I owned a 2015 S for 9 years. Auto-park didn’t exist when I bought it, but when it arrived I tried it. It was ok. Would only attempt to parallel park in a very large space, but did so competently. Over the years it got better, more willing to park in more challenging spaces, and was really...

Amazingly, nothing. He finished, I asked how much (expected $20-75) and he said "no charge, it only took a few minutes. Just write me a great review". Of course, I didn't mention "free" in the review! And, I'll definitely take the car to him when I want a full detail. Of course, I wouldn't...

After reading replies here, and doing a bunch of research, I thought I'd pass on my what I learned, and what I did. The marks on the car are called "paint transfer". If you google that, you'll find lots of advice, youTubes, etc. Not a lot of consistency. So, I decided to go by a local...

I scraped my red 2021 S against a wooden garage door, leaving an ugly stripe of whitish paint. It sort of comes off with my fingernail and lots of work, but there must be a better way. Any suggestions for something to use that won’t ruin the car’s paint? Nail polish remover, tar remover...

I just replaced my (totaled) 2015 Model S with a 2021 pre-refresh S, bought used directly from Tesla. The new-to-me car came with a cable in a rectangular case that goes from the Tesla to a US 120V outlet only. I have, from my old car, a Gen 1 UMC with a bunch of adapters. At home I had a...

Not a Plaid. How do I know if it’s a refresh?

I just bought a used 2021 Model S directly from Tesla. They only gave me one key fob. I happen to still have a fob from my recently totaled (sad story, that) 2015 Model S. I went by the local service center in Berkeley today, asking if they could pair it for me. "Sorry, we're much too busy...

I don't know if it specifically applies to a 2-yr old vehicle. I get the feeling that they've just frozen ALL deliveries of S and X. Not sure if that means the bug applies to all, or if it's just easier to not discriminate which ones to freeze.

I bought a used 2021 S from Tesla last week (vin 427...). Delivery was originally supposed to be today (12/12) then pushed to 12/15. I just now got a call from a real person pushing it to 12/17, but she didn't seem at all confident of that date either. She claimed to not know anything about what...

i just came cross this old thread while choosing a new car. i have a steep driveway so need to figure out which cars will clear it. Luckily, there’s a way. It’s called breakover angle, and it’s a function of clearance and wheelbase. It’s a bit complicated (my arctangent skills are kind of...

Thanks for the help. I de died to go with the Vhb tape, which I’d never known about. Seems quite strong, but time will tell.

My right front parking sensor (the S6 sensor) has fallen off. The sensor is still in the clip, but the clip is no longer attached to the fender. Thinking that there was something on the clip (tesla part #1097483-00-C) that was broken, I got a new after-market one because I couldn't find...
