Quick background: I have an existing solar system at home, no backup storage, but the SMA inverter is 15 years old so I’m looking to replace it soon. Thinking about also adding battery storage, I saw Powerwall+ comes with a solar inverter: https://www.tesla.com/powerwall From what I could...

Hi, I'm looking for a recommendation on tire shops in San Francisco (or the immediate Bay Area) that can properly lift a Model S without damaging the underbody so I can get by 19" summer tires swapped with winter tires I already own. I used to own multiple sets of wheels and just brought in the...

I’ve decided to stop tracking my Plaid, so I’m selling several rotors from RacingBrake that are compatible with the new refreshed Model S and X: - 2x front 390mm rotors with rotor hats - 2x front stock caliper spacers for 390mm rotors - 2x front 380mm rotor rings (stock size) - 2x rear 365mm...

I'm selling the following: - 2 front Fast Wheels FC04 in 20x9.5 ET35, 5x120 bolt pattern, brilliant black finish - 2 rear Fast Wheels FC04 in 20x11 ET25, 5x120 bolt pattern, brilliant black finish - 2 front Michelin Pilot Sport 4S in 275/35ZR-20 XL, two track events, ~800 miles total - 2 rear...

I sold my Model 3 last summer and had an extra set of brand new, unused/unmounted Potenza RE-71R tires in 265/35-R19 that I never got around to selling. Looking for $250 each, $1,000 total (not selling separately) + shipping. Prefer local pickup in the SF Bay Area. I’ll be at TeslaCorsa in...

Per the Tesla app version 4.1.x release notes, a couple of new features require 2021.36+ and speculation has it that this version is also the FSD release. Please post your release notes if you got 2021.36.x! How are the lucky few who already got it tonight?

Post here if you’ve received 2021.36.x on your refresh Model S! (and please add release notes :) )

As I'm hoping to take delivery of my Model S Plaid soon, I've trying to put together a consolidated list of all the issues folks have been finding at the time of delivery of their cars, so I can look out for such issues before accepting delivery of mine. The goal would be to note all issues of...

As more Plaids are being delivered, the spirited driving enthusiasts among us are potentially looking for better handling dynamics, starting with lighter wheels, different tire compound/sizes, suspension adjustments/upgrades, and better brakes. So even though I have yet to take delivery of...

Hi everyone, I'm waiting for a Model S Plaid that will likely be delivered to me in the next month or two. In the meantime, I'm gauging interest in my current Model 3 Performance, in which I put a lot of extra accessories. It has about 42,000 miles on it at the moment. Here are the details...

Now that Elon announced on Twitter earlier today that Plaid+ is cancelled. No need, as Plaid is just so good, I am curious what choices reservation holders now have and what Tesla is telling us. The way I see it, we would be able to either: 1. Cancel the reservation altogether and get our...

While cleaning the interior of my Model 3 the other day, I noticed that my driver side seat cushion is not sitting flush with the plastic base (see photo). According to the service advisor i showed this to at the San Francisco service center, this is “normal”.. anyone else see this?

I was surprised to see 2021.4.12 downloaded to my M3P this morning, since I didn’t see it on the sites I usually track (Teslafi, teslascope, notateslaapp, etc.) and it’s been a long time - as in, years - since I was the first to get any new update (I usually get them a few days after first...

Quick poll to gauge yoke interest in the refreshed Model S!

Fo all those complaining about the new Model S price hike, you’ll likely get most of it back (especially if you got a $2000 discount for ordering pre-refresh announcement): Tesla to gain access to 400k more $7k EV tax credits amid Biden's sustainability push TL;DR - the next 400,000 Tesla...

When the Model S "refresh" was first announced a couple of weeks ago, I took a bunch of screenshots from Tesla's website, including the new interior and how the rear seats & second row is changing. One thing I (and others) noticed is how narrow the rear doors seemed to be, and I was also...

