I feel like an update is in order! I skipped the tender and I was able to jump my MS and get the display on, disconnected from the wall, and into tow mode. The car was towed to Tesla and the diagnosis was: Diagnosed and Replaced HV Battery, 12v Auxiliary Battery removed and replaced. verified...

Updating the thread... I did finally get the 12V to wake up long enough to disconnect the house power and disable 'walk away lock' so i don't have to jump it again when the tow comes tomorrow.

Hello, thanks for the reply. I was able to get into the nosecone but did not have success jumping. My first attempt I plugged a battery tender into the wall, and started hearing a 'clicking' sound, and that freaked me out, so I unplugged it. Here's a clip, I'm wondering if this is bad or if I...

I got back from a three week vacation, during which time my MS was garaged, plugged in, and locked. It will not wake up, nor will it even unlock if I put the keyfob in the manual location on the passenger side windshield. In the app, it said "last seen 7 days ago" and at that time the charge was...

Edit: I found a few posts saying the 12V battery could be the problem, but also ones saying it's the HV pack, which would be under warranty. The quote comes from a "remote diagnosis" and an estimated 1hr of on site diagnosis.

So, this seemed 'off' to me, and as a result I wanted to post. My car stopped charging suddenly over the weekend and I had all sorts of alerts about low voltage, a bunch of "BMS" (battery management we all know) fault codes, and the car would not start. It seemed to recover about 15 minutes...

I apprciate Barry's comment about the storage of the presets. I noticed that after an August software update, they reversed themselves again so I wanted to post an update to see if anyone else has thoughts?

When I stored my radio presets they ended up in reverse order because, well that's just how they store. I finally went in and reordered them to the way I like them, and they reverted. So I deleted them all and reset with the scroll wheels, and added them after the reboot. That worked for less...

I'm in a different boat. I agree about wanting not to skimp but I need an all-season option, and this is all I'm finding for the 245/35/21 range. What would you or someone else recommend if not these?

Thread necromancy! It's now 2019 but I've moved from Phoenix to Seattle so it's my first foray in having to avoid summer tires. I'm due for tires and the timing is good with the weather changes. I'm actually not staggered, 245/35/21 all around, but the only all-season I see are a brand I've...

Hey all, My job is moving me up to the Seattle area from the Phoenix area. Here in AZ, owing an EV comes with some serious incentives: vehicle license tax (similar to the RTA excise) is only $30-$50 a year instead of depreciation based, and also access to HOV lanes when solo -- similar to CA's...

Back in 2016 I bought my car as "new" with 40000mi on it. I was told it was demo fleet but presets and someone's Bluetooth settings were in mine too. Until it's sold they can use it as a loaner car (or maybe even a sales manager). With even a few days in a loaner or rental car I'll set up my...

Has anyone else been suffering this annoyance? I'm on an AP1 (2014 build) car and when V9 installed my presets were reversed. Not in a numerical order, or random but P6,5,4,3,2,1 instead of P1, 2,3,4,5,6. At first I shrugged it off as 8 to 9 was a major update to the media player and I could...

I want to scream at Tesla for having a "Smartphone" mentality when it comes to UI. As an avionics s/w engineer, we try to avoid major changes unless there's a darn good reason - and good reasons don't include "Clean lines", or "Unification across product families". Easy to reach and press...

Who asked for the mirrors to auto-unfold when the handles present, instead of when the doors were opened? That came up earlier this year and is awful.

Thanks for replying. Tesla fixed it while I waited the next day. Probably just grabbed a tube of Elmer's ;) but better them than me!

Today I experienced the nag not clearing with my hands on the wheel. So I jiggled the steering wheel and it still nagged!! That is the most frustrating part b/c I tend to keep my hand rested on the wheel as we're supposed to, but it still thought I didn't have my hands present and the car never...

tonight I found that the rubber piece on the inside of my charge door fell off. There are two pins for alignment but they don't hold it in place. I'm under warranty but the question for everyone is -- how big a deal is this? Knowing the Tempe SC they might need a few weeks to get a new door or...

Sold!!

I missed the transition to the HPWC by a day and Tesla isn't budging. Looking to sell for $400 or best offer.

Sorry, I'm not being obtuse I swear. I already have an "Acceleration" section with Sport & Insane. The article made it sound like those are changing to "Chill/Normal" but you're saying it is a new option.

I already have Sport & Insane for that. Is this for non-P cars? Or are they renaming the beloved Insane and Ludicrous modes to "Normal"?

According to Electrek, the next software update is going to change the acceleration modes. Tesla releases new software update with ‘Chill’ feature to soften crazy acceleration and more Why would they do this? Is it for non P cars only?

My friend used my referral link to buy an MS, and I was e-mailed a code for the kids car after my friend got delivery. But the app and website says that I should have the option of car or HPWC. Has anyone gotten the HPWC offer yet? And while on the subject does anyone know how to reach the...

