I'm sorry, I haven't been following the various subtle Tesla upgrades but that recent announcement about the Model S getting 400 miles of EPA range certainly caught my eye. My wife saw it too and now she wants to trade in our 2018 Model X for a new one, on the assumption that some future...

Well often the text is perfectly recognized and displayed "Turn seat heater on", but nothing happens. And I find I have to hold the button down for a second or two after I finish speaking or it misses the last few words.

A month or so ago Tesla released an update which seemed to really fix the voice recognition system. For a few days we were turning on seat heaters and showing/hiding the backup cam like nobody's business. Then something happened. Now nothing works. It either recognizes the command, shows the...

Yikes, this is a pretty negative thread. These stories seem awful. My experience with the Tesla mobile service here in North Carolina was super. The tech was super knowledgeable and answered all kinds of questions I had. My previous service experience has been with Chevrolet (awful about...

I recently lost my Model X keyfob so I tried to research on-line what to do. One place I found said you needed to buy a keyfob, then have it programmed by Tesla ($160). So I bought a used one off eBay. Well that information was not correct. Yes, it needs to be programmed by Tesla, but the cost...

I wanted to follow up on my original Nov. 2018 post. I recently lost my keyfob and ordered a new one from Tesla. The Ranger was coming by to fix a taillight filled with water and he also brought the keyfob and programmed it. The programming process involves removing this cubby and accessing the...

The rear bench seat in the 5-seater version is fixed. It may tilt slightly (I can't recall), but it does not slide forward or back. Rear passengers have a ton of legroom. The bench seat is just average, comfort-wise. With the 6-seater version, remember you can't fold the middle row flat so cargo...

How is this chrome delete actually accomplished? Is it a wrap? I'm thinking if I ever get a Model Y I'll want the reverse, to make the door handles look chromed!

The Youtuber "Tesla Bjorn" did some expensive damage to his Model X by going down a rutted road in Norway. I think you're nuts to risk an expensive to buy & repair vehicle like this on an off-road adventure!

Where can we get this software?

Sorry, I don't get the "swimmer" reference. Is this something all parents know about? Please explain!

Yes, you have to be on level ground with nothing near the Falcon wing doors. If not, you get exactly the behavior you describe. But I haven't checked it on 16.2...

This has been a really helpful thread. This sounds like something that could happen to any of us at some point.

Wow, that qTesla Forecast website is neat. I've often wanted a quick weather radar view of my current location. Very slick.

We've exprienced the same thing twice now with 2019.8.3. My wife also reports that pressing Park while in the dark screen state washed the windows!
