First time they scratched my sunroof. After 2 months they came to replace it. The new one does not sit flat and was uneven, so they ordered another. A few months later they install that one, and it doesn't fit right either. He said the next step they would have to tear up my roof to replace...

Got my S in 2017, have taken it to the service center twice (once for first annual service, second for the MPU upgrade). They damaged my car both times and overall level of service.. well.. sucked. Have never been back, avoiding it at all costs.

Despite their lousy service, I would already have one if it had a wheel and stalks. That stupid yoke keeps me away.

Yes OP, just know that most rational readers agree with your observations, and see the same things you are seeing with the ridiculous responses to your rational inquiry.

Ill keep it short. I race, have for years. I have a 2017 S, and love it. I really wanted the Plaid for the 0-60 speed. I can afford one... But.. The yoke is dangerous, especially in a slide/spin/Emergency handling situation. As someone said, of the total range was like a formula car, it...

I am trying to help a friend buy a used Model S. We found a 2017 with the jumpseats (blech). My question is if we remove the jumpseats (several posts on how to do that), how do we cover the hole/compartment where the seats remain? Has anybody done this removal, and if so, what did you do...

Me too... I had leaned back on it and it "clicked", and then was stuck. I just played around with it gently, and it finally found it's alignment and retracted. Whew... been fine ever since.

I love my 2017 Tesla, best decision I ever made. I love my Enhanced AutoPilot too... but if anyone is actually trying to defend the way FSD was marketed and sold, in my opinion, they are blind followers! It was so obviously over hyped. Being in the industry, I knew for sure there would be not...

I have all you mention EXCEPT the 'P' (but do have red brakes). also have PPF and 7yr ceramic coat (OptiCoat), and a Reus sound system, a nearly flawless exterior (no micro scratches, garaged, pampered, the works). And after looking at Plaid, I know why you want the 2017.. I'm holding onto this...

I LOVE MY 2017 Model S... so much so I am taking great care of it (still looks brand new). Want to get 8-10 years out of it. But if I do need to buy another car... It' won't be a Tesla. Why? Simple, the new interiors suck. I love my model S, maybe I am old school, but I like having an...

Reboot worked! Thanks

yes, did try rebooting. Looked for a thread, couldn't find one

I don't know if this is just part of the upgrade, but 2 things I have noticed right away after getting my MCU2 upgrade. a) The proximity graphic is no longer on the driver dash, but only on the main console screen (annoying) b) The proximity sensors and graphics don't automatically engage when...

I coated my turbines inside and out with Cquartz DLux, 3 coats. It's a bit more heavy duty for wheels. They still look brand new, clean up easy!

LOL.. OP, you don't like it, that's your personal view. You are trying to pretend it is an objective argument. I LOVE IT, I absolutely can see through it, and look up often (AP is on). In fact, cloudy skies look amazing through it, so much so that I have several pictures I have taken through...

I purchased the same nail dryer that was shown from Amazon, and modified it to be a enclosed chamber, with foil to direct all the light. The real win however, is that I also found 260nm 9w bulbs that fit this nail dryer, and now I have an N95 Mask Decontimination chamber. These are the same...

I don't know if it was an update or something else, but suddenly the media player no longer offers USB! I have 2 different USB sticks with music on them, and when I insert either of them.. well.. .nothing happens! Apologies if this has been posted, I did not see it. Any clues?

a) My OptiCoat warranty comes with an annual inspection and "decontamination wash", at no cost to me b) I have had warranty work done twice, OptiCoat fully stands behind their products, I think others do as well c) If you are not seeing a benefit washing your car, your issue may lie with what...

This is pretty funny actually.... just when I thought you meant "Phantom braking", you say "breaks down at random", which would indeed imply you meant "Breaking". hmmm

This is a very bad idea... smallest particles of dirt on the car, then you wipe with a towel... swirls/scratches. I use this -- after using a RYOBI battery powered leaf blower for a long time, this changed my life!! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002SPCGC/ref=psdc_15718661_t3_B07NQYV9V5

The cheap ones (I got some) are cheaply made, they are not cast aluminum, but coated plastic. they have worked fine for me for the most part, but the coating on them is uneven and if you look closely you can tell they are plastic.

Actually, most... very much most.

