Tesla Autopark only backs into parking spaces, and has always worked that way as far as I can remember. I suppose it was implemented that way because there's no bumper-level camera in front, but I don't really know. Does anyone know if Tesla has said anything about allowing Autopark to...

I've been a Tesla owner for 8+ years. In late 2016, Tesla added the ability to associate driver profiles with key fobs, and eventually, phone keys. Despite how long we've had this feature, it's never worked reliably in my experience. Here's our current setup: My car is a 2023 Model S, which my...

Tesla recently added an FSD v12 automatic speed setting, shown in the screenshot below. You can learn more about it in this Not A Tesla App article: Tesla FSD Beta v12 Adds New Automatic Speed Setting One of the things I haven’t liked about FSD v12 on city streets is that it no longer maintains...

Until recently, when posting a topic or reply, the toolbar icons at the top of the text field were enabled. Now the only one that’s enabled by default is the square bracket icon near the Preview link (see screenshot), and I just discovered that the bracket icon activates or deactivates the other...

Is there a way to get notified about upcoming SpaceX launches? I don’t use Twitter/X anymore, but even when I did, that wasn’t a reliable way to find out about launches. The upcoming launch page on the SpaceX website doesn’t always show upcoming launches that have already been announced. I can...

I have the Tesla mobile app installed on both my iPhone and iPad, with two Teslas associated with my account. The iPhone is set up as a phone key, the iPad is not. The iPad is currently running app version 4.26.5, but the issue also happens with 4.26.2 and maybe earlier releases. When I receive...

In my previous 2018 Model S and my wife’s Model 3, when using FSD Beta you could press the right scroll wheel left or right to change the FSD Beta profile (Chill, Average, Assertive) and to access the Minimize Lane Changes option. The manual for my 2023 Model S says that should work in my car...

I’m about 2000 miles into my first significant road trip in my new 2023 Model S with HW4, delivered May 1. I drove from FL to New England, currently in RI. I purchased the car with EAP but subscribed to FSD before the trip so I could use FSD Beta when I wanted to. I’m on build 2023.32.4 (FSD...

Today I started seeing a “Network Setup/Connect your Powerwall to Wi-Fi“ link on the Energy screen of the Tesla app. The Powerwall has been connected for a couple of years without incident, and the app appears to be functioning normally. When I tried to connect, the app couldn’t see my home...

I recently placed an order for a new Model Y to take advantage of the FSD transfer promotion. I don’t have a VIN yet, but I’ve been checking new inventory on New & Used Electric Cars | Tesla daily to see if there are any matches there. Today I noticed a couple of close matches in inventory, one...

I have both our Model S and Model 3 set up to auto-fold mirrors when auto-opening the garage via Homelink, and to auto-unfold when I leave my house. This has been working well for a long time, but after updating my S to 2023.26.7, the mirrors no longer unfold when I leave the house. The 3, which...

I installed 2023.7.10 (FSDb 11.4.2) in my wife's 2018 Model 3 last night. The previous build was 2022.45.15 (FSDb 11.3.6). I noticed several new quirks, none of which are related to FSDb, so I'm not putting this in one of the FSDb threads. The first quirk actually happened before installing the...

I recently took delivery of a new Model S, which is currently on build 2023.12.9. I'm having some issues with driver profiles, and I'm wondering if others are seeing the same, and if it's specific to a certain build. Before I took delivery, I created a cloud profile in my wife's Model 3 (which...

I recently took delivery of a new 2023 Model S LR. I haven’t driven it much yet, but there seems to be a lot of road noise, unlike my previous 2018 and 2016 Model S’s, which were relatively quiet. The new car is no quieter than my wife’s 2018 Model 3, and might be louder. It doesn’t matter...

No one here can answer that question.

I purchased the Topfit Dashcam AP2 for my 2018 Model S, which I no longer own. I owned the AP1 version of this dashcam for my first Model S and was happy with it. When I bought the AP2 version, the Tesla dashcam had just been introduced, but as Tesla's dashcam improved over time I didn't make...

