    How many people are having connectivity issues?

    I don't think chipset has much to do with it given I'm on MCU1 (Tegra) with a physical SIM (not eSIM) and 4G LTE modem. I suppose it might be interesting to see if there are any Tesla's that are not affected by this issue. But you'd hope Tesla have collated that information by now. I think...

    How many people are having connectivity issues?

    My previous support request has been closed. I'll raise a third one with some more time stamps.

    How many people are having connectivity issues?

    Just checking are other people still encountering this issue? It's worse than ever for me and I've heard nothing from Tesla.

    How many people are having connectivity issues?

    I believe it's not just MCU1 cars affected. Model 3 and Y are too. In any case, I'd probably just buy a cheap mobile hotspot and put a Lebara SIM in it before I'd consider spending £1400 on the MCU2 upgrade. At the moment I just always put my mobile in hotspot mode when I get in the car. I never...

    4 wheel alignment in South Yorkshire

    Just wanted to update this thread for anyone stumbling across it in the future. I ended up taking it to Tanvic Tyre and Service Centre in Worksop. I was grateful that anyone would take on the job and save me a substantial amount of money compared to Tesla. However, it did turn out to be a bit of...

    How many people are having connectivity issues?

    It seems to have got worse lately. I don't do a lot of driving but it's happened 8 times in the last 3 weeks. So I raised another service request to keep the pressure on Tesla to fix it. If anyone else uses TeslaMate, that's a really easy way to see when data connectivity is lost. If you view...

    4 wheel alignment in South Yorkshire

    I used to take my previous car to Dexel but they won't do it. Same goes for ATS. I'd be reluctant to take it to Kwik-Fit unless someone could convince me they knew what they were doing! I'll keep ringing round.

    4 wheel alignment in South Yorkshire

    I've just had a few suspension parts replaced by my local garage and so could do with the alignment checking. Tesla want £273 which seems rather pricey but a lot of local garages don't touch Teslas. Something about the lane departure system. Does that ring any bells with anyone? So does anyone...

    Indeed I thought it might have been resolved but I lost connectivity on a very short local drive which I know never goes out of mobile signal range. Seems it's still not fixed. Should we all reopen our service requests? Has there been an official announcement that they believe it's resolved?

    Failed Rear Lower Control Arm / Service Bulletin SB-19-31-001

    Strangely enough, the algorithm recommended that video from Delphi to me long before I discovered these threads about control arm failures. It seems there are a lot of third parties manufacturing replacement parts and quite frankly I'd prefer to take my chances with any of them given what Tesla...

    Another front suspension control arm failure

    I'm hoping we can come up with a definitive list of suspension parts that should be replaced if they are still original. This post might be just that but I'm not sure. As can see from my follow up post on that thread, I'm replacing FR SUSP AFT LINK ASSY (1027351-00-E) and RR SUSP INTEGRAL LINK...

    Rear lower control arm, broken!

    So can this be considered a definitive list of suspension components that should be replaced if they haven't already? My friend's garage (not a Tesla SC) has diagnosed that the front lower offside arm (the front most one that the shocker bolts through) and also the rear offside front most arm...

    2016 MS 85D losses LTE signal, have to reboot MCU

    For anyone finding this thread, it might be a UK issue. Found this thread which covers my problem.

    How many people are having connectivity issues?

    Finally! Other people reporting the same issue I've had for months that's been driving me crazy. I posted about it earlier here. So do we think the issue is when moving between different networks? I'm guessing Tesla utilise more than 1 network to give better coverage. FYI this issue is in a...

    2016 MS 85D losses LTE signal, have to reboot MCU

    Thanks for the reply. Is there a newer modem release available for MCU1? If 5G were an option, I'd almost be tempted to try that on the off-chance it might work.
