    Voice Command not working after MCU2 upgrade

    Since everything was pretty much already right for me, I only added mine back. Is there a way to add my wife's back from some kind of backup memory or do I need her to adjust things to her liking?

    Voice Command not working after MCU2 upgrade

    I had the infotainment upgrade done on my 2013 Model S. As was mentioned voice commands would not work and the message "Communication Error. Try Again" would show almost immediately after pushing the talk button. I had a Tesla Ranger come out and he could not fix the issue so they were...

    I got a question for upgrade the infotainment.

    I just had my 2013 Model S upgraded with MCU2. Both of my screens were leaking and the car would take a long time to boot up. For the $1750 they replaced both screens and upgraded to MCU2. It looks great and works great except I too have an issue with voice commands. Voice commands worked...

    Usb music not restarting

    Just tried the voice command "USB" and it worked. Thank you RichardL for the tip. It is amazing the weird things we have to do to listen to usb music. At least this one step is easier than opening and closing doors multiple times and is more intuitive too.

    Usb music not restarting

    My 2018 Model X just got 2022.4.5.21 and my media player now asks me to select a source instead of restart my usb music. Streaming music seems to start properly. Up until this last update, my usb music would start where it left off as long as I used the app to initiate the climate control...

    Model Y LR RWD is dead, configuration update required by 12/16

    I was willing to buy the long range RWD Y at my mid 2019 price and could have waited much longer for it. Might even pay the extra few thousand for AWD verses RWD, but with a $14,000 price increase the answer from me is now NO. Fortunately, there are other compelling EVs available with options...

    2018 X door squeaking issue and question about blind-spot light for mirror

    Could the sound from the right actually be the seat. In my seven seat 2018 X, if the middle row seat on the right is pushed back all the way it rubs and causes a squeaking noise. I simply move the seat forward a tiny bit and the noise goes away. Not sure if that is the problem, but something...

    Kennesaw, GA store?

    Exterior construction does appear to be complete, but the interior seems to be pretty much wide open. Looks like a half dozen or so level 2 chargers outside and 1 Supercharger. Not sure if they are energized, but as I drove by I saw 5 Teslas parked in those spots. They all had temporary tags...

    Will older Tesla S/X with Induction Motors ever have FSD?

    I have FSD Beta now with my 2018 X and considering how hard the car tends to brake, I think the physical brakes are used alot on all FSD running Teslas regardless of which motors are in the cars.

    Safety Score: parameter dependence

    Going the opposite direction, if somehow you were able to drive 100 miles in a day and you made only 1 turn that counted and it turned out to be aggressive, that would be a 100% Aggressive Turning for that day. If on another day you drove only 10 miles and still had only one turn that counted...

    Safety Score: parameter dependence

    Still trying to understand how this all works. If we look at Agressive Turning for example. From what I am hearing driving 10 miles with 1 perfect turn would be equal to driving 10 miles with 10 perfect turns. At the end of the day you essentially book 10 miles with a perfect score in both...

    Safety Score

    I wonder what percentage of Android users will get FSD in this first round. I know for me I had 10 days without any knowledge of my safety score and found out on the 11th day I had a 97 mostly due to Aggressive Turning. I do not believe I had more than 1 day at 100 before getting the Safety...

    Comprehensive USB Bug List

    SucreTease, you should while still outside the car shutting your door and then opening it again. For me it usually starts playing properly after the second opening, but sometimes I have to close it a 2nd or even a 3rd time. It also tends to resume properly if I have opened and closed the rear...

    Should I sell or hold on to my Roadster?

    I was going to sell my 1.5 and even had it posted for several months. Prices looked good and I was getting afraid to continue owning the Roadster. My biggest concern was having the support of a Roadster technician nearby. I had already tried Tesla's email service, but I could not get them to...

    Roadster Service and ‘The App’

    On my 3rd try, I did get a response from them, unfortunately I had not given them my home address so they asked for that. Never heard back from them after responding with my address.

    Recommendation for portable (12v) tire pump

    Just got the DeWalt tire pump. It comes with the 12 volt cable, can be used with a DeWalt 20 volt battery or you can buy a 120 volt adapter. The tire pressure guage on the pump seems to be reasonably accurate and it does fill the tire to the dialed in amount. I bought the 120 volt adapter and...

    40 Amp being decreased to 30A

    Not sure why it is reading only 30amps. As you say it should be 32. Have you tried setting your car to 32amps and see if it goes there instead. Maybe it is some kind of Tesla software thing that is dropping it an even 10amps below your request. Not likely, but may be worth a shot. As to the...

    40 Amp being decreased to 30A

    To get 40amps to the car you need a 50amp breaker. You can only charge at 80% of the breaker's rating. You are also losing some charging speed since your input voltage is 205 and not 240 like you would have at home.

