    Lucid (Atieva) reveal is December 14th. I'll be there, let you know afterwards.

    OK, so when was the last time that a company did a reveal and the car was dusty? If you look at the photos of the steering wheel and others the car is dusty. The little things like this makes me wonder what other little things they missed.... What is with the Trunk lid...looks like the...

    TPMS Sensors - 2013 Model S Retrofit?

    So I am looking for Winter tires for my wife and I noticed that the sites all have TPMS sensor, but my wife's 2013 CPO Model S P85 does not currently have TPMS Sensors. Can these be retrofitted to her 2013 Model S P 85? Thanks for the help

    ReGen level shifter pedals for Model 3

    Tesla has the same feature as a normal ICE car with Cruise Control. If you click the Cruise Control Lever up, then you increase speed by +1 MPH, or if you click down it reduces speed by -1 MPH. If hold up or down on the Cruise Control Lever for 2 sec or more, then the speed will raise/drop +/-...

    Acceleration Shudder

    OK, so I took my car to the Tesla Service Center and they stated that they had to "Road Force Balance" the car. This is a common issue that happens with lower profile tires due to the distance from the rim to the top of the tread is less and the sidewall is much stiffer. This means that minor...

    Acceleration Shudder

    I recently went on a Trip from Chicago to Columbus, OH. When I would accelerate to between 72mph - 79mph, I noticed shuddering, that I had not noticed prior. The shuddering would be consistent no matter the road type (black top, concrete, etc). If I dropped down to 70 mph or went up to 80...

    [RESOLVED] CPO Delivery Dilemma! Big scratches and Tesla says they won't repair.

    Fiver, Did you receive pictures of the car? If so, can you tell from the pictures? I received about 20 Pictures on my CPO before I even put the deposit down. Also look at your AiM Inspection report. It should list those scratches along with depth on it. If it does not list it, then Tesla...

    Good Buy?

    According to Tesla, the only cars that they sell to wholesalers/dealers are those that are deemed "AS-IS" Warranties and do not qualify for the Tesla CPO Program. This means that they have either a CarFax report with an accident or they received a "C, or D" rating during the AiM Inspection...

    Good Buy?

    Noticed that is stated "Certified Pre-Owned", which is not true unless it is being sold by Tesla. Only a car that is sold by Tesla can be labeled as "Certified Pre-Owned", this is a Private Party Sale and they can't guarantee the warranty. Every Model S "Certified Pre-Owned" vehicle receives...

    It all depends on how bad the tires are when they do the inspection. If they are low on tread, or have a cut, then they would replace them prior to delivery of the CPO. If the tires are within standards, then NO they would not be replaced. Each tire and vehicle is different. Tesla will look...

    Buying used Tesla

    labfm, 1) Tesla did the full inspection as this is a Certified Pre-Owned Car from Tesla. If you are buying 3rd Party/Private Seller, then you would have to have either Tesla or an authorized Tesla shop do the inspection. 2) Tesla will provide you with a "FREE" Carfax report on the car, and...

    Here is an easy way to determine what is best for you. Go to EV Trip Planner and plan your trips. Pick the 60 then switch to the 85. This will tell you how long you have to charge, the number of miles used etc. You can then decide if a 60 or 85 is right for you. Cheers

    Why a 215 mi range?

    Here is a good article on a 60 kWh battery in a Tesla Model S. With the Model 3 being smaller and lighter than the Model S, but with the same battery, then it should be able to go farther than the Model S rated 208 Miles. 215 rated miles, is not that far off considering some of the...
