    Autopilot tries to exit at every right lane exit opportunity (SoCal)

    I experience the same thing when driving on freeways with mine in Autopilot, from what I can see it seems that the camera is tracking the right side lane marker and when you approach a off ramp the line usually follows the off ramp lane leaving a gap on the freeway. The camera then seems to be...

    Is the Premium Audio Worth the upgrade?

    I have the Premium Audio in my D and both the Bass and Treble sound way better then in a 85 loaner with no Premium. When I turned the volume up the sound on the non premium was just not as nice overall and it was not just bass.

    Firmware 6.2

    After the .188 update my P85D is stating a "more insane" insane mode with a drop in the Zero to 60 from 3.4 seconds to 3.3 seconds, a more responsive accelerator pedal (??) and a high speed passing update supporting up to 155 mph. Guess this is important for all of the race track drivers...

    Is my mirror auto-tilt working properly?

    I thought mine was broken. Completed the programming as per the previous posts and it works better then any other car I have driven with this feature. I tilted and angled the mirrors so that I can see the tires/rims and the curb. Hopefully no rim scuffs with this awesome adjustability!

    Firmware 6.2

    My car is parked in my Garage and I just received a notice to upgrade. It states the upgrade will take 2.5 hours to complete. Would be cool if we are getting the promised Self Driving features finally. Will post back after the update unless someone else does first.

    P85D wiper blades

    I purchased the ICONS and so far they seem to be much better then the stock Bosch wipers. Comparing them side to side the ICONS are made with hard plastic on the arm part of the wiper and excerpt much more downward force onto the windshield. I am driving from Oakville to Blue Mountain this...

    P85D wiper blades

    This is Pathetic that after paying $150k for this car that we are forced to go out and pay for wipers that should be supplied by Tesla. Really??

    P85D wiper blades

    My P85D wipers just are not cutting it. I drove with my family on a long road trip yesterday through very messy (salty wet slush) roads and my wipers leave a constant smudge that obscures the driver and passenger windshield views on the upper left (drivers side), middle (towards the passenger)...

    Smart Preconditioning

    Rather then "Smart Preconditioning", it should be a "Scheduled Pre-conditioning" that would allow us to set specific times that it would pre-condition. I have found the smart pre-conditioning to not be so smart and have turned it off as it kept starting at times that really were not a valid trend.

    Rumor: P85D firmware update to increase 0-60 performance to 2.8s

    I posted this question in another thread... I was told by the Toronto Service Centre that there is NOT a "torque sleep" update coming for the P85D's, only the launch speed increase update. I just looked at the Blog on the Tesla site and can no longer find where JB said this range increasing...

    P85D efficiency up after 6.1

    If anyone knows different from a valid source at Tesla, can you let me know if there is an expected "Motor Sleep Mode" or something like that coming from Tesla for our P85D's per the blog update on the Tesla site? I spoke this week to Jay at the Toronto, Canada Service Centre and was told that...

    Urge Tesla to provide an option for enhanced Frunk lid

    + 63,041 (I am certain that every owner before me has had some concern with the closing procedure of the Frunk) I agree that having to think about and be concerned with closing a front hood on a car is pathetic for any car. We have a marvel of engineering in our $100k+++ Model S's, but have a...

    Next-gen REAR seats no longer available for new orders, please post feedback on yours

    Elon Musk tweets software upgrade will increase P85D range

    I have 6.1 installed on my P85D and the Release Notes do not mention anything to do with improvements to Range. I am planning on a longer road trip this weekend and will compare the Wh/mile after to see if there are "un-announced" changes improving the range.

    Adaptive Cruise Control (experience post FW v6.1)

    Did you try adjusting the distance allowed between your car and the car being tracked? It is done with the dial on the end of the Cruise Stalk. You can set the distance from 1 to 7 with 7 being the furthest distance.

    Eastern Canada Superchargers

    I visited a Tim Hortons location today with Chargepoint Chargers and although I have Dual Chargers I was only getting 14Km/hour with a 30Amp connection. Is this working properly as it would take a long time to charge at this rate?

    Tesla Model S Stop Sensor Error

    I just ran an errand with my P85D and per the following picture, the right parking distance sensor went off when I was stopped at a traffic light with no other cars next to me on my right. The car was clean and the weather was clear. This is annoying, does anyone know when this is targeted to...

    Accidentally bumped the stalk and put it in neutral-no power to pedal

    @ Woland I experienced the same thing with mine, but realized that I had put the car in Neutral without thinking about it when trying to engage the wipers. In fact even though I now know the wipers are on the left, I keep doing it from memory driving my Wife's ICE/Hybrid.

    Parking sensors - P85D/ AP hardware equipped cars

    Same for me, every time when entering garage plus random times when in turning lanes etc. These side sensors should be disabled at low speeds of adjusted based on what the front sensors are picking up.

    Lifetime Average Wh/mi

    @ Johan I see something different in your photo of your dash in that you have "Typical Range" which we do not have in North America. we have "Rated" and "Ideal". Which of these does the Typical match up with or is it a different measurement?

    Tesla Model S Stop Sensor Error

    Is the Premium Interior the same quality on P85D's and single motor 85's

    Can someone who has a single motor 85 that was built in December 2014 with the premium interior comment on the fit and finish? Looking at picking up a single motor 85 and am hoping that the fit and finish quality that I see in my P85D is the same in the newly built single motor 85's?

    Charging Reduction rather Quickly??

    @ themacs You can change whether the car measures distance in "Ideal Miles" or "Rated Miles" under "Settings/Measurements and Units". Ideal is pretty much useless IMHO, I have mine set to Rated.
