Since it’s 2024 and I’m searching for solutions to the same issue, I can confidently say it’s not fixed. My SC says “it’s a problem with google - out of our control - it will resolve over time as google repopulates the tiles. I do think they have a clue…

So, no trouble putting a gen 3 cable onto a gen 2 wall connector? They used to sell the cable separately; I purchased one but no more. Might be worth buying the gen 3 cable and adapt it to the gen 2.

I have an early 2016 Model S. Is there somewhere to find a video on replacing the cabin filter? Is there a filter behind the Frunk, too? If so, what are the exact dimensions? (or nearly exact - people seem to be cutting filters out of the frunk frame) Thanks Guys, Doug thanks for sharing...

so folks, with an early 2016 Model S with the 'nose- cone' feature, I'm hoping to change the filters (I've had the car since new, but never changed a filter in it!) Does my car have a non-hepa filter in the Frunk and a filter in the glove box? Thanks Doug

hey guys, Over the years, I've noticed that the aluminum "Tesla" cover plate with the laser cut button to open the charge port has just about fallen off the wand. Has anyone found a replacement for this cover and/or an adhesive that will hold the plate securely" My charger cable has been...

I have to say, after upgrading the MCU I was hoping that the upgrade would give me a usable browser. No such luck. The 1/2 screen browser often goes blank, except for the route - the route doesn't update smoothly - there does not appear to be any 'recalculation of route' and finally, there...

I have a 2016 S, quoted an upgrade price of $2600CAD inc taxes. They asked if I wanted to upgrade the radio (which my wife uses regularly) but I'm interested in your thoughts on why it's a waste of money. I'm really most interested in "Way points" for navigation, which the MCU1 won't handle.

I was in driver assist mode driving in a 2016 Model S. the toll road had lit electronic toll stations. On one, the car suddenly detected an impending collision (red car symbol in front of the braking Tesla symbol) and went into a hard brake. I was amazed at the brightness of the light coming...

I have a 2016 model s. No way points in the navigation system. Is that normal? as well, being able to specify range, rather than model of car (which no longer had the MS 85 listed) would be a nice (and simple) feature to add

I think you might find that if the manufacturer alters the algorithm simply to deactivate non-OEM parts, it will be deemed illegal/unfair practice. You're mixing apples and oranges. The "coincidence" of a non-oem product no longer working after the manufacturer does an 'update' doesn't need to...

I don’t know :)

This is still a ~30aH battery, right? I mean all the hype of Cold Cranking Power (1200Amps) aside, it’s a 30 amp hour battery, right? 😉

I guess apart from weight (and that actually might be the very reason Tesla is putting lithium batteries in the new cars, now) do you think better self discharge characteristics might be a valid consideration?

Well, I just booked my 12 volt Model S 2016 battery replacement. I have the ‘extended warranty’ but the estimate for this >$300 plus tax. Roadside replacement. this idea of shutting down all but OEM replacement parts seems to be contrary to the “right to repair” doctrine being adopted around...

I wonder if it’s a bug or a ‘feature’ 🤑

My 2016 model S just advised me of the need to book a 12v battery replacement… not bad life span

Will they replace it under the extended warranty here in Canada?

just an update. Being relatively new to the Tesla Model S (2016 - purchased new!:confused: ) I guess this is something everyone knows... but when you push the key fob 'roof' once, the car instantly locks. Ok, now we've got the 30 seconds exit delay solved to reduce the risk of loss of...

Well, 20 minutes on the phone with Tesla resolved the issue. There is an option that must be specifically enabled that "locks the doors when leaving the car with the key fob". mine was not enabled. I did not disable it. Seems to me that this might not be a "feature" that everyone is aware...

you might rethink your security if someone takes your car in the middle of the night :) But more to the point - no, it isn't a blue tooth phone issue. I just went out, nothing in my pockets.... door handle promptly appears when I touch it. Not good

Following a recent theft of our Lexus (with keyless entry), we ordered some faraday pouches and decided to test them with my 2016 Model S With the key in the pouch, I touched the door handle and to my surprise, the door opened. The key was not detected inside the car, so I was not (fortunately)...

