My S is almost ten years old, and they are still making the car... which is awesome.

So are your CV joint vendors and tire vendors. Definitely get the staggered 21 wheels so the tire warranty is limited to 8000 miles! It great to get new tires every year so they are fresh. (S) Mileage Warranty Conditions and Limitations DOT-Approved Competition Tires DOT-approved competition...

I work in the NADA building in NOVA, you should see the long faces that get on the elevators from the dealers everyday. Quote today: Guy 1" How is business?" Guy 2 "We are setting new records that we have never seen before" Guy 1 "Really?" Guy 2 "Our new record, we haven't had a month this...

https://www.pirelli.com/tyres/tr-tr/otomobil/teknoloji/elect Very happy with these on my 3rd Model S. https://www.pirelli.com/tires/en-us/car/tech-and-knowledge/elect

I pretty sure Bosal would approve, here is Bosal's 3 bike carrier system mounted on a Bosal hitch. 60kg maximum load or 132 lbs. the carrier weighs 21 kg or 46 lbs , I think Bosal would give you a thumbs up. 178 lbs total if I am reading this right...

This isn't a Tesla only thing... I had the same issue with my Miata, I had several thousand dollars in racing related suspension and exhausts replacing stock components so I could track the car, after everything was installed it had this crazy knocking sound coming from under the car for...

I believe the limitation on the S and X is due to the air suspension and or wheels/tires. The wheels are already carrying a heavy load, especially the crappy 21s on the S and the 22's on the X and also lack a significant amount of rubber between the wheel and road, adding weight just makes this...

What tires do you have Summer or All Season? Performance comes with Summer and LR comes with All Seasons. Never had any issues in a the 5 Teslas our family has owned since 2012. Get rid of any wheels larger than 19 on the S, 3 & Y and go all season. Very happy with the Pirelli P ZERO™ ALL...

Looks like some kinda of anti sway bar retaining bracket... is it cracked? or just loose? It's definitely loose, there is a nut higher up on the frame that was absolutely not torqued down... how did you fix it? Do you off road with your X? How many miles do you have on your X?

That's what I purchased after one overpriced Eco-hitch. I never removed the receiver ever, so by the 3rd S, we went with the 1 1/4 inch static setup Reese or Draw-Tite, I can't remember on the 2016. Which I have not overloaded as it is only a Class 1 hitch. I think ECO was a Class 2 hitch.

I hope this isn't true, because it has legal liabilities for the employees involved, as well as the vendors, but this is the best way to fix insubordination/corruption.

Open Market,,,, you know what I meant. Also the freaking competitive advantaged ended the day Tesla opened the network up to all their competition. The challenge at the moment for selling cars is the FED and these ridiculous interest rates. Also reduction in sales in China due to BYD product...

Others are stepping into market to pickup the burden of building out the network, using Tesla's product, which means Tesla doesn't need to be the sole bill payer to do the initial install construction of the network. Let the private sector carry the burden of the construction of the network...

You are a genius. I would pay for that.

I would be more worried about the load of roof design on that carport, with the pressure on the center beam, good thing you don't get snow in LA..

Lightly ride your brakes and see if goes away, it could be brake pads dragging on the rotors at certain angles of turns, if it goes away with slight brake pressure that is what it is... I call it the "rusty rotor scrub".

I'm in the same boat, I been everywhere in our S's DC to Toronto, DC to Orlando, DC to Key West, DC to Nashville, I want the largest freaking battery I can get for both the range and the faster charging speeds. We kept our FUSC on my wife's X, which gets about 330 Miles the way she drives. The...

That's the tail lights, I have the headlights in my car.. they are awesome. It took me a couple hours to install them, but I did a bunch of other stuff when I had the front fascia off the metal bumper. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/8123936/

I have personally gone way over the hitch rating carrying four electric bikes on 3 separate Model S's equipped with aftermarket 2 inch receivers, no issues whatsoever. (I did pull the batteries to reduce some weight, but I was about 200 lbs over with the 4 up bike rack included. One of my...

I want stalks too, I actually prefer to drive my sons Y over my wife's X, for this exact reason... USS, MEH, only really matters to me on a X, don't see a lot of benefits in the S..

