Perhaps this is car specific. I just had an update this morning and my left headlight is on yet again.

I received the invite today. I'm not interested in paying $20k for the Foundation series. The way they are pitching the Range Extender is off-putting as well. The 500 mile range was a key reason I was interested in the vehicle.

Well, it didn't take quite an hour, but just like you, the light has gone off. Weird!

Waiting on a call back from Tesla now. Apparently it's an approximate 48 minute wait. I'm hoping my 12V battery doesn't end up dying.

2017 Model S

I just updated software to 2022.12.3.16 and walked out to the garage afterwards and my left headlight is on. I tried turning off the lights, a soft reboot, and a hard reboot, and the light remains on. Any ideas? I guess I can try to navigate my way through Tesla's automated phone system, but...

I've had my Model S since March 2017 and have been very happy with the car. There are occasional idiosyncrasies with software updates that cause me a little consternation, but overall I'm a happy customer.

My muting issue has disappeared since an update about a week ago.

I can't say I understand the mindset of all future Roadster buyers, but I will likely keep mine until I die. Now, how soon I die after getting the Roadster is unfortunately not up to me, but I'm hoping it's at least a decade plus.

No, it mutes. When I try to turn up the volume with the left scroll wheel it shows 1 momentarily then bumps back down to mute. It sometimes happens in the middle of a song. The only fix is a reboot. Happened today on a very short drive. Very annoying.

Well that sucks. Mine hasn't yellowed in three months but I wasnt driving very much until our current road trip. Will have to keep an eye on it.

I recently upgraded to FSD/HW3 and autopilot is definitely more touchy on corners. The car also wants to hug the left side of the lane more than I like. Phantom braking has definitely increased. Hopefully it can all be fixed with software.

After the infotainment upgrade I'm having an issue where the music app mutes on its own and the volume won't go up without a reboot. Happens fairly frequently. On the road right now so don't have time for a service visit. Anybody else seen this?

The strip was going! Extremely crowded, no social distancing at all, about half the crowd with no masks. Thankfully we were only there to charge.

Charged here today. No more gate code or time limits. I couldn't tell which chargers were supposed to be 250kw as there was no signage. We did get 130kw. Not the easiest to get in and out of since it's right off the strip.

Why not? My S and 3 are both mostly wrapped in clear Xpel Ultimate to avoid rock chips and potential light scratches. A wrap is a great way to get the color you want and I protect the finish.

Bear in mind that you can always get the car wrapped in pretty much any color you want, and it's way cheaper than $50k.

Another solution is to drive backwards.

The infotainment upgrade replaces the screen. I had mine done last week and no more yellow border! We'll see how long that lasts.

I'd rather wait a bit and let them get the kinks out.

I'm thinking 2023 at the earliest. Glad I didn't plunk down a wad of cash. I'm losing interest as well.....the longer this takes the less interested I become. Might just keep the Model S. Nice way to kill my interest in throwing $200+k at you Elon.

I'm surprised nobody has posted here about Musk's recent comments on the Joe Rogan podcast. Elon stated that the Roadster would be waiting behind the Model Y and the Cyber Truck. That's at least 2 years from now!

I think he's trying to point out that he's Captain Obvious.

Wait a week or two. Things go the other direction just as quickly. Tesla doesn't pay a dividend, so unless you are day trading, fluctuations mean nothing. It's really only about when you buy, and when you sell.

I just can't imagine putting down ANYTHING without a release date in the next 6 months. I have been making 20% annually if not better!

Sorry OP, but welcome to my Ignore list.

Mine is not yet for sale, but I figured $60k is the best I'm going to do, and mine has most of the options available in March 2017, including FSD. I also spent $5k on Xpel Ultimate and Cquartz Finest, but I'm aware those are sunken costs I'm not likely to get a return on. I'm waiting for...

It's in my garage. I'm not allowed to drive it or show it to anybody. It's pure torture.

Lotus Green with white interior. Be still my beating heart!

Retired. I highly recommend it.

Bragging rights. People have paid a lot more than $50k for that.

Base, and if you are truly concerned about resale value, the Roadster is likely not the best choice.

Does the current Roadster have a back seat to recline into?

I pretty much always go for blue. I'd like to see a brighter blue than the current offering.

Same with me. Maybe 5 miles.

I charge to 100% before long trips. I've done this maybe a dozen times in nearly 3 years. I bought the long range battery for a reason....to shorten charge time on long trips. I'm going to use it when practical.

With that much damage I would want it to be totalled. Time for a new car!

As long as you bring excellent Pinot, you are pretty much welcome anywhere.

Toasting some souped up "compensating for something" ICE truck will make that 0-60 very worthwhile.

I didn't add it, but I have about 3 years to change my mind.

I think Ford paid somebody at the factory to put in alternative glass so the test would fail during the live show. I heard it from a friend who knows the uncle of a guy who works for a Ford contractor that frequents Fremont.

I'm putting a huge Toyota badge on the back, and blacking out the last 3 letters. Should add some confusion.

I'm more worried about the windows. I see hoodlums running around with large steel ball bearings trying to duplicate the reveal.

The best idea is to put in two charging ports, front bumper and rear taillight, to cover most charging scenarios.

Delorean Stainless for me is perfect!

That's what SHE said.

Body shaming to prove a point. Nicely done!

If you are taking up 3 stalls and inconveniencing others, yes.

Although you will need to be a bigger asshat than this guy to haul a trailer.