Now that the Model S has been updated and there are no more “performance” versions with Ludicrous (only Long Range and Plaid for now, with Plaid+ in about year - terrible name btw, why not Warp speed?), do you think Model 3 Performance might get Ludicrous? Or at least Insane, since it’s as fast...

Since most other threads on the “new” Model S refresh (as of early 2021) are busy discussing the most obvious changes to the interior, I thought the advancements to the battery cells and pack architecture deserved a separate thread of its own. What we know for sure: 1. Per the shareholder...

I have a Nexus 9 running Scan My Tesla, and finally bought 2 pieces of hardware to mount it to the dash: Center Dash Mount Drill Base - 3.75" Arm - Vehicle Or Wall Tablet Mount - 2 Points Of Articulation It was pretty easy to mount, just had to find the right location of the dash mount and...

2020.12.5.6 is starting to roll out to non-EAP owners, and this version apparently has Traffic Light and Stop Sign control features. If true, this could be huge. Souces: Twitter TeslaFi.com Firmware Tracker

Firmware 2020.12.5 is apparently released (or about to be released), with at least the following two new features: Dashcam Viewer Out of Order Supercharger Stalls Sources: Tesla releases Dashcam Viewer software update, allows TeslaCam, Sentry Mode viewing in car - Electrek Tesla Owners Online...

I'm currently on the latest firmware update I know of (2020.12) and my Navigation maps are at 2019.20, which I believe is also the latest. [Side note: when I got my HW3/FSD computer hardware upgraded at the beginning of the month, the maps version had reverted to 2019.6, and as I was retrieving...

Firmware version 2020.8 was just detected on a Model S 100D. Curious to know what that brings to Model 3, and even more specifically Performance variants: does it have Track Mode v2? If you receive this version on your M3 please post release notes here! TIA

I recently switched to 18" wheels for the winter and was wondering what the default tire pressure Tesla says should be for that size wheel. Can anyone who bought a Model 3 with 18" wheels from the factory check their door jamb sticker and please let me know what the tire pressure reads on...

As part of 2020.4.1 that is being released en masse this week, there is a new "feature" called Additional Vehicle Information. I'm not sure why that link is located under the Software section, instead of the Tesla T screen, but it has some interesting details: Audio system type Autopilot...

My Unplugged Performance coilovers have been working very well for me, and I've had a chance to try them out on the track with great success. The front dampening is super easy to adjust, and the rear dampening is not too bad either - just need to be able to reach the adjustment knob. The front...

Last night I received an interesting message on my display: After speaking to the service center, they said it was a preventative message that is fairly widespread and I should bring my car in, but can continue to drive as is fine. Interestingly enough, the message appeared shortly after I...

Looks like 2019.40.2 is starting to roll out according to TeslaFi. Please post release notes here if you receive it on your car.

I’m looking for a volunteer that has a Model 3 with HW2.5 (so likely built prior to 04/2019) and is on 2019.36.x with EAP or FSD, to do the following: 1. Find a road or highway on which cones or barrels are placed in such a way that drivable lanes are shifted from the painted line markings 2...

I have a P3D+ that needs new shoes for the track. I plan on fitting them with RE-71R or Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. Still haven't decided whether 18" or 19" wheels will work best, but I'm open to both - though you'll notice I have a specific look in mind ;) Note that with my new Racing Brake...

I sold my S a little while back and thought my girlfriend would use these on hers but she hasn’t really needed them, so I’m selling them now. Base rack ($550 value) = $380 Model S Roof Rack - Panoramic Roof 2x Bike attachment ($580 value) = $410 WB200 Fork Mount Snow attachment ($260 value) =...

According to TeslaFi, 2019.28.1 has started rolling out today - only to Model 3s in Europe so far. Does anyone on here have this version? If so, please do post release notes!

I signed up for Tesla Corsa's fourth event, which takes place in Laguna Seca on June 28th and 29th: Tesla Corsa – The world's first Tesla-only track day experience! I'll be there for both Friday and Saturday sessions in the Advanced/Expert group (there is one other group for beginner &...