Probably, do they still make those? Imagine a Model S with a CT battery in it 123 kWh in a S might get close to 500 miles of range or damn close to it, I would buy that for $80K...

I think there is some rule about 3 rows of seating. qualifies as an SUV... It's all BS, the domestic car lobby was trying to screw Tesla out of the incentive program and they changed pricing and the product to align with the government incentives. I should be much easier, if the car gets 120...

Increase its GVWR to 6000 lbs, and call it the Model Suv and they could sell it as an SUV, it would meet the IRS requirement for an SUV which requires a GVWR over 6000 lbs)... done.. add some extra batteries to increase the weight too. The eligibility for tax incentives, such as the Section...

Too late now , but you could have paid half that much for far superior headlights if you had gotten these. Vendor - New Refresh Headlights & Taillights for Tesla Model S 2012-2020 | T Sportline x Alpharex collab NOVA Headlights and Pro Series Taillights

I know, no one else will say this, good job Elon, I know this was a tough decision of many you make everyday. Keep up the cost cutting and you will survive, this next year is going to suck. Between us; I would move the Fremont factory too, but not to Austin, I would move it East (SC,TN, or...

One of main reasons we picked a Y over another X was the stalks. I still can’t get used to it in my wife’s X.

Was that written by a 12 year old? Felt like I was reading some AI garbage.

I would still get the Model S, time tested, and improved year over year. I have owned 3 of them and they are the best fit for my lifestyle. I have a separate track car, so don't need a nimble little car for the weekend. They are superior in range, sound system, suspension, charging speed, noise...

Silicone Rescue Tape works better for coolant leaks, hell use both... JB then wrap it with Rescue Tape until you get the new part. Get red or orange colored tape so you can find it after the temp repair. Had something similar when I was deployed it works.. https://a.co/d/dEaLa5D

Yes get it, its not my money, you might want to lease if you flip Teslas every 3 years..

I didn't write that, it's a direct lift from the article I posted from AutoEvolution source document I linked to. All Model Y's are eligible for the $7500 if your income is within the range, and even if you make over the income range if you lease you get the full $7500 credit anyway, its just...

Try this link Vehicle Comparison Selector – TeslaTap, or check out the attachment. The RWDY has LFP Chinese batteries from BYD @ $56 per KW and the YLR has NCA Telsa/Panasonic Batteries.

One exists and the other doesn't. Easy choice, there is only one....

Here is a direct comparison of LRY and RWDY https://teslatap.com/tesla-vehicle-comparison/

The truth is we were fortunate, no one was hurt, and all these issues are really first world problems, but I paid for Dom Pérignon and they delivered Guatemalan MAD DOG 2020.

I have 3 Tesla's S, X, Y, with a CT on order on the same account, so yes you can.

To your point re: housing construction, I just dealt with the crappiest home restoration contractor in my life, I had to go around with blue painters tape to show them simple things like - electric socket upside down. electric socket not working, tile that didnt match, missing trim pieces...

Are they providing them to ISIS, cause I haven't seen any on the road here on the East Coast.

https://teslamend.com/ https://dixonsautomotive.com/make-Tesla-repair.html

We gave up looking at used and got a new LRY for the exact reasons you stated, the stereo and the range reduction in the RWY totally devalued the whole car. I would never buy a used Tesla from Tesla, go direct to a current owner, you will always get a better deal, especially if you are as...

Just make sure you get Matrix headlights if you go the used route. The old LED Headlights were freaking horrible.

When I get a 50% discount from USAA for FSD, I will balance that against the monthly subscription costs vs my insurance costs then jump. I figure by 2050 when I have cataracts, a diaper, and drive 40 MPH in the fast lane, I will get FSD to help me get to my VA appointments. I might pay $2K for...

One call and you think they are desperate? Freaking Hyundai has me on some automated AI text messenger that has hit me 42 times just because I called them about a car, they had none in stock at the lease deal I wanted $249 down and $249 a month for a IONIQ 6.... I can't get the damn thing to...

What year is it?

Ditto, this thing is a beast Northwood | Arctic Fox Fifth Wheels

I haven't driven one yet, I did a drive by on the local Ford dealership, but they are such scumbags, I don't want to give them the business. I would like to drive one, just to see if I can go from a S to a F. I love the price point and the ability to use existing aftermarket toys, and with...
