    Adhesive dripping from under the touchscreen

    I went to the local service center. I believe they just replaced the screen. It was about $1,000 or so. I was frustrated that they didn’t cover it since they clearly know it’s an issue. But at the same time, the screen is bigger than an ipad, so I rationalized that it wasn’t that bad. And not...

    Adhesive dripping from under the touchscreen

    This just started happening to my December 2013 Model S three days ago. Started in upper left hand corner, then yesterday was across the full top edge (see attached), and later that day I noticed that there was goo dripping from the bottom of the screen. Today no significant change on the...

    Supercharger - Benson, AZ

    Just in case Tesla IS monitoring TMC.....I concur thatSE Arizona needing a supercharger, and Benson would suit me just fine! ( have a client there....and take my ICE currently. And the sightseeing down there is great too, like has already been stated. We need the I-10 corridor to Houston...

    Dear Scottsdale AZ Model S owner

    As a way to communicate your personal charging situation, I've seen multiple versions of the following: EV Card | Plug In America And there is an app called supercharger QR, which allows people to contact you thru the app vs posting your cell phone publicly. I tried both, though personally find...

    Supercharger - Casa Grande, AZ

    I'm interested to know too. I'm supposed to go to Tucson on Tuesday and would like to use it. Or else I'll have to ICE it.

    Arizona HOV Lane Access opens up to PHEV's (Limited supply)

    I have a coworker with a Ford Fusion plug-in, and passed this along to her. She was able to get one within 10 minutes. Thanks for posting about this, and that they were still available. Great news!

    Arizona HOV Lane Access opens up to PHEV's (Limited supply)

    Well THAT explains it!!! I have been seeing Volts with the cloud plate, and have been confused - as I've been telling everyone that they don't qualify, since they have the small gas engine. I had not looked at them close enough to realize they have the hybrid sign on them. Interesting.....I...

    Major Hotel Chain supporting Tesla charging

    Problem with HPWCs is they only benefit those with dual chargers - which I frustratingly neglected to get. So, that only gets me 40A charging....which is better than most chargers....but still not at supercharger level. I am always amazed at the pics from Flagstaff being full. Although I...

    It's that time again - embarrassing loud AC compressor

    So, I don't know if it was because I replied to this thread last weekend, or because I had inquired about the AC noise a few months back - but I got a call on Tuesday from the local service center offering for me to bring the car the next day for the "acoustic blanket". I got it installed...

    so weird. here's a screen print of what I see. It must be the ipad. But oddly enough, other people's attachments can show both inline, or as attachments. So....that doesn't really make sense that the ipad could be doing that. I guess it just doesn't matter. But I hate not knowing stuff like...

    Temperature "hold" When Out of Car

    Living here in the desert with the two of you, I would totally appreciate an easy way to keep the A/C on while you go in somewhere quickly. Sometimes when I leave the car, I use the app to turn the AC back on - but I don't know how long it actually stays on, as I think its based on the temp in...

    what to use for 30 amp campground hookup?

    Here's a great resource for adapters, oddly enough, written by the previous poster! But I came across it on teslatap. http://cosmacelf.net/Home%20Made%20Adapters.pdf

    test. That's the button I"ve been using. 3rd from the right, or the 3rd icon in the right box. Still shows up as 'attached images'. Could it be because i'm on an ipad?

    It's that time again - embarrassing loud AC compressor

    When we started to heat up here in the desert a couple months ago, I immediately noticed the loud AC noise. I also felt a vibration through the floor, pedals, and steering wheel. I called the main Tesla number and asked if all of this was normal. They told me it does make noise, but that I...

    Remote app suddenly having problems connecting

    I have been having intermittent remote app connectivity problems. They seem much worse since my first 5.9 upgrade. Its more than just the sleep delay....it will sometimes just NOT connect at all, even upon several tries. I got another 5.9 this week, but haven't tried the remote app yet...

    Arizona Superchargers (location speculation, discussion)

    Oh trust me.....I'm with you on that!!! I'm very frustrated that the benefit of twin chargers wasn't explained to me (and I didn't do my own research) when I bought the car. They focused on how you didn't need the HPWC cause you can charge on 14-50 overnight just fine - which is completely...

    When I post pictures they show up in a box that says 'attachments'. I use the little picture icon that's next to the video icon. Some other people's show up within their thread. How do you post them that way?

    Firmware 5.11

    I still haven't gotten 5.11, but I did get an update to 5.9 earlier this week. I don't remember the release number prior to this update. But right now I have 1.51.101. The release notes were the same (as always), which definitely is frustrating. I sure wish they at least said - minor bug...

    Arizona Superchargers (location speculation, discussion)

    Does anyone have any info on 'when' in Casa Grande, or any other location between Tucson and Phoenix? This is really causing an issue for me, as I frequently make day trips to Tucson from Phoenix and haven't figured out how to do it in the Tesla. I don't have twin chargers, so can't really...

    AC Question

    I don't know the answer, but am also curious. I usually just leave mine on 'auto' and let it do its thing. But on a recent road trip to San Diego....I was wondering how to best manage the energy usage during my bouts of range anxiety (I did have 'range mode' on). The other day, I sat in the...

    If You Could Order Again, What Options Would You Get

    I am in Scottsdale too....and my biggest regret is not getting the dual chargers. It used to be packaged with the HPWC, and multiple Tesla reps told me I didn't need it. I agree, I didn't need the HPWC as 240v/40a is plenty for home. But....I have had multiple scenarios on the road when I...

    Supercharger - Gila Bend, AZ

    My Yuma to SD was a bit more nerve racking. I didn't totally top off, and wish I had. I left Yuma with 255 miles, arrived on Shelter Island with 37 miles left. On the flat part out of Yuma, I went around 70 (vs. the 80 I would have normally done), as I was worried about the hill. Going up...

    3M Crystalline on Panoramic Sunroof on Model S? Thoughts and Experiences Appreciated

    Tesla store told me that the roof already has 3M Crystalline on it - I don't know if that's true, but it definitely has something on it that rejects the heat. I got 3M on the sides, back, and windshield - and skipped the pano. No regrets.

    Pano roof in AZ

    My husband was very skeptical about me getting the pano roof for this exact concern. As a matter of fact, my first test drive was at night, and my husband insisted I go back and test drive again in the daylight. I did go ahead and get the pano roof - though I haven't been thru a summer yet, I...

    Regen vs. Coasting

    I have wondered that myself. But in addition, I have also wondered what the energy usage is measuring - kW per what? I assume kW per mile? But the math doesn't seem to really line up with my 'average' kWh, or with the averages in the Energy screen.

    Supercharger - Casa Grande, AZ

    Any news on the Phoenix-Tucson corridor? This is definitely the one missing link for us in AZ, and is also a downfall for many people that I'm trying to talk into a Tesla. For example....A coworker is talking of getting a new BMW 6-series sedan. I kept my 6-series convertible (which I...

    Dogs in a Model S??

    My 85 lb long hair german shepherd LOVES my MS. Its easier for her to get into than the X5, and with the seats down she can be closer to me than in the way back of the SUV. I have the following, which has nice adjustable 'loops' that can go over the front seat headrests, OR over the backseat...

    Do You Have a Smartphone?

    Where's the option for Blackberry? Yeah....I really do still have and use and like mine. Crazy, I know. But I think getting the MS may be what pushes me over the edge to have to get an iphone or Droid, since I doubt Tesla's working on a BB app right now. :rolleyes: I do have an ipad...
