I had a "Replace MCU Touchscreen Panel" done 9/2019 due to the glue leakage issue-- would this replace this faulty chip or does mine still need to be recalled?

Are the fans the constant high pitched humming noise? My s85 has been doing that for at least several weeks when charged to 90%- at least when it is plugged in and in the garage. I changed my daily SOC to 60% and I no longer hear the buzz.

From the wiki calculation my battery capacity is 74162 aka 74 KW. Not as bad as I feared but still annoying. Hopefully stabilized now time will tell.

Ok this was my recent road trip to Katy & back which wasn't a problem with max charge. From my napkin math if 52.7 KW used results in 18% capacity remaining that means I have roughly 62.18 KW storage available in my 85 kw battery correct? So roughly 28% loss? And yes I know that even new the...

Mine was limited in the summer, improved for a bit, and recently was slapped down again. Pretty typical for S85 from the 2014 time frame seems like.

I finished morning clinic early so I went home and plugged in. It stalled out at 98% then dropped to 97% but no change in max range looks like. I took my Boxster to the meeting so I will have range tonight but this situation is very frustrating and the lack of information from Tesla is...

Ugh I really need this done with the recent battery capping my car is suffering from. This would make the Aggieland - Katy round trip a breeze. It is getting to be a stretch over the last 6 weeks with my range dropping from 255 to 244 due to software limitations.

Oh I also just installed the new update so will let you guys know. This is like the 3rd or 4th update in a month.

This is my dash yesterday with pretty severe limitations worse than I have ever seen. You can see it is a "cold" 50 degrees in Texas and even after driving > 10 miles @ 75 mph it has my regen and max limited. Just awful. I charged to max today and reads 245 (new 265- a month ago 255). This may...

Ug I guess I have to actually make a Twitter account, I've been avoiding it for years.

Ok with the most recent update my previously recovered range is gone again (March 2014 S85). My max charge seems to be around 247 when original was 265 and most recent recovery was 257ish. Also when max charging there is a constant electric buzzing/humming in the garage.

I got a new screen due to bubbles the same day V10 downloaded but it seems much sharper and quicker. Web browser works well and loads full web pages. I am really enjoying the spotify as I have never really messed with it and like all the features and playlists to explore. No movie stuff but it...

Mine is getting the new screen in a few days, $1400 out of warranty with roamer. I have ceramic UV absorbing tint and have had overheat protection on from whenever it was added. Annoying. Seems like it should be a service bulletin as common as it seems to be on 2012-2015 cars.

I actually logged into my dormant Spotify account and made some playlists just in case Tesla blesses my "old" car with this update. If nothing else I can use it with my android auto radio in my 2008 Boxster.

Yes. However that feature wasn't added to the vehicle until it was a few years old. Let me see if google knows when. Nope cannot find exactly when it was added but I know it was not present for at least two years (2014-2016). My bubbles appeared rather suddenly while parked in the garage...

Yes

No. I have ceramic tint installed in the first week- still got bubbles @ 86k.

This suddenly happened to me and the bubbles are pretty dang large. Screen works fine. I scheduled a roamer to come out on 10/3 to look and quote. It is hot in Texas but I have temp control on and UV blocking tint. Very annoying :(

I think I think this is exactly what has happened. It is summer here in Texas and sure it is running a smidge over 100 most days but my cooling system has been running very loudly when charging in the garage much more so than the last 4 years. I think they adjusted the charge rate and...

My silver Model S turned into a black Model 3 according to this app with the latest firmware update from Tesla. Anyone else? Firmware version is 2019.28.3.1 f9e95acd

It blows my mind that Tesla thinks they can just cut off range and hope we don't notice. How hard would it be for them to just send out a service bulletin being honest and saying why they are doing it? I am really disappointed with their lack of transparency and poor communication.

250s for me. Would vary from 250-255

I full charged mine for grins with the 2019.28.2 firmware and it shows 254 rated miles. 265ish new, 235ish two weeks ago when we went to go see Queen in Houston. My opinion is that Tesla briefly limited some of the cells with the 85 battery while figuring out the fire issue and has since...

My supercharging has been just fine with rates showing 250 + miles/hr when battery charge is under 30%.

Very true. I really won't know until my next round trip to Houston and back (190ish miles) and see how it burns down the power over the trip. My next planned trip down there isn't until October for Greta Van Fleet concert.

