    AC blowing hot air on a hot day

    Update: had the car in for service and will pick it up tomorrow. Unfortunately, they weren’t able to duplicate the issue, so it looks like I’ll have to schedule another visit and go for a ride with the tech.

    AC blowing hot air on a hot day

    This problem started Saturday, after updating to 2022.24.8. Car was built in early March and a reboot didn’t solve it. On a warm summer day, in the low 80s, the AC started blowing warm air. After a few minutes, just before it became unbearable, it blew cold and then after a few more minutes...

    How to attach front license plate to new Model S - and general support question

    Hi. I want to attach the front license plate to my new Model S but I don’t see any screws for it. Did it come with them, or do I need to order them? I did not see them in the Tesla store online. More generally, where does one go for support? The Tesla forum seems to be read only now. I know...

    Gravelly sound when driving at low speeds?

    Just got my new MSLR, and it’s fantastic. One oddity I’ve noticed: when pulling up to a drive-thru window - driver‘s window down and a building next to me to reflect the sound - I hear what sounds gravel rolling around in the tires. Anyone else experience this?

    Anyone else having trouble paying from Fidelity in Tesla app?

    That may be it. I can write checks from this account and they don’t charge me a fee, but maybe they charge Tesla?

    Anyone else having trouble paying from Fidelity in Tesla app?

    Good news: my car is here and I’m supposed to pick it up tomorrow, Sunday. Bad news: endless technical difficulties transferring funds. When I bought my current Tesla, it allowed me to pull funds from multiple accounts. Support said that’s no longer possible. So I transferred the money to one...

    My 2020 MSLR - Photos and Initial Thoughts

    Congratulations! I like seeing those tempest wheels uncovered. I plan on doing the same with mine when it gets here in a couple of months. How is the ride smoothness compared to your raven? And can you tell a difference between the suspension settings?

    Possible issue with classic cruise control

    I've noticed an anomaly with my classic cruise control and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced it. If I'm making a gradual transition to a lower speed zone, I'll reduce speed in a number of steps. For example, if I have it set to 75mph and I'm working my way down gradually, I'll press...

    Firmware 6.0

    A cleaner look is good, but I do kinda miss the bit of bling around the speedometer. But I'm sure in Version xx they'll offer a choice of a few different styles just to keep more people happy. I do appreciate that it's easier to finesse the brakes and come to a smoother stop now. And the hill...

    Lost power (resolved: accidentally put car in neutral)

    To those who suggested it was the car in neutral, you get a good star. Tesla folks confirmed it from the logs. I have no recollection of touching the gear selector, but there ya go. And thanks to Tesla service for looking into it on a Sunday and responding so quickly!

    I called Tesla Service and they opened a case.

    Lost power (resolved: accidentally put car in neutral)

    So I was driving on the freeway cruising around 70. I was using cruise control and adjusting the speed every now & then, when I noticed my speed started drifting lower. I tapped the cruise control stalk up and nothing happened. Pressed the accelerator and nothing happened. I was just coasting...

    Loud motor sound when running the AC

    +1. It was in the 90s last week here in Southern Cal and I also heard the buzzing/droning sound accompanied by some vibration in the steering wheel. If they have a fix for it, that's awesome.

    Reboot Frequency?

    I got the Bluetooth not functioning properly error this morning and did a screen reboot to fix it.

    Not seeing percentage on charge limit slider

    Hi, When moving the slider to adjust the charge limit, I'm not seeing a percentage. I thought the actual number popped up when I got the new car walk through, but if don't see it now. What am I missing? Thank you

    Got it!

    Picked up my car on Thursday and you know the rest -- I love it. It's an amazing feeling to actually have it after all the waiting. And kudos to the Costa Mesa team for a great job prepping the car. Now off to enjoy it!

    Security Concern about DocuSign

    I just got my final paperwork from Tesla and read the details of DocuSign. It says that if you agree, Tesla will send all future documents through DocuSign to your e-mail address. It says you can change your e-mail address at any time, which is good. But then it says that all you need to do to...

    For those who got the obeche yacht floor, how do you like it? Is it prone to scratches? Thanks!

    Opinions On Order

    I have a question about the twin chargers. You only benefit from them if you're on an 80 amp circuit, right? How common are those out on the road?

    14 hours to delivery...

    Sharp car, congrats! I'm terribly envious because I still have a month to wait. We're there any issues with your car?

    Tried to look at Model S prior to delivery but---

    That at was my thought as well. The good news is that if it's something they can fix by Monday, then it's relatively minor. And then again, maybe they just want you to see it after it's been detailed, as others are saying.

    EV Credit & Revocable Living Trust

    Hi, Does anyone here have a revocable living trust, and if so have you titled you car in the trust name? Does that have any impact on the EV tax credit? Bonus points if you live in California and also got the state EV rebate. I just want to make sure that registering the car in the name of the...

    What is Sunset Red?

    Hi, I've seen a reference in a few places to Sunset Red. I only know of Signature and Multi Coat reds. Did the Sunset come before MC? I've seen some Model S's on the road in a red that looked different, but I thought maybe it was just the MC red when it was dirty and not looking as bright. Was...

    Smart Air Suspension VS Coil over Spring

    I just drove the two back to back I had the opportunity yesterday to drive two S60’s on 19” wheels, one with air suspension and one on coils. The one with air had Michelin Primacies and the one on coils had Goodyear Eagle RS-As, so it wasn’t 100% apples to apples. But reports on tirerack.com...

    For those with small garages -- do you back in?

    I have a one car garage with about a 91" opening, so I'll have just over a couple of inches on each side of the mirrors before folding. I saw some others here mention that their cars are a tight fit. I back my current car in easily but it's a G35 and about 9" narrower than the Model S. So do you...

    Has Anyone's Model S Auto Insurance Gone Up Significantly?

    I have a 2008 G35 and just called State Farm for a preliminary quote on an S85. My six month premium will increase from 358 to 562. That's a fair sized percentage increase, but still seems reasonable to me.

    Tesla wants to replace my drive unit - 900 miles on car

    Anybody know the cost of this if not coverer by warranty? Glad to hear that they solved the problem. Edmunds also had the drive unit replaced in their long term car. Does anyone know how much this would cost if it happens after the warranty is up?

    Newbie Question: Air Suspension vs Standard

    Thank you for all your replies Thank you, everyone, for the info. Based on what I'm hearing and since I don't have a steep driveway to contend with, I'll go with the standard suspension. I plan to keep the car over 5 years, so the simplicity of that is appealing.

    Newbie Question: Air Suspension vs Standard

    I had my first test drive in a Model S last Saturday and I loved it! Never thought I'd consider spending this much on a car, but for this I would. The one I drove was a loaded P85+ with air suspension and 21's. I'm going for the 19's for the smoother, quieter ride, lower cost, greater range...
