    Flickering Daytime Running Light

    I noticed the passenger signature light flickering a couple times while parked in my garage (sunny SoCal). It's rare. Haven't seen any pattern that causes it. If it happens outside my garage while driving, I'd never know!

    Tesla wants to physically disable Front Radar in my 2022 Model S for Tesla Vision

    I made a mobile service request to fix a squeak in the driver’s side window. They added the line item to the invoice to disconnects the radar too, which is what led me to find this thread. I was not excited with the idea of the tech taking the front of my car off in the parking lot! When he...

    Disney+ and Netflix

    Glad I'm not the only one experiencing this. Google searches give no useful results specific to watching Disney+ in my car. But about 4 months ago it decided to force me to log in every time I want to watch. Sometimes it auto-fills my email address at least, often not, and I always have to enter...

    Finally swapped our Taycan for a Model S - I have some questions about the interface...

    Like vcor said, just drag the media control from the top (use the light-grey thin "collapse bar" control at the top-center of the media panel) down a little then to the left or right. The dual arrow control in that video doesn't exist on my car with the latest software.

    Center Console Lost Credit Card

    I lost my debit card to that hungry slot the day after I got my car. Took me overnight to realize that's where my missing card must have gone. I figured it lost, ordered a new one and forgot about it. After 4 months suddenly the sliding panel wouldn't open all the way. It was hitting the card...

    2022.20.9 - Tesla Vision impressions

    I can confirm engaging autopilot with this new patch does not activate automatic high beams. My high beams were on manual setting, and off, and after driving an hour in the dark turning AP on and off, my high beams are still in manual.

    2022.20.9 - Tesla Vision impressions

    I have not driven at night yet. My windshield wipers were already set on auto (works fine for me in SoCal) and that's unchanged. My high beams are still in manual mode but maybe that will change when I'm actually in the dark? Dunno yet.

    2022.20.9 - Tesla Vision impressions

    The verdict: It's okay. (and I really did want to hate it) During my usual morning/afternoon commute of 40 miles on the 110 and 405, I paid close attention to how my autosteer & TACC were behaving post-patch. On an open lane, I couldn't tell any difference. When a car merged in front of me...

    2022.20.9 - Tesla Vision impressions

    I installed 2022.20.9 earlier tonight without knowing they were taking my radar away, but it dawned on me an hour later that’s the real meaning of “welcome to Tesla Vision” and then I came looking for a thread. This refreshed Model S is my first Tesla and while I love it, I am always stunned...

    Software version that disables radar?

    Just installed 2022.20.9 on my refreshed Model S and they took my radar away :-( Warning to the rest of you. They say “Welcome to Tesla Vision! It‘s great” and then stretch the min follow distance to “2” (disabling 1) and limiting TACC to 85, which is plenty fast enough but not letting me...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Agree. That webinar is not for anyone that cares enough about their Tesla to be registered on this forum. I attended to get one question answered. And they got it wrong! I asked if there's a way to securely lock my phone key in the car when I can't take it with me (work). I tried locking it...

    USB Device and music not showing on Refreshed MS LR

    This (old) thread is still a top hit in Google for this problem, so I thought I'd add my discoveries here. #1) As a Mac user, I was also having no luck getting a freshly-formatted FAT32 USB thumb drive to appear as a music source. When you format the device as MS-DOS (FAT), the other option...

    Model S Software/Firmware wishlist

    Tesla is a cousin to SpaceX and our Model Esses are sprinkled with space references, like the Martian nav map and attempting to name your car "42," so why can't we access more of the REAL space technology we already have in the car? Not SiriusXM. GPS! Of course the cars show timing and map...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    On #10, for me the mental breakthrough was realizing that with my thumb brushing against the ridge on the yoke between the turn signal buttons, I can think of it as a traditional stalk. To signal left, I'd move the stalk down, so my thumb needs to move down and press the button. Instead of...
