Maybe I’m just lucky, but I’ve owned two Model X vehicles and a new Cyberbeast. So, I am both a former X and current X owner, as well as owning my CB FS. None have ever had any half shaft issues. All were purchased new. My 2018 MX P100D was sold when it had 65,000 miles on it, my 2023 MXP...
But, if you buy Michelins at Costco, they provide a less expensive option, come with free rotations for life, are nitrogen filled, and include a no-cost road hazard tire warranty. And that will help with what you experienced. One final plus: buy them in DE and pay no sales tax. They even had a...
I just drove up the NJ TPKE from the DE bridge (Exit 1) up to Rt 287 (Exit 10). There was at least one existing Tesla SC still operating in Hamilton, just before Exit 7 for 295. Weird that they chose to keep this one open. I had already exited and got back on, earlier to charge off the TPKE...
Well I can tell you my first Tesla, an MS 60, purchased in 2014, had free lifetime SC. I sold it last year, after driving it for 10 years. It had 227,000 miles on it, and I never paid a cent to charge it. And, I never heard anything from anyone about too much usage. But that is just my...
I actually back all the way in. Until my rear tires hit the curb stop. The rear of the Beast is way past the Pedestal, but the charge port is almost exactly in line with its cable.
Of course, there are a few sites where the pedestals are not quite spaced far enough apart to fit between. On...
Also, just “any” compressor might not be able to get the tires pumped up to the 50 PSI required. At least, not if you are in a hurry. And, if you need to fill two tires, well, pack a lunch!
Well, I am a pre end of May Beast owner (having had delivery of my Beast on May 9), but since we are in a Condo, Tesla told me that wasn’t gonna happen, so they gave me 1-year of free Supercharging on my Beast. Then, later(months later), they sent me a letter with $1100 store credit. It does...
I always ask to try to get a loaner also, but today, none were available. Anyway, they had a tire, so it wasn’t needed anyhow.
Regardless, I also own a new MX Plaid so I don’t need one as a loaner.
I guess what the real point is, I am not complaining about Tesla or the 3rd party tow...
In all honesty, my attorney had told me that he made money on every Tesla he ever purchased, by reselling them after only a few days. I figured I did not have time for such nonsense, but when he told me he made more than he normally makes as a high powered attorney, I thought (and he readily...
I am well aware that they use 3rd parties. And, yes, I too have used their in-house mobile tech service, and it was fantastic!
Today was just an ongoing comedy of errors. I did not want to look like a whiner, so I spared you the details.
But, the 1st tow company initially said to could take up...
Well, as it turns out, there is a good ending to this story.
The tow truck finally arrived. We made it to TW and they did in fact have a correct sized tire!
They are installing and balancing it as I write this. And best of all, my hotel reservation was not canceled when I did not show up as...
Thank you all for the positive comments. First of all, I had my own auto repair garage, so I own many tools (including a compressor and its attachments). I have driven many hundreds of thousands miles on many different vehicles and can count the times I had a flat on one hand.
Second, I use...
I got a flat at 8:00 AM today. I am STILL waiting for. tow truck (it is now 1:00 PM).
I have been very patient, and Tesla has been completely transparent in their multiple calls and texts with me. The only thing is, every text is to notify me that the tow is again delayed…4 times so far.
I have...
I had mt beast in for the recall. Mind you, I did not have any issues with either the wiper, or motor, or sails being loose, or flying off.
When completed, the sails are still secure, but now the wiper moves at will, on its own. I wish I had not brought it in for the recall.
Hopefully it will...
