny gestures as if I was trying to 'rev' my engine) this is what happend. The reactions from the Ferrari owner and his wife were just...

    Dash cam installer in Orange County, California?

    Have you experienced HomeLink problems since 6.1?

    So you know that you're not alone, I too am experiencing Homelink issues since receiving the 6.1 update but have yet to take any measures to resolve yet. I'm coming up on 2 years ownership and it's always worked very well, now it's very moody, It seems as though during the daytime it works...

    Who is past 50K Miles and NOT buying the extended warranty? Did the gamble pay off?

    is it 50k or 48k? I've been contemplating this as I am currently at 44.5k miles and have spent more than my share of time at service so far, though less and less frequent more recently.

    CQuartz Finest detail in San Diego - Elite Finish Detailing

    I've had nobody but Wes and Jason @ Elite take care of mine and couldn't be happier with them. Jason was just at my house for what must've been over 11 hours doing a bunch of paint correction and reapplying cquartz, totally amazing job.

    Chronic Misalignment - HELP

    I'm in the same / similiar situation as the op. My car just turned 1 year old (26k miles) and I've had more alignments than I can count with both hands. Most recently over the past month or so they've not been able to get it completely right- it would go left on accel and right on decel (no...

    Drive Unit Replacement Poll

    4th times a charm.. I hope! First 2 were due to a low noise, the 3rd was replaced when the car gave the message "pull over safely, restart car to drive" and I'd have no motor power or regen until I could turn car off then back on.

    Firmware 5.9

    She goes from very high to high upon hitting 22-23mph and then from high to normal about ~33mph. It could be 20/30 and a bit slow to react.. though I was accelerating fairly slow while watching.

    Pull Over Safely, Restart Car to Drive

    This just happened to me as well on the 405 during hard acceleration. I spoke with service who checked the car remotely and said they saw nothing in there and that it may be a 5.9 thing. I have a 'B' pack BTW.

    Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

    Same here, at first I kept wondering how I kept forgetting to close the charge door every morning. I can't say for certain. but around 5.8 sounds about right to me too.

    Main Battery Replacement

    I picked her up today, had them attending to a couple other minor things while she was in there. They did in fact replace both the 12v and high voltage packs. The reason given was: Open fuse in high voltage battery pack. Drive not available. Logs show multiple instances of...

    Had My Annual Service Today - Is this SOP?

    I was in for service at the Torrance service center and also got an ICE rental, after learning they'd need to keep my car a couple of extra days while waiting for new door handles to arrive, the service tech told me to let them know if I needed to put gas in and they'd take care of it. I...

    Agreed, none of those items hardly require significant development work... they really should release the SDK so we can help ourselves and them.

    Playlists on USB

    I gave symlinks a try a few days ago, created several (relative) links to various songs in other dirs and put a few actual files into a test directory too.. unfortunately the Tesla media player doesn't see/show the links, I'm sure it'd be trivial for them to correct it..

    Decreasing rated range.

    I finally broke down and upgraded to 5.8.4, though I see no difference in 90% charge between that and 5.6. I did a range charge earlier, am seeing 225-226 90% and 258.3 (per visibletesla) on max charge tonight. 18.5k miles, do not know if I have a or b, Vin is 068xx.
