    Road Hugger GTZ A/S initial impressions

    https://www.discounttire.com/buy-tires/road-hugger-gtz-a-s/p/106163 Haven't seen any feedback for these tires here so I thought I'd offer mine. My previous tires, Bridgestone Turanza Quiettrack were worn to the point of being unsafe. These Road Huggers are what were immediately available and...

    My interaction from CarShield

    So I've been exploring some extended warranty options. Thought I'd give CarShield a try. My goal: get some kind of assurance that if the battery dies then I'm not out 20k. Nothing else. Anything else I can fix myself. Of course there's no way to get an automatic quote. I have to wait for...

    What are the batteries to avoid?

    So I'm in the market for a used Model S. Is there a consensus on which batteries are to be avoided or which ones I should look for? So far I know the original 60 is one to avoid since for some reason those are more expensive to replace than the 85. I think I've heard the 90 is one to avoid...

    Rekt

    I am now entering the hell of getting a smashed Model S fixed. Driving home from Vegas a bunch of snow fell all at once causing me to lose control. This third picture is where the real damage is. You can't tell from the angle but the wheel is bashed in by about 40 degrees. Still...

    Tesla is attempting to recruit me. Anyone have experience working for this company?

    Specifically from the engineering side of things. I'm almost certainly not going to follow up on them since I'm happy where I'm at. I'm just curious about their environment.

    Regarding the longevity third party HV battery repair services.

    So I have a 2013 MS. Like many of my fellow out of warranty types I live in constant terror of the battery failing since the battery is probably worth more than the car itself. But I have a contingency plan, or at least I had a plan. Use one of the third party repair shops that fixes...

    So are we ever getting the loop playlist button or select sources back?

    Or am I just missing it on the ui? I really hate that every time an album gets close to its end I have to scramble and play the first track or Tidal starts guessing at what music I like. Also it would be really nice to eliminate "streaming" as a source. Voice control prefers it for some...

    A Microcosm of what's wrong with Tesla service, the door handles

    So I finally joined the club. The real Model S club. The minute when I knew I joined with when my door handle broke. Other people, even Model 3 people are very perplexed when I need a stick to open my drivers side door from the back door. But those of us in the club. They look at me and...

    Question regarding possible changes to energy policies under new administration

    I don't mean to turn this into a politics thread but I'm in the market for a solar power system. Was wondering if anyone thinks that waiting a few months for Biden to propose some kind of incentive is a good idea? thanks

    So is there an archived old school configurator site anywhere?

    You know, build your own Model S from around 2015 or so where you can customize damn near anything? I really miss it. The current configurator is too much like ordering a macbook.

    How do I say this without sounding dumb... is the goo really important?

    Used 2013 MS, goo leaking out of the screen. It's a familiar story by now. But what I can't seem to find out is if this is really a problem. The touchscreen seems to work on the bubbly parts. Has anyone ever had the touchscreen just stop responding? I mean, it can't be an unlimited amount...

    Are the front seats of the Model X and S interchangeable?

    Does Tesla use the same seat in both vehicles? Has anyone ever checked that? I'm looking to upgrade the seats in my 2013 MS. I don't understand what Tesla was thinking when they designed those seats. I'm an average sized guy but I have to sit very crooked to wedge myself between the left...

    Is it normal for the mcu to lose its 3g connection after it sleeps?

    So I've got this 2013 ms. I think it has the original mcu. 3g works fine. But if I'm parked for a while then the mcu, I assume, goes to sleep. After it wakes up the 3g connection is gone. I don't think it comes back. I've waited maybe 5 minutes. Resetting the mcu will bring it back...

    WTB: Rear facing jumpseats for a Model S

    Preferably with all the hardware necessary for mounting it and the bumper reinforcement bar. Looks like the going rate is $1200 plus shipping.

    WTB 2013-2015 model s

    I prefer black followed by grey and then white. And either a black or black and tan interior I'd like to get a sunroof. An 85kwh battery is very important. AWD would be a plus. Autopilot is a plus. Unlimited superchargering also a plus. Looking to pay less than 40k. thanks
