I just found out the car was done in 2021, so much for that idea! Thanks though

No wonder you don’t get rated range! Rated range is at typical high speeds or slower. Here in Canada most of our highway speeds are 100 km/h. If I moved to the right hand lane, turn auto pilot on at 100 or even 110 I will get almost exactly rated range rate of consumption 192 W hours per...

OK, the recall was done in 2021 so much for that idea! I got this thing to update once I’m convinced I can do it again! What do you think? I have gone on long drives and let it connect to the hotspot on my phone, but maybe it doesn’t like that and prefers the home Wi-Fi? That’s what worked the...

Thank you for your detailed reply. Yes I did a factory reset from the service menu. It’s not the black screen so much as it is not being able to use the navigation. I’m using Waze on my phone which is not the most convenient, and have to switch the source to Bluetooth phone which isn’t as nice...

I pasted the Vin in, but it wouldn’t search on my phone…the search button was grayed out. I figured it was easier just to book the service call and they’ll message me back with more information.

Yes, the displayed number on the driver’s screen. When I changed the wheels on my Plaid from a 21s to a 19s indicated range went from 588 to 622. I got close to rated range while in chill mode, 550km on the 21s on a road trip to Rhode Island. :) My wife gets better than rated range. I don’t have...

Exactly. Wish me luck!

Something strange is definitely going on. I left my key in the car, hoping the next update was going to happen and maybe it is? I got back into the car to a black screen, I have sat here for five minutes and it’s still black. Strange. This was one of the listed problems with the eMMC upgrade...

I’m sure Tesla will tell me, but this car has been serviced at a Toyota dealership of all places. I’m hoping it hasn’t been done and this service might help with the NAV issue even though it appears to be separate. Fingers crossed they ran out of eMMC units and have to do an MCU2! 😂

I wonder if I can get this eMMC recall done?

OK, I’ve contacted a private shop that I trust. I’m sure they’ve seen this before and can replace the SD card. I’m just not keen on taking half the dash apart to get at it. On the other hand is probably not that difficult. I’m just not a custom to doing work like this. If I get the NAV working...

I know I’m just dragging my feet on this one. I had hopes because DebyDave told me the update takes a while to download and it did finish rebooted and voilà my NAV worked… but LTE streaming wasn’t. so I rebooted again and now my NAV is stuck on initializing and updating again. Maybe when I get...

Thank your help in me acquiring this, re answering my q’s about SCing. I was happy to see this in my app when it added in about three minutes after uploading the required documentation: I really enjoy many things about the car, and the four nicest ones (to me) are the acceleration, sunroof...

Everyone I was looking back at rated range numbers of my newly acquired 2016 P90 DL and I’m not seeing differences between the 19s and 21s like they do now. On my plan, it was about a 34 km difference, so I’m wondering what it would be on this car? On my second charge I got 394 and it’s set...

yes it's not an alert so much as it is a show-stopper for using Nav for any destination. I didn't realize how much I used the nav until haven't had it to use! Using Waze on my phone isn't great, an I don't have a phone mount in this car yet, thinking I need to get an ESR Magsafe dashmount and...

Haha thanks, I was going to put an intro post together with some nice pics etc and some detail...I love this Tesla!!!! It's like a familiar old shoe, and the same colour as my Plaid I sold, Deep Blue Metallic 🔵

OK, cool thanks, I’ll give it a try! Have a great weekend!

OK, thanks I left it in my driveway connected to Wi-Fi. Hopefully it’s just going to grab what it needs. I went back into the car to check on it and it wasn’t navigating to anywhere and I couldn’t see any download progress so I chose another destination got the connect to Wi-Fi dialogue box...

OK, maybe I spoke too soon. It’s saying it needs an update again. I wonder if needs back to back updates ?

I did two finger scroll wheel reboot and LTE came back online. I didn’t think I would’ve had to do that since it rebooted after the NAV update and I figured I was fine.

Is there anyway I can combine a few of my threads on my newly acquired 2016 model S I’ve got a few things to ask about the car and I keep starting new threads. I figured it would be good to have a general thread. I’m wondering if I can combine them? Thanks !

After I reset, I lost the LTE data streaming, but under software, it says premium connectivity included package Any ideas?

It worked! Took about 25m then rebooted, big T for a couple of mins NOW NAV WORKS!!!! Omg love it! Trip coming up tomorrow! Thanks again for the help, really appreciate it!!!

OK, maybe I’ve just got to be patient. I just got the car home, connected to Wi-Fi and I’m not getting any progress bar or anything, but maybe it’s doing its thing in the background? Hopefully it’ll work when I’m not in the car and things are off and the car is locked. Thanks very much!

Thanks I’m going to check it out! OK, I’m getting a different message now, maybe it’s more promising? Navigation data update required. Please connect to Wi-Fi to download the navigation data update. I am definitely connected to Wi-Fi.

