Ok the wife and her friends love the walk away chime. We use "I'll be back" from the Terminator movie. Is there a way to have my car greet me when unlocking? I'd kill to surprise the wife with a Neil Diamond "Hello again Hello" greeting when it's unlocking.

During the semi press releases I thought Tesla claimed the windshield was going to be rock proof. But now that it’s here I can’t find anything to support that in any where. Things do change during production e.g. the CT was suppose to kneel and have a telescoping tailgate. Anybody know...

In this article Watch Tesla Cybertruck’s impressive 4-wheel steering at work Elon says Musk commented: WTH is he talking about hard to build? I do understand that any production line build out is not easy but he's making this sound like ...well it's gonna be hard! Not what I want to hear...

Doesn’t seem to do anything. My NOA seems to work the same regardless of whether I select the icon (blue) or not. Don’t see anything in the owners manual.

Ok local dealer prices seem to be dropping. The Vancouver WA dealer dropped from $152k to $113k for a Platinum truck with a $93k MSRP. Still too high and I'm plannning on waiting for final CT details to be released before I actually do anything. But I have been fascinated by the overall rave...

I'm in WA just across the river from Portland OR. I see tons of 3, Y's and older MS/X I never see Plaids. I've actually only seen a total of three (including mine). Just wondered about actual numbers or percentages. I'm sure there are a lot more up by Seattle but very few down here.

This was referenced in the video below. I believe Sawyer is in Germany. About 3 min in I don't even know how Tesla would accurately adjust for such things. How would they know what the current head or cross wind is like?

I have a 2021 Plaid. Range differences between the LR and Plaid were negligible to me. I wanted the performance. I know the motors are different and I assume the inverters also. Sandy has done a great break down of a plaid pack but didn't specify Plaid vs LR specific differences. I've read more...

Half the stuff I use got buried in the UI update. Is there a list of vocal commands I can use instead of trying to drive and find things in submenus? I don’t see anything in my owners manual version.

Ok our previous 90D MS had the dash cam and security icons on the top row of the display. And you could quickly start something if you had a close call or accident. It now looks like the dash cam access is only thru the Controls section. Not very intuitive or simple especially if you just had...

Just watched this video on the updated MS computer. Does anyone know of any other manufacturer with a water cooled motherboard? Pretty frecken amazing! All of this guys videos are outstanding and easy to follow. Can't wait to see Sandy Munro's plaid breakdown.

What are you guys getting on a daily charge? We consistently got 262 miles on 80% on our 2017 90D. Please specify LR or Plaid, 80 or 90% I'd also like to hear if anyone has actually trip charged to the Tesla advertised 405 or 396 miles Oh yea, where did you see your VIN in the Manage your...

I'm really getting tired of the endless FSD run around. "It's gonna be great" is just getting old. We ordered a Plaid + with FSD and then changed it to the Plaid. I wonder if we'll lose our good price if we decide to drop FDS at the last minute. Not for decided but so frustrated by the endless...

Ok the fun of waiting is getting old now. I know SX/X production was stopped for a while back in Dec. but I haven't heard anything about getting back to pre shut down levels. So what are the current production numbers? Two hundred or two thousand a week? Are we looking at reduced production due...

2017 90D 50,000 miles, FSD paid for, MCU1 but eligible for free recall chip replacement Car is in immaculate shape. Daily charge 262 miles Silver paint, Premium interior lighting, black premium interior, subzero weather package, Ultra High Fidelity sound package, 19" wheels, black alcantara...

Got my Plaid coming soon (so they say) Wonder if the interior floor space has been changed from previous years. I'd like to keep my WeatherTec front, rear, and trunk floor mats for the new car.

Ok I reserved one yesterday. Within minutes of my $ hitting Ford's pocket I received two e-mails. One indicating I have a reservation and the next explaining I was assigned a "local dealer". I get an email from that dealer introducing themselves etc. Ok everything sounds good right? Clearly I...

We saw our fist Taycan today. Wife was not impressed and my planned test drive next month is in jeopardy. I was explaining why our Plaid + will be so much faster, better etc and of course she had to go on Tesla.com and find specs. At first she thought both a Plaid and Plaid + were 0-60 1.99...

I've a 2017 MS with MCI1 and paid for FSD. Telsa has sent multiple messages saying I can have the HW3 upgrade installed now. I don't intend on paying for the MCU2 upgrade. I've seen the rumors that an HW4 upgrade might be coming. I intended on waiting until the HW4 comes out or FSD rolls out...

Any thoughts on how the fire ash is affecting our bio filters? Seems like the life should be drastically reduced. Perhaps requiring replacement this year. I'm in WA and have never used it before now. For those of you that aren't aware the air is so bad that you can't see across the street at...

I have a Sept 2017 90D with MCU 1 and AP 2.5. I understand what I'm missing by not purchasing the MCU upgrade for the center display but I thought my MCU 1 somehow limits me from seeing all of the new things on the driver's binnacle display. E.G. stoplights, traffic cones, garbage cans. I'm on...

