Thank you, but I use auto-steer as much as possible. The problem is that during auto-steer is when the phantom threats are imagined by my Plaid S. And when I check my daily score and the events that caused the daily score faults, I notice that yes the phantom alert is what caused my daily score...

I was told you have to request the day-trader status before a certain date (4-15-2022), to put it into effect way down the road in time (2023 tax year). You have to request it in writing (of the IRS) and then wait before you can employ it (the mark to market trading which avoids the wash sale...

I am daily getting a phantom warning of an impending collision which ruins my daily safety score, despite the fact that there was no threat, no danger, no impending collision. The car just imagines it which then ruins my safety score. How do I get around tis problem to improve my score up to...

In the end it all worked out. I picked up my 2021 Plaid S in NJ, it had temp. NJ registration plate, and I did not pay sales tax. My only unresolved issue is that I signed up for the monthly $100. FSD but since my 7-day use score is not high enough, I am not allowed to use the FSD features...

I really want my Dad to get the Plaid Model S in 2021, but whenever he reads the Terms and Conditions, all 5 pages, he goes back to watching YouTube. I tell him I'll wash it every day after pre-school, but no way, he says maybe the 2021 Ford Mach-e GT Performance Edition with the extended range...

I called a CA dealer, and they have a newer policy where they will deliver an out-of-state purchased car to Yuma, AZ to save an out-of-state customer from CA sales tax. They are not allowed to have a purchased new car leave their parking lot unless they collect sales tax. Oh well then, Yuma it...

Tesla very definitely quoted an additional $1200. transportation fee to truck it from their the nearest state where they are licensed to sell car. That was in addition to the federally mandated destination transportation fee. I do not understand about paying California sales tax if you are...

Great, I should have searched for the meaning of "Warranty Regions". Sorry about the concern over it.

On the topic of warranty, at the bottom of page 3 of the Terms and Conditions for buying a new Tesla there is a paragraph on "What vehicles are covered?" Tesla apparently will not provide new car warranty coverage if you buy a car in one "warranty region" but move to another region say across...

Has there been any litigation over this? Are there any links in TMC that spend more time on the subject? Again, have you guys read the Terms and Conditions and understood what is going on? Tesla reserves the right to basically throttle back on power and battery performance. So if they have a...

With a high powered ICE car, you may pay a "Gas Guzzler fee. Will it belong before we see an Electric GuzzIe tax? I was told I could pick up a 2020 MS LR+ car at the Paramus NJ delivery center. (costs of delivery $2500. Plus $1200.) I asked if I would save $3700. in shipping if I flew to the...

The PMS makes more sense. Plus the Plaid Model S will be more of a SLEEPER, and that trumps a LAM (LOOK AT ME). With the Roadster you are a moving target for anyone who has a cell-phone and has "Karen" tendencies. With the PMS you at least have a chance of blending in with other traffic. And...

Thanks for your reply. Maybe I can get this to work. (Grandpa is a bit slow at times) Tesla and my model designation top center The rest of the screen is grayed out, but now able to see it. Settings icon UPPER LEFT Loot icon UPPER RIGHT Warning: yellow triangle center of the screen...

OK, I have learned a lesson on that acquisition.

They would prefer to sell complete assemblies to maximize the bottom line. The best thing to do is learn who will competently swap out the 8gb sweetie to a 64gb sweetie. Anyone out there know of that competent shop or person?

I know that Richs Rebuilds is aka the Electrified Garage in Seabrook, NH.

I did not request a test drive, partly because of Covid-19 concerns. I found over the years that the car magazines do a more thorough review than I could do, and I had a 1990 LS-400 and a 2011 LS-460 AWD. So I know the Lexus is a great car. I am keeping the LS-500 F Sport, AWD as it is very...

When you pull off the black front nosecone, I have watched a Tesla technician snake a formed long rod thru the first panel, through another panel, and pull a latch so the frunk will open. You didn't think I meant drilling a hole in the bodywork or anyplace where it would allow moisture or dirt...

Do any of you have the time to relate power steering issues? NHTSA has asked me to submit any documents I have or I can assemble re: warranty replacement or used replacement from salvage cars. Perhaps you could share your experience with the MS steering box or power-steering unit replacement...

Perhaps in 2016 time Tesla returned phone calls, but not lately. I've heard this issue from a number of MS owners. I've been a TSLA stock owner for the past several months, and I could more than buy another EV after taxes from the price volatility. It's too scary for me now, but I appreciate...

Speaking about the necessity of having to upgrade an MCU1 to an MCU2: Is there a way to learn how many "writes" your car has so far on your original MCU1 (MS-'15 P85D) and how much room the memory chip has left (number of "writes" capacity before it has to be replaced at $2000. to $2500. for...

You could skip over the well thought out longer answers and just go for the one-liners.

I hope Lucid Air EVs have a club as thorough as the TeslaMotorsClub. I'd buy a 2021 Model S Plaid if it had the new battery technology and the HW4.0 Otherwise I am looking at the Lucid Air, the service problems are really difficult to live with, although there is no question Tesla makes the...

