    Drive Unit failure symptoms and thresholds for replacement

    My car is in for the first time mainly to get the shield installed and I mentioned hearing a noise on acceleration. I just received a call from my Service Advisor and Tesla will be changing the drivetrain. The car is 13 months/ 35,000 miles old. (Still the best car ever).

    Okay, here are my numbers. Over 7k miles. No noticible range reduction. Get 270 range on full charge. Average 288 kW/ mile. Drive highway in L A traffic. Use the AC as needed. Drive 120 per day, and once per week drive 255 on trip to Santa Barbara. I get home with about 6 to 18 miles...

    NRG eVgo

    I found a L2 station at the Outlets in Orange, CA. EVGO website charges 4.95 to get a card plus $1.50 per hour. I do like to charge at the public station to get decent parking as an added benefit.

    Teslas in Seal Beach

    I am at the gym in Los Al a few times per week, (blue S). Have noticed a white Model S at the gym at times. Do visit shops on Rosmoor. The population of Teslas is growing. Not as rare as it once was.

    Home Installation Cost

    I would also suggest getting more bids. I installed a dedicated meter with a new panel for about the same cost you were quoted. This included some stucco patch and running wire from the panel to the garage which was a distance. I received 3 bids and went with the fellow I felt best working...

    No. My fall back was to stop in Hawthorne on my way back. It has been close, but I have made the 253 mile round trip a few times now without stopping. My SB trips are usually meetings. I have not looked for the SB charging option yet.

    Plateau in number of Superchargers?

    Slow down or change of plans. I have seen the Oxnard location not get started and the San Juan Capistrano has been near completion forever. I know SCE and Building Departments are challenging, but when you really want something to happen, it gets done. It appears we will just wait and see...

    Can any buyer/owner now do a factory tour

    I requested a Sept. Tour and was told to request in June or July, and they do not schedule that far in advance. Looking forward to seeing the operation. Not sure if Bart will get me there or if I will pick up a rental in SF.
