    Has anyone had paint repair in south/west suburbs at non-authorized body shop?

    I believe Rainbow Paint in Braintree sells the paint that Tesla uses. That's where Hollis Autobody gets it from, according to the guys from Rainbow. I went in there with my S to get paint for my old Jeep Wrangler, and they immediately started a Tesla conversation. They pointed right to a...

    Body Shop Recommendations

    I know this may be too late at this point, but I had the majority of my passenger side replaced at Hollis Auto Body last year. The work was very well done, very slow, and unbelievably expensive. insurance covered it all above my deductible, but the number was staggering. When did Highway in...

    Supercharger - Milford, CT - Boston Post Road

    Sitting here at the new Milford charger currently. When I plugged in I received an error message on the driver's screen, charging didn't start. Something about disconnecting, tapping the brakes, and trying again. I moved to a different stall, and same thing. This time I ignored it, and in about...

    Whispbars

    As you can see in my avatar, I have the whispbar bars and the whispbar box. Yes, it's a noticeable noise difference, but our cars are so quiet, it's an unfair comparison. the noise is not offensive, and we have done long road trips with the box and bars, and no one complained at all.

    New England Group here on TMC? Still Alive?

    I went to Q Car Care in Burlington MA. The owner, Ben, is a good guy & young entrepreneur. I have full front and rear clear bra protection, as well as his proprietary Q Complex nano coating on the whole car. When I do a proper cleaning, whether in my driveway or via the laser touch less wash...

    Ditto. I've been playing with LOTS of different settings, and I haven't landed on anything that I love across the board for multiple types of music Any input from others would be great

    S2505 enacted on 1/3

    Bill S.2505 Mass supports further EV proliferation. I wish we could drive in the HOV lane while the study was going on, but the rest of the measures are good long term wins.

    Tesla Friendly Dwellings near I-95 and I-90?

    Bentley and Brandeis both have EV chargers. There are TONS of apartments near both schools. Have you taken a drive by either neighborhood?

    From Tesla Service NA today: Hello Eric, Thank you for contacting Tesla Vehicle Support. This is something that we are aware of and you should be receiving an update to correct this issue. I apologize for any inconvenience.

    i started in the 6-6-6-6-6-6 team, and today i moved to the 8-8-8-8-8-8 group. i guess i'm moving on up! I hope we get a patch soon. This is quite aggravating.

    Yup, I've noticed the same thing. Slightly less annoying but still not 100% the way it should be functioning

    This skipping problem was fixed with an OTA Update sometime in Oct/Nov Are you still having this issue?

    Be honest: is SCing on a long trip annoying?

    When we did Boston to North Carolina coast and back this summer, we left at 7:30PM when our 10 month old falls asleep, and drove all night. That leg of the trip was a breeze. All 3 passengers, wife, sister, and our son, slept soundly for 2-2.5 hour stretches between SC's. It gave me a chance...

    Model S made me physically sick..

    On our first test drive in a P85D my wife and I turned to each other after a whole shot from a stop light and we both were grey with nausea. I of course then burst out laughing and said, let's buy on these things now! We "settled" for the 70D, and I'm not at all disappointed. But every now and...

    Firmware 8.0

    I actually had the same feeling today. I do 100-300 miles of AP a day, so I cross the same areas frequently. The car clearly behaved differently today than it did 24 hours before. It was actually quite unsettling. I'm a huge Tesla apologist but I'll be honest, I was really disappointed today.

    8.0 Slacker issue with first song after the car starts

    This seems to be fixed with 2.42.40!! Updated this morning on 70D. I started one of those threads due to my frustration. I'm happy again!

    Firmware 8.0

    As one of the complainers about songs cutting off at roughly 40 seconds to go when 8.0 launched, I can confirm this is fixed on 2.42.40. I always noticed it when I got back in after being parked for a bit. I've done that twice today and the song that was paused played out all the way.

    Tesla moments

    I was parked in downtown Plymouth, MA, America's Hometown, as we like to call it. I was getting some emails done before I got out to grab a coffee. Out of no where, I am scared half to death by someone knocking on my passenger window. After my heart rate dropped back to a reasonable level I...

    Main Screen keeps rebooting by itself?

    I'd agree with this completely. Haven't had another issue since about 2:00EST

    I received a call from the Dedham, MA SC on this after I sent in my email to ServiceHelpNA. They admitted to lots of version 8 bugs. They also let me know that Tesla hasn't created a good way to see into Version 8 yet to diagnose these bugs. Yikes. Anybody having similar issues, please send an...

