Slightly oversized for 24 miles commuting, so there is obviously "no reason in the reasoning" except making yourself a big pleasure... to cut a long story short :confused: Welcome to the club though :cool:

Then you are luckier in the US than I am as, apparently, these UV devices did not reach the Tesla SC in Belgium yet. So, for the moment, we are left with the problem as far as I know. To get an official answer, I will request a repair through the smartphone application with some pictures of my...

My reseller just told me that this problem is occuring almost systematically on the "new generation" screens. The previous ones (first generation were "all" breaking at some point and needed replacement - this is my case). So now it is supposed to be "better" but it suffers from this yellowing...

Thanks for this great feedback. I'll take a look at your video ;) Responding to ucladukes, I am not totally sure about USA as I'm located in Europe but I purchased my second hand Model S in a (specialised) non-official Tesla dealer and the reflexion + purchase process was really smooth and...

It must depend on the exact characteristics of the UV itself as well. Duration of treatment is a parameter too for sure. I don't think that cold temperature has an effect, on the contrary I would say. I guess that high temperatures are more critical for this phenomenon to appear, at least was...

Very positive story to all regards indeed. Thanks for sharing this positive attitude with us, so rare nowadays. All the best to you and your dream car.

After the first parking time in plain sun yesterday, I noticed the yellowing appearing on my Model S central screen :eek: Could this disappear when it will cool down, or is it now there "forever"? Being in Europe, I would have to check for a UV lamp available here...Maybe in DIY shop.

I tried the same reboot to get the update but this apparently did not solve the issue. Just after one or two more attempts, all of a sudden, the download went beyond the critical first 10% and the install process happened successfully. But then I noticed that I had lost my data connectivity. A...

Just the 2 scroll buttons and I recovered LTE connectivity

After several attempts, I finally managed to go through the full process. Lost connectivity after install but a reboot solved the problem. Didi not try the USB yet but unsure if this is available on my model anyway.

Update done after a few unsuccessfull attempts. For an "old" model like mine, just some minor bug correction and display of the SUC stalls out of order. Can somebody tell me if USB music is available for my version? I did try in the past but no USB icon in sight...

Caught in the update loop for the moment as well... :mad:

Interesting o_O

It seems a bit contradictory to purchase a Tesla and then complaint about the changes brought by the manufacturer updates. This is one of the main characteristics of this brand, right? I am not sure what this death rattle exactly is. For sure you won't get it in a Prius :p

That's a nice approach to pick the convenient locations for a stop rather than "just" stopping for charge. Of course this comes with the distances and variety of locations offered in the US. Being in Europe, this is not so easy and you rather go by obligation (trip planning) than by...

Great story with a lot of practical details ...and useful insight on how the Model S behaves :) Thanks

Take care and we hope for the best for your car insurance: finger crossed.

Still stuck with 12.5 on my Model S :(

And, by the way, what's the point of constantly driving on low setting? o_O

I currently have Dunlop Sport MAXX GT and am very satisfied.

Not sure if ludicrous launch was the real solution but can a spider withstand so many G's!? o_O It's probably gone... to the infinity and beyond.

I do agree with this reasoning, especially if you are "good to go" :) At least you can see the actual car "in real" and decide accordingly.

Currently have very few time left for my hobby, but I used to be a reasonable photo enthusiast as well. Apparently you are a strong supporter of post production and filters :D I'm using C1 software, but I'm not a big fan of "pushing" the cursors, even though it delivers some good shots from...

Congratulations and looking forward to seeing your pictures and videos! Enjoy ;)

No absolutely not, sorry for the confusion if any. I did use emojis as some kind of punctuation to my sentences, no second thought at all.

Does the blue steering wheel appear on the dashboard when you trigger the AP?

Are you speaking of a wall or a mobile charger ?

Congratulations on your great purchase... and history ;) You'll be very happy for sure :rolleyes:

Well, among some "oldies" still have this one :D And I had this fuel rocket before purchasing the electric rocket :)

Call Tesla assistance! Did you follow the right reboot procedure, I've read some variations of it (steering wheel buttons, scroll wheels, with or without brake pedal pushed) without knowing the exact accuracy of them. Scroll wheels are for the reboot of the center screen, steering wheel...

There are priorities in life, just a question of choice ;) Suggestion to Elon for whom it may concern: after dog and camp mode, lonely shopping mode :D

Well, beside the global and options price indeed, just to name a few: range, load time, brake feeling, chargers availability and, just personal taste, the global look/line of the car.

I jumped directly from 2020.8.2 to 2020.12.5 two days ago. It never proposed the 8.3 strangely enough. Anyway, having a P85D from 2015, it does not seem to add any significant improvement to my car :( By the way, I didn't get the "software folder" from the previous post: how do you see that?

Ok, mine is the one above mentioned. Here is another video for the one you say: Or this one maybe:

Quite good explanation here:

From the experience of someone who actually did it: is this tricky? Which are the tips to do it "easily"? The chrome bar is glued to the rear tail lights, correct? Thanks in advance. Looks like a good project for my Easter weekend in confinement...

Such problems have mutliple causes, most of them coming from the cellphone itself (brand, os version, BT version, compatibiity, signal strength, apps installed, authorisations given, etc.) Don't blame the car first ;)

As far as I am concerned : did it last night : no problem at all

But I guess that the Taycan has other downsides compared with Tesla :rolleyes: Slippery ground announced :p

It is possible to disconnect and take these lights away from the car but it requires some mechanical "talent", a few tools and a lot of patience! Some videos can be found on the net but it is rarely detailed... The question is then "how to remove the insects when you have taken the light apart...

As far as I am concerned, using the following (iOS) Apps : "Nikola" to monitor the car "Plugshare" and "Plugsurfing" for chargers "Needtocharge" just in case I have considered others, but not convinced so far :cool:

Mine is a Model S from 2015 purchased in a reseller (but as second hand) a couple of months ago. Not knowing which "failures" I could possibly face, I took an extra "warranty coverage" for 1 year and 40.000 km. I hope that if such problems would arise, if any, it would come during the insured...

Glad to read your testimony and I must say that I'm in the same boat :) Quite frankly, it's also nice to read positive things rather than always reading complaints, sometimes for very tiny things IMHO. Congrats and enjoy!

Trilling van het stuur is niet normaal als het echt serieus is : whatever the speed is in my humble opinion... Begint het op een bepaald snelheid? Specifiek met wegbedekking of overal? Spotify en GPS problemen mogen van de antenne komen... misschien (slecht of foutieve receptie)? Opnieuw...

I am a very recent (and proud) owner of a TESLA Model S P85D. My son who just graduated as bio-engineer convinced me after long discussions of the advantages of an EV. Beside the global debate, I must confess that the visit of the retail center and the ride with the precise car just convinced...

Can this one be considered unicorn? P85+ red with beige leather interior and black glass (blind) roof.

No problem with BT stability on my side but I am still on 8.2 For the moment the car does not get the 8.3 update strangely enough

Did you finally manage to install the update? Some are already mentioning a version 2020.8.3 ... not yet available as far as I am concerned apparently. Take care

This pandemy is affecting the entire world at different degrees but we will overcome this, as we did with the previous ones. The attitude of our leaders and of the population will impact the time needed to cross this ordeal.

Dog Mode schijnt het best oplossing inderdaad ;)
