    Frame Failure called "Normal Wear and Tear" by Tesla Service

    A word to the wise out there, as Joe Biden has been saying lately ‘Don’t’ supercharge unless absolutely necessary. I supercharged all too often in the failed pack with maybe 75,000 miles on it. Never beat on the car, non-garaged (it may matter) many variables. Ultimately it seems water...

    Frame Failure called "Normal Wear and Tear" by Tesla Service

    @Gixx1300R On another note, may I ask if you have had any issues with your HV battery pack? The reason I ask is I also have a 2013 build Model S which was a 60 kWh pack until last August when it went haywire, literally, out of the blue throwing codes out like no tomorrow ultimate dieing in my...

    Battery Imbalance after 8 years

    I, very recently, replaced an ‘A’ pack on my 2013 MS for over $12K. Would you say in your experience and expertise that the new ‘C’ pack I had Tesla install is more durable over time and less suspect to moisture ingress and ultimately failing?

    2015 Model S - no error when one headlight not working?

    What did that run to have the headlight assembly replaced if I may ask?

    2015 Model S - no error when one headlight not working?

    It happened to me once and never had a problem again. Both headlights have been working fine with good output since the one occurrence. No error message and didn’t notice the car icon status on the IC

    Dust Behind Instrument Cluster (Cleaning?)

    Here are a couple of pics of the incurred damage as a result of ‘service’ I took about 2 months ago just after the service visit to replace the recall EMC and upgrade to LTE. My touchscreen developed bubbles from the service which I had to pay an agreed half price for the replacement which I...

    Dust Behind Instrument Cluster (Cleaning?)

    Wow smh thanks for the pics. I let scratches in the silver bezel trim go in various spots which was overshadowed by much larger issues that needed to be resolved in my last service visit. Pretty annoyed over a hole slightly larger than say a large pin would make but noticeable on the leather...

    Dust Behind Instrument Cluster (Cleaning?)

    @Arktctr when you mention ‘damaged a few dash pieces’ which will now be replaced. Are we talking scratched silver bezel pieces during repair which I’ve experienced and overlooked or worse?

    Why is Tesla Solar so Inexpensive Compared to Others?

    Interesting yeah I agree with you and that frame of theory despite the fact that it would hit my pocket.

    Why is Tesla Solar so Inexpensive Compared to Others?

    No definitive ruling or expectation from the IRS or governing body which really surprises me. If anyone has any knowledge as to the contrary please post your findings bc I'd love to hear it.

    Why is Tesla Solar so Inexpensive Compared to Others?

    Our conversation with the IRS. We spent a great deal of time on the phone with the IRS seeking answers to these questions. Everyone there was extremely helpful, but it took being transferred to several individuals within the organization, before we were able to get a hold of someone with some...

    Why is Tesla Solar so Inexpensive Compared to Others?

    Gotcha and thank you for the point of view. Also it can be noted that SREC's which we both enjoy and love are tax free income in essence.

    Why is Tesla Solar so Inexpensive Compared to Others?

    When you both speak of 'tax free' and tax free per year can you expand on your meaning here please? And how that relates to 'all-black panels?

    Regen and Braking on Snow/Ice/Slick Roads

    Thanks for your input. I would like to hear from some others with only the RWD motor and note their experience. I have a RWD MS and although it's ok in the snow and slick roads I have not tested it so much and my experience is limited. I can recall a time where I lapsed and didn't 'feather'...

    My Model S door handles were upgraded to Model X handles

    What is the process to calibrate door opening for a handle that presents normally but doesn't open the passenger door when pulled upon?

    What is this that broke and is this common on Model S?

    @dark cloud What indication has you thinking this MS is in California? I think the location is west palm beach in Florida. Still yeah very clean underneath, well it's only 3 years old w/ 30K miles so just getting 'broken in' No pun intended, sorry about the control arm.

    Model S windshield wiper upgrade!

    Bosch Icon is the way to go although I picked up some Michelin wiper blades at Walmart in the past to try them out and I got a good year out of them just to see the difference. Not as sleek and visually appealing as the Icon blades though IMO

    Real-time Kwh/mile sudden drop

    Agreed. With range mode ON too still 167 wh/m is unheard of, hence, my post like seeing a unicorn this morning. Additionally my wh/m was pinned at 637 for quite a few minutes which I thought was weird too and this is right before it plummeted to 167 which then raised to like 222 and such for...

    Real-time Kwh/mile sudden drop

    Maybe when I dropped below 25% traveling on the highway and let up on the accelerator that action along with the shutdown of the battery heating operation caused the kwh/mile to drastically lower. Not sure, possibly. Thanks for your reply. You have never seen your kwh/mile that high? What...

    Real-time Kwh/mile sudden drop

    This morning I experienced a sudden drop from 637 kwh/mile to 167 kwh/mile while driving for 10 minutes at this point in 36F temp with a battery pretty much cold soaked since I only pre-heated for maybe 10 minutes before starting out. I have never seen this happen before and there was no...

    Question about door handles

    @Pluto Nice and congrats on the fix. Did the tech share what the problem was with that particular handle? Any chance it was a goodwill repair?
