    Steam will not launch games on my Model S

    Yes. This seemed to do the trick along with reformatting my SSD. Have downloaded one game and installed and worked perfectly. Going to install some more games over the next few days just to make sure. Thank you for the advice +1 to you👍

    Steam will not launch games on my Model S

    I have yet to get a game to launch on my 2022 Model S LR built in April. My car meets all the specs. I can get Steam to launch. I can download games and install games, but the games will not launch. I get a spinning Steam logo but no game. I'm using a 1TB Samsung T7 SSD for storage. anyone else...

    Further discussion and analysis on why the yoke is not good

    If you're inferring the Plaid is not allowed on the track because it is unsafe and does not have good brakes, I believe you're misinformed. My track "Gateway Speedway" restricts sub 10 second cars due to lack of roll cage. A rule written for older cars that did not have crash protection. I'm...

    Further discussion and analysis on why the yoke is not good

    Love the yoke. 2 months and now a traditional wheel seems somewhat old fasion. Much like the lack a physical buttons it is a matter of preference. I'm pretty sure not many are willing to go back to a Blackberry from an iPhone. My only qualm with the yoke is the signal location.

    First road trip in My 2022 MSLR. Trip from Southern Illinois to Wester North Carolina 1200-mile round trip Car functioned flawlessly. Quiet and smooth with no creaks or leaks. Charging at superchargers was particularly easy. Trying to find other charges (that worked) was particularly...

    When I first ordered the car my SA was very good about my concerns. He transferred to the KC Tesla service center but still kept in touch with me with updates about my car. He reached out the day the car was delivered and asked if I received the correct tires. he told me he had documented my...

    Went for my first Tesla service for my 2022 MSLR. I have a 2020 model 3 that has never required a service appointment in the 3 years we have owned it, so this is my first Tesla service experience. When my car was delivered last month, it was missing the trunk parcel shelf and had summer...

    I will have to ask my brother for the specs. Ended up running a 5 wire cable because that was all I could get my hands on in the length I needed. It was a pretty thick cable I believe 3 or 4 gauge.. The wire is heavy and thick and not too easy to run in walls. Sorry if that was not helpful, but...

    I would think they would be happy to get the car off the lot and paid for a week early. When I picked up my car I saw a SA for about 2 minutes. Confirmed I had the wrong tires, programmed a fob and put on the temp plate. Everything else was done on the App. If it were not for a severe storm...

    Yikes. Around here that would be $1200 job. My brother is a union electrician. I ran the cable and paid for supplies he did all the connections. I paid him in free healthcare. 3 hours start to finish. Most time spent finding path for cable to run from basement to garage. 60ft cable subpanel...

    yikes. I thought 8 months was long. Worse when everyone tells you to be patient. I just stopped looking at my EDDs after a while. using the same mentality on the Stock market of late. Looking at it just makes it worse.:eek:

    Doing some minor tweaks to my recent delivery. Added matte screen protectors, floor mats, and TESLA letters to the rear. Thinking of adding spoiler next, but not sure if I just want to keep the back clean. Opinions welcome

    When I ordered I asked my SA if there was an option for AS tires. He told me most delivered in the Midwest came with SA tires. he then checked with service and they told him\ they would swap them out without charge if the car came with summer tires. When I showed up at my delivery I noticed the...

    Woke up today to a beautiful Tesla delivery day in the Midwest. Sun was shining and 78 degrees. Arrived at the St. Louis location to take delivery and a hell broke loose.

    I take delivery of my Model S tommorow. i plan to pay with the app with direct withdrawl from my checking. Tesla keeps asking me to pay early. Seems strange to pay for the car before I get a chance to look at it. Has anyone else paid through the App? Did you wiat to pay till you took delivery?

    Seems like a pretty standard build. Seems strange that would take so long. I assumed mine would take even longer than it has. I ordered the bae MSLR in red. I figured they would make all the red Plaids first and would save the LR for last. Maybe I'm just lucky. Delivery is scheduled for this...

    There are those that speak of this "algorithm". Some say it is rooted in mystical numerology from Persia, others a grand Lottery controlled by the deep state. But let's face it, Elon would not have such a simple method. The truth is much more interesting.... Little Elon was brought up in...

    Is Model S LR even shipping?

    I ordered my MSLR on October 7, 2021. Only upgrade was red paint. I'm scheduled to take delivery on May 19th. I totally understand your frustration, but the refresh is now on been refreshed with tilt screen, new taillights and new headlights. Hopefully this will help reduce some of the...

    I can see where non car people may think the old lights are the newer model. Many Car companies increase visual complexity as model matures. Tesla seems to do just the opposite by Trimming and streamlining existing design.

    In my practice if I take patients with better insurance first, I would be call unethical. Stange how some people have waited over a year and many well over 6 months to see someone get matched almost immediately. Oh, you are in California, Want FSD, getting a Plaid, etc. Step right this way...

    EDD monkey has struck again (6 of 7 times, I have lost count) As predicted at exactly 8am this morning pushed back to 5/13 to 6/1. Tighter time. but that gives me little confidence. OfCourse no VIN. A search for the Model S in the US brings up exactly 3. 2 in Hawaii and one in NJ, all being Plaids.

    I'm 7 months in heading into month 8, but I know many have been waiting longer. I think the most frustrating aspect of the wait is the constant tease of an EDD only to be changed every month. One would think there would be an order to such things. People who ordered first would receive their...

    The beginning of my EDD range starts tomorrow 04/30 - 5/21. My previous 5 EDD changed on the first Saturday of the range precisely at 8am central time. So, I expect tomorrow I will either get very good new or bad news. Maybe I will go with "no news is good news"

    I like the looks of the 21s but the practicality on Illinois roads is a bit in question. Also difficult to buy all season tires for 21s. If I lived in a warm climate with good roads I would definitely go with 21s. At $100k plus for a car the difference of $5k or 20 miles per charge really does...