I ordered a Model S LR in Midnight Silver Metallic (MSM) with black interior, but I'm having second thoughts and am considering Deep Blue Metallic with white interior instead. My original delivery estimate was this month, but it's now April/May so I can probably change the color if I want to...

I have a few questions related to cloud profiles. I've read the manual and looked at other cloud profile threads, but I didn't find the information I was looking for. We have a 2018 Model S and 2018 Model 3, and I have a new S on order that will replace the current S. The 2018 S doesn't support...

I just tried contacting Tesla Support online via the Contact Us page (Tesla SSO - Sign In), which I've used before. In the past, you would pick categories, and the page would show you a list of possibly relevant support articles. At the bottom of the page, there was a "Did this answer your...

I'm planning to upgrade my 2018 Model S to a new one. I used Tesla's trade-in web page (Trade-in | Tesla) to get a quote. I'm curious about something: After I requested my quote, I was looking for more information on how the trade-in process works, and I came across this support article...

I'm considering replacing my 2018 Model S100D (in the US) with new 2023 Model S Long Range in the coming months, for several reasons: More range and faster supercharging for road trips. Access to new features not available on "legacy" cars like mine. New warranty (mine just expired). I'm...

I just learned from the Tesla Owners Florida Club that Tesla is giving a $3,750 discount (not tax credit) on Model 3 and Y orders if you take delivery this month, in the US only. I saw another thread about this in the Model Y forum (Electrek: Tesla gives $3,750 discount for Model 3/Y in the US...

For the last several days I’ve been trying to schedule a service appointment in the Tesla app, and whenever I do I get the Connection Failed error shown in the screenshot below. I didn't have any problems creating the appointment initially by requesting service, but now it wants me to schedule...

I’m about 4 weeks into a FL to New England road trip in my 2018 Model S100D, with less than 26k miles on it, and today I got numerous alerts (see photo) and the car couldn’t be put in gear. Called Tesla Roadside Assistance and they sent a tow truck to bring my car to the SC in Warwick RI (near...

FYI, the “Not a Tesla App“ site posted an article today about Tesla’s software update process: Why Tesla doesn't update all of its vehicles at once Many of you know about this already, but the question comes up a lot so I’m sharing it here.

I use the old What’s New view to keep up with the forum. Today I noticed that threads are not getting marked as read after I read them. Refreshing the page fixes that. I’m using Safari on iOS (iPad).

I live in south FL and FPL is my electricity provider. My PV system (non-Tesla solar panels plus Powerwalls) became operational 13 months ago, and I've sent more energy back to the grid than I've consumed. I was told by my installer that FPL would credit me for the excess energy on the...

If you've owned a Tesla for a few years or longer, you might remember the "dancing cars" issue: when stopped at a traffic light, the visualization of the other stationary cars at the light shows them moving around, sometimes into and out of your lane. The problem went away for the most part...

I was just looking at the Model S order page to what the estimated delivery date would be (Oct 2022 - Jan 2023). On the overview page, before you click the Order button, it shows the range for the regular Model S as 405 miles, and the Plaid as 396, which is what I remember it being. (You have to...

Saw this on both Teslarati and Electrek yesterday: Tesla launches self-diagnostic feature in its App for painless service requests Don’t know if it requires a specific app version.

The other day I noticed that the TeslaCam dashcam wasn't working in my 2018 Model S, which was running 2022.16.3 at the time. I checked the alerts and saw an error message about the USB file system being corrupt -- although I use separate USB's for the dashcam and music, I assumed this was for...

The Florida legislature recently defeated a proposal that would have allowed Florida electric utilities to penalize homeowners who installed solar systems. However, when I got my latest bill from FPL (Florida Power & Light) today, it went up from $9.81 to $27.26, even though I didn't use any...

From Transitioning to Tesla Vision: “As of mid-February 2022, all Model S and Model X built for the North American market utilize Tesla Vision. All Model S and Model X built for the North American market prior are equipped with radar.”

