    Rear trunk won't open

    Stuck trunk here, 2016 S. Got to the two mechanisms. Can feel that the actuator has wound around enough to begin clinching the lock, but not fully. Still 1\4 inch space for full trunk closure. I can push the lock mech lever to full engage and close that trunk gap, but I cannot move lever...

    Tesla Broken into - twice in two weeks, weak spot?

    Could we not add a simple broken glass alarm? I found several add on units that are cheap. DEI 506T Audio Sensor - Glass Breakage Detector - for car alarms Would need to tie into the alarm, or just tap into the open door circuit, so the alarm triggers an open door state. Still its likely it...

    Got an Alignment done, WOW it was super out of wack

    Same problem on a MS Dec2016 delivered. Right out of the delivery room, pulls to the right. One month to get a service appointment, and there for five days. Get it back and then it pulled to the left as much as it had been to the right. Two weeks later service picks it up from my driveway...

    Charging spots are not parking spots!

    I backed the wheel over the cord to reduce the chance someone might try to steal it.

    Charging spots are not parking spots!

    SFO has banks of 120V outlets located near the elevators of its long term parking structure, about 10 spots per floor. Some authorities see the benefit of low cost power plugs for EV parking for days.

    Leaking door seals, 2016 Model S

    Here is an image of my front driver door after a moderate rain and 15min of highway driving in the rain. Water is streaming from the last door seal, above the door sill (not shown). SC could find not issue with the seals. I must agree with oktane, we simply don't have tight sealing of a...

    Leaking door seals, 2016 Model S

    Sorry for the delay, By past the last seal, i mean, if one moves from outside the car to inside the car, you will encounter several seals. The last seal, before one enter the cabin, is the seal that had the final job of locking out, noise, dust, air, and water. Past that seal, you would be...

    Slacker - no LTE signal

    I am continuing to experience, full LTE bars, then drop to zero, then back. The streaming may or may not restart properly. Its maddening to have such spotty LTE signal in a dense metropolitan area, SF bay area. I am bringing it up at the service call tomorrow. J

    Tesla Service, can I drop the car the night before

    Does anyone know if its possible to drop the car off the night before of a scheduled repair service? Its a 9am slot that took a month to get, for wheel alignment, trim fixing, LTE radio issues. I would like to drop the car off Sunday night, so I need not battle the traffic Monday morning...

    Leaking door seals, 2016 Model S

    With my new (Dec 2016) Model S, 90D, after our much appreciated Pacific rain storms, I am finding excessive amounts of water inside all four door frames. Water is soaked into the final rubber seal before the cabin, so much so that its dripping out of the seals after I wipe them all down...

    Bluetooth Phone Call Quality

    I also have terrible voice quality, using the Bluetooth speaker phone. Apple speaker phone is perfect on the same call, but over the Telsa speakerphone, other party hears such dropouts as to inhibit further conversations. Sometimes a useful feature. j

    Blackvue DR650GW-2CH Install

    Thanks for the quick reply. I did read up and find out that the fuse for the 14volt lead by the microphone area, was blown. Replaced fuse 50 with a new 5amp fuse, and good to go. Blackvue working perfectly. now. J

    Blackvue DR650GW-2CH Install

    In a new MS 2016, I am finding that the power at the extra plug taped inside of the microphone grill, is supplying 10volts. I used a PC fan connector with tinned ends, and attached my volt meter. 10.3 volts on wires red and brown, the middle two of the four possible positions. Meter read...

    Food in the Frunk

    I use the Frunk to transport any potentially smell bearing food items such as pizza and cooked chicken, and this totally isolates the smell from the cabin. It was my colleagues idea when she had left overs after a lunch outing. Must preserve new car smell as long as possible.

    New Model S 90D, Max Speed Limitation??? 85mph

    A phone call was all that was needed. It was not in Valet mode, but some sort of out of the factory mode.

    How many bars do you get on your 3G/4G connection?

    My new MS 90D, SF Bay area, is constantly shifting from a few bars to none. At most I have seen four bars transiently. For an LTE connection the speed is dismal. I have asked for service to address this issue, if they cam.

    Anyone upgrade the LED lights on the new Model S?

    I did all the trunk and puddle white lights, along with the four door side reds. Much better brightness, I don't know why Tesla could not use such lights, Especially in the trunk areas.

    New Model S 90D, Max Speed Limitation??? 85mph

    Just got a new 90D. Was a bit surprised when the delivery agent told me the autopilot was not yet software enabled. AutoPilot 2 with full self driving package. Sales guys really sold me on that feature, but never mentioned it had yet to be enabled. Now I find that the max speed it 85mph...
