    Can't get parts after collision. 3 months!

    Right. The collision center says that they not allowed to use salvaged or third party parts at risk of losing their Tesla authorized status.

    Can't get parts after collision. 3 months!

    I was hit by an unlicensed and uninsured motorist almost 3 months ago. The car is at an authorized Tesla collision center but we haven't been able to get the final part to get the repairs complete. There is not even an ETA for the part (a hinge bracket). Any suggestions on what I can do?

    Version 2022.16.x

    16.0.2 killed autosteer on my 2022 refreshed S plaid. No amount of rebooting fixed it. 0.3 downloading now.

    more on rattles in rear door area

    My rattle sound completely like it was coming from the rear right door, even if you sat in the rear seat. Tech listened for 5 seconds and indicated it was the rear seat back. Didn't seem possible but they replaced the seat back and the rattle is gone.

    Thoughts on phantom breaking after a 5800 mile roadtrip

    I find that with my new S the problem of driving on Autopilot adjacent to an HOV lane has become substantially worse. I drive the same route south of Houston twice a week and with my S Performance had no issue. Picked my plaid last week with V11 and now I can't use Autopilot. Everytime I pass a...

    Model S delivery date bumped significantly!!!

    Once I realized I could sell my leased 2020 S and come out ahead I started looking at the S Plaid. On the morning of the 24th the color combination I wanted said May/June and my second choice said Jan/Feb. Went back to decide at lunch and it now said December for all combinations. I ordered and...

    Wiki MASTER THREAD: Actual FSD Beta downloads and experiences

    10.4 sucked hard. 10.5 sucks hard. My family won't let me use it if they are in the car. Huge and frequent phantom braking events. For no reason. Clear road no traffic at 75 just hits the brakes. On non-highway roads. Just hits the brakes. Stop ahead. Heads at it full speed and at last minute...

    Wiki FSD Beta 10.4

    Should I be concerned that the lane lines in the visualization dance, the course projection line flails around and things disappear and reappear? In my first hour, the car cut off an ambulance travelling sedately in the adjoining lane, tried to move into the right lane 20 feet from making a left...

    Of course. Not something to kid about. Especially those 4 pm 11 hour rolled dogs.

    Range update

    Sounds like the perfect way for my kids to earn their allowance. Too bad they are away at school. Will have to grab a Big Gulp and and roller bar hot dog and do it myself. Except I don’t believe we have a v3 charger in range....

    5:30 am so will wait for better light but this is a 2020 build (September) and it was normal before the software update. Expect it is still the H build.

    Range update

    Picked up my S Performance Thursday (replaced a ‘17 P100D). It had 40.4. Expected range on normal (not trip range) charge. Went to the service center yesterday because Sirius XM is in dealer demo mode and I can’t add it to my account (still isn’t fixed btw...please help if you know what’s up)...

    New Car, No SiriusXM

    There are no more sunroofs as you say, but SiriusXM is included (physically...you still need a trial and/or subscribe). All glass roof presumably is as good as a sunroof.

    New Car, No SiriusXM

    Just took delivery of my new S Performance. Went to the SiriusXM tab and tried multiple refreshes to get the trial to start. No joy. Called SiriusXM to just add to my existing account. They say I have a trial that can only be activated by "the Dealer." Ha, yes, the dealer. Refreshes done...

    Model S gets $3K price drop then a $2570 drop to $69420!

    Taking delivery tomorrow. 2 price decreases in the three days preceding. Like having your birthday right after Christmas without getting screwed!

    Model S gets $3K price drop then a $2570 drop to $69420!

    I went and checked my Tesla account and it had already been adjusted to take account of the price drop. No intervention necessary.

    Model S gets $3K price drop then a $2570 drop to $69420!

    Ordered an S to be delivered this week. Any experience in getting them to drop price before I take delivery?

    2021 Model S

    Other than "I just want it" which is a perfectly fine rationale, why is this relevant? For other manufacturers, model year is pertinent because they make changes once a year for their cars (minor or major) and those changes are associated with the model year (which is many times different than...

    Wi-Fi Connection Help

    The older vehicles are notoriously twitchy with wifi. I spent months trouble shooting this. They don’t play well with certain routers, don’t play well with certain settings. I’ve found that the way certain traffic is handled effects the ability of the car to maintain a connection. In my case...