Thanks for the info so far guys, I appreciate it! I dropped into the dealer again, and spoke to a technician who said he be able to reset the nav and get it going but no promises. Does anyone know what that means? I asked if I could buy i new SD card and they just thought that was funny, they...

Thank you for explaining, I think I had too many coffees before the test drive and was a little impatient! Really appreciate the detail! Closing in on the 2016 today, see if can hammer out a good deal on this project car! Okay, maybe it's not that bad...

"Dec 2023 MS LR, Ultra Red, white interior, 19" Tempest wheels, FSD - 9k miles and counting." Btw, I love the spec of your MS, I'd do the same. The Ultra Red 🔴is drop dead gorgeous! with the white interior?😍 I'd do the 19s as well, better range, and they still look good.

Does the whole dash need to come apart to get at the MCU?

Okay thanks I'll check but I'm pretty sure it's AP1?

I'm considering registering a used Tesla under my company's name instead of my personal name, but I'm concerned about potential difficulties in adding it to my Tesla app. Has anyone done this before? Added a company vehicle to their app? Since it's my company, could I also link my personal name...

Yes the SOC was the acceleration "problem." ;) at 90-100% it bolts of the line like a scared jackrabbit, especially in launch mode/cheetah stance, lots of fun!

Okay, thanks for the feedback. Haha no, the 2 hours included 20m each way in gridlock traffic, 25m of racing around trying launch mode, seeing how the half shafts behaved under hard launches, etc. and about 35m or so for charging? Yes I want it for FUSC down the road, but want to make sure I...

You know I had the car for almost 2 hours trying to supercharge it and I completely forgot to check for that sticker, darn! So maybe it’s about right for range? It seems I’m getting about the same. I know those tools you can get that plug into the ODB port to allow reading of all the cell...

Do you guys know if there is a switch to turn on when you change lanes on autopilot with the old Teslas? my 2015 used to stay on auto pilot. This 2016 might as well but it was a quick test drive and maybe it was just slow trying to move into the next lane. It’s got summon in the menu so I...

Well, I guess they’re in business to make money as she wouldn’t even talk about a fix just an MCU 2.0 upgrade! I’d probably want to get that anyway, and if I get the car for the right price, I will most likely do it

So a Tesla I’m considering… figured I would check to see what a full charge gives at a local supercharger. It’s a 2016 P90D and apparently it got 426 km new (does that sound right?) and now I charged it up to 385 at 100% that’s about 10% deg. Oh it’s got 70k km on it. My 2015 only dropped...

Hey, thanks Dave. I wonder how I would populate the card with the map data or am I looking at this wrong? 😉

True, but this one actually has LTE

Hey guys, 2016 Tesla model S. I pick a destination and it never connects. I had this happen on my 2016 and Tesla told me it was either an antenna problem or some MMC chip that needed replacing. Honestly with so many many years ago, I really don’t remember. So I called them about this and they...

Yes Tesla said $80 and not 100% result but better. At least they're honest.

I agree the dual motor P85DL+ has a similar power level to the 2021 MS LR but off the line the LR doesn't seem to have that hard-hitting punch my 2015 P85DL+ had. ~3.2 0-60 vs ~2.8? on a roll they seem about equal. Just going from seat of pants feel that's all.

I really appreciate your detailed reply and help with my decision, sorry I'm taking to long to get back to you. The P90D with FUSC is an okay car but not a great one. I like the colour, but the paint needs a fair bit of work. Lots of chips and scratches. The Nav keeps spinning trying to connect...

I didn't have much luck selling my 2015 P85DL, maybe I didn't list it right or handle the responses properly, but in the process I learned what the car was worth and managed to get $39,999+ tax saving on a trade-in for the Plaid which was priced fairly at the time.

I hear what you’re saying but my 2015 had sc01 and was transferred to a new owner through a third-party dealer. He reported back no credit card needed. He has free supercharging and premium connectivity. Concerning the 2016 it’s at a Chrysler dealer. I I drove it to a supercharger, plugged in...

Actually, Tesla confirmed it’s SC01 according to the dealer they bought a lucid so it didn’t get (obviously !) transferred

That’s what I was thinking thank you very much! My wife thinks I should get over my obsession for free supercharging and just pick a better car and not worry about that. 🤔

I'm looking to get an interim car with SC01 FUSC (Free Unlimited Supoercharging) and Tesla warned me even if Tesla re-introduces FUSC transfers, I might not be able to transfer to a new MS as she thought it only applied to the original owner. This doesn't sound right, just thought I'd check with...

No, I'm holding out, thinking of getting the Juniper update next year which may be 510HP or hopefully more, if it's competing (at the dragstrip!) with the Macan EV Turbo. We all have a feeling the new drivetrain is capable of 600HP! I just can't see that Macan with 630HP cleaning up the Tessy...
