With the long weekend coming up, I thought I would come back and try and make Homelink work so I can finally get rid of the old garage door opener. I appreciate the advice. Fingers crossed. If this doesn't work, I may have to get a new garage door opener so it will work with my car 🤣. My Dad...

My old Juicebox plugged into a dryer port that I used for years for a PHEV Ford Fusion and Honda Clarity before my 2021 Model S melted after about a year of charging my Model S. Well the connector to the Juicebox melted and the dryer plug melted. When I called out our regular electrician to...

I have a similar experience to you except my LR was delivered at the end of September so it's a 2021. I had a few minor issues at delivery but got all those fixed thanks to the inspection checklist (funny, I know I had some of the same issues with my Benz and Ford/ remember interior gaps but...

After complaining about the Yoke constantly (why reinvent the wheel) for the first few months after getting my car, I got used to it and don't notice it anymore. I miss the stalks (hit the wrong turn signal a lot still) and center horn (dangerously couldn't honk in time 3x and barely avoided...

LR is back down to $14k more than I paid in September 21 (but I ordered much earlier and is why I couldn't change my order to add the 21" wheels/ no matter how much I wanted them, it wasn't worth paying an extra $10k to get them). As someone else said, the prices are probably almost back to...

"Not advertised" is a neat argument when Tesla doesn't have a PR dept or any paid advertising and solely advertises via Musk, its sole advertiser in chief. I agree that Elon speak/ well Elon promises are a bit legendary at this point but there is one big distinction here in that Musk was...

I have a relatively early 2021 refresh but thought sometime after I got mine that Tesla moved the horn back to the center of the steering wheel (I mean yoke). Yoke you get used to. Horn is a much bigger thing. First three months I had the car, I (a) couldn't find the horn and barely avoided...

I didn't think about that until you mentioned it. You're right: $2000 is way too much for a RAM upgrade. Hopefully we 2021 refresh owners didn't secretly lose the higher end (PS5) computer hardware to the same supply chain issue that (you know) cost us tilt screens, lights, etc.

Well CRAP. I guess promoting and listing features and then having your CEO (advertiser/ promoter in chief since Tesla doesn't advertise) not only promote playing Witcher III and Cyberpunk but actually let people play these games during the launch event for the 2021 Refreshed Model S. Don't...

Well us 2021 Model S Refresh early adopters (9/2021 delivery) are not worried for nothing especially with early reports from another thread quoting Tesla Service centers estimating the retrofit cost to customers at $2k. I don't think final word has come down but maybe it has. If so, it is...

That's a really clever response since Tesla doesn't advertise period because Elon himself is the promoter/ advertiser in chief. Elon and Tesla has said enough about this that it doesn't matter. Remember, they announced that the new Model S will have advanced gaming and even did a joint...

I have MyQ and while it works most of the time, it does sometimes frustratingly not work and when this happens, often locks up requiring you to be at home/ go home and use the wired button or clicker. As long as you understand this, have a backup, and are willing to deal with the occasional...

I have Homelink which never worked (I have an old garage opener that for some reason has never been compatible with any of my Homelink optioned cars) and already use MyQ (mainly for the door sensor so I can check to see if I closed the door without driving back home). I agree that I can't see...

Thanks a lot! My refreshed 2021 Model S LR is a little over one year old and I noticed that my 90% charged range (my max charge) is a little over 20 miles lower than what it showed when I first got the car. I was worried about the 5% range drop over 9000 post-pandemic miles but it looks like...

+ another one. 36.2 installed, woke the car up and no buzz/ whine. It's finally gone. I love OTA updates.

I thought the same thing as you before trying this admittedly stupid sounding fix because my charger without being propped up worked (and still works) on my Honda Clarity. So (1) my charger works on my Clarity without a prop, (2) will stop on my Model S almost every time after 15-30 minutes...

I'm glad I found this thread. I thought I was going crazy because I couldn't remember hearing the whine before. I guess I'll add my voice to the chorus chirping at Tesla Service. Not the best reason to start checking the forum regularly again but this is not a bad place to be.

I had a similar problem with a Juicebox which charged my Ford Fusion and then Honda Clarity PHEV with no problems. After 15-30 minutes, the Tesla would stop charging and I'd get a red ring when I went to check on it. After the problem persisted almost every charge even after a month long...

Not 1-2 minutes but mine would regularly stop after 10-15 minutes for a while now. Very annoying to keep unplugging and replugging it in. I didn't take it in to service because the last time my car went in for service for a scheduled charging issue (which actually might have been the same...

I agree service is pretty bad now but one reason is because they are growing sales much faster than they are able to grow their Service capacity. I got tricked by my best friend's experience who had an early Model S when Service was incredible and super responsive because they had so few cars...

I finally got my car back and (knock on wood), scheduled charging works again. I'm not sure whether we have the same issue but before getting fixed, my car would also not charge at the scheduled time but would charge if I unplugged and plugged it back in again. If you take it in, you should...

Last message on this. My service rep confirmed that my car is still in the diagnosis queue MEANING that there is a "shortage" of techs able to diagnose vehicles and they are still working to diagnose issues on cars that came into the service center before mine (so more than 2 weeks ago) and...

I wish that were my case. I let it sit 2 days thinking the same thing but it didn't charge the second night either. Tried several other plugging situations: plugging in the morning (no charge at 9 pm), plugging in afternoon (sometimes charge at 9 pm but sometimes not), and lots of others. Oh...

Thanks. I have a refreshed 2021 Model S (LR). Since I am now working from home, I don't have a scheduled departure time so don't use that one. The issue is if I leave my car plugged in all day (say from a morning Costco run) and it is scheduled to charge starting at 9 pm, I wake up the next...