New problem - last night I wrote about how it, after a reprogram, already failed once. Today when i got home, the door opened about a foot and stopped, as if the car sent a double signal.

I had XM for free during Labor Day weekend on my MS (I have a subscription on my Infiniti), and the interface was atrocious. I've never felt like adding the Telsa to my membership, since Slacker is free, but after trying the XM, the Media Player is enough to keep me from even considering it.

By the way, I didn't realize that this is the X forum. ^^ My post above is for a 2014 Model S.

Yeah, no problems eating in my car. I also park next to other people, which surprises one of my coworkers who parks his Mustang all the way in the back.

Just adding in to report that mine's been acting up for a while. I even reprogrammed it (which was an ordeal, read on if you want more detail) but it has already become intermittent again since Thursday. Now - for those who are curious, what went wrong trying to reprogram it? At first it would...

Thanks, I'll head over there now so we can keep this thread talking about the STUPID mirror fold change.

I've been having Homelink issues and finally had to reprogram it. Is there a bug I should be reporting?

I'd like to see the mirrors go back to only unfolding when a door is opened!!! (Reference: Notable change in 17.34 (folding mirror routines)) And if they aren't going to fix the artwork to be correct, I'd like the ability to turn it off. A radio station I listen to, in the evening, becomes...

Good to know, I have only SC'ed once and it was before idle. Not a bad point, about the meter, although as someone else already pointed out, the car's charging time is variable. Idle fee is sort of like overloading a parking meter to guarantee some extra time. I'm not really complaining, I...

A friend used my referral and the app says I will have the choice of the toy car or a wall charger. You sure you can only get the toy? Oh and when can I expect to actually redeem this? Is it based on when he has his vehicle delivery?

I get why it's 5 minutes, but if I was trying to get a bite to eat while charging I wouldn't expect to need to have my phone out the whole time and a 5 minute warning can be tough if you need to wait on a check and get back. 10 minutes is a better number I would say. Better yet, a tier. 10...

I wouldn't be interested as a customer (especially knowing I'd be buying a salvage title), but as an academic exercise I'd follow a thread about it! :)

My 2008 BMW 335i did it too (but my 2013 G37 doesn't). There's also no way to re-order the favorites short of deleting and readding them in the order you want. Welcome to Tesla infotainment!

Good idea, I just sent the following letter:

Seriously - why did they break something that was working fine for years? It's almost as if one engineer wanted his car to unfold with unlock, so he pushed a patch and nobody internally was against it. I jumped from .32 to .36, and this change to the mirrors is really annoying. Like so many...

How can I tell if my P85D's "Software Update Available" is this cf44833? If it is, I won't plan on installing it because I love the heavy regen braking.

It isn't wax, but I have been using Blackfire Wet Diamond for years. I love it - goes on easy and lasts longer than a wax. It doesn't have the same depth as a wax but it has a nice gloss. I've topped the BWD with wax before!

They can't even keep door handles in stock. In fact, parts availability is my biggest concern with Tesla's expansion into the mass market. My unit, meanwhile, is having issues tuning the radio sometimes, and yesterday hard-reset itself without input right as I turned the car on. Not sure it's...

I am disappointed by the changes. I understand going Lean and reducing options, but a $5000 cold weather package is pretty lame. And more than lame is the "vegan leather". I've sat on leatherette and vinyl and you stick and sweat way more than natural leather. But conversely I find a luxury car...

I think there's a problem with the car. Mine sits out in the Arizona sun, without Overheat protection, no tint, and no windshield shade. It boots just fine.

Thanks for confirming it's new design. My car is CPO and has 50k miles I thought it might have indicated a low battery or something in the sensor itself. I watched my own video again and noticed that the blinking stops when the tire pressures are updated for the first time, so it's sort of like...

It used to be that all the indicators were a solid light when I turned the car on. Now the TPMS light blinks. Tire pressures are fine and I just noticed the behavior today, a few days after the 17.26.17 update. Is this a problem? Or a change. I made a video:

Have you updated your software recently? Is there an option to delete a pairing?

Any negative surprises, like when AP stopped going over the speed limit? Does your bluetooth still work fine? I'm hesitant to be an "early adopter" of the software these days, consistent with me not updating my phone apps every week.

Sometimes but not every time, if I go out to the car and my wife was the last driver, the displays switch to my profile but the seat and mirrors don't move. Then I have to click my name and choose "Restore" to get it to move back into position. Defeats the purpose! I'm wondering who else might...

I registered my car in November, and paid 5.6% (AZ state sales tax) at purchase. I'm told that Gilbert is going to send me a bill for the County + city tax, but they haven't yet. I have the money set aside but am surprised the bill hasn't come yet. What is a typical turnaround time, it's...
