    Yoke horn

    I heard some chatter about the yoke horn being moved to the center of the wheel due to many complaints about the current location. Don't know if a software update or a newly designed yoke.

    VIN Issued

    Not sure, but I’m still locked into price and my VIN will be given to someone else waiting.

    VIN Issued

    This morning I looked at my ETA for delivery for my MS and it said March-April. I just received a call from my advisor saying the VIN has already been issued and I have three days to pick up the car. I haven’t even researched financing yet although I’ve gotten some insurance quotes. I told him...

    Poor Boys Leather Stuff

    I've been using PoorBoy's World Leather Stuff on my Honda's pseudo leather/vinyl seats. Can this be used on the Tesla seats (vegan?) without damage? Thanks

    MS delivery moved up again from June to March-April

    I noticed on my Tesla app this morning that my model S delivery has moved up for the second time to March April from June.Lol Of course I’d like it sooner rather than later, but it makes it hard to plan any trips. Hopefully this will be the delivery time set in stone

    Model S delivery delayed.

    Put down a deposit in early November for the model S which showed an estimated delivery of June. About a week later I downloaded the app and then it showed an estimated delivery of March -April. It’s back to June again! Lol.

    The Yoke Experience

    So just for my education. This software had already been created for the improvement in case it was needed? My guess is maybe Tesla added software ahead of time in case there may have been complaints about some of the functions.

    CA DMV failing Tesla car for behind the wheel drive test

    The examiner should have also asked her to apply the brakes in a couple of scenarios. It sounds like he or she didn’t and for that reason I would fault the examiner.

    Tesla Owners Left Stranded In Cold After Smartphone App Crashes Over Weekend

    Not to venture too off topic but some are talking about carrying their key card in their wallet. I see lots of brands that are set up so you can flip the card out on a hinge and then pull it out. Some are made out of leather and some are made out of carbon fiber. Any recommendations?

    Setting up a new Tesla profile

    I just put down a deposit for a model and have my reservation number. Tesla is now asking me to complete my profile page and to select a finance option. I’ll probably go with a third-party financial loan versus Tesla but interest rates will probably change quite a bit during the next several...

    Midnight silver metallic with cream interior.

    I’m trying to decide on interior/exterior colors for an S. I thought about being a little unconventional and ordering midnight silver metallic with cream interior but I’m not sure how that combination looks in person. Anyone on the forum have this combination? Thanks

    Damage from service visit | Full breakdown

    I only lived in Colorado for a short time. I lived in California until 2017 when I was diagnosed with leukemia. Decided to buy a house in Arizona since it’s more affordable here and to put money aside in case I need treatment. So far I’m treatment free, but my doctor said maybe next year. I...

    It's just my take. Not from one experience. I think he's growing too fast, hence quality control is not where it should be.There also needs to be better phone CS. On the other hand, he's light years ahead of other car manufacturers in terms of tech. My son owns a model 3. He had issues with...

    Damage from service visit | Full breakdown

    Wow, what a nightmare! Elon needs to step up and take care of his customers. I feel Tesla is only a cash cow for him so he can fund Space-X which is his real passion. As the old adage goes.... Too many cooks spoil the pot!

    Tucson AZ getting new Service Center/Gallery

    I just talked to the Tesla service center in Tucson on Elvira Street asking when the new service center will be open near the Tucson mall and they said they weren’t aware one will be there , even though it’s currently under construction. Perhaps Tesla management is telling staff not to...

    New Model S Plaid/LR. whistling wind noise at 79+ MPH

    Is your car still under warranty? Tesla is crazy to charge $100 if still under warranty.

    Any Tesla owners in the Tucson or Oro Valley areas?

    I decided on the S. The X is nice, but i think it's better suited to a family. Now i have to decide on exterior/interior colors LOL. The white exterior seems to be the predominant ones around here. Maybe a good choice to mitigate the heat inside the car. I'm trying to decide on interior. White...

    Paint quality

    I live in the desert so maybe white would be better anyway. Might keep the interior cooler.

    Paint quality

    I’m curious if the paint color choices other than white that we are charged extra for is actually better quality paint. Or maybe Tesla gives two coats?

    Any Tesla owners in the Tucson or Oro Valley areas?

    I'm considering the X or S. For those in the Tucson/OroValley areas, who own an S or X, what are your thoughts, pro and con? I heard a new service center is being built near the Tucson Mall, so that will be more convenient. Thanks.

    That’s good news. I’m in Oro Valley so this location wouldn’t be too far. I think there’s only one other one in Tucson that I’m aware of.

    Does any other owners out there think it is a bit strange that they can't readily access history of SW updates to their vehicle?

    Why don’t you answer his question instead of being an English teacher. We can’t all be perfect like you.

    Subpanel in the garage or outside next to the circuit breaker?

    I probably misunderstood him. I thought he meant to actually have the plug recessed into the wall but I think he was actually referring to the box being recessed, but the receptacle flush. That certainly makes more sense.

    Subpanel in the garage or outside next to the circuit breaker?

    I just had an electrician come over and inspect the area inside the garage where the outlet is going, but he suggested putting in a recessed box as it looks more aesthetically appealing. Other than that I’m not sure there’s any benefit to having it recessed. It seems though if it’s recessed it...

    What's a good brand of 14-50 outlet? They seem to range from a few dollars to about $70 for the Hubbell.

    Subpanel in the garage or outside next to the circuit breaker?

    So i don't need to buy the Tesla wall connector unless i want maximum charging power? I won't be driving daily and when i do, only for short trips. Seems like the dedicated 240V plug may be adequate for me.

    Subpanel in the garage or outside next to the circuit breaker?

    Does the subpanel need to be in the garage for ev charging, or can it be installed near the circuit breaker outside? I want to install some shelving in the garage, but will need to allow space for a subpanel if it needs to be in the garage. My circuit breaker is full, so will need a subpanel...

    ucmndd, Thank you for your reply. You make some good points. I think my concern is down the line if the paint issues get worse it’s going to cause problems with the metal and rust.

    Fit and finish issues

    After spending considerable time watching many reviews on Teslas, I remain somewhat hesitant to take the plunge and order an S. Seems like all the Teslas have had issues with fit and finish and paint. I know Elon is aware of these problems but how long is it going to take to correct? There’s no...
