How do I get my cruise control back in mu 2020 MSP? Simple question... M

No surprise that charging is taking MUCH longer in cold weather. News is is beating on Tesla about this. I checked around but did not find many facts. I am wondering if the reports are from folks who don't precondition their Tesla ? Found an example of a charge that was usually 30 mins being...

Obviously the question is replace 12V battery on 2020 Tesla MSP. Probably over kill unless it isn't. My middle name is Murphy :) So would you replace 4yr 12v battery on a 2020 MSP? Estimate is $242 here in NW Florida. Y/N Only !! M

Well I let Tesla's Mobile Service replace my charge port door. All works well but I noticed yesterday when washing the 2020 MSP that the plastic/rubber bumper has pulled out some. I pressed it in and it looked some better but after about 20 miles it worked back out. They removed the tail...

Have a 2020 MSP and when I went to drive yesterday and error is posted on the screen "Charge Port Door Open". So I looked and it was closed. So I pressed the center console charge port button which said closed but still said open I tried the Tesla wall charger and it would not open when I...

My 2020 Tesla MSP has now been in service for over 3 years. I only drive it 2500 miles a year but I would like to have the tires rotated and a good vehicle inspection. My question is what do I ask for in my Tesla App? Service Inspection? M

Well we stopped by the Tesla Superchargers in Crestview Florida like we normally do every other week. Plugged in to the same stall we usually get. MSP was totally prepped for the charging. Told my wife that this should be excellent because 7 of the 8 stalls were vacant. Then the one guy...

Ok making a decision in 2023. Either buying an extended warranty or selling the Mint 2020 MSP with only 6200 miles. I really like the car but have many to drive. Looked at Tesla extended warranty. Expensive. $5K Touch base with x-care. Much more reasonable. $3K Wife just bought a 4 yr...

I now have nearly 6K on my MSP and I am planning to rotate the tires. Have same wheels & tires front & rear. Here is what I plan to do checklist. Am I missing anything? 1- Park on level cement and chock wheels 2- Set suspension to high mode 3 - Set MSP in Jack Mode 4 - Put jack pad...

Need a little help here. Got a flat tire on our model S which is lucky in our garage. Did some homework and purchased a set of Tesla Jack Pads (pucks). So I scoped out the pad locations and got a low profile jack. I know to raise suspension all the way up and put the MSP in Jack mode. All...

Well I don't remember any updates in quite some time. Current version is 2022.12.3.30. We have FSD maybe that is the reason? Thoughts? M

Wondering if when selling a used Model S if the paid in full FSD helps on resell price? We have been entertaining the idea of selling our 2020 MSP with all options except 21" wheels (we have 19" gray slipstream wheels) with only 6K miles. We drive it infrequently and have other vehicles...

Is it possible to lock a Tesla so it WILL NOT update? Is it possible to lock a Demo FSD Tesla from updates? Thank you M

Well I guess it was going to happen eventually. I was getting ready to drive to store and my 2020 MSP said I had a service update. So I said go ahead and update. Well my phone app sent a message that the update had failed. So I said I would try again when I got back. Got in MSP and buckled...

For sale in the Destin Florida area is our 2020 Model S Performance with only 4380 miles. Midnight Silver with 19" Slipstream wheels. No issues, garage keep, non smoker. This MSP has FSD and unlimited SuperCharging. Unsure if USC can transfer but if buyer knows something I will do my best...

Well our 2020 MSP seems to not be getting any software updates. Been on 2021.36.8.10 for quite sometime now. Wondering if it is because we have a portrait screen? Or we have the beta ? Or what. I have tried rebooting vehicle serval times and wifi is 5 bars. App is the latest and...

Wondering if anyone else noticed the Beta hugging the left centerline. I often find myself knocking off FSD because I keep pulling vehicle to the right. Dash display shows obviously vehicle is more toward the left centerline. Also on 2 lane roads I get a pause (reduced speed) as vehicles...

FYI - I am sure everyone probably knows this but I was checking my iPhone app to see if I had "Sentry Live", which I do not, and selected "Security > Turn on Sentry Mode" in app. I did not have live view, but in 2 days not driving 2020 MSP the miles went from 315 to 279. Hell of a "Vampire...

Applied for FSD Beta. Driving like a Grandma is REALLY hard in our Raven. I do have questions about this entire process. 1. Can I let my wife drive for a safe driver score using her key FOB? 2. So when the FSD rolls out, those of us who bought that expressive upgrade don't get it because...

Did I miss something about updates using AutoPilot? I have been using AutoPilot for a while on my 2020 MSP when I run on 4 lanes. Today I went to engage AutoPilot and it stated AutoPilot only can be engaged 5mph over speed limit. This makes it useless as everyone drives 10-15 mph and it...

So last night at cocktail party I was hit with this crazy question. "Is your Model S one of the new Plaid models that have that drag strip mode that uses a launch mode that sees the green light on the tree and goes?" I said no mine is a Raven Model S Performance. Also I never of a launch mode...

Headlines - GM advising some Bolt EV owners to park 50 feet away from other cars in case of fire GM asks Chevy Bolt EV owners not to charge overnight or park inside after 2 more fires Crazy !! M Oops sorry. Already a thread. Not sure why it did not come up on search. Moderators please delete!

So I accidentally left key fob in car for 3 weeks. I was awaiting part at SC so I was not driving. I now get a low fob battery alert on display. Check wife's FOB and it still has 3.16v on tester. Check my FOB and it was at 2.83v. so apparently leaving FOB in car runs down the FOB battery...

