Tesla Model S door handles officially, unequivocally, SUCK! This is the 3rd malfunctioning door handle in 4 months of ownership. I am losing my mind. Any advice?

History being made hear folks! Charging my GV60 on a Tesla Magic Dock Supercharger in Brewster NY. After a slow ramp up, I am seeing 97 kW at 74 SOC!

For the past 4 days, Tesla Mount Kisco in Westchester County NY has been going absolutely crazy delivering Model Y’s and 3’s to Uber/Lyft drivers that own NYC Taxi Limousine Commission Medallions because of a new TLC rule passed 5 days by Mayor Adams allowing and encouraging
The combination of EA’s network being so unreliable, coupled with the fact that a Tesla Magic Dock V3 only charges a Lucid Air at 50kW has me seriously contemplating cancelling my Lucid Air order.

Those that take the time to whine about tweets they don’t like by tweeting about them are the true drama queens. I am having Tesla fix this tomorrow under warranty. I consider 3 different door handles on my car going bad as tweet worthy. Cool if you don’t
My Model S Door Handle has been fixed! How? My car had to go to Tesla school to learn Genealogy; you can’t make this stuff up if you tried. Great job by the Tesla service team again. Just wish I didn’t have to keep meeting them!

When people tell me I am doing too much Tesla content, this is the reason. I will still cover CCS cars when I can, and I do love so many of them. But I am not owning one until this situation is resolved

1/6 units working here at FPL CCS in Yulee. Horrendous. An F150 lightning and Taycan both drove off angry. When an EV6 pulled in, I decided to unplug and move to the Supercharger 8 stall installation here out of courtesy. Sad situation for CCS drivers here

Huge News! Kathy and I are on a road trip up to Verona NY to check out the new Tesla Magic Dock Superchargers. On our way up, I am stopping in at every Supercharger on the way to see if I can find other installs. I just hit pay-dirt here in Brewster NY! Full road trip video

Yes they will. For the third time on this car. On Sunday as a matter of fact. In the meantime, can’t lock or drive the car safely
Great charging session at Tesla Superchargers here at Buc-ee’s in Florence SC. Good Brisket, friendly employees, no trucks, clean bathrooms and 15/16 V3’s up and running. Solid charging session. Highly recommend!

Just finished my 1,845 mile road trip from CO to CT in my 2022 Lucid Air Grand Touring. Summary? The car is amazing. Charging it is not good AT ALL. Let the editing begin…
Day 2 of the Road Trip from CT to FL in the Lucid. Once again the Signet EA station here in Bushnell is crap. Yo-Yo energy output results in a nasty session on a 350kW. No one else here. And for good reason. You are better off charging on a 110 wall socket ar home. This is
An idea… I am thinking about hosting an Out of Spec EV Road Cruise. Targeting Saturday, October 21st. We meet at Ridgeway Plaza in Stamford CT to charge up all our various Tesla and CCS cars to 85% SOC. We then drive approx 100 miles north into the CT fall foliage mountains,
A couple of nice milestones today. Happy Birthday to my awesome and beautiful wife Kathy. And thanks to all of you for 20K subscribers on OOS Dave today!
Pulled in at 1%; no battery preconditioning and 87 degrees F outside so battery pack toasty. As a result, only saw 228 kW max; typical taper at 22% down off the peak of 228 kW. At a Burger King with nice shady trees and an LED overhead light. I like these side pull in units,

on my trip back to CT from Marco Island FL with my pup Bailey in our 2023 Y Long Range with approx 4k miles on it. (Kathy flying home on Tues!) Nice pull through design here at this new V3 Tesla Supercharger. Pulled in at 2% SOC after a 6 second handshake connected
A viewer named Sean just emailed me the following that I think is hysterical…
My brother and I are now using "Kyle Conner" as a verb. As in “Well, the truck says I will get there with <15% and wants me to charge. Screw that, I'll just kyleconner it and get there with 2%"
Another amazing charging session here in Halifax NC. Pulled in at 2% SOC and quickly ramped up to 252 kW at 6 %. Fell off to 200kW at 19% SOC. At 61% SOC, pulled 95 kW. I remember this place being only a 12 station install. But they just installed 8 more V3’s which are up and

A viewer just told me he bought a pre-owned Lucid Air Grand Touring for under $95k. I thought I got a good deal a while back when I bought mine with 890 miles for $105k. If you are in the market for a Lucid, why would you ever buy a new Pure or Touring new when the used market
Lost my Lucid A/C compressor today here on the West Coast of Florida. Also lost preconditioning & heat as well. Previous owner had lost heat in the car as per prior service documentation and Lucid had to add coolant. Perhaps there is a slow leak? As a long shot, I called Lucid
1st charging stop of the trip back to CT from Florida in the Lucid at the Florida Mall was horrible. Ping pong roller coaster sessions, moved 3 times and spent over 1 hour to go from 2% to 69%. The only saving grace were the nice people I spoke with. Once again I keep finding
Buc-ees!!! Florence SC! Love this guy! Clean restrooms, great dog area, awesome beef brisket, garbage cans at the 16 station V3. And the charging worked flawlessly as usual 🎉

I just did the biggest dumb ass move of the day. So amateur of me! I used 10k referral points to get 3 months of FSD beta. But this model Y is an HW4 car! What do you think Tesla will do about it?

Tesla V2 Riverview FL Big Bend; worked as advertised. Charged up to 100% from 33% while having a relaxing lunch with our daughter Katie who drove over from Tampa for Father’s Day at Panera. 10 stations and not crowded. Charging session number 6 of 6 for our CT to FL road trip.
Tesla just offered me $52k for a GV60 that cost $75k w tax in 7/22. Then they offered me $51k for my 2021 Model S refresh. Recent Tesla price drops are having tsunami ripple effects on the value of all cars; The good old EV $ trade games are officially over
Today my $79,990 Model X base order got slightly pushed back from Nov 8 - Dec 21 to Nov 18 - Dec 23. Ordered 9/14. Any thoughts as to why many are experiencing similar to worse delays?
Ugly charging situation at EA in Trumble CT. Unit 1 150kW CHAdeMO / CCS unit completely down. Units 2 and 3 350kW units are broken and are software limited to 50kW. Only unit 4 150kW working as it should. 3/4 units are broken / down here
