Just an FYI I tried adding the product to my wife's new account (got a model 3 so she had to get an account to be a driver), you jump through a bunch of hoops and it tells you that the Powerwall is already registered to someone else. Guess I still have to call Tesla to get her access to see the...

For Sale: OHMMU 12V Lithium Battery for Model S. $300. Prefer local pick-up in San Fernando Valley, California. May be willing to ship elsewhere. I had it installed for about a month before deciding to trade the car in. The battery worked great, significantly lighter than the stock battery...

Tesla did fix it. Basically the MCU seems to be the store of the odometer data, so when they install a new one they're supposed to key in the odometer of the old one, and they mistyped mine and added 35,000 extra miles or so. They reset the odometer back to the right value, but there have been a...

I am embarrassed to say I just noticed a problem with my MCU2 upgrade. Tesla doubled my odometer read... Luckily for me I have TeslaFi and can pinpoint the exact time it happened. Now to fight with them to roll back my mileage.

Final update: Dealing with Tesla Service certainly is annoying now. They text you and then don't respond back for an entire day. Even though my original invoice said they checked my tires, I asked them if they replaced my tire that was ground up by the suspension control arm breaking and the...

Yes I did. This why we have the NHTSA to help track this stuff and see if there is a larger problem. I am a bit dismayed that I don't feel Tesla is taking enough concern over these suspension issues, I should be able to drive the car normally and not worry that my wheel is going to fall into the...

Update: Car was towed to Tesla on Saturday 8/29, no acknowledgement of receipt from Tesla, nothing on Sunday, nothing on Monday so I called at 4pm and left a message, got a text message saying no one has looked at it and asking if I needed a rental (I didn't need the rental so I declined). Got a...

Figured I'd add a bit more detail about the event. I was traveling roughly 35mph in a straight line on a clear road with no discernible debris. Same road I travel every day to get to work. To get up our driveway there is a right hand turn and you cannot take it at much more than 5-10 mph...

Today making a sharp turn into my work driveway the car started making an awful grinding sound. I've read enough threads to suspect a suspension failure. Was able to limp into a parking spot, found a broken control arm (hope I have right term), and the force of the car as it was turning and...

Want to bump this because I was up at Mt Wilson tonight with my 2017 Model S to see the comet Neowise. Fob stopped working, couldn't get into the car, no trunk, no frunk, no summon. Was able to stand on a wall to get cell service, but car had no internet so Tesla app was not working. Finally...

You'd probably get more help with a less inflammatory title...

I second the Yermo stop, Eddie World is fun. But it if Yermo is full Baker has more chargers, but amenities are not nearly as nice.

I think you present a valid point and there are many more scenarios when the center cameras forward also are questionable. Another example being if there is a semi-truck in front of you the amount of lane markings in the forward direction the car can see is reduced, a curve wouldn't be...

I'm also having this problem on higher voltage chargers. My work has 240VAC chargers, which my car won't charge at all on anymore. If I got to the 208VAC chargers it will always charge.

I've been running it since I got the car in July 2017. I actually run two separate dashcams, so the "rear channel" of the 650 I have mounted on the rear of the back panel of the pano roof facing forward as an interior camera. It is very small and discreet, can see the drivers display and mcu...

I have that exact dash cam, hardwired to the lift gate supply in the trunk ( I run it backwards, main camera pointing back, small camera up front) which is always on with no power magic pro. I've had no 12V battery issues on my AP2 2017 S. Personally I'd just wire up the dash cam, waiting on...

From the manual: "Automatic Emergency Braking is designed to automatically brake in situations where a collision is considered imminent (see Automatic Emergency Braking on page 103). Warning: Automatic Emergency Braking is not designed to prevent a collision. At best, it can minimize the impact...

Hmm your story triggered a memory for me, I was out driving in the mild of nowhere California near Trona, I rounded a bend and there was a some sort of spinning dish directly in front of me (found it here Google Maps) as soon as the dish rotated to pointing at the car Autopilot kicked off and...

Amused that I called the 2k price reduction at tax credit reduction, although I was a bit too specific in stating it would be on paint/awd: Disappointed in Tesla's pricing on paint

Add me to the list, my car cheerfully congratulated me with a feature I've had for over a year

The car only knows that there was a loss of traction so it reacts, based on my experiences once it has experienced a loss of traction it will rely solely on the brakes until you completely release the bakes, the programming seems to assume that if there was a loss of traction that takes away...

For me this happens if I hit a bump or anything that makes the car think that it is losing traction for a second. The regen will immediately throttle off. My particular freeway off ramp has a bump on it that if I hit too fast will stop regen every time. Because of that I just slow down a bit...

I had a thought on this today. What if all of the price hikes are so they can reduce the price once the tax credit halved. They will come out, drop paint by 1k, drop awd by 1k, and use it to show empathy for losing the tax credit or if they don't deliver your car in time. Something along the...

You also could just let the car do its thing. Maybe it is communicating with the mothership or performing some type of file system clean up, or who knows what else. While I have ability to check if my car is sleeping or not I choose not to waste time from my life worrying about it. My two...

