As far as I know, Tesla doesn't rely on the Bluetooth connection for album artwork. Instead, it downloads it through it's own service based on the song name, which ends up screwing it up most of the time. Also, Tesla pushed another update to me a couple days ago: 2020.20.1 I'll let you guys...

It seems to be fixed for me in 2020.16.2.1!!!

Give it some time, it may take up to a day for the issue to crop up again.

Thanks for the workaround!!!!

I was able to get Tesla to confirm this is a known issue and is planned to be fixed in a future firmware update. Let's hope it's soon...I've been struggling with this since October 2019.

I'm on the latest April update in my 2013 Model S and this is still an issue. I'm really upset with Tesla on this one...just fix the damn Bluetooth drivers already. This is the most annoying bug I have ever dealt with in my Tesla. It's been an issue since October 2019.

The most recent update in my dad's Model 3 links his phone Bluetooth volume to the car volume. The Model S gen 1 MCU appears to have a broken implementation of this.

OK I was mistaken. It appears that it was only fixed after a fresh install (similar to how it works for a little bit after a reset of the center diaplay). My Model S still exhibits the same problem

Good news! This issue is fixed for me in v10.2 2020.4.1 4a4ad401858f! I got texting support, too!

I have a 2013 Model S, and ever since the December Update I have had an issue with my Google Pixel 3a XL Bluetooth volume jumping from 100% down to almost zero, then up to around 60%. This happens for EVERY song change. My car volume does not control my phone Bluetooth volume, nor has it ever...

The trunk latch failed for the first time in my 2013 Model S with power lift gate this morning when I was trying to leave for work :( I tied it down with rope inside. It just doesn't latch when I shut it! Hopefully there is a new part that lasts longer...

Yeah I know. I just try not to make it obvious ;) I think it's illegal in MA, too.

Depending on speed there are some cases where it is more efficient to coast down hill rather than convert that kinetic energy to chemical energy. Plus, sometimes it's just fun to coast because the car rolls so well and it's aero is so slippery.

I usually press the accelerator just enough to prevent the car from going into full regen, then I press the gear selector into D.

I believe this is because he said he was only going 10 mph. There may be a threshold for requiring the brakes to be pressed. He should repeat the test at or over 25 mph to see if the situation changes.

I put the S into neutral frequently when coasting down hill.

I usually hate people who pull their profession as an excuse, but I'm a driving instructor and would rate you poorly for doing that. The car is functioning as intended. However, it is difficult for me to know exactly how close to the line you are getting. If you aren't crossing the line, then...

You really should use this as an indication of you driving improperly instead of the car doing something wrong. Please keep everyone on the road safe and stay in your lane...Yes, even on tight corners.

It should be the front two seats only. I think I was wrong about the price, but there is no way for me to be sure. The second comment on this thread claims he got it done, but he doesn't list price. Retrofits and Upgrades to the Model S | Tesla Wk057 did an upgrade from original leather to...

Yes you can, but it is costly. On the order of $2500 or so because you have to order the new textile seats. I am looking into other options of getting heated memory seats on my 2013 as well.

200A at 410V should be 82 kW peak...makes sense for their 72 kw goal.

That looks awesome! Thanks!

Any pictures of the new superchargers at the Prudential center in Boston?

I'd be interested in attending. Although I do not drive a Model S....yet. :(

Very interested in the Android app...

Range charge was about 198 miles. Depending on degradation and battery age it could be less. I don't remember how long it takes for it to get to 100% at a supercharger, more than an hour I suspect. The 60 kwh cars charge at a slower rate than the 85's. I would recommend driving on lower...

I think the S does have the interference, as seen in this video: Tesla Model S motor induction sound through AM radio - YouTube

I did this exact trip from Boston to Austin two years ago. Yes, this is way before there were superchargers between Georgia and Texas. Our Model S 60 performed great. We managed to supercharge through Macon, GA. After that was a bit more painful because only 30 Amp chargers at Nissan...

