    Double vision (ghosting) at night through windshield?

    Thanks, @vandacca. I expect you are right. Just wish they'd be a little more forthcoming with their responses.

    Double vision (ghosting) at night through windshield?

    Here's the latest. Perhaps final... for now. I sent the following note to my SC: I have attempted to take pictures of the issue with my DSLR. That's proving difficult at night given the lighting conditions and movement, so I will need to take another shot at that over this weekend. In the...

    Double vision (ghosting) at night through windshield?

    No, I have a TS (MS) 90D and have this issue. I had my windshield replaced, which made the issue worse.

    Double vision (ghosting) at night through windshield?

    1. I've never seen this during daylight... so it seems bad for you. Yikes. 2. Gotta love Tennessee... you guys have a Dave Beasley Rd and a John Beasley Rd. Brothers? ;)

    Hmmm. Maybe I should consider doing this...

    Double vision (ghosting) at night through windshield?

    Interesting... My MS is perpetually set to 70... I tweak it up to 71 or down to 69 on occasion, but that's rare. I guess I should be making popsicles :)

    Double vision (ghosting) at night through windshield?

    Indeed. Here's a statement I received from the SC: "Based on internal testing and data from the supplier, there is no evidence of a wide range of variation in Model X windshields that would result in the reflections issue occurring on some windshields but not on others. This said...

    Windshield Light Ghosting at Night: NO RESOLUTION

    Indeed it is. I am switching to the other thread that seems to have significantly more activity, but I'd like to find out... Has any owner actually gotten this resolved by Tesla?

    Windshield Light Ghosting at Night: NO RESOLUTION

    It is very obvious in my car. And now that I am aware of it, it is impossible to not see this in every light at night. Corporate - to get a clearer answer. If it's a pervasive issue on the Model S, then they need to come clean about it. If it is not, and most people don't have this issue (or...

    Perhaps... but I doubt that.

    Windshield Light Ghosting at Night: NO RESOLUTION

    Yes, but... There is actually a Wired article about this (see this). According to that article, Tesla Motors stated "We have received only a small number of questions from Model X customers about the windshield and have taken action to address these unique cases." If that's the case, then the...

    Windshield Light Ghosting at Night: NO RESOLUTION

    Some of you may have read about my numerous issues with a new (Apr'16) Model S. Here's the original thread. One of the issues was a serious windshield issue: at night, bright lights such as tail lights, traffic lights, headlights, and street lamps viewed through the windshield would have a...

    Double vision (ghosting) at night through windshield?

    All, so I'll admit to not having read the entire thread -- will do that next. But I did read the first few pages some weeks ago. I have a Model S, not X, picked up in April. It has the windshield ghosting issue. After taking care of many others, having an "engineering ticket" open, the...

    I have an older loaner now. It creaks really badly somewhere upfront. Yes, irritating to say the least.

    One month in: Model S issues

    They tell me they've replaced the gear lever and the buzzing is gone. I can't verify that yet as they are keeping the car for the remaining issues for now.

    One month in: Model S issues

    Sure. Windshield light ghosting - high priority. Noticed this a few weeks ago. Now confirmed. When it's dark (at night after dusk), bright lights (such as oncoming headlights, traffic lights, bright break lights) appear in triple through the windshield. The light itself and a sort of a...

    One month in: Model S issues

    Funny stuff. They replaced the light and the chrome applique. Take it in, they should do that without question. Think about it... our $100K cars are so advanced, they come with a pet. No other car company does that for their customers. :p

    One month in: Model S issues

    Well, it's in service. Few smaller issues fixed, including the gear lever buzzing. Good. Three to go: * Center Console lid... they need to replace the entire center console. Waiting for the part, no ETA yet. * There are defects in the leather in the rear seat bench and seat back. Need to...

    TACC rough in stop-and-go traffic

    It's interesting how TACC changes driving behaviors. I suspect it exaggerates whatever your driving habits are without the TACC. Either way, I agree that leaving too much room invites folks to cut in, but following too closely may, at times invite road rage. I now find myself adjusting...

    TACC rough in stop-and-go traffic

    Thank you! I will definitely try using a higher number... I typically keep it on 1-2 depending on conditions :)

    Thanks, Jennifer. As far as Adaptive Headlighs, I mean the new ones as of a couple of weeks ago, those that adjust the direction of the beam based on steering wheel location (I.e. "Lighting around turns").

    One month in: Model S issues

    I think I finally semi-diagnosed the buzzing sound. It happens when there is some amount of vibration on the highway, typically on concrete pavement rather than on asphalt pavement. I was almost right when I thought it's coming from the steering column assembly - it's coming from the gear...

    That could be it. I was in TACC+AutoSteer.

    Ah... that's possible. I do turn around just like that. Interesting. Thanks!

    Rear collision prevention... or something else

    Last rant for now, I promise :) Just getting used to my new car, so figured a month in is a good time to ask questions. Behavior: I am backing up slowly, usually out of a parking spot and beginning to turn, then the car stops suddenly and is in Park rather than Reverse. There is nothing...

    Front collision warning fluke/ghost

    Weird thing has happened to me -- 3 times, maybe four. I am driving along, all of a sudden I get a rapid beep of the front collision warning, there is a red image of a car in front of mine on the dashboard, right in front and flickering red for a second or two... but there is no car in front of...

    TACC rough in stop-and-go traffic

    Model S 90D, 2016, pre-updates. I love TACC and Auto-pilot, use these features a ton, and appreciate them no end in highway slow crawl and stop-and go. Typically the experience is buttery-smooth. A couple of days ago I was in a really bad stop-and-go stint in Fremont, CA, not on a highway...

    One month in: Model S issues

    So I am just a bit over one month in with my Model S 90D. 2,700 miles in 33 days. I love the car. I hate the little issues. Quality control can clearly improve. Preamble: I picked up my car on Apr. 16. I was really disappointed that I missed the changes (new nose, improved range...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Indeed. I called. Got "You will get exactly what you ordered". Which is fair. But disappointing nonetheless. I don't think they are deliberately withholding information... as someone said, they've "blundered forward". But someone should have known 2-3 weeks ago when my car was entering...

    RYDEEN RDV360 degree Bird's Eye view plus Integrated 9500ci Display

    Well... My wife's Infinity QX60 has this feature... and I think it's one of the best features on that vehicle. Cool and useful. I applaud Rydeen for making an aftermarket option... but I won't be getting it. To me, getting a highly technologically advanced vehicle with that gorgeous 17"...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I ordered my 90D with most bells and whistles in Feb but requested delivery on April 16. On track, picking it up this Saturday... I was super-excited, but then saw the news of the design update. And it seems I missed the window on the new design changes. Argh! So unfortunate. First the new...

    Model S Roof Rack

    Argh. They are on back order everywhere. Directly at Whispbar, through Tesla, at Rack Attack. Others don't have the right size. Whispbar says they will start shipping again some time in May. :mad: I guess I'll just tape my skiis to the hood with duct tape...
