    Bluetooth issue

    Hi, A friend just upgraded Infotainment to MCU2.0 on a 2017 Model S. He is experiencing these clicking noises and immersing sound for the other party, but only on phone calls via Bluetooth, not when listening to Music. Service tried twice to repair, and replaced the microphone once. Finally...

    I guess It is my first "controversial" post. I will ignore your tone and answer as if we are just 2 guys exchanging words. 1. No, it is not a parody, but it does seem my original post was blown out of proportion. I am a very passionate proponent of Tesla, both Car and even more stock. I spend a...

    Thank you for an honest, detailed response. All make sense. There is absolutely no doubt, moving forward, some companies are going to make better EV cars than Tesla, at least in some aspects as you mentioned. Maybe not in price and volume, but I am excited about the future Tesla forced on other...

    No one said he doesn't want Tesla, I did say, he is uneducated with Specs, ranges, driving and experiencing Tesla, neither about some of Taycan limited specs. The dealer told him 227(or maybe 199, could not confirm the actual range) on Porsche is closer to 300. And that 2 year unlimited warranty...

    Perfection? Hyundai, kia, chevy, Nissan, Audi, VW, basically all companies are selling perfection, and Tesla is selling an realistic dream? If it was only Porsche, I might have agreed, but it's not... Need to come up with a different explanation.

    It still doesn't explain, how an independent, non biased government body determines the EPA rate as it does. Does anyone know how EPA works? Do they accept company figure and approve it untested? Do they take it for a drive under fixed criterias, equally applied to all brands? I Would think the...

    The problem is... They use what ever method on both cars and all other cars equally. So, I guess your might be suggesting that at 47 mph, the Plaid is indeed 396 and the Porsche 227, but at 70 mph, the Porsche looses efficiency less significantly then Tesla? Any way, in that case, the problem...

    Appreciate your opinion. How do you explain though, they are EPA approved? Is Tesla in bed with EPA? It is hard to assume that Tesla is receiving preferred, unsubstantiated rating. The cars are independently tested. I do understand that some personal experience and many unflattering...