Not sure if this was truly ready for primetime. Clearly the rear springs will need to be changed to work as a real truck. Bed load distribution seems off. ATV front wheels are obviously against the rear cabin wall. The panels of the tail gate can't be that heavy or else it would be too heavy to...

I wondered what would happen if you summoned your parked car and there was no parked car in front of it. Would it just go forward instead of backing up? This would be disastrous if there was a 5" parking brick in front of the car. How would it know it should back up first? What about the curbs...

Don't see any threads addressing the impact on production.

and not charge ICErs? I wonder if we can just not pay super charger idle fees if we don't feel like it. I mean if Tesla does't own the stall etc. This is crap. Tesla should make an example of the group ICE stall fiasco. Their license plates is all they would need. Geeze an hour or so of idle...

We've had our 2017 MS for a little over a year. Autodimming worked great until the 2018.44 update. Now our autodimming is intermittently working, sometimes switching correctly from high beam to low and back to high after passing oncoming traffic. Lately it never switches back to high beam...

Is there a way to tell by VIN which hardware version your car was built on? Thought I read that tesla started shipping with HW 2.5 after Aug of 2017. I'm sure the VIN contains build date but not sure what part.

I know this was the big news in 2014 but I've not seen anything lately that indicates Tesla is still using under body shields. Anyone know if a 2017 or 18 still use them? I assume MX's were protected also.

Ok I'm missing the three position turning lights (Sept build 90D) and can have the service center install the correct ones. I've been following the other thread on this matter and a comment about how poor they are got me thinking "maybe I shouldn't have them changed" Searched a couple of other...

This is nuts! When in the history of mankind have you EVER heard of folks lining up to buy a car the night before. We have folks posting pics of tents, and lines with more than a hundred people across the nation, waiting to pay a $1000 for a car they haven't even seen. Nothing on the local or...

Can't seem to find any of the new Beatles streaming albums/stations on Slacker. Is this somehow absent from our Tesla subscription? Nothing like the references I see on the Slacker website.

When comparing to other SUV's it would be nice to know how this compares to the competition. Porsche Cayenne is 8.5" and 10.7" with the air suspension.

Ok, I get this call from a friend of a friend asking if I'd trade a ride in the Tesla for an opportunity to shoot a machine gun. I hesitated for almost 13 nanoseconds thinking "Would I prostitute the wife's car for a chance like this?" Well YA!!! Later I asked about legality and he assured me...

Ok we've got it bad and the wife has made it clear we will be on the list for the cheaper Gen III/model E. As we talked about how we would use this second ev it occurred to me that in a couple of years a used S60 will probably be in the same price range, distance range etc. We don't need or even...

I got the strangest message last week. I alternate between different screens and do not use the media screen all the time but usually have Slacker playing in the background. I noticed that nothing was playing so I pressed the media screen and got a message that actually said someone else was...

This type of data should be easy and quick to find. I've read a lot of info buried in numerous threads but nothing with clear instructions e.g. set the max charge range all the way to the right, make sure it has time to sit for x number of hours after it reaches max charge. Don't plug in again...

I've owned this car for about 4 months. Got the Tesla jacket with red lettering to wear instead of the common NorthFace jackets I see everywhere. I've been asked on more than a few occasions "Do you work for Tesla or do you actually/really own one?" I've owned other relatively rare cars and...

NEW YORK (TheStreet) Tesla Motors (TSLA_) has been cleared of any wrong doing in the Model S fires, at least as far as the German Federal Motor Transport Authority is concerned. In a press release, the German Federal Motor Transport Authority, Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA), said Tesla is not being...

Got tired of all of the comments from friends ribbing me on the Tesla fires so I decided to go on the attack. Temporarily mounted this on the wife's car. Wonder how long it will be before I get the phone call asking what the hell is on her car? :wink: Embrace it, own it!

First snow has hit and I want to know how the std m&s tires work around town in snow. Lived in Denver for years and never had to buy snow tires. There were times when you just needed serious traction but on those days nothing short of full 4 wheel drive would work and you stayed home. I'm not...

Just found this link for a Silver model S poster - four sizes - 16"x12" $20 to 36"x24" $44 Amazon.com - Tesla Model S Car Art Poster Print on 10 mil Archival Satin Paper Silver Front Side Speed View 16 Please delete if this is a repeat post.

I am a car nut and subscribe to a few ICE magazines. I'm tired of searching for something on ev's in C&D, Automobile etc. I did find EVworld on line but wondered if there are any real good ones. I'd especially like something in paper form. Geeze I really like the torque on this thing. Pulls...

Ok I'm a newbe (two weeks ownership). Love the idea of a full charge every morning when I wake up. I will probably never need to recharge (when out and about) but I feel the need to pack the mobile connector in the trunk every time we leave. Paranoid or what? Do you pack it every trip out of the...

If you bought this car you probably have a few assets, e.g. nice house, cars etc. Unfortunately I've had contractors try to charge me more because of this apparent affluence. This was especially funny when they would quote a price on the phone and actually increase it when they saw the house...
