So I was on a road trip from Austin to San Francisco in a 2018 Model S 75D with 10k miles on it. Made it all the way into southern California, and then when plugging in at a supercharger, the car died with the following messages: Unable to Charge - Service is required Unable to Start Vehicle -...

I am wanting to have an entry point for a Starlink cable to come into the Model Y without leaving a window down or the hatch opened. When I put the cable in the corner of the rear hatch and close it, it really bites down on it. Does anyone have a good solution of how to get a cable into the...

I was on a road trip in my 2-month old Model Y Performance, driving from SF-LA-LV. Everything was going well, and I was at my first stopping point in LA. I had supercharged a couple of times on the way down, and was stopping for my 3rd supercharge, after an hour of stop and go LA traffic. 20...

In my Model 3 order page's Price Details, under Additional Charges, it shows an Operating Permit Fee of $79.75. Texas has a 30-Day Permit which costs $29.75. Any idea what the extra $50 is for?

First, a bit of background. I have been driving a couple of Model S's for the past 4 years ('17 and '18), I have been in friends' and family members' Teslas, and I've test driven 2020 MY and 2021 M3 (LR & P). I also watch Tesla Daily, Dave Lee, and a few of the other channels, and keep up to...

<Vent on> My Model S has been repeatedly reporting that its window is open since last year. Talked with the Service department about it in person last year. Oh, that's a known issue and will be fixed with an upcoming software update (favorite Tesla service line). Recently, I set an appointment...

I just finished watching California's State of the State address. In it, California Governor Gavin Newsom talked about the state's wildfires last year, asserting that they were due to greenhouse gas emissions. After that, he patted himself on the back for signing a law to require zero emissions...

So, any insight on exactly when the Convertible Model S will be released? End of 2021 as a 2022 model year? Surely, I can't be the only person who noticed that Elon was talking about convertibles during Battery Day, and how a Model S Convertible with a stressed-member 4680 battery pack would be...

FYI, Following on the Del Valle school district's approval, Travis County commissioners have also approved an additional county incentive package tonight. The vote was 4 to 0 (1 abstaining). https://www.bizjournals.com/austin/news/2020/07/14/travis-county-inks-tesla-factory-deal.html (paywall)...

I have a 2017 Model S 75 (RWD), built in 9/2017, uncorked. Last week, the navigation stopped working with an error message, and roadside service call told me to take it in to the Service Center. Got the car back yesterday, with maps reloaded and problem fixed, and what I totally didn't expect...

This weekend, I watched Lex Fridman interviews with Elon Musk (part 1- Autopilot), as well as discussions around Moore's Law, Processors, and FSD with Jim Keller. The relevant extracts of these interviews are contained in this video (LINK). For the purposes of this discussion, the last link is...

The people who believed in (and invested in) Tesla are getting rich this week. I wonder if this will drive demand for high-end Teslas like the Roadster 2020? Would be curious to see if the reservation #s are ticking up this week.

I recently bought 60 shares at 240.. then sold at 185. While my strategy is not buy high, sell low, I decided to take a loss on my bet, since I intend to re-buy and hold long term, so I might as well take the loss now to offset income. I have to wait more than 30 days to avoid the wash sale...

2017 Model S 75 I have had a recurring issue where the MCU, main screen, air, music dies while supercharging, usually when it's at about 60% charge. Not even rebooting fixes it, but strangely, opening the door will bring everything back to life. My power saving is turned off, and "always...

Hello, I was looking for recommendations on bodyshops that do excellent paint work in the SF Bay Area, as well as shops that do good (minor) aluminum work. I've searched all over but can't find a forum specifically to discuss these topics - can someone give me a pointer please? Thanks!

Hello, I have an OEM Dark Ash interior trim set from a 2017 Model S. Complete, including sliding door. In great condition, with very light signs of use - no kids, no pets. One small ding, and one small chip, which happened during trim removal - see close-ups below. Asking $500 for the set.

So, My MS 75 (RWD) is less than a year old, but I'm considering going to a LR (or P, if it comes out soon) M3. I like the increased efficiency, newer design, lower price, and increased range (compared to my MS 75) of the 3. Yes, I will lose a fair bit of depreciation, as well as tax /...

So this morning, I was reading an article from last month about the crime ring that Fremont Police busted which was exporting stolen electronics by the container-load. Bay Area car break-ins allegedly tied to international crime ring Well apparently, the ring is not totally cracked. This...

I have looked through the Tesla aftermarket accessories vendors, and searched through the forum, but I haven't found anyone who has made a truly locking compartment for the Model S, where valuables can be stored under lock & key within the vehicle. The frunk would be absolutely ideal, but since...

I took my Model S 75 on its first longer trip this weekend, driving from SF to LA and back along 101. It's such a pleasure driving with autopilot. It only tried to kill me once by steering directly into the side of a semi truck cab I was passing. (It's done this before too -- I think it's...

If anyone needs the Micro USB cable that comes with Tesla Model S.. I have one and don't need it (iPhone) Let me know and I'll stick it in an envelope for you.. US only (since I'll be mailing it in an envelope).

I want to take a road trip to Austin... but don't feel like driving back. Anyone have a Tesla they're wanting to move down there? I can drive it down for you this week.

Front license bracket assembly for Model S. Removed from 2017 vehicle after approx. 300 miles. Comes with screws. You will probably want some new double-sided tape since it gets kinda destroyed when removing it. Only $10. Located in San Francisco. Will ship anywhere in the US at your expense.

I picked up my first MS 75 in June 2017. For reasons I won't get into, that was replaced by a new, exactly identical spec, MS 75 which I picked up yesterday. The new vehicle is noticeably faster accelerating. Any ideas why that could be? I heard rumors of an 85 kWh pack; is there a way I can...

My rear window was smashed last night in San Francisco. Nothing was visible in the passenger compartment -- they folded down the rear seat to see what was in the trunk. Welcome to San Francisco! Anyone know how much it costs to replace this window @ Tesla Service?

Hi, I picked up my MS75 on Sunday, and by Tuesday, the charge port was "locked out", with the little plastic locking pin stuck shut. Couldn't charge the vehicle. I called roadside assistance and they attempted to debug it to no avail. Brought it into the service center this morning and they...
