Yes. Bought an inventory 3 recently and was nervous. Would it have been a demo or was it rejected due to major imperfections? No. Only differences with ordering were reduced price and I could pick up right away. Went so well I’m doing it again this week!

Agreed. For free supercharging is more psychological than financial benefit since I only use it a few trips a year at most.

Tempted to trade in my MS. Pieces are coming together: Price about same as what I paid years ago Transfer of FSD (which I remember buying for approx. $2500 for but would never pay for now but wouldn’t mind having mainly out of FOMO Cons are the car has been wonderful and problem free...

I've read through this entire very helpful thread and am still exactly 50/50 on ordering a refreshed MS LR vs MY + approx. $35k savings :D

Has anyone in LA/OC had their yellow screen borders fixed via the UV tool? If so which service center location? Thanks.

Yes you’re right. Thanks!

10.2 we had a very brief relationship! I installed 10.2 yesterday, did not drive the car and now just installed v11.

I also switched from a S6. Both cars feel special in their own way but I feel your pain on the Tesla service.

I've tried scheduling a mobile service fix for yellow screen twice now, each time they cancel and set a service center appt. That's fine. However the first time SC told me they would put me on "the list" for when the tool came by. Nothing came of that. This time received a text from SC saying...

Sadly they will not install on my wood shake roof. FWIW response time was very fast on a weekend.

While this CYA stuff may work in short term, long term there will be no brand loyalty when they need it.

Great to hear it. Enjoy that beautiful car!

For me I don’t think free unlimited supercharging is indicated on the app but I do see it under “Supercharging Status” when I log into mytesla account. I assume it doesn’t say that there for you? I think it’s a shame that the lack of organization and accurate info often causes time wasting and...

I don’t see a “yellow screen” thread dominating Model X or Model 3 forums. Is this a Model S only issue?

For those that are affected, the way Tesla is approaching this is destroying customer goodwill.

Update: Made mobile service appointment on Tesla app for yellow borders on touchscreen. Later that day I receive a text saying this cannot be resolved by mobile service and they have cancelled mobile service and switched my appt to service center. Next day I call service center. I don’t want...

Thanks to OP for the great information. I just got the yellow screen on 2018 75D. Will contact Tesla but if best answer is I need to go through an arbitration process then pretty disappointing.

My autopilot is working really well again with latest version. Almost no phantom breaking during my commute. The issue where if a car in next lane is moving slightly toward your lane AP would hit the brakes (and potentially cause problems with car behind you) seems to be gone. I can commute...

Thanks TLej and hope mine requires as little maintenance as yours (it’s off to a good start).

I’m curious how people are handling the revised (lower) maintenance requirements? Took delivery of my 75D mid-2018 and I will put about 20k miles on the car per year. From what I can tell the key items are: * Mid 2020: Service for brake fluid and A/C desiccant replacement * Mid 2021: Change...

Such a great thread. Thank you for your stories and photos.

Thanks for the advice. Looking forward to the trip!

On 12.1.2 I am getting: * No ESPN streaming * Glitchy streaming of NPR station (which would be fine if I could listen to ESPN) So just streaming everything through my phone but now like others when I change from drive to reverse, etc. the volume goes to zero. None of this is important and I...

Inexperienced Tesla roadtripper planning a trip (So Cal to Davis to Truckee and back home) in 75D. Plugging the trip into abetterrouteplanner it looks like only things to consider for charging are (1) no supercharger in Davis so charge in Sacramento and (2) supercharger in Truckee and just need...

Outrageous :)

Totally agree. I think Tesla is where it is on customer service due mainly to: 1. Lack of Alternatives. As said here, what else are you going to buy? I am skeptical that legacy car companies even Porsche/Audi will want to do something game changing in short to medium term rather than allowing...

I use Tesla’s NAV pretty much every day in SoCal traffic. Recently when I have turned the wrong way or missed a turn the NAV does not reroute for what seems like an unreasonably long time. So long that I have turned Waze app on to check best route when in unfamiliar area. Has this happened to...

