    "Refresh" Headlights, separate and repair DRL?

    I've gone through a couple replacements and the last replacements (one smashed by a deer, one replaced due to burned out eyebrow -- finally bit the bullet) are revision G. So far so good but it's only been a few months. Time will tell! It does seem like this is a clear defect and perhaps should...

    Alerts PM_w041_dasMIA & APS_w134_appMia

    I have these ones: PM_w041_dasMIA -- Pedal Monitor Warning: DAS CAN node is missing. THC_d0021_RCCMActuator -- Cabin climate control requires service THC_w0197_RCCMIntakeAct I believe the THC_d0021_RCCMActuator one is because my tri-cameras behind the rear-view mirror were just replaced and...

    Left headlamp out, but comes on quickly when putting fuse back in?

    Hi! We had a run-in with a deer which pushed the driver's side headlamp back a bit, breaking the top and side mounting point. The headlamp also got a decent crack in it. It was still working though, until a couple days ago when it stopped working. But just tonight, both headlamps were out. I...

    Entertainment button greyed out

    This happens to me all the time when we stop to charge (in park, plugged in). The "menu" button on the bottom of the screen does nothing when clicked. Rebooting fixes it. '16 S with MC2 upgrade and FSD 'puter.

    Model S - Deep Blue Metallic w/Stealth Wrap

    FWIW I am nowhere near a peacock. :-) Do it for you, not for them!

    Model S - Deep Blue Metallic w/Stealth Wrap

    Dang, I typed up a response but wasn't logged in apparently, and lost it! Going for it again... It'lll be 5yrs in December and the wrap is still mostly flawless. After a wash it looks amazing, and the flecks in the factory paint show through and catch the sun. I still get comments on the wrap...

    "Refresh" Headlights, separate and repair DRL?

    Same issue for me on my refresh Nov. '16 S. I've had them replaced before, at least once but I think twice. I am out of warranty now. Wondering if there's any new info around on how to fix the eyelid.

    Model Y - Hands On

    This really isn't an indicator of backlog, we don't know how Tesla is choosing the lucky ones. E.g. many of us have actual first-day reservations, but haven't been invited to pick-up yet.

    "sentry mode disabled due to sentry system error" ?

    Happening for me on my Model S AP2 / MCU1 2019.32.11.1 (v10). Seems to only happen when the car has been charging for ~3-4 hours.

    Customer Service Nightmare at Tyson's Corner, Virginia

    Tysons does not want you to drop off your car early because they have pretty much zero parking. Their lot is always full and there is no accessible parking nearby. That's why they ask you to not drop off early. I've had my car serviced at Tysons multiple times. I'd say overall it's a good...

    Supercharger - Tysons, VA

    Hey, there's a bunch of electrical work going on behind the Walmart off of Westwood Center Drive. Not saying it's related, but hey, here are some pics ... I know they are adding chargers (non-Tesla) in the garage on the same level as the Walmart entrance / escalator, but theses pics are on the...

    Supercharger - Leesburg, VA

    Wow, I'm really out of the loop on this! Last I recall was the Lucketts, VA gas station rumor/plan. Great to see the progress since I last looked into this -- almost done! I drove by this morning just for fun, same state as previously reported (as expected). FWIW I think it would have made more...

    2170 cells in Model S/X prognostications welcome here

    Why couldn't the cells be stored horizontally instead of vertically, in a honeycomb pattern, for instance?

    Returning Tesla M3 after awful delivery experience

    Yes, that is BS. I still think you should have kept the car, but does sound like whomever you were dealing with was not being honest or clear with you. You should run it up the flag pole. Contact the manager of the store where you took delivery, then get the regional manager's contact info, etc...

    Returning Tesla M3 after awful delivery experience

    That's not clear at all. As far as I know from your OP, you got a paint-upgraded car (e.g. an inventory car they were trying to move) for no extra charge. It had a couple scratches which Tesla surely should fix and you didn't get the Supercharging credits, which Tesla also should fix. Those...

