    Strange Dash symbol

    Had half shafts and front drive unit replaced on my 2020 S LR with 24K miles. First two days home from SC car was fine then the third day had blank screen and this dash symbol. Did scroll wheel reset and that cleared it and got screen back. Next morning same problem cleared again and all good...

    Bad Half Shafts

    I can’t understand Tesla not being able to make halfshafts that last. I purchased a 2018 model S a couple years ago with 32K miles and it needed them changed. The SC replaced them under warranty and said that they were replaced with an upgraded shafts. I only kept the car for a year after the...

    How to get rear wheel to turn while on jacks?

    Is there a way to have the rear wheel turn by hand while car is jacked up? I’ve heard that if you put it in neutral the parking brake will still engage. I’m painting my brake calipers and I also paint the hub of the rotors which would be much easier if I could turn the wheel freely.

    Model S Wh/m

    I just purchased a 2020 model s long range with 20K miles. It is much faster and of course much longer range than the 2018 75D I did own. I really like the new car but like the last model S I can rarely get a good Wh/m. So many here talk about mid 200 Wh/m and I can rarely get that low. I test...

    2019 model S with Raven motor

    I’ve been looking at some 2019 model S 100D vehicles. If the car has a 273 mile range and adaptive suspension does that mean it has a Raven motor?

    Rear spoiler added and blacked out

    Finally was able to purchase the correct adhesive for installing spoiler, I much prefer adhesive over tape. I also prefer the body color spoiler over carbon fiber. I really like the look of the S blacked out and getting rid of the ugly chrome trim.

    My Wh/m after one year of ownership

    I have owned this 2018 model S 75D for one year and it seems my Wh/m is high with a 363 for the last 9K miles. I cleared trip B and have been driving slower and trying to get the number down which is better at 308. Is this Wh/m unusually high? In that 9K miles there was at least 3 month’s of...

    WH/mile?

    My 2018 model S 75D has been averaging 350 Wh/mile, while my wife’s 2018 model 3 averages 175Wh/mile. Is this big difference normal because of the different models?

    Model S suspension problems

    I’ve heard about model S having suspension problems but I thought that would be after some years and upper miles. I purchased a 2018 model S 75D in early summer with 32k miles on it. Not long after owning it I noticed a nasty grinding sound when accelerating hard. So brought to SC and they...

    380 WH/MI

    I have a 2018 model S 75d with 34k miles on it. I’ve been averaging mid to high 300 WH/MI and at times up to 420. Is this normal for a mix of city and highway driving? I’m driving somewhat aggressive and usually set cruise at 82. Ive also had a yellow triangle warning show a couple of times on...

    Strange noise when turning

    I get a strange noise occasionally when turning right and accelerating fast. It’s kind of a clunking noise and what’s strange is it seems to only do it when first driving, I can’t get it to make the noise once car is warmed up. Plus it doesn’t do it all the time and I have to really get on it...

    2016 wheels on 2018 model S?

    I like the 5 spoke wheels that the 2016 model s. I have a 2018 model s and would like to swap out for 2016 wheels. When looking at refurbished oem wheels most say they won’t fit but there are a few that say they will fit on the 2018. Both wheels are 19”x8” with 40mm offset. Did something change...
