    Anyone else having "Loading Error" with Slacker

    I've never experienced this error until a couple updates ago. Now it's happening very often.

    Auto Air Suspension Raising can be annoying

    With the recent update has anyone figured out how to disable auto-raising suspension? Thanks.

    Temp Control now goes from 81 to HI - no 82, 83, 84, etc.

    I'm not saying that I want the car to be exactly 84 degrees Fahrenheit, what I'm saying is that at the 81 setting the car will start to settle into a temperature that is too cold at times for what I want, and if I set it to HI, even at a very low fan setting, the hottest possible air is still...

    Temp Control now goes from 81 to HI - no 82, 83, 84, etc.

    At the 81 setting, the car will blow cooler air, at the same fan setting, than at 84. It is not a placebo effect, and it's not that the car is generating more or less heat to blow, it's that the car starts blowing cooler, unwarmed (or cooled) air (i.e. kinda like turning on the cold water tap...

    Temp Control now goes from 81 to HI - no 82, 83, 84, etc.

    Yes, that is exactly what I want, but can no longer do. Now I have to set it to HI to achieve the same thing, and I can no longer back off the temp as gradually as the cabin warms up. But that's the thing, I don't want a stronger blast of cooler (e.g. 81) temperature, I want a lower blast of...

    Auto Air Suspension Raising can be annoying

    Was there ever a solution for this (i.e. to disable this feature completely, or prevent it from constantly re-adding a location)? This has become tremendously annoying, distracting, and potentially dangerous. Thanks.

    Temp Control now goes from 81 to HI - no 82, 83, 84, etc.

    Is it just me, or does anyone else find this very annoying? Now that the weather is turning cold, I like to set my temp to 84-86 to warm up and stay warm and then gradually reduce the temp. But with the 8.0 update, I now only have the choice of 81 or HI. HI is too hot and 81 is too cold...

    Firmware 8.0 - Disable control bar fades under Nav?

    I too would very much like to see a toggle, or the ability to disable this.

    Tesla 8.0 Autopilot experience Poll

    AP 8.0 is definitely smoother in terms of acceleration, deceleration and reaction times to changes in speed, but it is vastly worse, and more dangerous, than 7.1 in terms of lane-keeping and auto-steer. I have used it 6 times since it came out and every time I've had to take over to avoid a...

    8.0 Lost or Degraded Capabilities

    AutoPilot is definitely more dangerous in 8.0 than it was in 7.1. I have had several close-calls where if I had not taking over, I would have veered off the road, into another vehicle, or slammed into the back of a slow-moving vehicle in my lane in front of me. AP is definitely smoother in...

    Losing 3G Connection, While Parked, Once a Day

    Thanks! I was using the built-in forum search here, but will use Google from now on; it worked much better. Don't know why I didn't think of that. Appreciate it!

    USB Media Drive No Longer Recognized

    Hi folks, I tried to search for other threads on this, but the forums will not allow me to search for the term "USB" as it claims the term is too short. I'm not exactly sure how long ago this started, but I recently realized that my car will no longer allow me to use the USB stick that has...

    Losing 3G Connection, While Parked, Once a Day

    Hi folks, I tried to search for other threads on this, but it will not allow me to search for "3G" (saying the search term is too short). For the last couple months I've been losing my 3G connection pretty much every day while parked at work, or in my home garage. In other words, every day I...

    The Rear Thump Sound

    I just started experiencing this (significant thump in the rear that feels like something heavy dropping into the trunk) recently. Was there any consensus as to what it is? Rear Drive Unit issue? I have service scheduled for May 27 but I'm wondering if I should push this up. Thanks!

    Close Call (4% charge remaining) and Lesson Learned

    I suppose it's possible, but Smart Preconditioning was, and still is disabled. If the AC was turned on, I didn't turn it on. My cell phone was in my backpack the entire meeting. The app was not open when I left the meeting, and again, the car was 112 degrees when I returned to it, so if AC...

    Close Call (4% charge remaining) and Lesson Learned

    If it was the climate control fan last night why did it come on only after I put the car in park, and why would it be much louder than the climate fan noise I've heard before? I wasn't using climate control (or at least not above fan speed 1) during the drive home last night; I had the windows...

    Close Call (4% charge remaining) and Lesson Learned

    I'm pretty sure I wasn't parked on a vent. Range mode was on. I specifically did not turn on AC / climate from the app, as I wanted to conserve charge. Also, as an additional anecdotal bit of info, when I pulled in and parked in my garage last night I heard the battery fan come on after I...

    Close Call (4% charge remaining) and Lesson Learned

    I understand your point, but I've heard the battery fan before at Super Chargers, and my recollection from the other day was that the fan sound was the same. It sounds different than if the car interior is being warmed or cooled from the app. I don't recall any other such incidents. Thanks.