    My theory why the S/X will never get sentry mode

    Makes sense, thanks.
  21. JoshM

    My theory why the S/X will never get sentry mode

    @verygreen -- in your opinion, then, would you suggest that my AP2.0 S would be compatible with dashcam and/or sentry mode once I'm upgraded to HW3?

    New Tires - Sumitomo HTR A/S P02

    I'm looking at these now, what's your final opinion after having them for ~5 months?

    USB-C Cable available for dock

    No problem. Just need to trim the USB-C end down a bit with a razor knife. Really easy.

    USB-C Cable available for dock

    There a better/new cable on Amazon now which is right-angled at the USB-A connector as well. Select the "90°TypeC-3.0 Left" option...

    Model S - Deep Blue Metallic w/Stealth Wrap

    I'd give them a call. I bet they could touch it up first. Otherwise, I guess it only matters if you're getting a transparent/translucent wrap like Xpel.

    Model S - Deep Blue Metallic w/Stealth Wrap

    (PM reply sent but replying here for posterity...) It still looks great, when it's clean. I don't think it looks any different than when it was newly applied. And yes, I still love it and am happy I did it. All I get is compliments. In the 15 months I've had it, only ONE person has said...

    Outdoor charger enclosure

    Wirenut -- what'd you end up doing? Any pics? In the same situation and like the solution linked in #2 here.

    Change from alcantara to cloth on PUP???

    How? Where did Tesla promise to use Alcantara in the headliner for the Model 3? Pretty sure everyone is overreacting here...

    Change from alcantara to cloth on PUP???

    Just admit you're wrong. It does not matter if the material is natural or synthetic. What matters is the properties. Is one smoother or softer than the other? Is one more durable? Is one easier to clean and maintain? If an average person sees/touches one and then the other, is there a clear...

    Buying or selling a Powerwall 2? A warning...

    I think that's how it should be. They are meant as a special award for your referrals. If you turn around and sell them, that just seems dirty and ungrateful, IMO. If an award doesn't apply to you, then maybe just don't accept it.

    Non-cash referral prizes in Virginia

    Tesla customer service is telling me that this Xmas will be an Xmas where my son does not get the Radio Flyer Tesla Model S I promised him. I was following up on my referral prize (been a couple of months now) and here is what they said: Your state does not allow referral participation due to...

    75 and 75D variants increased performance from July 1st - software and hardware improvements?

    Where do I get my full option listing? I'm getting the performance upgrade on the 1st so I could have a before and after list of options.

    How to add a HEPA filter to your non-Bioweapon facelift Model S!

    I assumed that the Bio Weapon Defense mode button actually diverted air flow through the upgraded filter. Has anyone verified that this is or is not the case? (I did not get to watch the video yet.)

    I think they'd be under the same "move when you're charged" rule/restriction as any other Tesla, though, so hopefully not a problem!

    Supercharger - Grasonville, MD

    Impressive how fast they work! This will be a great stop on the way to Rehoboth from NoVA (except the Rehoboth SC should be up by our next trip -- very much looking forward to that, and any info on anyone has about it).

    Supercharger - National Harbor, MD

    Hilarious. The one time we went there I was lucky to find a non-ICEd EV spot and had to strettttch the cable to reach my car. So frustrating! (We did win $300 after spending only $5, though!)

    Rehoboth - Anyone know if the chargers are working?

    (Note: Copied text from here: Charging DC to Rehoboth Beach Del ) I know this is old but thought I'd comment anyway. There's a new SC going in Rehoboth but has not started construction yet AFAIK: Rehoboth Beach, DE | Tesla Also, there is one just to the East of the Bay Bridge (Queenstown, MD)...

    Accessing AP2.0 Cameras

    Agreed, it does seem silly when we already have 8 cameras around the car. The cameras are not usable directly. They are also not full-color, but gray/red instead. Would be great it Tesla would let us view/record them but it doesn't seem likely.