    2015 70D with 8.0 When using Streaming Audio, songs keep stopping, and then skipping to the next song, with 40 seconds remaining. I've been noticing it more and more. Not sure if it's more prevalent with curated playlists, but I'm currently listening to the Tesla Top 20, it's happening every 3...

    Trip on Rte 3 south of Braintree and over the Canal

    I cross the bridge a few times each month, but I've never had the cojones to use AP going over. Now I want to try it next time! And yes RT3 needs some help. We live in Norwell, so that's our main road to get anywhere. In the rain, my AP doesn't always love those faded lines.

    New New England Supercharger Locations

    My chademo adapter has saved my rear end quite a few times in the 2 months since I've had my 70D. They usually have prime mall parking right near a half way decent restaurant with better than half way decent bourbon. For me range anxiety has totally eroded away into the excitement of how many...

    Which Roof Box are you using with Whispbar?

    How is the storage space on the 701? I'll be using it for both random ski trips and long distance road trips(luggage, baby stuff).

    Hingham Showroom Grand Opening Event 1/28 6pm-8pm???

    I live right down the street, and needed to swing by Derby tonight anyway..... It's a Tesla store. Quite honestly, I'll be shocked if it lasts for more than 12 months. They are attempting to keep a couple cars in regular parking spots relatively close to the store, but Derby is a busy place. I...

    WWYD: De-Chroming

    so those rocker panels are all vinyl? So you need to remove them to apply? I want to color match my rockers all around and my detailer is recommending vinyl as well. Looks great!

    Which Roof Box are you using with Whispbar?

    I did a quick search and this doesn't seem to be getting talked about. Which boxes are the ski/snowboard/camping/traveling crowd using?? We have a Boston to Topsail Island, NC trip coming this summer and I'm starting my research early. ;-)

    I'm not anywhere near my car. 2 floors up in a hotel, and on the main screen Summon has appeared. I'm afraid to touch it. :scared: What if my car tries to drive through a wall to find me??? But wouldn't it be nice if it could pick me up a the front door. :love: Has anyone else seen this? I...

    [Rant] locals clogging the Highland Park, IL supercharger

    Never have, never would. I have witnessed the vacant car phenomena many times though. Even the service center has been guilty of this. Charging customer cars or inventory cars for hours. I guess until lines start developing around the Boston area chargers, we will count ourselves lucky.

    [Rant] locals clogging the Highland Park, IL supercharger

    Playing devil's advocate, because any point deserves a counter point. I live roughly 25-35 minutes away from my nearest Supercharger that is also a Service Center. I work in sales, and I'm on the road between 150 & 400 miles per day. More often than not those miles are up and down the major...

    Test drive without appointment?

    At the DEDHAM MA location when I was still considering options and what not, I did a scheduled appt and a drop in. Both times I drove different cars to get a feel for the different seats, batteries, etc. They were always busy, but managed to fit us in. The sales folks at Tesla are generally very...

    7.1 yellow clock disappeared before I updated

    7.1 loading as I type. I'll have a new car to drive tomorrow morning. I hope I'm not too annoyed by some of the items people are mentioning on here. Time will tell. Based on when I received the update at first, when it was taken away, and then when it came back, Tesla fixed the update for 70's...

    I'm in the same situation. Let the speculation begin, but maybe they pulled the update for some reason???? WMAC, what trim are you driving? I'm 70D. Maybe some correlation

    7.1 yellow clock disappeared before I updated

    I may be a new owner but I'm not that oblivious. Still on 7.0, and I actually assumed the same thing about it defaulting to the standard 3:00am time. No dice. I wish there was a way to "check" for an update like what my iPhone does. That might allow me to go get it, knowing it's already been...

    7.1 yellow clock disappeared before I updated

    Yesterday morning I got into my 3 week old 70d with the update screen and the yellow clock. I needed to get going to a meeting, so touched outside the box as I often do to close any box in the UI. During the whole drive, the yellow clock was there reminding me of my first OTA update. I took...

    Does Model S need to be plugged in to receive firmware updates? Or on wifi?

    Just finished a 25 minute drive and noticed the whole time, sitting in driveway, driving, even arriving at location, lots of hard drive sounds coming from behind the dash. Maybe it's downloading....... Hopefully I wake to a notification tomorrow morning
