    Model s P90DL avg wh/mi consumption

    As near as I can tell, the original EPA range for your car was approx 253 miles. That works out to about 355 Wh per mile if my math is correct (corrections welcome). I think that test was done with 19 inch wheels, which are more efficient than 21 inch. Perhaps someone has data on the...

    Climate Control Issue - climate keeper not working due to system fault

    Experienced this error today for the first time on my 2017 MS. Will try some re-boots, and the suggested app fix, but IMO it sounds like service center time again.

    Trunk not opening

    Same thing happened to me in mid-March, same parts as @john pane had replaced. Service center repair is necessary. Mine was still under warranty so no charge.

    Mirrors unfold "randomly" in my garage

    On my MS, it seems to be related to how long (deeply?) the car is asleep. If I am in and out several times a day, everything works ok (mostly), but overnight or a day or two at home, when I wake the car the mirrors unfold.

    Supercharger - Edgewater, MD

    Something ironic about this. Before I got my Model S (2017), this was my most used gas station. I live a few minutes away and pass by it often.

    Mirrors unfold "randomly" in my garage

    My 2017 MS, recently upgraded to MCU2 and HW3, is doing the same thing. Autofold as it goes into my garage, then the next morning they are (sometimes) unfolded. So I have the same questions as #COS Blue.

    Is this MCU or eMMC failure?

    Every service center seems to be totally different. I have had great experiences with and service from the Owings Mills SC. I have a March 2017 S and went through 2 MCU 1's and I purchased the MCU 2 upgrade. Sorry to hear your bad experiences.

    Is this MCU or eMMC failure?

    There are lots of threads and posts about eMMC failure, and little or anything you can do to slow it down or stop it except put in a new part. Contact the service center and see about having them replace the failing chip with a new Tegra daughter board.

    Samsung USB 3.1 Flash Drive FIT Plus

    I ordered this USB drive from Amazon: Samsung MUF-256AB/AM FIT 256GB - 300MB/s USB 3.1 Flash Drive. Opened the package, plugged it into the car USB, hit format (which probably was unnecessary). Works just fine. sounds like you are looking at the same one. I am in a 2017 S with MCU2 and HW3...

    Mobile app not connecting

    I kind of doubt that it is the EMMC as I started having this problem after I did the infotainment upgrade and installation of the FSD computer. I'm on 2020.32.3, in a 2017 S100D

    Where to get tires installed near Columbia, MD?

    I had a tire replaced on my 2017 S100D at the Owings Mills Tesla center, both for the reasons you mentioned (concern about traditional tire services not knowing what they are doing with a Tesla) and my previous very satisfactory experiences at Owings Mills. I was able to wait while the work was...

    The problem is that lifetime free supercharging is not in the "Motor Vehicle Purchase Agreement". That document has an "integration" clause that specifically excludes things like oral statements, communications. representations and so on from being included in the purchase agree. This is...

    Hearing Aids and Bluetooth

    I am using Signa hearing aids and an iphone 10. The phone's bluetooth connects to my hearing aids and my 2017 MS without a problem, and operates just fine using the car's microphone and speaker system.

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    Maybe I missed it earlier in the thread, but if you purchase this upgrade, and you have purchased FSD, they will install the FSD computer at the same time. "Owners with Full Self-Driving Capability will receive early access to the Infotainment Upgrade and a complimentary upgrade to the Full...

    Slacker favorites transfer to Spotify?

    So, after 3 years, I finally got tired of the same music on Slacker, and added Spotify. During the past 3 years, I had added a bunch of favorite artists to my Tesla Slacker app. I had assumed that when I added Spotify, these favorite stations would not work in Spotify, but remain only Slacker...

    Using a tire inflator with the cigarette adapter

    Don't know for sure, but from the problems with 3rd party inflators discussed, and the lack of those problems with the Tesla product, I guess that Tesla made sure that it would be compatible with the 12 volt battery in the Tesla. As we do not know exactly what the specs are so you can be sure...

    Using a tire inflator with the cigarette adapter

    I've used the tire inflator that Tesla sells, and it worked fine; it also comes with a can of goop to seal a puncture. It came with my Tesla (as required by Maryland state law). You may wish to consider getting and keeping one of these in your car.

    Model S HW 2.0 to HW 3.0 Upgrades? (Not HW2.5 or Model 3 upgrades to HW3)

    Fantastic and congratulations! Now, please, someone show an upgrade to a 2017 HW 2.0, 2017 MS, FSD paid for in March 2017.

    Supercharger - Annapolis MD

    As of 8 am the 18th, no final inspection approval (still in fail status) and no scheduled inspections show in County records. Don't know a lot about electrical inspections, but don't think getting an approved final inspection would depend on a "software update."

    A Positive Thread

    Me too. Useful information and guidance, tips, etc., seems to have gone down in the 2 years since I got my S. FUD seems to have gone up in proportion. Seriously considering not bothering with this or the Tesla forum anymore.