Our Model S 60 has a hair over 50,000 miles on it. At a standard charge (~90%?) it shows about 175 miles rated range.

I spoke with a Tesla sales guy today in Massachusetts. He said the last shipment of cars had a Model X or two on it. They were all headed to New England (CT I think?). He also confirmed to me that there is at least one Model X in New England already.

Even when I was 18, I am 21 now, I was able to walk into a Tesla Store and ask for a test drive. They took a picture of my license and brought me to the car to drive. I drove an 85 this way during the Get Amped tour of Beta Model S', I drove a P85 this way, and I also drove a P85D recently...

In my experience it is illegal to leave snow on the roof of your car while you drive. I have been pulled over for this. Therefore, you should be cleaning the snow off before you go anywhere.

I actually did this trip in reverse in a Model S 60 in the spring of 2014. Before the Macon, GA supercharger was open! Boston to Georgia was a breeze, then Nissan dealerships and a campground were used to charge between Macon and Austin. We managed to complete the trip one way in just over 3...

The Torklift Hidden Ecohitch that we have on our Model S has a removable receiver. It sticks out the bottom of the bumper like a normal Hitch (not recessed under the car like you describe). When the receiver is removed there are no protrusions from inside the bumper. See the link: Torklift...

I would be ecstatic to be a +1 at the event! :) I may purchase one once I get my bachelors in EE and have a full time job.

My dad went from a 1983 Mercedes Benz 300D Turbo Diesel (Ran on Waste Vegetable Oil) that he got for $3000 to a Model S in 2013. First brand new car he ever bought.

I'm not entirely sure. My mom bumped a curb in the front right of the bumper...they ended up replacing the radiator for some ungodly reason, but while they were at it apparently updated the system to a newer rev? I'm sure the AC system in a brand new model s isn't exactly the same as one off...

2013 Model S 60, Early VIN P04761 This is an early 2013 Tesla Model S 60, VIN P04761. Odometer: 45,225 Miles Driven lightly and efficiently by older gentleman. Average energy usage at 270 Wh/Mile. Specs: -Trailer Hitch installed by a Tesla Service Center (Torklift EcoHitch). This is a...

We fit a full size spare into my dad's S60, but that's without the front motor.

Let's be clear here, any battery pack option, 60, 70, 85 can be put into any other model s. They are all the same size, and people have done the upgrade from a 60 to 85 kwh before. The software should be different though, to limit power based on battery.

Yes, that is what he said...

You guys may find it interesting that my dad replaced a 1983 Mercedes Benz 300D Turbo Diesel that ran on waste vegetable oil that he purchased for 3000 dollars. His Model S60 was the first new car he ever purchased.

You aren't losing electrons...the electrons simply transfer from anode to cathode. The car will weigh exactly the same at either charge state. If it didn't then the car wouldn't truly be zero emissions now would it?

I find that if you turn off the Dolby Setting it helps with this significantly. Also, fun fact, if you bluetooth a tablet or phone, etc... and watch a movie on it, the car will actually work with full surround sound. I did this on a long trip from Boston to Austin while sleeping in the back...

The Model S actually uses a sealed lead acid 12 Volt 35 Amp hour battery. This is the exact battery that large jump packs use. I work at Batteries Plus and deal with these all the time. Enough to jump small trucks. Just not my 1983 Mercedes Diesel :)

Our early 2013 production charged at 24 amps on 120v by changing resistances across ground and sense on the standard 120 socket.

My dad was doing some experimenting with the UMC to discover how it determines which adapter is plugged into it. The goal was to get 24 amps from a 120V source without buying the proper adapter from the Tesla store. It turns out that the two communication pins (shown in the picture below) have...

Oh, Ok. I was browsing early this morning and completely forgot that it was the morning of the 14, not late at night on the 14. Oops!

I am in Marlton, NJ at the moment and the Edison SC would be great for trips in my 60 from Boston. Any word on the meeting results?