    Gen 1 wall charger randomly activates then deactivates after charging

    Have same issue with 2018 X and Gen 2 Wall charger. Last time I checked, however, it was clicking on for maybe 30 seconds and then off for about 20 minutes before doing it all over again. I do not have a regular schedule so I most often charge just before I leave. This means I am not using...

    Buzz humming sound and drop in charge level

    Success! Last night I pulled the Roadster out of the garage. Max battery temperature was 35C. Came out early in the morning and checked, Max battery temperature was 34C. I then initated a Range charge at 12amps with the car still outside and added the 2 fans front and rear. I also opened...

    Buzz humming sound and drop in charge level

    DeedWest, I did not check the battery temperature after the charge was complete. Since I do not have any of the remote monitoring, I have to go into the diagnostic screen to find the temps under vitals. Anyways, now 4 or 5 hours after the charge was complete the max battery temperature is 34C...

    Buzz humming sound and drop in charge level

    Started charging with 165 miles of standard range showing on the guage. A full standard charge on my car is right now 214 miles so I had 49 miles to makeup. I charged at 12 amps for the first 30 minutes in range mode and then changed it back to standard charge ,also at 12 amps, for the...

    Buzz humming sound and drop in charge level

    Jason. You are right, I do not drive the Roadster much. Maybe once a week and even then it is less than 20 miles. I am charging at 24amps so a 30 minute range charge plus my 10 mile loss overnight brought my range up to 217 once switched back to standard. Right now my 3.0 pack is stopping at...

    Any benefit in reducing charge rate?

    Never hurts to charge somewhat slower. Heat of all components over time can be a killer. That being said all your charging equipment is probably rated at 40amps or more so you probably are not stressing them at 30amps. So we are only talking about the breaker and wiring.

    Buzz humming sound and drop in charge level

    Running a 30 minute range charge and running 2 fans in the coolest part of the day, which was more like 75F did not shut down the pump. Ran the fans the rest of the day and the pump stayed on. Looks like the battery got down to 31C after the charge, but that is it. You are right that the pump...

    Buzz humming sound and drop in charge level

    The last 2 nights, I have left the car outside all night to cool off. Temperatures outside dropped to 70f on both days, but the pump did not turn off. I then ran a charging cycle during the coolest part of the morning still no luck. I will try the fans next.

    Love Tesla. Love my car. Wish Tesla would please fix the USB Audio Player.

    Update after update and still the usb media player does not startup correctly. I feel like such a fool opening and closing my door 2 to 3 times everytime I get into the car, but fortunately that works for me almost everytime.

    Buzz humming sound and drop in charge level

    During the Summer my coolant pump stays on constantly for at least a month maybe 2. July and August when the garage stays hot is the problem. Also while the pump is running there is a fairly large range drop as the Roadster sits there. I have not tried to quantify the range drop, but it could...

    Charging equipment fault on the Tesla destination charger

    I had a gen1 HPWC and for almost a year my 2018 Model X charged perfectly with it. Then all of a sudden it would not charge and the red light started coming on. Fortunately, I found that I could reset the HPWC, with the button on the side of the HPWC, and charging would then start properly...

    Getting a service appointment for Roadster 2008

    Battery discharging after 2020.20.13 update

    I updated my 2018 X 100D with FSD to 2020.24.6.1 last night. This morning the rear camera was cool and lost only 1 mile overnight. I guess we will see if that continues after driving it.

    HPWC/breaker almost caught fire...thoughts?

    I almost never need full power from my HPWC. I always run my charging at 25amp so that everything stays relatively cool. I believe in the long run, I will get longer life out of my wiring and charging equipment. On those few days I really need to charge faster I move the amps up.

    Change in charging intervals when plugged in

    Phantom.... Charging!?

    My Tesla charger does the same thing. It is charging for no more than 30 seconds mulitple times per hour. I decided to leave my car unplugged, except while actively charging, until I hear the issue is resolved. Although there is no more information here, there is another thread covering this...

    Change in charging intervals when plugged in

    I am seeing this same behavior too, in my 2018 100D. I have heard the charger relay 3 times so far today and condsidering how little time I have been in the garage, I have to guess it is turning on and off possibily multiple times per hour for no more than 30 seconds at a time. Fearing the...

    Roadster visible on Tesla website owner page?

    When i had my Model X in for an update, I asked the service manager to check that my Roadster was still showing as owned by me in their computers and it was. Not sure how much their records coordinate with corporate, but that was at least reassuring. On the other hand, I have not been able...

    Heated Steering wheel

    For some of us with cold hands a heated steering wheel is directed heat to the only part of my body that needs heat. For my hands to be comfortable the car would have to be unbearably hot for the rest of my body. I rarely run the cabin heater in my car, because I just do not need it for most...

    Charging the Roadster

    I charge at 32amps. I do it mostly for the HPWC and wiring than anything else. No point heating everything up with high current when it is not necessary.
