This is the first time where I feel like Tesla has overstepped demanding we accept software upgrades. I would like my old software back. My car currently looks like Sesame Street and I think I lost some functionality. I inspire hackers the world over to come up with a way to stop updates...

I am starting to suspect these cars go out of alignment very quickly. Every report I've seen looks like the car has TOW out in the rear. My car's been aligned 6 times so far, every report indicates the car has generated TOW out in the rear. My car was aligned less than six weeks ago, driven...

This is from another post Please don't hack off the UMC's wall plug socket without understanding that there is a fourth control pin with the following resistance values to ground: Tesla UMC Plugs Resistance 40 amps - 9.08k ohms 24 amps - 33.16k ohms 16 amps - 75k ohms 12 amps - 140k ohms

I wanted to thank you For articulating this clearly! If the Tesla organization does not address this issue to my satisfaction, I will likely publish a how-to document to cut off the intermediate adapter plug. And attach a 14-50 plug with the proper resister signaling required to make it work...

Sounds very exciting It would be great to see a report of the alignment. So perhaps we could duplicate it in other cities. It would be very interesting to see the setup. My car's been aligned to five times by the factory service center. It's slowly getting better.

Let us start near the beginning. A few assumptions we need to make. This is most likely the largest appliance we leave running/"consuming electricity from the wall" while we are most likely sleeping. This by itself should be alarming. One should ask why didn't we put safety equipment like...

If you were a shade tree mechanic. And wanted to explore a different kind of break experience. I have had an empty box with these part numbers rattling around in my car for 18,000 miles in an early model S the dirt has been reduced substantially. The pedal pressure went up and you need to warm...

My experience with Hankook 21s My car was delivered over a year ago. My car was uncomfortable to drive with Continental tires. It followed the freeway brushed patterns. Very different than my BMW experience. We have learned a lot of things along the road with this car. I elected to try the...

watch out for the tire lug nuts Thank you for a voice of reason out here. I've been running these tires for about 7000 miles now. And I am happy with them because I don't race the car on the streets. Knowledge of the air suspension and Jack mode is all that is special for installing new...

Air suspension option currently has no functionality. Tesla has managed to make the air suspension a costly mistake. In a perfect world the driver would have control over the ride height of the automobile. We don't live in a perfect world and Tesla software does not give you control over...

I reported heating that I thought was unreasonable Tesla adapter system for the UMC since day one has been questionable. I reported heating that I thought was unreasonable when I took delivery of my car October, 2 years ago. My recommendation would be to install smoke detectors over the...

Hold off hold off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bad!!!!!!!!!! software Hold off hold off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tesla has been doing nothing but damage control and poorly written software. I wish we could clone software from your car. The air suspension is virtually...

I think most tesla owners would enjoy the opportunity I think most tesla owners would enjoy the opportunity to speak favorably of their car. Being an engineer in the Los Angeles area. Responsible for changing some of the things in the media community. We should take a moment to...

I have elected to try Hankook Ventus V12 - 245/35/21 UpDate on the tires, my car came equipped with the continentals, after rotating them at reasonable numbers. I have found my tires excessively worn on the inside. Which generates harsh edges that catch on the freeway grooves. The car was very...

The supercharger highway almost let me down completely! The supercharger highway almost let me down completely! Harris Ranch update. Thursday afternoon I arrived to discover 4 of the supercharger bays without power. As you can imagine I was quite alarmed when I plugged in and saw the...

It's great to hear your issues. You are not alone. My car started acting up Monday night. The navigation system would not update. And the cursor would move like you described. I have opened a troubled case with the Los Angeles service center. Showed them the car this morning. They...

Thank you for the photos. For those in the group trying to size up the two red colors. Here is a signature car and a production sunset red, under the tents in Los Angeles.

To take some photos and post! Can we give our fellow tesla enthusiast. To take some photos that really put these two cars in a good light. In Los Angeles the gray car had dark wheels. This is the combination I really wanted to see. The gray color with the natural aluminum wheels. And the...

Hello Larry. I just wanted to confirm at the Los Angeles event. I was able to make the same observations on how the tires situation behaved. And felt it from a driver point of view in both cases. The expected compliance of the 19 inch tire combination. Did not deliver a smoother ride on city...

I am so surprised at tesla indifference to this issue of wheel selection, for such a wonderful car. Elon musk on multiple occasions does not want a compromise automobile. He wants this to be the best experience possible including renewable energy So why are they putting us all through this...
