LOL - well, I guess you're entitled to your cold feet comments. I think logically and less with emotions to base my decisions. I asked Tesla to make me whole - and left that completely up to them. My main concerns is that I used my truck....... as a truck. I went to remote locations non-stop...

Hey Mtnrunner, Mine was bought back months ago at full price a few months ago. I had one of the very first units in Ohio and I had several issues across the board, especially the front drive. For me, Tesla handled the entire process very well. Impressed enough that our next car will indeed...

Kind of take offense with this. I was another early adopter and paid in full on delivery. Totally wanted this truck 100% and expected to get 200k miles minimum. I experienced very similar issues as the OP and am going through a buy back process now. I don't want to shit on Tesla, but would am...

What do you mean that you returned it? Confused how you were able to do this?

I don't want to speak ill of the truck or Tesla. Hopefully you have a better resolution. Not sure how common this is, but for me, it's been several times now. Always the front and not the rear.

When asking for a buy back, is this done at the service center, on the 800 # or some other method? I keep getting "the front drive motor is disabled" msg. The front drive motor has been replaced already with multiple inverters. Keeps happening. Happened again just over a week ago when coming...

For those few members who have been successful with a lemon law trade in, how did you get around the arbitration clause in the order agreement? I wasn't aware of that when I got mine and it seems to be putting off lawyers in helping otherwise. I have an issue that has yet to be resolved. My...

Modified the setting to prefer the most amount of charges, which makes this look a little more doable. There are two stretches in orange with the max driving speed of 50 MPH (had planned on 50-55 already), but not sure if the above energy usage settings are valid with possible terrain and temps...

One more edit - pick up date is mid April, so the temps should be a little warmer. Not sure how well ABRP takes into account colder temps with range and towing.

Getting very nervous on this and debating if I should pay a shipper. I am looking on going from Sacramento, CA to Ohio. Could someone that has hauled a heavy trailer (5,000-5,500 roughly) give me some guidance? I'm not sure if the settings I have are valid - meaning, over estimating or under...

Basing this off of towing in a mountainous area with a new trailer and no history in such conditions with the truck. After several legs, would decrease reserve prob to 10%. I always like to error on the side of caution, but that's just me.

Hey 65SoYoLO, I did look a the Casitas too as we were looking for a fiberglass trailer specifically. Wifey wanted something on the larger side (that wasn't Oliver), so we got the bigfoot. Planning on doing 50-55 MPH to try and maximize distance between chargers. Total distance is 2,650...

Hey everyone, Thanks for the replies and suggestions. Greatly appreciated. Just trying to make sure I don't get stranded somewhere not near a charger. Attempting to reply to various posts below without spamming the group. I was trying various settings last night after posting with ABRP...

Is there a way via Tesla or a totally different app to specify a max range vs % of battery remaining to next charging location? I'm needing to drive from the North East (Ohio) to CA to pick up a travel trailer and come back. Decently concerned about range given I'll prob be going through the...

This is the way