Got 8.3 this morning. Sentry mode, dashcam, red light detection... this is amazing that the car keeps improving, Although, they can make substantial improvements in semi-autonomous driving but yet smart windshield wipers are a bridge too far? :D

Based on this thread I will be on high alert for Mon morning commute tomorrow with AP

Yes it did adjust a few minutes after I started driving this morning. I had texted location of where I wanted to go (about 30 miles from my house) from Apple Maps to car and when I first got in the car this morning the Tesla Nav thought I was leaving on a long journey starting from Palo Alto...

Got the notice that update was available and clicked install on the IOS app

Installed 5.15 tonight. Have not driven with it but noticed it changed or reset a number of settings. Including scheduled charging turned off and various settings in the Tesla phone app. App showing my car location is 3500 Deer Creek Rd, Palo Alto while I am in Southern Cal. Shows closest...

Would be great if this one was fixed! I reboot a couple of times a week after parking in office garage.

Got 46.2 last night also. From the comments does not appear my number one item will be solved. AP phantom braking when motorcycle lane splitters go by - in the U.S. may just be a California problem. Problem (for me) began with v9. Other than this life with my 75D has been a beautiful experience!

Before my update to 42.2 a couple of days ago, I used AP in carpool lane most mornings in heavy SoCal traffic and it was great! Helped ease what had been a tough commute. After update, each morning the car has suddenly slammed brakes when motorcycle lane splitter goes by on my right (not every...

Installed 42.2 this morning. Used AP during my normal stop and go traffic commute (in HOV lane). Had not yet turned on NoA. All normal except for the first time the car hit the brakes hard when a motorcycle lane splitter went by on right side of car. Did this (sudden braking) more than once...

My reason (until I figure out if I am not doing something right) is every time I get in the car the default climate setting seems to be for “fresh” air not “recirculate”. Would be better if as I think it was before v9 and it definitely was in every other car I’ve had that the default...

My view is that this is mostly a positive not a negative. There was a “finished” product (Model X) that @Uncle Paul and others were obviously willing to purchase but the Tesla owners received incremental improvements (better wipers, maps, etc.) along the way that traditionally an owner would...

Agreed. In my case I highly value autopilot and driving without need for gas and gas stations. In 5 years when I look to replace my Model S I assume range and charging availability not to mention legitimate competitors to Tesla will be much more abundant. However for moving the industry...

I love the MS and 7000 miles in I have had ZERO problems. Leads me to want to buy paint protection, accessories, etc. since I would like to keep it as long as possible. However thinking it through I think I will keep it 4-5 years since I drive 20,000+ miles per year. Buying the extended...

Installed update (39.7) just using the Tesla app! Great, did not need to trudge out to driveway. But why not deliver release notes on the app once update installed? There is an inbox in app that doesn’t seem to be used much :)

Wow thank you. I am a relatively new owner and all this time I thought there was only single zone climate.

Just drove home this afternoon and I agree! Big improvement in stop and go traffic. Less a feeling of hurtling toward car in front of you and then jamming the brakes each time that car slows. Much smoother and natural braking. Added benefit is I am less concerned that car behind will rear...

Thanks for the great information! Ordering the legacy plates. Black plates on black Tesla should be pretty nice :D

I am considering ordering either the black legacy plates or the “whale tail” Coastal Commission plates and so getting a new license plate number. If you have done this can you confirm if need to do anything relating to the carpool lane stickers which I believe are tied to a specific license...

Apparently “Fitta” means something similar in Swedish which is why we have Honda Jazz in Europe and Fit in U.S.

For those who only put on the “rear”: Does this mean you put just the small decal on the rear bumper or did you also put the 2 larger decals on the rear quarter panels? Meaning did you put on 1 sticker or 3?

Ok I am putting the stickers on. Thought about getting the protective film below but don’t want “bad guys” to easily be able to peel these off the car and reuse. Calif. HOV Under Stickers Protection Film (Only $15 w/20% OFF)

I missed this the first time around. I have 4000 miles but already agree with Bruce - never going back to ICE car!