When the service center takes your car they are supposed to do a check off sheet that has a picture of the car with all the damage noted on it. (it is like a rental car checkout where you mark damages). They should be able to provide that checkout sheet, and if it doesn't show any damages then...

@to-mars Welcome to the Forum, and I guess good-bye? Not sure what you expect the company to do, it's not like they are sitting on their hands doing nothing? They are literally trying to juggle going from a tiny Luxury Car Manufacture to multiplying their operations by orders of magnitude while...

Heat is a sign of a poor electrical connection. For an outlet the most common culprit would be where the conductor is attached to the outlet. Not sure where you are in Los Angeles, but if your up in the valley and need a hand message me.

Seems to be a common thing in San Francisco area: Another smashed window. Thanks, SF! San Francisco life with a Tesla Bay Area broken windows and car break ins I think this post is the most relevant to your question about price: Yet another break in.

Same here, almost no nags, just a light downward pressure on the left side of the wheel with my hand.

I have driven a couple hundred miles on this new update, I have gotten maybe one nag. The reason I get no nags is that I always have my hands on the wheel and am alert paying attention to what the car is doing (which is still way easier and way more relaxing then driving myself). The people...

Looks like a bad display to me. Never seen anything like that on my 2017 90D S. Matt

Yes, but really the current version is not doing anything to make that choice, so it could do either thing so you should be cautious since 9 times it could do one thing and then do something different the tenth. The current version really is just trying to keep you in a lane and moving forward...

Interpreting radar is hard, small round/concave objects can bounce back signals looking as if they are giant. So it is hard to tell what may have caused it. Currently it seems the only way to even flag it is to use the "bug report" voice command followed by what the problem is. ie: "bug report...

I'll post this just in case, my most annoying little rattle actually ended up being from the silver ring on the parking lever. That ring is just loose enough to rattle under certain road conditions. I finally put a tiny piece of tape on the back side of it and now it doesn't rattle at all. YMMV...

Ugg I did this. It was very frustrating, Tesla didn't have any fax machines, and USAA wouldn't accept anything but a fax. Tesla ended up driving us to an Office Max an we had to pay them to fax USAA their stupid paperwork. I personally will be avoiding USAA auto loans until they fix this...

Just to be clear LED's produce plenty of heat, not nearly as much as incandescent or halogen, and not in the IR light spectrum, but you need beefy heatsinks for high output LEDs. Look at 1000 lumen bicycle lights and such, plenty of effort goes into designing the heatsink to keep the LED cool...

I find this attitude very disturbing, you're basically saying that in a case where you were in the wrong you want to bury / obscure the truth as much as possible. How about you own up to it? Admit you did something wrong and save people the grief of dealing with someone who lies about the true...

I found a parts sheet for replacing components of the relay here : http://www.albrightinternational.com/wpcms/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/SW82822.pdf And spec sheet with contact info here: http://www.albrightinternational.com/wpcms/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/SW82-Catalogue-Sheet.pdf You try...

How many semi-trucks have AP2 cars run into? You can counter silly arguments with equally silly arguments.

Ugg this is terrible part of the new MCU2 design. With MCU1 the center console could freeze to its heart content and not affect your speedometer / ap indications. Now with MCU2 the instrument cluster is tied to the center console and every center console software crash will take out your driving...

It also makes charging rather expensive. You have to pay the parking fee, a "station fee" of $6/hr after 2 hrs free, and $.25 per kwh.

Normal stuff. Currently autopilot does not know how to recognize/classify/display the things your talking about (cars/bicycles going perpendicular to you) so seeing irregularities or funny car images is normal. Also the delay between AP determining if the car is in your lane is normal, it will...

If this is the Supercharger of the future sign me up. It is a great location, with plenty of capacity, and a great lounge. Wifi, restrooms, and a barista, what more can you ask for. If you haven't seen this Supercharger you should check it out. Matt

Right, but it is it reasonable to expect them to shutdown an existing Supercharger, and just move it to a new location a few blocks over in the current "nicer" neighborhood? No it is not, neighborhoods change, and what one person feels is "sketchy" is another persons comfortable and the could...

Tesla has the information to take action? Take action on what? I find this whole concept absurd. Tesla cannot control the people who are hanging out in nearby parking spots, nor guarantee that you will be 100% safe. That isn't their job. Nor can they control how different individuals "feel"...

I got this for my car this morning also. Think Tesla was doing some backend server work.

This comes to mind: Power Steering falling apart

I don' understand this at all. The IRS itself says the form is not ready. Turbotax is following the rules set by the IRS. But instead you would go to a company this is NOT following the rules, and possibly have tax return implications down the road? Personally it reassures me that TurboTax is...

Not sure if it will help but one of my annoying little rattles was coming from the silver ring on the Drive Mode selector on the right side of the steering wheel. I was incredulous that was the source of it, but I put a tiny piece of tape on the back side over the silver ring and no rattle...

As for the 3M VHB tape, here is a classic video of it Matt
