    Sliding door on center console stopping at wrong place

    The sliding door on my center console, 2022, no longer stays all the way forward, and instead stops half-way over the forward cubby/drawer, instead of exactly in the middle, between the drawer and cup holder. At least it does hold in that spot, and slides all the way back when properly touched...

    Supercharger - Big Bear Lake, CA (LIVE 28 Oct 2023, 6 V3 stalls)

    Tesla just announced the “winners” of their poll to build out new supercharging stations. I received an email from Tesla a few days ago, notifying me that one of the places I voted for, Big Bear, was selected as a place to host a supercharger. Whether that happens or not, is certainly to be...

    Range loss on 2022 refresh

    My regular 90% charge limit seemed a bit low, so for the first time in a while, I charged last night to 100%. I peaked at 388. My max should be 405, and I have charged to that in the past, but the last time was probably 9 months ago. This is my 4th MS, and will be 1 year old this month. I have...

    Side view mirror malfunction with profile change

    Not sure if anyone else has this problem: whenever I change my profile to Valet or to my wife, upon return to my profile, the passenger side mirror is pointed at the ground. I have it set on all the profiles to not tilt down upon reverse (except the Valet, which I cannot seem to change). In...

    Top toolbar

    My apologies in advance if I am being a moron. My wife's 2019 Model 3, and her new 2022 Model 3, both have a top toolbar showing the lock status, driver profile, sentry mode icon, and a clock. These were present on my prior Model S, which also included HomeLink. On my new 2022 Model S, it is...

    Weird musical chimes upon Park

    Quite a number of times now, but definitely not consistent, musical chimes will play immediately when I put my car into park. It almost sounds like a video game start-screen. Anyone else have this? It is definitely volume dependent, going up an down with whatever I am playing on the radio, but...

    Flow Forged vs Forged?

    I am hoping to get a second set of 19" wheels for my refresh Model S. I am looking at sites such as T-Sportline, Getyouwheels and Signature. T-sportline does not yet have their flow-forged options in 19's, though they have it in other sizes. Signature only has forged. Flow-forged is...

    12V Access: Model S 2021 Refresh

    I am creating this thread to discuss access to power for those who desire modifications to the 2021 refresh Model S, such as adding a radar detector, dashcams, additional LED lighting, etc. This is being already discussed in multiple different areas, but not consolidated anywhere. I...

    OBD Port? Model S Refresh

    My last 3 MS's all had OBD ports in the top of the driver side footwell. This is missing in my wife's M3. Can anyone tell me if it is there in the refresh? I could really use it for 12V power access.

    Supercharger support: Total fail

    Once again, Tesla’s horrific customer service has demonstrated itself. Such a shame, given how exemplary there were when they first launched. I took a road trip this past weekend. About 2 hours after my 2nd supercharger stop, I received an alert, both on my IC screen and the main screen that...

    FS: Model S Roof Rack with Ski Attachment: Panoramic Roof Only

    For Sale: Thule Whispbar Rack with Whispbar Ski attachment for the Tesla Model S, with Panaromic Roof only. I love this rack, but no longer have a panoramic roof. This is not the Tesla-branded version, but rather the Thule one, that is apparently identical in every way. Gently used and in...

    Model S 2012-2016 OEM 19" Rim and Tire. Brand New

    This is a brand new Tesla Model S 19" rim with Michelin tire. Brand new. Just the one. It was entirely wrapped in plastic until yesterday, when I unwrapped it to take these pictures. I bought this with the intention of using it as a spare. No TPMS. I am in West Los Angeles, and not willing to...

    Roof rack for glass roof: Retrofit

    I have a late 2018 MS with a glass roof. I would like to attach a roof/ski rack, of which I still have from my prior panoramic roof. According to Tesla's site, there is a rack available for the MS with glass roof built after 2/11/2019, and that there is a retrofit available for earlier glass...

    Interesting partial remote access failure

    About 2 months ago, I had an MCU failure and a new one was installed. Since that time, I have been unable to access several important features through the Tesla iPhone app. Specifically, I am unable to: Unlock doors Open or close the trunk, or Open the frunk However, I am able to, honk the...

    Hit and Run. Software update screwed me over

    I just found a large scrape with some minor misalignment of my rear bumper. I didn't notice it until a week later, as I was away using an ICE vehicle. I know exactly when and where it happened, as my driving and parking has been extremely limited. I went to review my recordings, only to...

    Trip advice, vicinity of Bishop, CA

    Moderator note: The first 6 posts in this thread were moved from the thread for the Bishop, CA Supercharger. I need some help kind folk. I know this is not specific to the Bishop Supercharger, but figure this is the best place to post to get answers in a hurry. I have a backpacking trip this...

    Charge port pin broke off inside HPWC handle

    I tried to plug in my Model S today, and kept getting an orange flashing charge port, advising me to check for obstruction. I didn't see any, and after trouble shooting with support, they asked me to drive to my local service center. There, the cables fit in just fine. The rep there then...

    Punctured tire. $98.00

    I just had Tesla come by my house to fix a small puncture in my tire. There was a simple screw in the tire that I found a few days ago when I saw a slow leak. I've been losing about 2 PSI/day. I took it to a couple of tire shops here in LA, and they refused to patch it because it is a Tesla...

