    Tesla navigation on a pc

    Hi, Since I'm new i might missed it. Is it possible to navigate on a pc like being in a tesla. I want to plan an holdiday and would like to know my route options using super chargers... Preferably sitting behind my computer instead of being in my car... Maybe there's a special google maps...

    Does speeding save time? Speedr - Android app that measures time saved speeding.

    Hey TMC, I just created an account to share an Android app I made that Tesla enthusiasts may be interested in. It's called Speedr, it measures how much time, or how little time, you save by speeding. Not trying to sell anything, it's free and has no ads. Check it out and let me know your...

    What's wrong with navigation recently? (Jan 2017-ish)

    The navigation / trip planning in my new Model X is all kinds of stupid. I did not have this issue in the Model S I traded. I assume navigation directions come online which means others may have similar problems (versus it being an isolated problem with my car). Is it firmware? Is it a problem...

    How do you calculate Supercharging for roundtrips when destination has no charging option?

    How do you guys calculate Supercharging for roundtrips? I can put the destination on the Navigation and the system does a good job of showing how much I should Supercharge in order to make it to my destination. But I need to also to go back and the destination has no charging options. What are...

    GPS off by 65 miles

    yesterday, my 2016 Model S 60D GPS began showing the car moving in the opposite direction as I was commuting home form Manhattan to NJ. Is shows the car now in Oyster Bay, Long Island. The app shows the same. This messes up my air suspension auto raising, homelink and the speed limit signs...

    Tesla Model S 90D first week (Dec. 18-25, 2016) impressions (a long post)

    Forward: I was expecting a lot from the car and have not been disappointed. I’ve been lusting after one since I saw an early prototype in Menlo Park. What follows are stream of consciousness thoughts (in no particular order). Pleasant surprises: Automatic location-based garage door open and...

    Can you send an address to your nav without using the calendar?

    I know that the calendar can be used to put a destination in the navigation but I'm wondering if there is a way to just send an address to the car before you get in your Tesla?

    Tesla navigation too "aggressive"?

    I've been driving my MS for about ten weeks now... I've noticed that the onboard navigation system seems a bit too "aggressive" in finding the shortest route. Recently in Northumberland County, PA the navigation system sent me down a couple of poorly maintained dirt roads... roads better...

    Navigation/ maps in no cell signal areas (newbie here)

    Question for you experts while I (impatiently) await my CPO. How does NAV work in cell phone "holes"? Specifically, can I bring up the built-in maps on the big screen to find a detour if needed in a cell phone hole? (I have lots of no cell signal areas near me, FYI) I know the built in...

    The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (Texas edition)

    So I have to tell you, I'm more than a little disappointed with the Tesla Nav. On a recent trip from Oklahoma to Houston, I discovered that Texas and its preference for service roads over cloverleafs can mess up the fastest route. TL;DR; The southbound navigation to the Corsicana and North...

    Green/red lines in navigation

    At some point since v8, I've noticed that the navigation screen sometimes has green (and occasionally red) lines on roads. Is there any documentation for this? I searched the forums, but didn't find anything. I haven't spent much time trying to figure it out, but it seems that the red...

    Why are there errors in the Tesla charger network database?

    So, I've looked, fairly intensely, at the Tesla 'findus' web-pages to figure out to what extent I can count on them. My sampling suggests that there are 1-2% errors in their data. They are not alone. The Alternate Fuels Data Center (operated by the U.S. government) has at least one GPS...

    Route planning and supercharger issue

    I've had my 2013 Model S for 9 months now and have put 15000 miles on her. About 6000 of those miles were during two long road trips with another coming up in late November. What I have learned is that the charge estimator works really really well except in places where the speed limit on the...

    Navigation gone nuts

    I don't know if this was caused by the last update the other day or not but the navigation is plotting totally incorrect paths. It wants me to go the wrong way on one way streets and goes to the wrong location. The map shows the correct street names but ends on a totally different street than...

    Navigation initializing ?