My wife together with her sister made me a couple custom Tesla Accessories. Thought I would share. M

I thought I would pass along a option for members who do not like shiny or wet looking tires but want to protect and condition their vehicle tires. When I was a crew chief (AC-130s) in the military we used this product. I have found the product on Amazon call Rubber Care and tried it and it is...

So I need to get a repair done at Tesla SC. They gave me 2018 Model S 75D as a loaner. Made me appreciate my 2020 MSP SO MUCH. Somonee had the charge set to 100%. That was only 230 miles ! The ride was noticeably worst than mine even thou both had 19" wheels. m

Wondering if members can say why they chose the the Plaid + over Plaid? Not sure about performance gains if they can ever be realized on normal driving. The fact that the gain from 350 to 520 miles for the plus is really nice is it worth $30K more? The fact that it is 0-60mph in 2 secs on...

I have a Tesla Charger V3 on a 60amp breaker at home. There is now a Tesla SuperCharger near our home. I have free lifetime SC. My question is this. I usually get a ~1 mile drain on battery (vampire drain I think they call it) per day, if I don't leave my MSP plugged in. I noticed that...

Well I have had my 2020 MSP for a year now. Love it except one crazy thing. One thing has always bothered me is that when I accelerate or brake or let off go pedal there is a noise as if something is rolling down a channel. So I have taken apart the console and the removed the back seat and...

For some time now we have had an irritating noise in our center console. It sounds like an object rolls backward when accelerating and rolls back when braking or regen braking. We have taken EVERYTHING not bolted down out of the vehicle and the noise persist. I have also tested noise as it...

Well besides the tiny fonts issue I also have another issue with 2020.48.30 update. Now 3 of my games say " Waiting to Update...". Did not notice this with 2020.48.26. Thoughts? M

I have a 2020 Model S march build. Does it have boombox. I assume not as the latest toy box does not show the ap. M

We received a 1yr Tesla Premium data plan with our 2020 MSP. My question is can my hotspot WiFi phone provide our Tesla data while on the road. We have a good WiFi at our home which the Tesla connects to. The Tesla connection relies on LTE which we do not have good local towers at our...

Wondering how to erase the data entered for suspension height save at this location. Have a completely wrong setting I guess from fat fingers... M

I have always thought the the Tesla 'Gas Savings" has been a gimmick and wonder why they even subtract it when configure a car. I know I might save some money but was more concerned about emissions. The fact is that gas costs far less than $2.85 where we live. Like a $1.80 or less. Comparable...

Is there someway to use Bi-Level (front & floor) in Auto mode? The question might be moot because after 2020.36.11 I no longer have bi-level setting... :-( Now it is a single mode floor, front and defroster. M

I have read in several places that the Model S has a voice Command to open glove compartment. When I try it nothing happens. This would be a great feature especially with a pin number. Thank you M

Should I unplug the Tesla when a bad lightning storm is approaching? I did just in case. No mention in manual which seemed strange. M

I drove our MSP today and notice now that it tries to stop at traffic signs and lights even while only in Cruise Control. It has always done that on FSD, but never just cruise control. Can't seem to find any settings to correct. Am I loosing my mind? Ok don't answer that :-) M

Well I would like to say I have several scratches when I accepted my Tesla MSP with Midnight Silver paint, but after reading how bad Tesla is on quality of paint in forums I decided to ignore the scratches. Been getting over the imperfections for 5 months now. Diggin' thru my detailing...

Well this is totally weird. After the latest update anyone can unlock drivers door by pushing in on the handle. I even had my wife put FOBs in in a UL home safe 200ft away and still if you push handle on drivers door the car unlocks. Can't drive it thou, no fob found. What am i missing. A...

Ok. We went in for our second service a couple of weeks back to fix front camera. Well we decided to clean up the MSP earlier this week. Now I can say we NEVER eat in our vehicle. Wife has a phobia about that. So I heard a scream from my wife who was vacuuming out the interior and lord and...

I have seen many thread about Model S sound systems. I ordered a 2020 Model S Performance with every option but did not see a stereo upgrade. It seems after reviewing many threads that you use to be able to order a better stereo. Can someone please enlighten me? Thank you M

We drove about 50 miles out of our way to try a Supercharger. Hooked up easy and charge started at 131KW and ended at 31KW. Took about 40 mins. to go from 120miles to 310miles. The charging cord was rather warm. Wish we had one near our home. Does that sound correct that the KW decreases...

So I had my connector put in per instruction with the charger. 60 Amp breaker and 18 ft of 6 gauge copper wire. Well I started a charge at 60 amp setting on the Tesla wall adapter and 1 hour or two later I felt the 60amp circuit breaker and it was very warm. I later measured it and it stats...

I have an appointment on Weds in the service center 70 miles away. Not sure if I will have to leave it or not... Thank you M

Well Tesla pushed the new software 2020.12.5 to my new Model S performance. Now when I tried to use cruise control it says it has been disabled because I need a camera calibration. When I first got the vehicle it said calibrating cameras for quite a while before everything worked. My...

Ok had our new Model S Performance for less than a week. What in the world was Tesla thinking putting those useless cup holder under the siding center armrest. You cannot put your arm on the rest if there is a drink sticking up. Plus it is so far back you need to have some kind of moneys arms...

Can the Model S play video on screen when in park? I was hoping so because I was going to turn ours into a movie theatre with the great sound and display on our new Model S Performance. Grand kids would love it and much safer than going to the movie theatre in these trying times... M
