    Same here, so looks like no love for central Florida! Mine however goes to the North Tampa SC.

    Bloomington Illinois Service Center

    The big questions is when does it open? I hate the drive into Chicago for service!

    Help!?!?

    I too am finding I am getting no response from any Chicago based Tesla service center. I have left voice mails since that is where I keep getting to after waiting on hold. Nobody returns voicemails. Nobody even answers emails to [email protected]. Fortunately, I am just trying to schedule...

    Software Update 2018.39.6 8377b4d

    The date has now disappeared. Something I use a lot as a senior citizen who never knows what today is!

    Software Update 2018.39.6 8377b4d

    Did I miss something in the V9 update with split temp control? I only see the one at the bottom of the screen where there used to be a left and right temp control. I haven't had enough time to play with it to find out if the split temp control is somewhere else.

    OEM Looking Dashcam

    Yes, in Katakana which the Japanese use for foreign words. The other 3 are Kanji (Chinese characters) which literally mean 電 = electricity 池 = pond (an electricity pond is a battery) and 車 which can translated as kart, or in this case car. So Tesla battery car in Japanese. Native speakers would...

    OEM Looking Dashcam

    Did this ship from China? If so, did you have to pay import duty on it? The Amazon Topfit order page seems to change from time to time and now it shows this as coming from China. Thanks!

    Driving with 8.0 and the Placebo effect

    I agree completely. I was dismayed on a trip on I-80 that the car kept trying to take some of the exits! I thought this was over with. Guess not. When driving on other than interstates, I had to take control twice because the car was going off the road. In one case it apparently was following...

    Too close call with TACC

    I have my EZ pass transponder mounted the same way. If you look at my avatar, you can see the transponder on the top of the license plate. I have not had an issue with TACC so far. (I have had with AP, but so have others.)

    Supercharger — Peru, IL

    Drove out to confirm and yes it is working! Of course unless you post a picture it didn't happen! This is a drive in spot, so being lazy I used this one! Proof Hard to see the flashing green, but it is there. Sun is too bright to see it.

    Yes, my car shows it on Nav/Map.

    I'll make an effort to go there tomorrow (Thursday 6/23/16) and give it a try.

    I forgot about that. Maybe waiting for some kind of fence.

    Supercharger — Peru, IL

    I visited yesterday 6/18/16. Weird sort of ICEing already... (See photo!) Power is on in the distribution panel (gray box) as well as the transformer (reported earlier). There is a GFI outlet on the distribution panel and it is live. So everything is in place and literally waiting for the...

    Supercharger — Peru, IL

    As chance would have it, I had to go back to Peru, so I checked the transformer again, and power is on! Hard to see the meter is active in the picture. However, no power for the superchargers yet. Nothing running there. So we are still at either waiting for an inspection or waiting for the Tesla...

    Supercharger — Peru, IL

    I will make an effort to look again on this coming weekend (6/18) to see if it is moving along. Will post if there is more progress (or not).

    Using Homelink

    Mine works like yours currently works. If I open it from in the car to leave, it doesn't close automatically. If I open it from the wall and leave, then it will close automatically. It has been really consistent about this.

    Supercharger — Peru, IL

    I was encouraged by Subhuman's pictures, so I visited to see if the Supercharger was active. Well not yet. There is no power on. There are no charging cables on any of the charging stands (see picture, nothing there). Also there are posts in the ground waiting for signage (left side of picture)...

    What Autopilot (AP) 1.0 Issues do you Experience?

    I drive a lot of 2 lane roads. I have tried AP a number of times on these roads. Mostly (98%) it is fine. However twice it has crossed the center line into oncoming traffic! Unless the 2 lane road is very well marked, I don't even try to use AP any more on 2 lane roads. On Interstates, I have...

    Don't count on it! I saw it on Saturday 6/4/16, still working on it. Was rushed, so didn't take pictures.

    Vendor Energi - App for Tesla

    Just bought it and installed it. When first logging in, it says my car is charging (Green dot below plug icon? and says charging). It is not. Also, the car is set to charge at a specific time (midnight!). Maybe this is confusing things? Also on location screen, North is at the bottom of the...

