I bought a used 2018 Model S P100D and subscribed to premium connectivity (yearly plan). However, I'm not getting access to any music streaming. When I open the page, it asks for a Slacker username and password; there is a "use vehicle account" button, but it's grayed out. My 2013 Model S with...

I just bought a 2018 P100D on a certain car auction site; I couldn't resist at the price. It has under 20K miles, which is a mixed blessing given the reports of LDU failure happening more frequently on low-mileage cars. I'm trying to figure out the best approach with respect to the potential...

I was surprised to see this, but Tesla sent me an e-mail offering to transfer my lifetime free supercharging to a new car (S, X, or Y) if I take delivery by the end of the year. Tempting... https://www.tesla.com/support/supercharger-transfer

I looked down and saw this today. It went over 1400 Wh/mi a few minutes later, but I wasn't able to take a picture. No, I wasn't driving at ludicrous speed. I was averaging about 20 mph over the 5 miles. It's just the effect of urban traffic and cold weather during a Chicago...

I like the quality of the leather, and the seat heaters work well. But I don't find the seats very comfortable overall--if I drive for over 30 minutes, I tend to get a butt-ache. It seems the seat is relatively hard, and it's flat, with little side bolstering. I got into my old Audi S8...

I'm on software version 4.2. My navigation history is always blank, no matter how many times I enter destinations (including following them to the end, without canceling). It's been like that since I got the car--my DS was perplexed as she tried to demonstrate the history function to me. I...

Does anyone know if there is a paint color code sticker on the car? I've looked, but I can't find any--maybe you have to peel back carpet or something. Or even better, is there a reference for Model S color codes? I'm looking for the blue code so I can order some touch-up paint from...

Many of the pictures of Teslas that I've seen have had a nice silver Tesla license plate holder in the back (often with the "zero emissions" placeholder). Mine came with nothing. Am I supposed to have that? There's what I think is a much less attractive one for sale on the Tesla website, for...

I've read there's no tow hook on the Model S. So how do they pull it up the ramp onto a flatbed truck? Maybe I'm expecting the worst, but I've read about disabled S's that need to be flatbedded--for instance, with 12V battery issues. Well, my garage is underground, down a ramp with a 6.5 foot...

The government rates the Model S at 89 MPGe. As gregincal pointed out to me, this is based on the energy content of gasoline (see his post #6 below). However, I think it is useful to calculate another type of [cost-adjusted] MPGe which incorporates the local cost of electricity and gasoline...

Anyone get EV (electric vehicle) plates in Illinois? They're not particularly attractive in the picture, but I guess there's some exclusivity. Also, does anyone know whether you *must* get these plates to qualify for the reduced registration fee--$18 per year instead of $99?

I signed my paperwork last night. The itemization included 9.5% for sales tax. I believe Tesla erroneously used the rate for general goods and services instead of the 8.5% for vehicles. I e-mailed them about it, but haven't heard back yet. Any insight from other Chicago residents who have...
