    2012 Model S Signature Cars

    Your OG 2018 RWD probably is less than 5sec 0-60. It should be a tad faster than a stock 85 from 2012... But neither of these are "brutal" - for that you need to get into a performance version of any of these vehicles...

    Fix 2017 Model X suspension issues, or trade in for a new Y?

    As noted, the issues you are experiencing do not necessarily require Tesla for service (in contrast to sensors, the HV battery, the drive unit, etc..). Please get a couple of second opinions from shops that work on suspensions - it will probably require the Upper Control Arms immediately, and...

    2024 Model 3 (Highland)- Spoiler improves or reduces range?

    on the early Model S (2012/13), the same debate ended with multiple owners experiencing lower range with the spoiler. Good for looks and downward forces, but as noted earlier, if it increased range, Tesla would have put it there for base models

    Cracked roof, any chance it's covered under warranty?

    There is an impact point. It’s unlucky for you

    Supercharger - San Diego, CA - The Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch (permit, 12 V3 stalls)

    There are actually 10 stalls on the top level (see pic) and 2 stalls in disabled parking downstairs (see pic above). The supercharger cabinets are in place next to the transformer pad (see pic), and conduit to the two disabled spots is installed in the ceiling of the parking structure. Conduit...

    2017 X 100D. What is a degradation level that will trigger a battery replacement ?

    At some point, the battery malfunctions and Tesla will agree that your battery needs to be replaced. If its under warranty, you don't pay. If after warranty, you pay.

    used p100ds now are dirt cheap. What's going on?

    I feel like it's analogous to comparing a new BMW M3 to an older M5... if you love the M5, aint no way you're settling for the M3, even if it's new

    used p100ds now are dirt cheap. What's going on?

    The 2016 p100d will still smoke a new MYP

    used p100ds now are dirt cheap. What's going on?

    10k for a third party battery and you lose ludicrous, range, and general performance? that's for someone who is desperate. Maybe if they did it for labor only, less than 1k.

    2018 MCU upgrade 2.5>3, what does it enable?

    MCU is not the same as "HW"... this is a discussion about AP HW2 to HW3 (FSD capable)

    FSD now $8,000. Who's buying?

    I have a 2018 that now has the option for $2k. If Tesla had done a better job managing vehicle values, I’d consider. But, to put in $2k into a car that is worth 10-14k is lame. And after they take everyone’s money, Tesla will abandon HW3 and focus on HW4. No thank you

    Still don’t have FSD trial.

    Rohan will provide an update soon like he has in the past… oh wait, he got fired

    The ultimate demand lever and consumer confidence booster?

    the 'value of the company' does not increase simply by offering more shares (especially for free). That's just simply not how it works

    2018 Model S purchased with FSD

    you're all set! no one knows the exact answer to any of those questions, not even Elon. His stated goal is to be able to make your car (and mind) into an autonomous robotaxi. Most would say it's not possible with the hardware though

    Supercharger - San Diego, CA - The Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch (permit, 12 V3 stalls)

    supercharger bases for the pedestals are present on the second floor of the adjacent parking structure and a supercharger stall (!) is present in the disabled parking spot on the first level. It looks like the original construction noted is for the transformer and now a space for cabinets has...

    $382 for a software update?

    much easier to just change the wheel configuration from the screen. That will perform the ultimate software reset / restore ... try it

    Will legacy ever see V12?

    it really all makes sense (now)... the goal was to push out a free trial asap to folks that may continue on with a subscription and hence raise revenue while vehicle sales are soft. Getting this out to legacy cars doesn't bring in revenue since folks have already paid and folks who haven't paid...

    Supercharger - San Diego, CA - Rio San Diego Dr (permit, 40 stalls)

    This is in Mission Valley, off of Friars road - in between the chargers at Fashion Valley mall and the soon to open ones at Costco further east. Looks like the parking lot of Living Spaces and Total Wine... Will be great to get 40 more in the area as the 58 nearby are often all being used (yes...

    Bought a "Unicorn" P100D - Roast me or encourage me? Also have some questions...

    You’ve done your research by using an expert to confirm its a unicorn. I think you’re in good shape. I would just have a professional chrome delete because honestly the difference is probably $1000, and to see an amateur chrome delete every day would drive me crazy. Please let us all know how...

    Bought a "Unicorn" P100D - Roast me or encourage me? Also have some questions...

    I have the exact same car (and also bought it from a small dealer 2 years ago who got it from a doctor... crazy to hear these stories)..the orginal sticker price was $167k Your battery and drive unit should still be under warranty as it has an 8 year unlimited warranty and the 2016 P100D's were...

    Supercharger - San Diego, CA - The Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch (permit, 12 V3 stalls)

    I believe construction has started on this site. It looks like a transformer pad has been newly installed (or is it for cabinets?). This is the parking lot in front of the Chase Bank and lines up with the address on record. Can place 12 stalls near this pad. Will keep an eye out for Tesla...

    Is buying a 2013 Tesla S Performance with 225,000 miles worth buying at $11,000 and the possible issues?

    you need to have an ability to work on the car without going to a Tesla service center. If you can address stuff like drive unit repair or replacement, battery issues, door handles, air suspension, infotainment cluster issues, emmc issues, etc.. on your own or a third party, it may be worth it...

    Supercharger - San Juan Capistrano, CA - Verdugo St (LIVE 29 Mar 2024, 12 V3 stalls)

    i noticed the same regarding the in-car map for this location. This happens occasionally and is due to human error (Tesla employee doesn't make the necessary change to show that a site is activated.) There was a site in Burbank (the one at Sprouts) that was open for 6 months before it showed...

    Buying a Carmax 2018 Model S P100D?

    yeah, it could happen. you're covered until 2026, but that's just 2 years. the 100 batteries seem to be doing pretty good. The other issue on the performance S's is failure of the rear (large) drive unit. If plopping down 20k for a battery or 6k for a drive unit is not something you could...

    Window tint headache on new 24 M3, Any advice?

    I hope you have done a credit card chargeback, placed reviews on yelp, and disclose the name of the shop here. You have been way too accommodating. You would be doing a public service by ensuring other innocent folks don't have the same experience.

    Need help on "Free Unlimited Supercharging for Life"...

    It’s not the auction that causes loss of FUSC. It’s that Tesla had taken ownership and then sent it to auction. Tesla has every right to modify the car when they take ownership - but not otherwise. I know for a fact that private party cars that go to auction and are bought by a dealer and...

    Free supercharging transfer - anyone do it?

    sounds like you found the issue, OP, and it is being addressed. Don't expect to ever receive reimbursement for supercharging you do now though, Tesla is awful with reimbursements