    New Tesla wall charger a ripoff

    I just received a gen 2 wall charger from Tesla to replace a defective one. They were supposed to send me a gen 3 but didn’t and now won’t respond. Maybe we can swap.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Ordered an S performance FSD in the middle of battery day and already have a VIN. Curious to see if that means an imminent delivery. Already scheduled to turn my lease in 2 weeks early as I can't stand the 4x per day 8 minute reboots, map redraw issues, can't stream anything and a long list of...

    Problem with Wi-Fi connection between Model S and Ubiquiti AP AC Pro Access Point

    i had a similar problem with the Netgear Orbis. Endless cycle of connects and disconnects after an Orbi firmware update. Tried for many weeks to fix until I added a new access point on a separate subnet. Finally also replaced the Orbi with the Orbi Pro and was able to assign a specific SSID that...

    2020.4.1 incoming

    I haven't had ping ponging and still don't after upgrade. What it DID fix is voice commands, which haven't worked for almost 9 months (i just got a spinney wheel for some period of time before it just quit), and map re-drawing which has been awful for at least 6 months. That alone is worth the...

    Need New Tires - 21" - What's Best?

    Pilot Sport 4S are a very nice upgrade over the Super Sports. Quiet, great grip, smooth ride. Less harsh than the SS. Only waiting to see (and hope for) better tread wear.

    Cars spinning in IC

    They asked me for videos, so I sent them. Interestingly, it happens mostly when I am stopped with a car behind me. Without a car behind me, it either doesn’t happen or the severity is less.

    Cars spinning in IC

    It has gotten much worse. Sent a bunch of videos to Tesla service today. Car isn’t swing cars adjacent, has them on top of each other and has them spinning and wobbling.

    Cars spinning in IC

    Understand it isn’t an issue when not moving. But if cameras can’t accurately place and orient cars while sitting still, question whether there is sufficient accuracy at 80 mph.

    Cars spinning in IC

    I'm on 24.4, but starting with the last update, when I’m stopped at a light, all of the vehicles around me spin in circles, jump around, overlap, etc. Used to see this only occasionally, with maybe one vehicle, but now it happens all the time. Don’t care if only cosmetic but if this is a...

    Tesla forced an update of my P85D to 2019.16.2

    I did have the opportunity to use v7 and v8 on my previous Tesla. Like v9, there were things to like and dislike. I happen to prefer 9. Also happen to think the overall improvements to the software/driving experience make any changes to the UI I don’t like are worth the upgrade. Not saying you...

    Tesla forced an update of my P85D to 2019.16.2

    Rounded corners was a callback to the Apple UI debates, not a Tesla example. Having used many car user interfaces with dizzying arrays of buttons that require inputs in multiple places within the cockpit, 6 deep menu stacks, arbitrary decision trees and useless choices (Audi anyone?), I find...

    Tesla forced an update of my P85D to 2019.16.2

    .....or most people don’t care or actually like it. I like it. I find it visually useful and easy to use. To me, people are bitching about rounded vs squared icons which is the least important part of the updates. Even with growing pains, v9nis way more competent than 8. Don’t like it? I totally...

    Software Update 2019.8.x

    So on an extended NoA with confirmations off, the car performed perfectly for 99% of the trip. Very smooth and rational lane changes, moved quickly into spaces where before it would sidle over cautiously. Only issues where near the end when I was about to head off the highway. 4 lanes to the...

    WiFi disconnect solution

    Only way I’ve found to fix this is Orbi pro using the employee network (not the guest one) with no visibility into the main netwok. Something on my network if sharing with the Tesla won’t let the Tesla to connect. Which is a Tesla issue not a network issue. But until they upgrade their chip...

    Car Squeaking when coming to complete stop (only with 21" Performance Wheels)

    Happens to me mostly when humid or has been raining. Switch regen to low, speed up to 50 a couple of times and brake hard and it will go away for a week or so. Don’t forget to switch regen back to standard.

    Navigate on Autopilot disappearance?

    Same happened to me. Part of a rash of saved settings mysteriously going back to defaults over the past year, including seat positions! Starting to think that as updates get staged but not yet finally installed it is messing with things. Wild conjecture but it seems to happen in the days leading...

    Losing interest in the Tesla Brand

    Uh, not quite. I buy a 4k tv for 2000 and they tell me that if I pay 100 extra I will get 8k as soon as it is available, subject to software and the FCC approving 8k broadcasts. In the interim, Samsung upgrades certain of the internals (local dimming from edge lit, new UI and apps, faster...
