    Tesla Warranty Versions

    Old thread revival bump here. Paging @MSVroomVroom Wanted to see if anyone had copies of the pre-owned vehicle warranty from mid-late 2019. I could have sworn when we bought our pre-owned Model S from Tesla that it was a three year warranty, but of course we never received copies of the...

    Sanity Check - Free Supercharging

    Appreciate all the replies and perspective, it’s why I love this place. Unless you fall headfirst into a trust or a pile of money, from my perspective people accumulate wealth by not spending more than they have to and saving pennies where they can. While free supercharging isn’t going to send...

    2014 Tesla Model S 60 - $32500

    Appreciate all the feedback and suggestions. Regarding the Model 3 test drive, it’s a really well put together vehicle. If we didn’t need the extra space of the S (single car family with a kid and a 100 pound dog), it would be a serious contender. And without trying to offend anyone who...

    Sanity Check - Free Supercharging

    Greetings everyone. Currently in the process of purchasing a new-to-us CPO vehicle and we are selling our 2014 Model S (Pre-AP) with free supercharging in the process. My head tells me that it’s just a trick of the mind, that free supercharging truly is a gimmick for most people and isn’t...

    2014 Tesla Model S 60 - $32500

    Scheduled a test drive for this morning - have a feeling it'll be too small for our needs but since I haven't driven one yet I might as well give it a go since we're getting a new vehicle here shortly. Thanks again for the suggestions!

    2014 Tesla Model S 60 - $32500

    You may! We purchased this vehicle as a CPO two years ago, when the vehicle itself was approximately two years old; mileage warranted that it only received the 2-year CPO warranty. While I'm not scared to own a Tesla out of warranty, we're a single-car family and I'm not interested in taking on...

    2014 Tesla Model S 60 - $32500

    Not at all, really appreciate the advice - just moved and don't have access to a home charger currently, it's so hot here in North Texas right now that plugged into a 120 outlet, charging can't keep up with the cooling of the battery Next time I'm at the supercharger I'll grab the numbers, thanks!

    @jebinc I'll have to look and get back to you, only charge that high when I'm heading out on a long trip - which I haven't done for quite some time. @cucubits If you're ever up near North Houston or Denton drop me a line, love to meet up and go for a drive!

    CPO Delivery Issues - Advice Wanted

    I will say that after the inspection and test drive things quickly fell apart once more. Sales person asked me how I was going to pay for the car, even though I’d sent his colleague (as requested) a certified check from my bank for the full amount a week prior Promised delivery on a holiday...

    CPO Delivery Issues - Advice Wanted

    So, I just returned from the Dedham, MA store to inspect, test drive, and pay for my 2014 CPO MS 60. Prior to today, communication was pretty abysmal. Multiple business days to return emails, questions unanswered, phone calls ignored and never returned. I gather that the employees are...

    Using Model S/X pack intact as home/commercial storage

    While not currently integrated with Tesla, after listening to the audiobook version of this book, I learned about the theories and technologies behind V2G (vehicle to grid) methodologies. Definitely something to read up on: Vehicle-to-grid - Wikipedia

    New Englanders -- check in!

    The sales guys weren’t very knowledgeable about this, at least not currently. I offered up varying scenarios on meeting a Ranger half way, or if a Ranger was in Maine already for something else being able to meetup with them, but all they could tell me was “if it’s covered under warranty then...

    Quite alright Alan, I appreciate the praise and enthusiasm from you. Glad to hear Watertown is a professional shop, that’ll be pretty crucial for me since I’m over four hours away and they’re the closest service center.

    It’s pretty much fully loaded except for air suspension and the cold weather package, and those exceptions are fine by me. Already been doing the math on what’s the minimum percentage SOC I’ll be able to get away with for day to day use and the random road trip down south. Looks like...

    Model S battery Life Cycle Exercise

    Perhaps I should have used the word nominal, instead of small, but if I would be able to exchange my aging battery pack for a newer one for $500-$1000, I'd consider that a deal.

    Model S battery Life Cycle Exercise

    I remember reading about Tesla's battery swap option (instead of a charging), and I believe we will be able to keep the battery that we exchange for instead of picking our old one, to the effect of a small fee if the replacement battery is newer then the replaced. In theory, this should reduce...

    OP, 1) This is how free markets work, specifically so in an open forum. See every newspaper that has a financials section that nitpicks, discusses, speculates, and predicts doom about any entity that dares to do business, privately *or* publicly. 2) More importantly, this is a community...

    That makes sense, I suppose, based on the original topic of the conversation. Although it does seem to pigeonhole conversations overall. Thanks for the reminder.

    Goldman Says Model X "Prototype" at Detroit Auto Show

    I could see Tesla taking on a similar strategy that Apple does with its incremental hardware updates and iPhones, bumping current models down the line in price as they use economies of scale and engineering advances to put better technology into consumer's garages, while keeping prices constant...

    Tesla Phone App - Not working!

    This doesn't have anything to do with the new sleep mode update to the vehicles, does it? Read that it might take a bit longer (90-120 seconds I believe) to wake the cellular radios up. Probably isn't the problem, merely a thought.