    My navigation has been initializing for more than a day now. The gps had no idea where I was yesterday. Earlier today the gps was the just black but now I get this (see pic) and the circle just spins.. Any ideas?

    Force a one way trip in navigation

    Hello all! I've researched a bit and can't find a way to force the nav to treat my trip as "one-way" to a destination. Inevitably, I get re-routed to an out-of-the-way SuperCharger because the car thinks I need enough charge for a round trip journey. Thanks in advance for any tips!

    How to force navigation to use a certain highway?

    If I use GPS to go on a long trip but I want to make sure the trip uses a certain highway, how do I force the trip route to use this highway?

    Missing Home Link Button?

    Hi All, I'm so excited to be the second owner of a 2008 Tesla Roadster #417. I was born to drive this car!!! I was hoping to tap some long time owner expertise on an issue I have. My home link option is missing so I can't set it to open my garage door. I have the navigation system and I read...

    Notre Dame Supercharging Navigation Issues

    Hello All, I was wondering if anyone on here has ever used the Notre Dame, IN supercharger. I found that the GPS kept trying to navigate me on a bike path, as the road was incorrect in the area and the GPS could not process it correctly. I did find that the Google Maps version showed the...

    Maps Update

    It's been quite a while since I've seen it , but I got a "you're maps are now up to date" notification. I wasnt on wifi at the time. This is my 1st notification in this car. It's an 89k VIN. Last car was an 34K VIN

    Timeline for Dash/CPU update?

    Have there been any rumours or information on when the model S may see an increase in processing power for the central dash/touchscreen? Is this maybe already happening? I'm mostly curious if I were to buy a new 70D, am I getting the same (now ~3year old) cpu running the car? I've heard a few...

    Navigating to addresses of contacts

    Hi, I finally took delivery of my Model S last week and so far everything is working great, but there's one thing I didn't figure out how to do yet: I read somewhere if you go to a contact in the phone app, you should see the contact's address and be able to navigate to it. I have many contacts...

    Cellular communication in the UK

    I'm really annoyed that my Model S spends most of its time on the Edge network whilst in the vicinity of the southern part of the M25 in UK. Whilst on Edge I cannot use TuneIn or Rdio. I also find the navigation screen to be grey boxes (although on the dash I still have a display). Does anybody...

    De Trip Planner is (nog) te primitief.

    Stel: je moet HEEN en TERUG naar een verre bestemming, bijvoorbeeld van thuis naar Parijs en terug. De Tesla-Tripplanner geeft je dan enkel de route- en laadinformatie naar je bestemming in Parijs maar niet die terug. Hoe moet je dan een round trip estimate vragen? [/COLOR] Als ik het systeem...

    Navigation shows exit numbers

    Hi! Forgive me if I just noticed this week, but when navigating it shows the exit numbers of all the exits along the route. Is this new with 6.0? I'm on 1.67.43. Thanks. -m

    Problems with navigation system just stopping with no apparent reason

    Since Tuesday of this week I've been having weird nav problems. I'll give the car an address (saved favorite, or whatever...doesn't matter) and navigation will start. A few seconds later nav will just stop. The trace of the route disappears on the giant screen and the turn by turn disappears...

    Gracious members and a question about navigation

    This is my first post and I would be remiss if I did not mention that most of the members of the club are gracious in their responses no matter how silly a comment, question, or concern may seem. I often don’t like to read comments on news or other forums because of the absurdity of people these...

    NAVIGATION: Google Maps OK, Nav needs update

    2 years ago a new freeway opened in our area. I thought I'd try the navigation today. The Navigation directions did not show the freeway even though the Google maps displayed the road. Repeatedly told me to take another route. Anyone update the navigation maps system ?. Not sure if this is...

    INRIX Traffic Data for Tesla Model S

    Model S: A Chick Magnate!

    Dear Teslamotorsclub Forum, The following story is true. I’m willing to swear, in fact, on everything I hold sacred: my Model S, the newly released MS iPhone app, my retirement savings (87% in TSLA stock), and the success of SpaceX’s future expedition to Mars. I still can’t believe something...