Don't know where to put this topic for the Admin and others to consider: Is there any chance TeslaOwner'sClub could shift to a different answer format? I find myself looking for more complete and well thought out responses, and notice they are few and far between. I notice I seek out the...

Bought two replacement batteries yesterday. Now the car will present the door handle so I can get inside, but I still get a dash message that the keys are not present. I took both keys,, placed them down on the rear of the console bottom surface, pressed both at once, and then gave up. About 1...

Absolutely Final Topic: Software Updates: Should we resist the latest Tesla MS software updates when beyond warranty, or are they generally best to do? I once asked Customer Service and was told you can never go back to an earlier software version. Or is there an aftermarket way available to do...

Locked out: I hope these are not dumb questions, but is there a good way to create an alternate (non-keyfob) way to get into your MS when the keyfob fails and you have to call Tesla Service to unlock your 'out of warranty MS' car? I recently had this happen in an awkward situation and it took...

On upgrading the MCU1 on my 2015 P85D, should I be getting the upgraded ECM with the larger 16GB memory improvement? I still have under 10k miles, and out of warranty. I've been reading about the $1400. improvement available from EV Tuning in Seabrook, NH. Is there a way to determine what % of...

My take on FSD is: If FSD only adds city driving to what we already get with AP or EAP, then for those of us that rarely go to a city, should we just resist the temptation to click the FSD $8k option? Or does the $8k option improve rural and interstate driving safety as well? Something could...

Agree Completely. Just recently gave up on my 2015 P85D and after 40 miles in a 2020 Lexus I asked the dealer to take it back. I couldn't believe how much more stress I experienced than the MS. Will get a new MS when the newer battery technology gets sorted out (CATL).

What will the news onTwitter from Elon Musk do to the speculative fever over investing in Tesla. I sense trouble is around the corner if he goes that route. Has he received a family threat? This doesn't make sense. Something may have happened very recently that we are unaware of.

iI have enjoyed my Model S for 5 years. I was bitter about some of the poorly engineered components on the car as soon as the warranty expired. So 2 weeks ago I moved to Lexus LS-500 F Sport. The first time I had it on the interstate and used the autopilot I realized how far out of date other...

The cost to the town is not 68 million. The existence of the factory there will result in benefits that will naturally follow.. The factory will not put any additional burden on the school budget.. Empty land is not generating tax dollars anyway.. The existence of the factory will be a huge...

What are the oranges in the steering all about? Does placing them like that defeat the Tesla insistence that the driver have his hands on the steering wheel? OK, ok, I see why no one explains it.

I thought I had enough Tesla problems to cure me of the Model S: my 2015 Model S was a handful after the warranty expired at 7,600 miles. I was informed both rear air shocks had to be replaced, along with the steering box. You don't want to know how much... Tesla would not even respond to my...

REPAIRS ON THE MODEL S ARE PAINFUL, PERHAPS BECAUSE THEY BUILT LESS OF THEM? SO IF YOU GET THE S MAYBE DON'T KEEP IT PAST THE 4 YEAR WARRANTY. OR DO OWNERS OF THE 2018-2020 FEEL DIFFERENTLY? THE S REALLY DOES RIDE NICELY IN ANY ROAD CONDITION WITH THE AIR SUSPENSION. I DON'T BELIEVE THE...

Interesting, I had ordered mine and took delivery March 2015. I was told recently even giving it to my son wipes out the free unlimited supercharging. DOES ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE HAVE ANY INPUT ON THIS?

Funny, they told me the second owner doesn't get the unlimited supercharging even if I give the 2015 P85D to my son. I got mine new in March 2015.

Does the author of the 2015 P90D still have the 2015 Tesla implication that the free supercharging was transferrable? I called Tesla and of course, they would say it is non-transferable, I would love to get any written acceptable proof that the 2015 Model S unlimited SuperCharging is...

I'm starting to think it would be worthwhile to go to Billings, Montana and change your driver's license from your home state to MT. Will that reduce the DMV consequences of violations...you just pay the fine??? BTW I found this 6-day old video on Tesla safety, excellent video. It gives me...

on China approval of new battery technology.

Have you all seen the YouTube video where the host presents 15-20 situations where FSD could not work, all in his neighborhood? That was enough for me not to order FSD with a 2020 Model S. Your descriptions of problems suggests that the version Tesla's demonstration car uses must have a...

Registration of 2020 Tesla Model S registration issues have surfaced, where no such issues arose when I bought my new P85D (7610 miles since new.) I was called by Tesla today concerned that I gave my LLC address out of state as my Registration, and suggested that my name is at the top of the...

On the possible use of the battery pack for feeding power to the house, is there any creative thought out there on how it might be done? Because of my 150 216w solar panels, I find it is not worth the time to go to our local supercharger anymore. With New Hampshire's Public Utility Commission...

I have a 2014 Model S P85D and just ordered the Founder's Edition 2020 Roadster this morning. Has anyone been working on the possible use of the battery in the Model S as an emergency house backup power source? I have 30kW of Sharp ND-216U1F solar panels but with the grid-tied requirements for...