    Close Call (4% charge remaining) and Lesson Learned

    Yes, the fan was on and audible as I approached the car. I had woken up the car with the app, but had not set any climate changes. As I said before, I did not pre-condition. If the cooler wasn't responsible, what do you attribute the fan sound, or the depletion of charge, to?

    Close Call (4% charge remaining) and Lesson Learned

    The battery fan was on when I got back to my car, so yes, I'm pretty sure that's what it was. I disabled the "smart" preconditioning thing several months ago. No new update was installed. There was pretty much zero wind, and even then, when I parked the car the estimate was 16%, and when I...

    Close Call (4% charge remaining) and Lesson Learned

    The other day I had a business trip in Vancouver, BC, and I drove up in my P85D from Woodinville, WA (near Seattle). I've done this trip a few times before so I didn't think much about it or have any real range anxiety. What I do is charge to full overnight, drive up to Vancouver in the...

    Wiki Model 3 Reveal Event Coverage (3/31/16) 8:30PM PST - Discussion/Pictures/Video

    My initial take on the lack of an instrument panel in front of the driver was that a heads-up-display projector is at least an option, if not standard.

    Source button gone! - 7.1 update

    I miss this feature as well and can't understand why it was removed. Why do we now have to reconfigure / dual-purpose the scroll wheel, requiring many additional steps, just to do something that was available, and easier, before, if there is no justifiable reason it was removed?

    Speed Assist Warnings Missing Since v7?

    Is anyone able to see any warnings when you exceed the relative or absolute speed settings for Speed Assist since upgrading to v7? I still see the speed sign, but not a warning that I'm exceeding the speed limit I've set. Thanks.

    Heat / HVAC on 7.0 - poor performance?

    HVAC (heat at least) seems to be much less effective, and less efficient in terms of battery usage, for me, than it was pre-v7.

    Firmware 7.0

    Mine was done at the service center. I can confirm temp and time are now permanently displayed at the bottom of the driver's instrument panel. This update still hasn't fixed the missing Speed Alert warning that disappeared with the onset of v7.

    Homelink very flaky

    Does anyone have any insight into ways to improve my Homelink signal? A couple months ago it became very flaky: sometimes it opens / closes the garage door immediately, and from farther away; sometimes I sit right in front of the garage door and have to press the button 5 or 6 times (with 3-5...

    P85D Front Motor Died

    Here is my promised follow-up after picking up my car after having the rear drive unit replaced. As I mentioned, they put in a new drive unit and the issue is gone (for now) and the car drives nicely. I appreciate my service center agreeing to put in a new (versus remanufactured) drive unit...

    Bluetooth Phone Echo

    I had my car in for other service and I mentioned this issue. It turns out that the issue was caused by one of the mics in the car being misaligned. They re-aligned the mic and the issue is now gone.

    P85D Front Motor Died

    I spoke with the service manager and they have ordered a new rear drive unit, and the car will likely be returned to me on Monday. This unit is supposedly what's being put into cars currently on the assembly line, and some form of update was done to those since my car was assembled. My concern...

    P85D Front Motor Died

    I'm the OP on this thread, and I just got an update from Tesla service. It turns out that the failure was in the rear drive unit's sensor, and that the car reacted by shutting down the front drive unit. Tesla said they are replacing the rear drive unit with a used, remanufactured unit as...

    Bluetooth Phone Echo

    Over Bluetooth, during "hands-free" phone calls over the car's mic / speakers, on my iPhone 6 / P85D, the other person can always hear themselves. This is 100% of the time. Does anyone know what's going on here? Phone and car are on the latest updates, and I've tried forgetting the BT...

    P85D Front Motor Died

    I felt some stuttering yesterday as the car regen braked. Then another stutter and red lights flashed with service warnings about the front motor. I had no power and drifted to the side of the road. I had to get out of the car for it to shut off and then restart, but the front engine came...

    IRS refused my tax credit

    I just got a notice from the IRS that they denied my $7,500 tax credit from form 8936 for my Tesla purchased in 2014. I had an accountant review it before submitting and everything looks fine. Any idea what's up or what I should do? I tried calling the IRS but they're closed on the weekend...

    Crackling sound (due to electrical interference?)

    Unfortunately due to the compression from my phone when I emailed the video to myself, and from the compression on the YouTube upload, the crackling is far less obvious than the original, and of course the experience in the car itself. Please turn the volume up or listen with headphones and let...

    Firmware 6.1

    Totally non-scientific, and certainly not enough data to make any real judgment, but here are my last two drives to work in the morning. The red line is yesterday's commute into work (which I accidentally drew too far, in that it includes some of my drive home yesterday as well), and the green...

    Collision avoidance in 6.1, do not get any warning...

It wanted me to go on side...