    Poll: "Systems are powering up" error message

    Remove Visor Airbag Stickers

    All new cars have these, but the size of this sticker on new Model S's is ridiculous. It's all I see when I put the visor down. I read the message and I understand. I do not need to see it every time. Now, I want it gone. I have removed them in the past from leatherette visors using Goop (or...

    New Car with cracked roof glass

    I was just inside my 8-day-old 75D, cleaning up my back seat floor mats after the rain, when I looked up and saw a curvy crack running along almost the entire length of the passenger side of the roof glass. It starts around the front passenger seat and curves its the way to the back. I wasn't...

    AP1 to AP2: Not impressed

    I have been driving a 2016 Model S 85D for the last few years (and a pre-AP for a few years prior). I just missed the release of AP2. With all the hype of FSD, I was so disappointed for the first couple of months, only to feel much better to see that AP2 took a long time to even catch up to...

    Can 120kW Superchargers be “retrofitted” to lower watt “Urban” style Superchargers?

    I wonder if it is possible to retrofit a classic supercharger to an Urban supercharger. Well, of course it is possible. The question is, how feasible is it? Do the stall cabinets needs to be changed, or is that just cosmetic?

    Are we seeing the end for building non-Urban superchargers in So Cal?

    I was looking at the map, and every new supercharger going back over 6 months have been the Urban-type. These include: Thousand Oaks: West Glendale Carlsbad (under construction) San Diego Downtown Riverside Downey-Stonewood Downey-Lakewood Riverside San Bernadino Fontana (under construction)...

    Time to renew: 75D vs inventory 100D

    My apologies to some of you who have seen a similar post by me in the Ski Rack thread. My lease is up in 6 months and I am trying to decide which vehicle to get as a replacement. My choice is either a 75D or 100D. P is not a consideration. Too expensive and absolutely no need. Tesla reached...

    Model S Ski Rack, without panorama sunroof?

    My lease on my 85D is coming to an end. Tesla is trying to get me into a new lease, and found a 100D for me, but without the sunroof, having the glass roof instead. I LOVE the glass roof, but if I am correct, there is no option to add a roof rack. My understanding is that this is only...

    Supercharger availability status: All messed up

    I saw someone else mention this in another thread last week, but could not find a discussion on it. I just drove from LA to Fresno and back today. This is what I found: Tejon Ranch: Screen said 14 of 24 stalls available. Not one single car was there. Kettleman: Screen said 30 of 40 stalls...

    Seeking advice on charging stops for LA to Fresno round trip in a day

    Good day y'all, I need to travel from LA to Fresno, and back, in 1 day. Actually, I have to do this twice a week apart. Yep, it sucks. I have checked both my car's nav and EVtripplanner and both tell me to stop in Buttonwillow. When I delete Buttonwillow as a charge stop, EVTripplanner says...

    Free charging at work. Declining. Here’s why.

    I work in a very large office building where I have a fantastic dedicated parking spot. It’s right next to the elevators, never gets blocked in and is extra wide, with the additional bonus of an unused walkway immediately adjacent. In other words, massive and convenient, where I can also...

    Car will not allow reengagement of Autosteer until parked if user ignores repeated warnings

    Sorry to start a another new thread out of many regarding v8.0, but I thought that this could be deserving of it's own discussion. The title says it all: per the bullet point in Elon's blog "Car will not allow reengagement of Autosteer until parked if user ignores repeated warnings." I would...

    Supercharger - Buena Park, CA (removed from car nav 31 Aug 2018 but still operational, 8 V2 stalls)

    There have been several mentions on a variety of threads about a Supercharger going into the Buena Park Service Center. I thought I would start a dedicated thread to this. What I have gathered from contributors here at TMC, is that to date, this has been word of mouth. A search of the...

    Supercharger - Lima, MT

    Hi All, Look what I just found! My fiance is from Montana, and I thought how fun it would be to drive her there in my MS. I doubt we ever will, given the time involved, but it is fun to fantasize about it anyway. I saw that there are some pretty good evidence for SC's coming to Idaho...

    OBD II Power Output/Constraints

    I have my new MS on order and preparing for all the mods I will be performing, likely on the first free day I have available. Two (of the many) additions I will make will be a dashcam (Blackvue) and a radar detector (Escort 9500 or similar). My preference for the dashcam will be to obtain...

    Best EV Charging Sign Ever

    First, I know there are a few threads out there on charging etiquette and ICE'ing. I thought I would share this here. Mods: feel free to merge with another thread if you feel necessary. I ran into this sign a long time ago in a City of Beverly Hills parking lot, but never got around to...

    Center Console Problems: losing items

    I received Tesla’s center console a couple of months ago. Overall, I am very happy with it. I get the attractiveness of the open center area, but I simply have too much stuff that I needed to have organized. Since I received it, I have been much happier. I actually never store beverages in...

    Second Los Angeles Supercharger location?

    Is the dash/steering control for the sunroof is backwards?

    The dash/steering control for the sunroof seems backwards to me. On the center screen, there are two methods of opening the sunroof: either by sliding the "top" down, or sliding the sidebar down. The steering wheel control is opposite: if the sunroof is closed, it is listed as 0% and you...

    Front Grill Access
