Hi,


I have a Tesla Model S manufactured in 2014. This is the third time in a row that it has reported errors when leaving the automatic car wash. I'm sure I don't press both pedals at the same time. When I brake, PRND turns red on the dashboard and the following messages appear: DI_u013, DI_u012, DI_u004, DI_f019.

It unlocks, more or less quickly, by pressing the accelerator several times.

After two or three days the problem disappeared and the car ran normally.

Will the 2018 Model S parcel cover fit the 2013 Model S?

Since I replaced one of the rear tire I feel like the steerling wheel is little bit off, where should I go get it fix? will tesla service fix it? or any shop will do the alignment.

Thanks

My slc300 benz has maintenance reminders that display when due. Does MS have any? I haven't read anything about that.

if and when we eight point niners get it will it start with the latest 12.3.6 or whatever is the latest.

Anyone else notice a watt/mile decrease with the firmware update (driving habits are the same)? I know it’s not me because I have a ‘22 and ‘24 MYP and they’re both responding this way. I’m still looking to see if the range has increased given the lower watt/mile consumption. Also noticed that for the first time ever I have green sections (usually orange/yellow) under the graph the depicts energy consumption. Green represents as expected usage (I believe).

A 2014 Model S has come up for sale near to me, from the MOT history it's clear some work needs to be done. Looking to get a rough idea from someone who knows more than me, is it worth taking it on? The car is priced at roughly £7k.

Thanks in advance!

Anyone have any tips, waiting on my delivery for my Model Y and need to provide proof of Insurance for the vehicle to Carvana upon delivery, but I really just want to get insurance through Tesla. Issue is I cannot due to the Tesla App not being set up for the car. Anyone gone through this experience and have any tips for me? Thanks!

I would like to keep the 12V circuit running to power a Dometic refrigerator while camping. From what I can tell, the only way to do this is with camp mode. But that keeps the climate running, which will probably waste a lot of power. Is there any way to turn off climate control and keep the 12V on?

I will be parked in a location with large temperature swings throughout the day, from 35 - 80°F. So any set point on the thermostat would probably run either the heat or the AC.

Help Evaluating Tesla Battery Analysis

I am looking at a used Tesla, model S. 2012, 85, RWD. It has 202,000 miles. Yes I know that is very high

I paid the owner to take it to Tesla for a pre-purchase inspection and they looked at a lot of the basics and then he had them do a battery analysis so I can gauge the current battery degradation. He provided it to me but it doesn’t mean much. Could someone help in understanding it? The car is being offered at a pretty good price so I am just trying to figure out if the battery is good/bad/okay and what I can expect for longevity. Thanks in advance!

I paid the owner to take it to Tesla for a pre-purchase inspection and they looked at a lot of the basics (no major red flags) and then he had them do a battery analysis so I can gauge the current battery degradation. He provided it to me but it doesn’t mean much to me. I guess Im surprised this can’t be distilled down to a cycle count or battery percentage.

Was sewing on a custom wheel cover - when one of the sewing needles dropped behind the flip up lid on my Model 3 (I know, l'm an idiot).

Didn't bother me at first but I had the AC cranked today (hot outside: () and I started hearing very loud rattling from the center console that sounds like it's the needle.

I tried removing the passenger side carpeted side of the center console but I couldn't find anything.

Any solution?? Thanks!!

Hey guys, I don’t think it’s possible but I thought I would ask you since Tesla is closed.
Can an order 2016 Model S (old bumper, MCU1) be upgraded to FSD? All my searching seems to point to the next model year, the 2017 being FSD capable, but as usual, I google it and this plenty of reference to FSD and 2016.

The software is way out of date and the dealer hasn’t done an update in months. It’s just been sitting on the lot. It’s so out of date navigation keeps spinning and it won’t update.

Thanks for reading and the help!

Hi Guys,

New here, first post.

Just bought a used Model S 2014 P85 with known suspension issues. Went for Tesla SC for diagnosis and told a few parts starting to wear (shocks/links etc.) but working fine, not urgent, car is safe to drive.

Got persistent messages for 100km of the drive home "Air Suspension Needs Service. Reduce Speed - Drive With Caution" with red air suspension warning icon (no issue on same road that morning). Was like there was no suspension, very poor ride until I stopped to charge. When I got back into the car it drove perfect for another 100km and again the next day. Three days later light came on, and handling was poor again. Stopped and restarted and same road home was great with no warning lights.

