I wish to thanks each of U for Ur thoughts and comments on this warranty offer issue.

Well, today I received the trade - in estimate from Tesla Motors and to my surprise it increased by 15K with the Clear CarFax report. Tesla is offering 40K towards the purchase of the Model X. CarMax with the Clear AutoCheck report has only increased its cash offer by 4K ( 35K w/ false...

Thanks 182RG for the link to dispute CarFax - Vehicle History reports; On Sept.8th, 2016, when I approached Tesla about trading in my 2010 2.5 Fusion Red Roadster on a Model X, I was informed that an existing CarFax accident report listing the Roadster as being involved in an accident in Texas...

Thanks Wiztecy, Most of my travel has been short distances. Will engage cruise control during my upcoming trip to Tesla service Oct. 7, in Denver. Question ? What is the binoculars icon , indicating " Watched" all about on some the list of posted treads, and who selects the posts they are on ?

Wiztecy, I have the 2.5 model Roadster, I don't wish to sound uninformed after 6 years of ownership and 24,500 miles,but I am not familiar with, nor have I used the cruise control system, if it has one. How does one access cruise control on a Roadster. Embarrassed ?

My extended warranty ends Dec.2016., my question to the owners of Tesla Roadsters is; Do I continue to have the Roadsters yearly service performed in Denver( now due ) and pay out the $600.00 + service expense or visit the service dept. after warranty ends and only when there is a legitimate...

Thanks 4 bringing the "Sports" heading to my attention. I went to AutoTrader and edited out the word "Sport" in the 4 sale title." Note" The change in the ad will not take effect 4 24 hours. It will read " Used 2010 Tesla Roadster UNAVAIL ! " I also stated in the sellers comment section of the...

MileHigh, Don't listen to the those, who's comments are based on assumption. I just check on the sills, they are in the bedroom closet wrapped in a plastic bag. I will load the door sills on either N A Van lines or Mayflower depending on which service we use. I do not wish to see these items go...
