Amazing, yes that has done it. Didn't even realise that was a setting. I must have accidentally pressed it to disable the side cams. Thank you.

On my UK Model S 2017 car, for ages I could see the side camera views along with the rear view when I was reversing. However, for what seems like no apparent reason, this stopped working. The rear camera view still works but where the side camera views were, there is nothing. Doesn't seem to...

Yep, 100% it was not this and it was a different kind of beep to this.

I purchased a used Model S a few months ago (in the UK so right hand drive car) and it's been really good. I'm fairly used to all the usual bings and bongs that go on. However, while driving on the motorway today, there was a really loud "BEEP BEEP" (exactly two beeps) and it sounded like it...

Some really good comments on here. I'm going to rule out any kind of DIY job as I'm not that great with that kind of thing and there are other factors too. Seems as though I can get a vinyl wrap for around £3k and a PPF wrap for around £5k. That's quite a big difference and given the original...

I'm not sure I have fully thought it all through (hence this post) but my initial thinking was the PPF wouldn't be put on to protect the original paint (because that is already 5 years old) but more to give it a new painted look which has the self healing properties. My thought to get vinyl...

I've recently purchased a used Model S (2017 75D) which has the original Tesla black paint. As far as I'm aware, the previous owner hasn't done anything other than a general wash (with or without waxing). There's no specific damage that I can see other than what you'd expect on a car that is 5...

Here in the UK, it is indeed the person at the back's fault. However, the innocent person at the front still has to incur the huge amount of hassle associated with the paperwork and phone calls etc even if it's going through the insurance companies. Not to mention that even a really good repair...

When driving along the motorway, I get a few phantom braking incidents for each hour of driving (roughly and on average). I totally understand this happens to everyone so I'm not alone but a few questions. What's the best way to deal with this in terms of reporting? I sometimes disengage AP...

That's awesome, yes I'll give that a go. Didn't realise this showed all this info. Thank you.

Using a 2017 Model S 75D, when I enter in a destination on the Tesla satnav, it will show the list of turn by turn instructions. Normally it will only show the next 2 turns but you can expand out the list to show a scrollable list of all of them. If you keep scrolling to the bottom of the list...

Thank you for the clarity. Yes, seems like the car I have did have an upgraded high power charger. Thanks :-)

I'm in the UK and recently purchased a used 75D 2017. I thought the car maxed out at about 11kW on AC 3 phase charging (16A). But I plugged into a public 22kW AC 3 phase charger and I was pleasantly surprised to see it charging at a rate of around 16.5 to 17kW. I vaguely remember 11kW (16A, 3...

I've got the built in Tesla dashcam feature in my Model S as well as an aftermarket dashcam (that was installed by the previous owner). I'm assuming they installed the aftermarket dashcam because the Tesla dashcam wasn't available to them at the time. However, the aftermarket dashcam has become...

Okay, I had a play with the options and Passive Entry was greyed out. Turns out that it cannot be used when Sentry mode is enabled. In fact, simply disabling Sentry mode was not enough, I had to exit the car, lock it, unlock and then Passive Entry was toggleable. Not sure why Passive Entry would...

I really like the Jeda charging hub (Tesla Model Y USB Hub for Sentry Storage and Dashcam - Jeda Products) but is there anything similar for a 2017 Model S? I like the idea of having a secret compartment for the sentry USB key but also providing USB ports as well as a wireless charging...

It sounds like this will unlock the car as I approach. So touching the door handles doesn't open the locks from a locked car but rather it presents the door handles on a car that has already been unlocked. Is that correct?

I can confirm that the car does 100% not open with the fob in my pocket when I press the door handles. I think it must be the way I've configured the car: Walk away door lock: On Auto present handles: Off Unlock on park: Off Driver door unlock mode: Off Passive entry: Off (this could be the...

Is this true even with PIN to drive enabled?

I've recently become an owner of a used Model S 2017. According to my preferences, I've setup the car with: PIN to drive: enabled Auto present door handles: disabled I thought that with the fob in my pocket there would be a way for me to open the car without having to touch the fob (e.g. I...

I have recently purchased a Model S 2017 with a panoramic roof. It came with roof rail bars that were attached to the built in roof mounting points. However, 3 of the 4 plastic flaps that cover the mounting points have broken away. Doesn't seem like the plastic flaps are that strong but doing...

Thanks for this. I've dropped an email to that address now and also rung the number you gave. Apparently the number is some company Tesla has contracted to deal with this particular voting. They may not necessarily get involved with future Tesla votes though. They did say that it is a real pain...

I live in the UK and I own Tesla shares (the brokerage firm is Hargreaves Lansdown, www.hl.co.uk). I read about the upcoming CEO compensation package voting and I decided I wanted to vote. However, I wasn't sure how I could do this. I contacted Tesla directly but never got a response. I...

At the moment, I'm happy to consider the most basic and early version of Tesla Model S. I think much beyond this would be unaffordable anyway. I probably do around 3 to 5k miles a year, most of which are short 5 to 15 mile journeys. I think even the most poverty spec Model S would be better than...

Yes, was looking at exactly this. 2nd hand S60/60D. With a good 2nd hand price and my current car traded in, it would be a stretch but doable. The lower running costs would be offset and my fuel would be free as I'd be using superchargers or the mains socket from my rented accommodation (my...

I'm not sure if this is true yet, I'm weighing up options but even if I could, it wouldn't be an easy purchase. I have an existing BMW to trade in and I was looking at EV vehicles I could switch to. I considered the Nissan Leaf which would do the job fine for local journey's but then I'd be...

It's a 240V standard UK mains socket. I think this can charge a few miles of range per hour. I would have no issue driving late at night to a nearby supercharger to boost the battery up to full if it was getting low. However, I'd imagine a few overnight charges from the UK mains socket would be...

I've done a lot of research and I'm totally sold on the Model S and the whole ethcis of the Tesla company and Elon Musk. He is an amazing guy and I have a lot of respect for him. I live in London and most of my journeys are local 5 to 15 miles journeys. I rarely do more than 50 miles in a week...