Is there a known Scheduled Charging software bug? My car has been at Tesla Service for going on 2 weeks with no explanation and with estimated completion dates being pushed back every day (new estimated date I got today is next week/ first estimated date was the afternoon of the day that I...

Horn and Yoke were my big issues at first too. Like @Ohmster , I just slam the right side of the Yoke and it's fine now (just adjust slam point a little to the right/ agree that they didn't need to move the horn but I got used to it and it's not an issue anymore). Similarly, while I won't say...

Got excited for a second when I got a message in my app saying they broke through their bottleneck and were making progress. I asked if that meant the current estimate for my car being ready by tomorrow was accurate. Of course NOT. The message I got back was that they are finally getting...

Argh, I hear you though I wish they would push my appointment instead of taking my car for a week and doing nothing because they're too busy to look at it. I took my car in for scheduled service last week because scheduled charging doesn't work (doesn't start charging on scheduled charging but...

It would help with my short T-Rex arms so I don't have to reach as far to hit Nav or Spotify buttons depending on the screen layout. The only downside to the new landscaped center screen and I have thought that tilt would be nice more than once since I took delivery but otherwise I hear you...

I am not expecting a solution at this point. I'm just glad I can get Spotify to work. My TuneIn stopped working a few weeks ago and nothing I do can make it work again (just spins and spins). Listening to podcasts on Spotify without the ability to speed it up to 1.25 speed is painful. I...

I hope they at least make it an option for pre June 22 refresh Model S owners. Best case (and admittedly least likely outcome), Tesla agrees to retrofit for free. Second best case, Tesla agrees to retrofit for some reasonable fee. Worst case, Tesla lies and says it's not possible because it's a...

Thanks for the link and the recommendation. I was worried about the warning on the Tesla cover about damaging tint jobs so I ordered the one from Amazon. While the door flaps aren't perfect because of the lack of handles above the windows in the back seat to hang them on, I was able to get the...

Maybe this hasn't been posted and answered before. A fellow long time Model S owner "speculates" that the car is in sleep mode and for some reason is not waking up to charge when scheduled. Product of working from home, leaving it plugged in, and not driving for a few days? I'm going to...

I have been using scheduled charge to start charging at 9 pm and it works most of the time. Every once in a while, it doesn't charge (without any error messages) but I always had plenty of range and it charged the next evening. The past week, the car didn't charge for 2 days in a row and the...

Thanks for the advice. Will do. Let's see if increasing the rental car allowance will increase the rate since adding my 24 year old son for some reason LOWERED my rate.

How consistent are Tesla's insurance rates? It looks like they may go up but 10-15% doesn't worry me (Tesla's insurance quote is $1800 a year less than my current coverage from AAA). The weird thing about the Tesla quote (which is making me worry) is that it went down $5 after I added my 24...

They are ugly. I just got mine and was about to put them on the same way that I put on my stickers on my other EVs (with one little one on the rear bumper as pictured in your post) BUT read the instructions and now am confused. Did the instructions change? The ones that came with mine say...

Did anyone figure out whether the window clips for the doors will mess up a tint job? I may just get the cheapo Amazon version to be safe.

Noooo! I guess we won't be getting the tilting screen via a software update. I watched the video with much anticipation. We have all the hardware for the tilting screen but NO MOTORS. I guess supply chain constraints (and maybe cost) caused Tesla to ditch the designed and mostly built out...

Thanks! I think you're right. I took my car in for the airbag recall yesterday and they replaced the front drivers side and passengers side door seals to take care of the adhesive leaking issue. When I got home, I had to keep going back to re-close the doors b/c they were harder to close again...

I agree 100% on the horn and blind spot monitoring (my son's Honda is better in this regard). With respect to the doors, how hard do you slam it? The reason I ask is that it took me about a week to get used to using noticeably more force than closing the doors for any other car to close the...

Yep, it's like a mid year or next model year update. All automakers update: Tesla more so/ the just don't refresh very often. As for the order time, those of us with orders before the first delivery had some features that either disappeared or have not arrived yet so we have the opposite...

If that's true and enough regular people know about the lights to reject deliveries to wait for them, we've won. Everyone is on this forum. Wow, I used to not care about the lights and now I'm thinking I might not be as happy with my car once they come out with new lights.

Sorry, not out of the loop. When the official Lucid numbers came out, there was pure SPECULATION on this thread about maybe Elon sandbagging the official range numbers until Lucid's numbers were official. Hopes for a software update that increased our range were based on nothing but that...

Oh, now that I see it in writing, I feel bad. The link is for 2017-2021 model years so it might not apply to the refresh Model S but I'm probably just sticking fingers in my ears.

I'd take the rumored update that gives us more range (I don't think Elon was sandbagging Lucid after all). What's the deal with all the headlight talk? That was one part of the car I didn't really think that much about but now I have FOMO. I tried looking at articles about the patent, but they...

I set the appt up with the app within 24 hours after pickup (for almost a month out/ first available). Since my PPF guy who I dropped the car at within a week after delivery said the mostly cosmetic issues I found after inspecting the car over 2 hours during pickup were actually not issues from...

I'm sure this has been said before but for those taking delivery now or soon, make sure to schedule your inspection for any issues ASAP (within 24 hours). I scheduled my appointment for a bunch of minor things that Tesla cancelled on its own and everything was so minor, I didn't bother to...

Me too. I spent 2+ hours inspecting, scheduled an appt. for a list of cosmetic issues but the next day, I couldn't really see half of them and my PPF/ceramic guy said they were fine so when Tesla cancelled my appointment (I still don't know why), it was good because it saved me the trouble of...

LOL! Even without attributing profit seeking tendencies on Tesla, the cheaper wheels presumably have higher demand leading to longer delivery times. If it's worth it to you and you can afford it, get the more expensive wheels and get your car sooner. I would have made that choice but for the...