You can now subscribe to Premium Connectivity on an annual basis, $99/year in the US (vs. $9.99/month). See this support article for details: Connectivity Note that like the monthly subscription, if you cancel an annual subscription, you don’t get a refund for the unused portion.

From Teslarati: Tesla reportedly pauses Model S line to make way for updated headlights https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-model-s-new-headlight-production-update

FYI: Elon recently tweeted that the price of FSD is increasing to $12k on Jan 17, in the US only.

Today my wife's Model 3 displayed a dialog saying the 12V battery has degraded and should be serviced. The car is 3 years old, so I know it's not unusual to have to replace the battery at this point, but I was wondering how urgent the replacement is. There have been no symptoms of 12V battery...

I didn’t see any other threads about this, but apparently Tesla is going to let you store your driver profile in the cloud, so you can access it from other cars. Sources below: https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-driver-profile-settings-cloud-sync-update...

It would be extremely helpful if a driver could get some kind of alert when they do something that impacts their Safety Score. Neither my wife nor I drive aggressively, but we repeatedly get penalized for hard braking and aggressive turning, and we have no idea why. For all we know, there could...

Since installing 2021.32.22, my 2018 Model S automatically locks when parked at home, even though the home location is supposed to be excluded. Both the walk away lock and home location settings are correct. I’ve rebooted multiple times since installing the build. Anyone else seeing this? It...

I asked this question in another thread, but no one responded so I’m creating a new thread. I’m currently on a road trip in my 2018 Model S, which has 2021.32.20 installed. I have an update to 2021.32.22 that I haven’t installed yet, and I’m wondering if there’s any reason I shouldn’t install...

I have a system that consists of non-Tesla solar panels and Powerwalls, which became operational 4 weeks ago. Everything was installed by a third-party Tesla certified installer. Everything had been working well, but once in a while I see irregularities in the energy data displayed by the Tesla...

I've had my solar panel plus Powerwall system operating for about 10 days now, and enjoy monitoring the system using Power Flow in the Tesla app. Today I saw something odd (see photo): it appeared that I was drawing power from the Powerwalls and sending power to the grid at the same time (around...

I recently had 2 Powerwalls plus solar panels installed. There’s supposed to be a setting in the mobile app to enable/disable Storm Watch (under Customize), but I don’t have that setting. My app version is 3.10.14, which appears to be the latest version available for iOS. I live in the US. Why...

I replaced the 18" aero wheel covers on our 2018 Model 3 with the aero wheel cap kit shortly after taking delivery, and haven't used them since. They're In great shape and free to anyone who can pick them locally in Palm Beach County FL. Not willing to break up the set, so take all or none...

The online version of the Model 3 owner’s manual has been updated to version 2021.12.25, publication date July 9: https://www.tesla.com/sites/default/files/model_3_owners_manual_north_america_en.pdf The Model S owner’s manual is the same version and date, but that one appears to be specific to...

I started seeing the following Access Denied error whenever I launch the Tesla app (3.10.13) on my iPad: I’ve force quit the app and restarted my iPad, but no luck. iPad is running iOS 14.6. My iPhone has Tesla app 3.10.12 and iOS 14.6, and the app works fine there. I’ll try deleting the...

I started using these forums recently, when Tesla booted us from their forums. I'm still learning my way around, but I've seen a couple of quirks that I reported in a different thread. That didn't go anywhere, so I'm reporting them again here. First quirk: I'm using the "New posts" view with...

I'm asking $3,500 for a brand new set of Model S 21" silver Arachnid wheels and tires that I received as a referral award. These were never installed and are at the West Palm Beach FL Tesla Service Center; there's no installation charge if you have them installed there. The set includes the...

On Tuesday (June 18) the Tesla Service Center in West Palm Beach FL will replace my December 2018 Model S100D 19" wheels with 21" Arachnid wheels that I earned as a referral award. The original OEM 19" wheels are Goodyear Eagles on silver rims and have less than 1,700 miles on them with no...
