    Occasional clicking from front tire

    My 2020 S has had a slight squeak at 23 MPH ever since I got the car in August 23 from Tesla. They said it was too soft to address. I had the brakes cleaned and lubricated but the squeak still is there. I guess I will need to live with it.

    Mobile vs. Wall charger

    Tesla told me a wall charger would use less juice than the mobile charger which I am using. Is that true, and how much difference would it make? Peter

    Losing charge while parked

    My 2020 S seems to lose quite a bit of charge while being parked. It may almost be as much as I use from driving it. Everything appears to be turned off on the vehicle

    Elon take that strike back.

    I think it goes off at the end of the month.

    Elon take that strike back.

    That was not the case for me. One strike went off in the next month.

    Elon take that strike back.

    I think the strikes come off in a month.

    Elon take that strike back.

    Good luck. I had an inappropriate deactivation also, still on my record. FSD is good most of the time, but sometimes it needs some help.

    MS LR Brake Squeak AFTER Fully Stopping

    My 2020 S has had a soft squeak at 23 MPH since I got it 6 months ago. Just had my brakes serviced and its still there. Tesla said is was too soft to be a problem.

    Service Notifikation, car won’t drive

    Wow! Do a search to replace the secondary 12 volt battery if you want to do it yourself.

    Odd Metallic Noise coming from Front Left Wheel well......hubs?

    I have this slight squeak that occurs just at 23 miles per hour on my 2020 S. Had it ever since I got the car 6 months ago.Tesla said it was too soft to fix. It looks like I'm stuck with it.

    HEPA filter replacement

    Maintenance for my 2020 S is showing replacement of the HEPA filter. The car has 30000 miles and had 25000 when I got it 6 months ago from Tesla. The cost is almost $400.00. How often should the filter be replaced, and why is is so expensive? Peter

    Will the free FSD trial convince you to purchase FSD?

    I didn't bargain for FSD or even auto pilot when I got my 2020 S. I didn't even know about it. It is rather amazing and fun but not sure that I really need it.

    FSD disconnect in trial mode

    I had my hand on the wheel and FSD disconnected with the red flag.

    FSD disconnect in trial mode

    I had to hit the brakes while in FSD to avoid a collision with a car that cut in front. Not sure if FSD would have picked it up.

    FSD disconnect in trial mode

    I got an unjustified FSD disconnect in trial mode. If I get two more I no longer can use it. If that happens after you have subscribed you wasted your money.

    Scrubbing noise when turning. What is it?

    I can't hear anything on your video. I also got a 2020 S from Tesla with 25,000 miles in August. It has this very faint squeek at 23 mph ever since I got it. Tesla said it was too faint to deal with, and its still there. The car initially had a vibration problem with some turns, but that went...

    2024 Model S Plaid Alignment Specs

    I had mine done after I hit a curb, although there was no obvious problem....cost $230.00 here. Is there a service center there?

    FSD experience

    FSD is very impressive, but it does not recognize the 25 MPH speed limit at school zones, and the speed posting on curves in the road. It could get you a citation for speeding in a school zone. Peter

    2024 Model S Plaid Alignment Specs

    Tesla uses its own device to do wheel alignments which is not available at a general tire shop. You should have it done by Tesla. Peter

    How I doubled my tire life

    I put 5000 miles on my 2020 S which I got used with new tires......no appreciable wear shows. Peter

    Great Latest Update

    Fsd is good. I probably will go for the $100 per month. Not sure about $3100 for just two years.

    Great Latest Update

    How much was the extended warranty?

    Will the free FSD trial convince you to purchase FSD?

    I never used it before. Pretty impressive. It drove a 15 mile trip from my outlying town to the center of another one without any problems.

    Suspension too low

    I have had a problem with my S hitting potholes and driveways. I have had to repeatedly set the suspension back to very high. It was reset with an upgrade.

    FSD over speed limit

    Thanks to a gift of a month's FSD from Tesla I tried it for the first time....quite impressive. It was going over the posted speed limit though. It was set on "Standard". It should go at the speed limit. How do you set that?

    No rear collision avoidance

    Even with the backup camera a chime notification of an approaching vehicle or object is useful. My 2016 Chrysler Town and Country does that and has a backup camera.

    Gift from Tesla

    Tesla gave me a month free trial of FSD! Peter

    Go for the S.

    No rear collision avoidance

    How do you tell Tesla that they need to add rear collision avoidance? My 2016 Chrysler Town & Country has that. Front collision avoidance works fine and they should be able to easily add that to the rear. Peter

    Forced autopilot disengements

    I do not have an interior camera on my 2020 S but still find that I get warnings immediately after engaging auto pilot.

    Forced autopilot disengements

    Do the two existing ones ever go away?

    I got a very unfair third strike that I do not understand. Please help.

    The warnings seem to occur mostly on straight stretches of road although I am torking the wheel. I got 2 forced disengagements recently that way and I'm waiting for the third one.

    Forced autopilot disengements

    I had my second forced autopilot disengagement today within a few days although I had my hand on the wheel. I understand the current update permits 3 and then no autopilot for a week. When does it reset to zero again? Peter

    Rear collision warning

    That's rather poor answer. Accidents have happened even with warnings. If true I am quite surprised Tesla does not provide this feature, given all the cameras and sensors.

    Rear collision warning

    My S does not give a warning when in reverse and another vehicle is approaching. My Chrysler Town & Country does a lot better. Am I missing something?

    The 2 Best Days In a Plaid Owner’s Life

    I don't understand the point of a Plaid for an average driver? My 2020 S for which I paid $55000 with 25000 miles on it has more power than I ever use.

    Alarm when backing up

    USB port function

    My 2020 model S only has one vacant USB port in the center compartment. I put some of my own recorded music on the USB drive but it was erased by the dash cam. Can I have a drive for music and the dashcam at the same time? Peter

    Occasional shudder

    I am getting an occasional shudder with regenerative breaking on my 2020 S. It is not reproducible. What is the significance of that?

    FSD Owners - Do any of you prefer leaving it off?

    I was curious about trying it instead of autopilot, which really is not bad with autosteer and adaptive cruise control, but will save my money! The main problem is that is slows down way to much for bicyclists on the side of the road. Peter
