You should log the exact time/day of the issue.Tesla can pull car’s records quickly with that info. I had major door issues and it worked at service, so they advised I record time/day and that worked. I had both doors not open and it was scary because I have 2 infants in carseats I couldn’t get...

Thank you!

I bought my X in March. Falcon door wouldn’t open while trick or treating. PITA. Took to service and they “fixed” it. Two weeks later, all my cameras went blank and wouldn't work, along with my charge port error message going off non stop. Few weeks later, my 3 kids were trapped in the car...

How much is mileage?

Does everyone get the MVPA? I have had my new X in to service 5 times and requested a lemon law buy back. The manager just emailed me that the would repurchase it and I’m wondering how much to expect?

What is MVPA?

How did Tesla arrive at their repurchase price? I’m at the beginning of this process. They agreed to buy it back since it’s been to service 6 times in about 6 months.

Look into your state’s lemon laws!

I have a new X and have MAJOR problems with falcon doors. They open inconsistently and sometimes not at all, for no obvious reason. It’s been “fixed” 3 times and today, neither door would open no matter where I parked. i’ve owned an S for 11 years and my new X is a total lemon. Biggest regret...

Good to know. I don’t remember which version I had. I had to take it in to Tesla & haven’t heard back as to what the issue was, exactly.

I scheduled my update for midnight & the next morning, my screen is black & car SOMETIMES will power on & sometimes will not. I had to drive it to Tesla service to fix & they said I was 4th car in today with similar problem. **ELON, IF YOU’RE READING THIS, PLEASE FIX THE UPDATE!**

Tesla still continues to be a great company. Despite the initial trouble, they made good on their warranty & I am very pleased!

Me again! I called Tesla Headquarters & they confirmed that back when I bought it, it WAS & IS covered under the 4 yr warranty. They said that policy is different now, but for early adopters, the warranty was different. So he will be calling my SC to inform them. Thanks everyone for the ideas &...

I thought so too. I have proof I bought it w/the car, but my SC guy said it's only 1 yr warranty. Can you get documentation from your SC?

Tesla service said that even though I purchased the HPWC with the car, it is an accessory & has 1 yr warranty. Does anyone have documentation saying otherwise? I bought the car in July 2013.

The service tech said he didn't know why it stopped working. He confirmed wiring was correct by electrician and that the problem was the wall connector. Possibly something in the circuit board, but there were no parts. Getting new HPWC was only choice. - - - Updated - - - Thanks everyone. I...

I purchased it with the car.

I had a certified electrician take it from my old location & install in new. It was working fine at old location. He could not get it to work upon installation. So Tesla sent out service ranger who installed new one for & $750, plus labor cost of $335. I paid the electrician to uninstall &...

You should include reliability of all Tesla parts in your survey, like HPWC, since having that be unreliable becomes an issue for commuters without nearby Superchargers, who count on it working to get to work.

I will begin by saying I've owned my Tesla almost 2 yrs now. I owned the stock, and have sung the praises of Tesla from day 1. As a matter of fact, I have sold a total of 6 new Teslas to friends and family in those 2 yrs. I have been a huge fan since before most people knew what Tesla was...

I would charge in Aurora & not CCH.

Country Club Hills, IL supercharger I have safety concerns about the Country Club Hills supercharger location. It is practically located in Markham (across the street). A police officer friend of mine from that area said I should never use that location because I would be a $100,000 sitting...

Thanks everybody. I think I will drive to Indy via Normal, IL (supercharge there), then have my Indy friend drive her ICE to Columbus. W/o a supercharger in Indy, my trip will take way too long. C'mon, Tesla! Get these superchargers in! I get the impression Tesla is more focused on new product...

Not sure if this was already discussed, if so, please tell me where to find the link. I have a business trip to make to Columbus, OH next week, but I have to pick up a friend in Indy. Is a Tesla trip possible???? Are there superchargers in Indy AND Columbus??? According to the map, no. What...

Thanks everybody. The bugs are dried on. I don't have time to spray them everyday, so I will try the soaking them in hot water idea.

I'm not sure if this has already been answered or not, but I'm having a hard time getting the dead bug marks off the paint armor part of my car. I wash with Griots soap & sheepskin mitt. This alone isn't getting the marks off-even with some elbow grease. Anybody find a product that works?

You are charged sales tax for where you reside.

0 regrets getting the 85 versus 60. If you live in winter climate, or take any road trips, 85 is the way to go!

I'm a single, Tesla LOVING lady. I think that makes me #4. So far, my hot car hasn't attracted a hot man, but in time ;)

I spent 6 months extensively researching the company & took about 8 test drives because I was VERY nervous to spend that kind of money on a depreciating asset. The most I'd spent on any car was $35,000. I have ABSOLUTELY 0 regrets & do actually wish I'd bought it sooner!! It's been almost a...

Shark is correct. The charging sound is barely audible.

It was great meeting you, KCVEINS. You are way more confident than I am. 8 miles left would have really stressed me out :scared:

I've charged at Normal, IL maybe 15 times, only ever seen 1 person besides me charging. Saw 1 guy in St.Joseph today because it's heavy travel day, but nobody was there besides me Thurs.

I'm back. It went splendidly. I had more than enough miles to get to St.Joseph, had lunch for an hour, drove to Lansing. I even charged at the movie theater (non supercharger) which I have never done before. I met another Tesla owner in St.Joseph on my way home today. Nice guy traveling from...

Thanks. I've done a bunch of trips to the Normal, IL and then on to various locations from there with ease. This one makes me nervous because the distances between charges is about 150 miles, which on paper seems fine, but with a lead foot & a Tesla, well, you owners know :)

Tesla road trip to Lansing. Fingers crossed all my charging goes smoothly! The plan is to charge at St.Joseph, then at fellow friend/Tesla owner's house in Lansing. I will admit to feeling some range anxiety. This is a new supercharger trip for me.

JeffZ, do you have a black Tesla? I drive to St.Charles twice a week & had a black one behind me a couple weeks ago. It's the 2nd one I've seen in that city (the other was a red signature).

Can I just say how much I love my Tesla, Tesla the company, & Elon Musk! What an incredible genius. I'm proud to be a Tesla owner, stock holder & fan of this company!

I will wait & see the reviews from owners on TMC before having it done.

Is it a positive piece?

Not worried about resale or mileage at all. I bought the car for the long haul & because I drive about 30-40,000 miles annually.

An Acura MDX & Honda S2000

Yes, I have an 85kwh. And agreed! Lessons learned :)

Congrats! You won't regret it one bit!

My travel distance was about 100 miles by way of mostly expressway. Because it was cold & I was driving fast (80 mph), I got to my destination with 20 miles left (starting w/195). I do value my time more than money, so I would take my ICE next time in order to save 45 minutes (30 minutes...

My car was parked outside from 8am to 4pm while I was working. Then I drove 10 minutes to the supercharger & plugged in. The regen said it was disabled so I did know the battery was cold. But it was a frustrating experience since I was on a tight schedule & had planned 20- 40 minutes to charge...

Yes, the car had been "cold" when I drove to the supercharger. It took me an hour to get 50 miles and because I was nearing 200 miles of charge, the charge rate was slowing, so I believe it would take 1.5-2 hrs to completely fill my battery. If I had arrived there with 20 miles total in my...

I was on a business trip & took my Tesla. My plan was to charge in Bloomington, IL in order to get home. When I plugged in, the numbers said 5/6 miles/ hr in the charging rate. Long story short, because it was 30 degrees outside, the battery takes 1min/degree to warm up & the car must warm up...

I was just wishing Tesla would make such an app. Thank you so much for doing this!

I'll try it!