I’ve had my P3D for about a month and a half and I swore it used to do this in one of the early fw releases I had, but I can’t for the life of me figure out how to do it again.. My goals is to have the navigation screen show the maps with north up in everyday driving situations where I’m...

Link: Introducing a More Seamless Navigate on Autopilot Have any non-EAP users received this update yet? If so, what’s the firmware version number? Introducing a More Seamless Navigate on Autopilot The Tesla TeamApril 3, 2019 Since we first introduced Navigate on Autopilotlast year, Tesla...

I've started playing around with DashCam and Sentry mode on my new Model 3, and so far everything seems to be working pretty well with my USB flash drive. One weird thing I noticed is that two files were recorded onto the root folder of my drive, at the same level of the TeslaCam folder I...

So after confusing and conflicting information from various Tesla sales and service folks about whether Auto Lane Change is part or not part of the basic Autopilot package, I called Tesla Ownership and the person I spoke to confirmed that it is. Has anyone already taken delivery of a Model 3...

For those of you who ordered a 3 after Feb 28th with just basic Autopilot (not Enhanced AP, and without FSD) and already took delivery, what is the cost of upgrading to FSD from your account? I’m wondering if this will go up on Monday and now is the time to upgrade (if less than $7,000).

So I finally did, just ordered a P3D+ after doing an extensive test drive. A bit too much body roll for my taste, especially coming from a P85D+, but nothing a good set of coilovers won’t be able to fix. When I asked about the tires that are shipped by default from factory with the 20” wheels...

Hi all, I'm considering purchasing a Model 3 Performance instead of a P100D now (as 18650 cells likely won't take full advantage of Supercharger V3 rates, sadly) so I have a question for current owners on Model 3 seats -- and yes, I did a bunch of searching on here and other forums before...

Tesla is apparently inviting some Model 3 owners to the Supercharger V3 unveiling event in Fremont tonight: https://electrek.co/2019/03/06/tesla-supercharger-v3-teaser-fremont/ Is anyone on here going? If so, please free to share details as you hear them! Thank you

I am considering purchasing an inventory P100D that was built in mid- to late-2018 (based on an estimation of the last 6 digits of its VIN), and from the data provided by ev-cpo.com, this specific car has the CH04 option, described as "High-amperage charger upgrade". So this should technically...

Has any Tesla store in the Bay Area (or elsewhere) started to give test drives of Model 3 yet? I'd like to drive a performance AWD version at some point to see how it compares to my P85DL.

After being upgraded to 2018.21.9 by the service center while my car was there, I’ve unfortunately been subject to the much more frequent nags to hold the steering wheel, which as we now know is a misnomer as it still goes off even if you’re holding the steering wheel (it apparently needs...

What was your starting SoC %? What time of the day was it? What was the ambient temperature?

I just had a Tesla HPWC installed on an 80A circuit (max charge rate = 64A), and I'm noticing a hum around my electric service panel area whenever the current draw is around 50A and higher. It seems to go away completely below 48A, but around 50A it starts to get noticeable then gets louder and...

I received a call from a number I didn't recognize, so I didn't answer it. Turns out it was a sales person from Tesla SF stating that I had "shown interest in the car before" and wondering if I was willing to buy a car this year since I would still get free supercharging and tax credit. Got an...

I was hiking in the peninsula (off skyline) this weekend and upon returning to my car saw this crazy letter on my windshield... WOW, the extent to which people go to! [Moderator's note: image contains offensive language.]

In the last few releases, probably since 7.1, I've noticed the P symbol in the IC (instrument cluster) pop up randomly where I knew there was no "real" parking space. This would happen when driving relatively slowly in city traffic. So I finally got a screen capture of such an example as I was...

From images published on teslamotors.com, I've compiled the profiles of the Model S, Model Ξ, and Model X (in that order) below to show the similarities and subtle differences. All we're missing now is Model Y to have a SΞXY profile! :D