    Supercharger - Annapolis MD

    A request for final inspection was submitted today, Wednesday, Feb 27th; inspection scheduled for March 4. I don't think BGE will install a meter before a final inspection is passed. I don't know what "They gave us the green light" means, but apparently it does not equal a passed final...

    Cold weather power use

    In my S, it appears to make a big difference if I pre-heat (even for just a few minutes) or if I just jump in and drive. In the morning when I get ready to leave, I pre-heat the plugged in car---Watt/hours are higher, but not hugely. e.g. 370s v. normal 330 or so. When I lave to come home...

    Is the Bio Defense Mide worth it?

    If you or a family member has any of the spring time "Hay Fever" allergies, most certainly so. I do, and the effect is dramatic. I turn it on, and within a few moments, 1) I can breathe and, 2) my eyes stop burning and itching. Better than the anti-histamine the Doctor recommends. It is not...

    I'm paying double for my electricity bill since last month, am I doing something wrong?

    You should also research alternative sources for your electricity. Here in Maryland I found a supplier that had a flat (no TOU) rate that was 1 cent lower that then the lowest TOU rate provided by the utility company.

    Vampire Drain is still a major downside after 5 years

    I understand your frustration, but my experience has been very different. I travel periodically to Europe, and twice now I have left my 2017 S 100D unplugged at JFK airport, in long term parking (outside). The last time, when I arrived and parked, I showed 284 RM at 84% SCO; 13 days later, I...

    Software Update 2018.39 4a3910f (plus other v9.0 early access builds)

    It looks like the blind spot warning works well when using autopilot. But what about during normal, non-autopilot driving? Does it still give you a warning, for example if you turn on the turn signal?

    Car in deep sleep (was HELP - Battery died in airport parking)

    Tesla's left at airports unplugged seem to be a recurrent problem, but one I have not had. I recently (like a week ago) came back to the USA after 12 days in Europe, having left my S100D (unplugged) in the JFK long term parking lot. When I parked the car, it showed 268 rated miles range. When...

    RWD vs AWD

    Supercharger - Annapolis MD

    Stopped by early this morning. Actual chargers are located on what I call 2nd floor, and what is marked as level one. the 8 chargers are all pull-in, and all slightly angled; 6 of 8 seemed(mostly) ready). Did not see any power cables from the mains to the ground floor boxes outside the parking...

    Hold Steering Wheel every 20-25 seconds?

    I've been thinking that this may be a part of the problem. In my area, I do the one hand thing, and the autopilot steering is making frequent adjustments, letting me slightly resist the action, thus letting AP know I have the wheel. Our roads here, even the interstates I drive, are never very...

    Software Update 2018.21.9 75bdbc11

    This is another thing I don't understand--"pressure"-- are you holding the wheel tighter, or are you slightly resisting the automatic movements of the steering wheel while in autopilot. I hold the wheel lightly and resist the movement, and it seems to work on my March 2017 S100D. If you are...

    Software Update 2018.21.9 75bdbc11

    This whole thing about the nags and holding the steering wheel is beginning to bother me. Since I got the update (2days ago) I've only done about 100 miles on AP2, with one nag. I hold the wheel and make sure that I slightly resist the wheel when it wants to turn. Doesn't seem to be to be a...

    Firmware 9 in August will start rolling out full self-driving features!!!

    I suspect that the first clear evidence of the use of the B pillar and/or the 2 side mounted rear facing cameras in the AP2 HW suite will be in one of the 9.+ FSD capabilities.

    Software Update 2018.21.9 75bdbc11

    I saw this over my morning coffee, checked the router and my S100D had downloaded 1.3G last night. Went and checked the car and the update was waiting. Oddly, my Tesla app did not give me an alert that the update was available---I had to go to the car to see and start it.

    Need help from forum members with unrelated issue

    Make a report to the local Police and give them a copy of the video. Our local police practically beg people to make reports of anything remotely suspicious. This helps them in several ways: 1) they allocate patrol resources based on "incidents" including such reports of suspicious activity...

    Supercharger - Annapolis MD

    @Albertson Wait, so, 4 supercharger crates on the first floor (2 stations per crate, total 8 stations) and 4 more crates (8 more stations) on the second floor. So 16 charging stations total? 8 on each floor. . . .? Bigger than I would have expected.

    Rear parking sensors intermittently do not work

    I would recommend posting also on the Tesla forum, if you have not already done so. I was one of the folks who suffered through the failure of the front sensors over this past winter. Try to keep notes on when it works and when it doesn't, e.g firmware version, temperature, time of day...

    Firmware update 2018.14.2

    Got the new navigation this AM. A bit disappointing on my trip to work. Old navigation had no problem and managed to wind its way around a traffic circle near work and kept track of what street it was on. New nav did not know the street name(s), gave me wrong instructions on what exit to take...