Previous owner said car drives hard once a week or fortnight and then corrects itself. I have the car six weeks and agree. The red light has come on now and then but the notification to slow down may have occurred just once before. I also had home location set to high but most times reversing into driveway i get
Raising Suspension based on Location (Green)
Air suspension adjustment unavailable (Orange)

My gut is telling me that if this was due to parts that I'm told are showing signs of wear but are good for now, my problem should be more consistent and not specific to one drive and absent for the next. Has anyone experienced similar intermittent air suspension problems? Are there any sensors or controllers that might sporadically fail to engage when turning the car on? The car has at no stage dropped on top of the tyres when parked. It did once feel like it was hitting pot holes when in v slow city traffic with zero potholes present. I don't know would side effects of an air leak be this intermittent??

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I have a 2021 model s plaid. It has an active code gtw_w042 tas version mismatched and air ride compressor not working. I tried the software reinstall several times and the code remains active. The pressure and height sensors all appear to be working and reading correctly. I'm out of ideas. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi all, I'm after some help, I recently sold my model 3 and purchased a cupra born instead and I am now trying to charge the car with my tesla wall box and it isn't working, the car isn't recognised the charger but wallbox light is on so it's all connected etc.

I have the glass front I believe it's a gen 2. I've never connected it to WiFi and now the tesla app is saying it's only able to register a gen 3 so can't access the charger itself. if anyone could help that would be great

I just did my first manual car wash after setting car wash mode. I didn't experiment with it, but the mirrors were not folded. I would think that would be a must. Is it supposed to fold them or is it expected that driver would do that manually?

The last several clips I've attempted to save from my Tesla Model Y have only saved the event.json and thumb.png files. There are no mp4 files. I've searched various sites and discussion boards but haven't found anything about this particular issue. Does anyone know why these files are missing or whether there's any way to recover them?

Media Player mentioned for M3 on tesla.com and rather vaguely on M3 owners manual and introduction.
Cannot find it.
Other than the USB A in the glove box for tesla to record camera stuff it is not
clear of there is another reader port... Is the USB C in the
rear console box a reader or just power (back seat USB C are documented as just power).

How do I delete recent song icons off of my computer screen?

Hi, Im planning to buy new tires for my 19" 2023 Model Y Long Range should i buy Michelin Pilot Sport EV or Michelin Pilot Sport 5?

i do +150km everyday so noise level is important but not too much
also i need comfort are pilot sport 5's too firm?
do non-ev tryres reduce range too much? if they how many?

Would someone with an early Model S 2012 - 2019 mind taking a picture of the "Suspension" screen and posting it here. I have a Model X and want to know what the inch increments are for each suspension setting. See the attached Model X example picture. Thanks!

Does anybody know what is happening at Thetford / Elvedon, pulled in on Saturday - temporary out of use ?

I am a relatively newer Tesla owner here. I have 5k miles on mine and drive somewhat aggressively, so it is time to rotate my tires. Tesla app quoted me $65 for a mobile rotation service, which is actually not bad in L.A. for a rotation service that comes to my doorstep. Still, I think I will forgo and visit a Discount Tire/America's Tire location to get it done for free.

This being said, I would like to know what services are generally worth doing through Tesla and their expertise versus a reputable outside service center. I would imagine that the usual things like tire-related stuff or fluid replacement could easily be done by an external service center for cheaper. But, when I start to get into more complicated things down the road like suspension issues, AC issues, electrical issues, and etc, does anyone have any input on whether it is worth it to pay the Tesla service price tag?

Also, do any particular level of outside services void any warranty coverage for my 2023 Model 3 SR Tesla? Currently, will getting the tires rotated by an outside service void any warranty coverages?

I have a 2017 Tesla Model X 75d with AP2.5, Canada, equipped with cameras on both sides.
Issues encountered:
1. The back camera goes black when engaging reverse, and rebooting or reinstalling the software doesn't help.
(Tried to reboot with unplugging all usbs, leave it overnight) and it’s fifth day for this situation this time.
2. The dashcam doesn't record.
3. After Sentry mode records, the USB drive cannot be accessed.
Since it's out of warranty, unsure if third-party extended insurance covers the camera part. Diagnostic fees are over $110/hour. Wondering if upgrading to MCU2 is a better option now, or if there's another solution for the camera.

(Another question: if I upgrade from eap to fsd, will mcu be upgraded with purchasing fsd for 2750? Since we need to pay $1500 to upgrade hardware to subscribe fsd which is $99/month, I’m not sure what’s the upgrade for this one is, is same to MCU?)

Thanks.