I have noticed that my model S 2016 presents the door handle without the key fob present. We had our Lexus stolen two days ago so are a bit sensitive to Relay Attacks ie Man in the Middle compromises. So, we ordered RFID protectors - two Faraday Envelops and a Box. When I put the fob into the...

I think there are some problems with your analysis. First, the yellowing is occurring in discrete bands. They look to be 5mm wide and totally linear across the screen BUT they are also occurring vertically, more like creating a border. They are also crisp and well defined. Chemistry problems...

has happened to me twice. first time, just tore the black plastic end of the charger wand off. No damage to the charge port. Second time, it destroyed the charger wand again ($500 a pop) AND bent the door back far enough to break the red plastic reflector. I'm told that the model S from...

heavy snow today. my driveway is quite steep and has already eaten two charge cables. The cause of failure is my plugged in Model S sliding down the drive while charging. Ugh! getting expensive and tiring! :)

Well, for what it's worth, I've had this once in the past and just recently this afternoon. I rebooted twice. No luck. What sorted it out for me was clicking on the climate control button followed by toggling the "auto" on / off button. The system worked perfectly from that point on.. I think...

Wouldn't it seem reasonable for Tesla to say ""consider upgrading your Slacker service to the premium package to take advantage of all the features (insert current list of features this actually entails) available" rather than pretending this is a premium/pro service Tesla is offering their...

Did the 100amp -> 200amp upgrade involve completely replacing your existing panel? in my case, I had a 200amp line into my meter but only 100amp into the house. The electrician basically installed a 200amp panel ahead of my 100amp bloc in the basement. I feel the $1700 was a good price. Doug

I might be in a particularly bad mood, having recently gotten off a flight from Denver to Toronto....but... The slacker internet audio system is about the dumbest "system" I have ever come across. Please, don't get me wrong. If you have solutions to these issues, please chime in. When i I do...

Well, I called a "tesla approved" electrician who quoted $1200 up for a simple install of the wall charger. This didn't include the cost of the charger. I asked the same electrician what a NEMA 5-50 welder outlet would cost and he answered everything but my question. I decided to go with a...

THanks for that information! If I upgraded to the fully premium package, can I rewind, store songs in play lists etc? As it stands right now, it's pretty limited Doug

Hi guys, Is there a simple "using the Model S sound system" sticky somewhere? at least for me, this is a less than intuitive interface. I can pause, but not rewind music. Can't download albums, can't creat playlists. Had the car less than a week but am having troubles. Thanks doug

Slacker works - but no rewind feature. Is that "just the way it is" with Slacker? Pause - no problems but can't go back. I'm on the latest version. 7.x S85D

Ya, but I have friends in the Napa Valley :) You could always drive to the mother ship Thanks for the thoughts though. It's closed now but I think I've got a sensor problem - I drove home with the warning light inside the car indicating that the port was open, even though it was clearly shut...

Thanks eCarfan, Just today, I also noticed the car telling me that the charging port was open. I thought it might be related to preheating the car without having it plugged in, but no such luck. Now, each time I touch the charge port door to close it, it waits a few seconds and promptly opens...

Has anyone found the drivers side a bit awkward to get in/out and around the steering wheel? It's fine to set the seat/mirrors/steering wheel for each driver, but a nice feature of my lexus is the wheel moves out of the way when I get in/out of the car. Is this a feature I simply haven't yet...

Is there any way to start "new" threads in the Southern-Ontario Owners group? Doug

Not disputing the end of the 85kWh battery pack, just that the build date (year), rather than the order date determines the VIN. If that's not correct, I must have have misunderstood the question. Doug

As a person who just took delivery on my S85D, I'm surprised that the 85kWh pack issue wasn't mentioned. In fact, I specifically upgraded from the 70 to the 85 simply based on range anxiety and the potential issue of resale. Not entirely sure how to feel about this. Doug

Not true (as far as I know, anyway). We purchased an S85D in December, for delivery late January/February. We did this later delivery specifically to ensure that the VIN would reflect a 2016 automobile NOT a 2015. Picked it up yesterday - it's a 2016 85kWh vehicle. I don't think that the VIN...

Hi Guys, I've just gotten into the Tesla Clan but am wondering what most in the Ontario region are choosing for service plans. I've purchased an S85D. I really have no idea about what the practical aspects of the various "service" plans are about. I have a charger being installed in my garage...
