Tesla Model S first service

Wow, I brought my Model S in for service last month. They upgraded the firmware, replaced a pano roof track which had a very slight rip in it, and ran diagnostics on the car.

The Palo Alto service center gave me a P85+ for a loaner. This was the high performance model before the P85D was released. The 85+ is a very fast car. The two times I stomped on it “just to see” I went from surprised, to shocked, to oh crap I’ll get a ticket in this thing. I was quite happy to get back in my 60.

Service kept my car overnight because the glue/sealer for the pano channel had to setup. There was no problem with the car, they replaced the windshield wipers, the charcoal filter, went over the car, and there was no charge for service (it is pre-paid for 4 years up-front). I have had nothing done to the car for the past year: no tune ups, no oil changes, nothing. Just plug it in overnight and go. It has over 13K miles on it.

The car is wonderful to drive and will most likely continue to be maintenance free for a decade.