    Supercharger — Peru, IL

    I was by the Hy-Vee market today (Mother's Day) and no signs of any construction. I drove around the parking lot... Nothing!

    Chicago or Detroit Xpel Installers

    You could also try Midwest Autobahnd. They are in Chicago. They just did my Model S and came out to my house to do it. I had the complete front end done. Ross is the contact.

    Firmware 7.1

    I am not seeing improved behavior using 2.17.37. Of course I am not driving Interstates, but Illinois farm roads (which sometimes are poorly marked).

    Has anyone gotten the USB to work with a thumb drive and M4A?

    I am playing .flac files which are lossless on Model S using a thumb drive (aka USB stick). Not sure how important lossless is to you vs. M4A, but flac seems to work well for me.

    New Buyers Beware / Negative repair process

    I did the same. I have 2 ICE vehicles, both 2005. Diesel truck and a Lexus. Since we live far from the service facility, I decided to keep the Lexus "just in case" I had issues with the Model S. So far, the Model S has a small list of things that need looking after, but nothing that I can't...

    Strange network behavior... car incessantly attacking my nameserver

    Now I know why I have been having the connectivity issues on my network. I also reported it to Tesla a number of months back and I got the standard message about giving the problem to the local SC. Rather than jump through hoops playing with my DNS, I just banned the car's MAC address from my...

    Pre-Paid Service Plan for CPO Tesla

    Answering the OP's question, I was just told that you cannot purchase prepaid service plans for a CPO Tesla. Here is the quote: "Unfortunately, the prepaid service plans are only available to the original owner of the vehicle, and not available to the subsequent owners, where purchased as a...

    Supercharger - Champaign, IL

    I live near the to be built Peru supercharger. Even if I stop in Normal I am really NOT comfortable going to the Indy supercharger from there. So I don't! I drive my ICE vehicle instead. I have had the Tesla D about a year now and don't run the battery down anywhere close to empty. 200 miles is...

    Supercharger - Champaign, IL

    I really could use the Champaign supercharger! I can't drive I-74 without it to Indy. I have to go around I-80 (where I live) to I-65 to Indy. Way out of the way. Hope it is coming soon!

    Please check my math (cost of charging)

    Your electrician must not be very creative. Mine had to convert a meter base to a sub-panel. Was a ground/neutral issue that had to be sorted out. I have a KWH meter that shows total power used for the life of the Tesla! This is just before we got the Model S, so the meter is zero!

    About to join the club! Best protection?

    pedriscoll I have a question??!! Based on your visit to Ziebart, I am going to do the same. When I asked them for a full front including the whole hood, they said they can only do a partial for the hood! Were you able to get all of your hood covered or just part? (If full, I may have to drive to...

    Brake pedal clunk

    You would think by now this would be fixed! My 85D does this exact same thing. Sounds like some kind of bumper is missing.

    Improved Trunk lighting - Is there demand?

    I just did this upgrade minutes ago. You will find the wire for the right light almost behind the cutout for the light. The left light wire is harder to find and is just below the charging socket! As others have said don't be charging your car while digging around in there! Once you know where...

    Thanks! I will give this a try. **Update** Found them! They were zip tied to the cable and very hard to see. Needed a mirror to see them.

    Improved Trunk lighting - Is there demand?

    Found all of the connectors in the trunk. Will be no problems there. Rear foot wells have no light and no bracket. 2015 model, no premium lighting. I don't see the connector under the seat either, but most likely looking in the wrong place. For your instructions, if you could tell us...

    Improved Trunk lighting - Is there demand?

    I have no lights in the plastic trunk trim, just the one dim (worthless) light in the hatch. Has anybody taken the trunk plastic trim off? I am guessing it is the trim that is on the trunk loading lip. I don't want to screw things up, so I could use some advice on what to do! TIA (Already...

    Tesla moments

    It seems bad habits are hard to break. I have been driving for 55 years. Yesterday I picked up my 85D. I was a bit nervous driving it for the first 5 miles. Every time we had to stop at a traffic light I thought OMG the engine died! Umm well, there is no engine, a bad ICE habit from so many...

    5000 Miles In - The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

    OK, now I am nervous about potholes! What damage was done to your car?? I pick my CPO 85D up tomorrow morning and the roads around here are not that great.