I wanted to add that I was pushed a software update last night. Version is 2019.28.2 320Fba0. I didn't think anything of it until reading this thread. The car is plugged in now (took the Boxster today) and the recent 215-219 90% charge is now showing 228 rated mile range. They must have...

I haven't been on the forums in a while but I'm effected by this as well. My S85 was delivered 3/2014 and the 90% suddenly dropped from 230-235 to 210-215 in the last two months. I figured it was just battery aging but it was pretty sudden and surprising after 85,000 miles in the car. This...

I'm out a Pebble Creek so that is a bit out of my normal stomping grounds but I have an activity at the A&M HSC next Wednesday so I'll stop by and check it out.

Dang good idea I may try this next slow weekend I have!

I have no side in this great tire debate but if you plan to keep your S for a while get mileage prorated tires. I'm on my 4th set now at 85,000 miles and they rarely get half of the advertised miles. I guess I'm a bit heavy on the go pedal! This time I'm getting $110 credit per tire back...

No updates that I'm aware of at this time. Hopefully well be in place prior to next football season.

Done and shared on Facebook thanks for letting us know. Ridiculous bill.

Dang I wish College Station did net metering. I have solar and the city buys my excess at whole sale. So I sell it to them for about 5.5 and have to buy it back at 12. Annoying but the city is the only option at the moment here.

26 is insanely expensive. Unless you are always gone during the day and turn your AC temp to 85 or so I would not get that plan. I pay 12 around the clock in College Station and even that is high for Texas. In Houston with shopping around you can usually get around 7. I don't know the El Paso...

That is actually a good locations. Walking paths and multiple restaurants in the area.

Any update at the end of the work day?

I entered my data and I think I'll just gamble and pay per repair. It came out to nearly $7000 for the 4 year warranty for me. Now if I had it about a year ago when I had to get my rear half axles replaced it may have worked! My car is almost 5 years old/80K miles now and I'm hoping to keep it...

Nope nothing yet. The SC on 290 has helped me though since I make a drive down to Pearland area now and then and that would be impossible for me without the SC.

Ok just got through this thread and I suggest OP try to get the Tesla spy tool and scan the battery modules. That is a small cost & hassle but would be helpful in pushing Tesla to replace the battery. On the other hand I agree with others that it is likely this pack will fail in the next six...

You may not know the answer but do you think just taking them off and resealing that gasket will fix the leak? I know you purchased a new unit due to the LED Light being dead but I believe all of mine still work so I'm considering just taking it apart and flushing out the bugs/water and...

This is an issue with mine as well including bugs getting into the tail-light. Cost is $1000 EACH to replace. I just live with it.

True. I can say specifically for A&M when I lived out of town about 4 years ago there was always an open spot in the garages. The parking attendants would redirect me to the bottom floor spot when I drove up. Now that I am local I decline and park up high so the people who actually need a L2...

Perfect timing! I am going from College Station to Huntsville then to my brother's home in Richmond for Christmas Eve .we would have to take my wifes diesal BMW if this charger wasn't up. Yahoo!

I'm looking forward to this as well mostly to go and grab some "free" juice after making the trip to Houston & back haha. There is also a good charger by the Saltgrass in south College Station on Hwy 6. Two spots in the hotel next to Saltgrass Tesla only chargers. Not sure if 40 or 80 as I...

I have a moto z3 play and with the Motovoice app it reads me texts in my Model S and I can dictate a response. It basically calls me and it shows up as a call in the model S. Pretty awesome actually I love it.

I have a 2014 and those are ultrasonic parking sensors. There are no cameras up there so as long as you are not covering the little round sensors it will not effect any vehicle function.

Enjoy the road I still love driving mine every day!

I upgraded my cell from Galaxy S7 active to Moto z3 this weekend. One of the Moto apps is "Moto Voice" which will read text to you while driving. I figured I would give it a try and I was stunned with how well it works when bluetoothed into my Model S. When I receive a text it basically starts...

I found them to be slightly louder than the Pirelli's but still not really noticeable for me.

I've replaced tires twice now. First with the Pirelli p7's and they were quiet and smooth but the traction was HORRIBLE. It really slowed the acceleration due to traction control firing. It was much worse on wet but even on dry pavement it was annoying. I drive a rear wheel drive so it may work...