Reus FTW... best money I ever spent

I bought this: https://www.amazon.com/Metro-MB-3CD-Master-Blaster-Motorcycle/dp/B0002SPCGC/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=master+blaster+car+dryer&qid=1578513210&sr=8-4 Combined with my water filtration system (for aquariums), I will do my final rinse with the filtered water, then just blow it dry. Love it!

very risky... any tiny particle of dirt flung up onto the surface before you dry could result in scratching. If you purely 'dab', then I guess you should be ok... but I am paranoid about this.

Good to know... wish I had read this before I replaced all 4 with the Conti's just last month. :-(

Who did the sound proofing? I have the 21" turbines, and on CA's rough roads, the road nose is terrible. I'd like to soundproof the car, but not sure how to go about it

Sure, of course. Just PM me, maybe meet at a supercharger sometime.

Haven't posted on this thread in awhile... but will continue to say how I think the 4kish I spent on my Reus Audio system is the best money I have ever spent. A huge part of the joy of getting into my car for my awful commute each day is the Audio System. It's like pairing a fine wine to a...

I posted mine already (GSNOMAS), but realized another I could have gone with for here in Silicon Valley... C02 404

Dear gawd, I'd never let Costco at my wheels with their impact wrenches. I actually do my tires myself, I take them into our local shop (who works on many higher end cars) to ensure they have the right equipment for working on alloy rims (I have the 21" turbines). NEVER EVER should an air jack...

I've had the 21" turbines for 2.5 years now, no problems whatsoever. Ride is rough, and they are noisier, but the 19 and 20" "turbines" cannot compare to the look of the 21" ones. my opinion of course. I just love the look!

I often get this, and have found no workaround (rebooting did squat for me)

I need to leave my car at the detail shop before they are open. They suggested I leave my fob in the frunk, and lock the car with the app, and then when they call me later I can unlock it. Does this work? My experience as been that if the fob is in the vicinity, I can press on a door handle...

Thanks for the leads!

It's time for me to do this, and I don't want to DIY. Is there a good shop where I can both get a good dashcam and get it installed? Or should I order the dashcam and get it installed? Recommendations please. Thanks!

Maybe you "butt-navigated"

Wow, that is nicely done actually... maybe it's not so ugly afterall, actually that downward sloped seam adds some 'fast' to the look of the car

Yeah, that went through the clearcoat on the last shot... that sucks. Maybe you can buff 80% of it if it is not so deep (can't tell), but even then, you will not want to buff so much that you eliminate it completely, that would be risky. I'd take it to a pro.

Dang... looks like I need to trade my car in and get a new one so I can play Beach Buggy!!

I have the yellow... only see it in sunlight, and it is a very minor annoyance. For those who enjoy fighting and proving Tesla is "wrong" and catching them in their lies, well have at it -- whatever brings you joy. Not worth it to me, I find it more fun to drive the car, listen to the tunes on...

I tried to find these on Amazon, and when I set the filter to Tesla Model S (2017), it says there are no results found. Which SKU did you purchase?

Unless you are in an elevator in China... buttons work like toggles there (on/off)

Service center told me to turn off Sentry AND remove my USB stick (with my audio files). It worked, and it has remained enabled. He also mentioned it needs to go through a sleep cycle if it does become disabled. Engineers are working on a fix, obviously a software bug. With Sentry using all...

Update: Just got off chat with the service center. He said there were some faults registered in the logs based on some system errors (whatever that means), but does not see any indication that I have a real issue -- although he said to keep an eye on it and report if it happens again. I...

I have read a few threads on the "Car needs service, power reduced" error message, which I received yesterday on a warm day after doing some full throttle launches with 4 adults in the car, but could not really ascertain what applies in my situation. I let the car cool down, charged it up, and...

I smell an agenda. I have leaned against the wheel in slow traffic, and just having my weight on the wheel, shifting a bit here and there as car stops and goes, and it totally defeats the nags. I don't get your refusal to accept a very logical explanation, but whatever, everyone has a keyboard.

Got me some of this, thanks for the recommendation.

AFter getting my most recent update with "Sentry Mode", supercharger speed, and auto warmup when navigating to a supercharger, I went in and giddily told my wife... "best decision I ever made to buy this car". Seriously, if I had gone with the Audi S7, it be the exact same car I purchased 2...

Sorry if I missed the thread on this, but I just got the latest update, and when I go to Release Notes (What's new in this release) It is just a big empty box. No content. Version 2019.8.3 da116a6 Anybody else have this?
