    2018 Model S HW2.5->FSD upgrade - what do you think the challenge is here?

    Per the title, I have a mid-2018, refreshed Model S with HW2.5. I pulled the trigger and bought the FSD upgrade and dropped the car off first thing Monday morning. Service advisor was very nice and he said he'd keep me posted of any issues, which if anything usually occured with firmware...

    2018 Model S - WTH two bolts are on the back of the steering wheel?

    I feel like this is a dumb question but I Googled it and I can't find consistent answers. Some people say they are T25, others T27, and honestly I'm not sure either are fitting in mine. Scroll wheel broke and I'm trying to replace it, but I can't get past step one, LOL.

    MY18 - Welp, finally lost my second and only remaining fob - any recommendations on how to replace?

    Just this. My wife lost one fob about a year ago, and somehow I lost the other today while watching Oppenheimer at the theatre. So bummed. Is service still the only way to get a replacement, and are they still a fortune to replace?

    Suddenly facing "Key not in vehicle, unable to drive" unless it is sitting in rear of the console - WTH?

    So my mid 2018 Model S suddenly started acting differently, as it is refusing to acknowledge the key in the car unless placed in the rear of the console near the USB ports. For 3 years I've been able to have it in my pockets, just about anywhere in the console, on the passenger seat, etc. and...

    Textile seats - how to protect them if they've faded

    So I've had my 2018 Model S for 18 months. About 4-6 months ago I noticed the seat was getting lighter in areas in the driver seat base and over the ensuing months it got worse and there was some on the lower back area as well. I just had my car in for some other service and I had them look at...

    If support never acts on a ticket, how do you escalate to a human being?

    I'm hoping someone here knows how to actually engage someone at Tesla as I'm a Model S owner that is rapidly becoming disillusioned with this situation even though I love my S and I've been looking at adding a Model X/Y next year. In short, my car was ordered 6/12/18 and I should get...

    Question about bottom of spoilers, and - Black or Black CF?

    So I have an '18 standard black Model S that I've had done with a satin black\carbon fiber vinyl chrome delete. Most of the chrome was covered in the satin black, but I had them do the black CF vinyl in some areas like the door handles and the side marker covers, as well as the front louvres...

    Anyone recommend a spoiler install place in Orange County?

    Hey guys, I live in Orange County south of Irvine and I am looking for a place that won't charge a crazy amount to install my model S spoiler. I know there are vids and such out there but I figure with just one chance to get it right I should consider having a pro do this. Thanks for any...

    Um, WTH?! Anyone else ever had the dash leak water into the drivers footwell?

    Wondering if anyone else has seen this, and if so if they know what Tesla is likely going to have to fix here. In short, ran out to grab some takeout in my 2018 75D and I had flip flops on for a change. Pulled into my garage and when I was getting out I felt wetness - not just dampness - near...

    How long does it take service to replace MCU2 units if in stock?

    I'm trying to plan some immediate travel as early as tomorrow, but I have a Tesla loaner because my 2018 75D is in the shop to have the MCU replaced (borked BT during sw upgrade). They mentioned they thought they had the part in stock and then I got a text right at their closing time of 5pm...

    Anyone else have 12.x screw up their BT calls?

    Mid 2018 Model S. CameCfrom 8.6 to 12.x and my phone Bluetooth for calls is now garbage - sounds too distorted to comprehend. Rebooting and repairing haven't fixed it, either. Nor has powering off and on. BT audio for music seems okay. Even if I am the only one, is calling Tesla support the...

    Which would you choose - charge to 100% or supercharge?

    So I've read a lot of threads and I haven't seen an answer to this question. I'm sure it's overthinking it, but if someone can provide a good basis for one option over the other, I'd appreciate it. Here's the deal: I'm in sales and the urban center for my territory is about 80 miles from my...

    Can anyone help me select a tint and shop in SoCal?

    Hey all, so I just got my black Model S two weeks ago and of course it's been near 100 degrees more often than not ever since. I really want to tint the sides and rear, and maybe later I'll do the roof and windshield. I value heat rejection and keeping the color close to black/non-reflective...

    If you had a chance to get an S now vs end of July, would you?

    Let meme start by saying I can't wait to get my S so it's not about not wanting it badly. My otherwise easy answer is complicated by a few concerns particular to right now. One, they've been so focused on 200k and 5k numbers that they may have taken many more risks than usual with quality. They...

    Refresh S60 with AP1? Questions about AP, range upgrade and Cali HOV

    So I'm trying to decide to go well above my budget and order a new 75D (optimistic a good year at work could address the gap) or buy something used. I saw a 2016 Model S 60 today that caught my eye as it has the refreshed front and the door panel indicates a July 16 build date. That said it...
