    Trunk stopped beeping

    Hey all, I noticed that my trunk beep has stopped. Does anyone know if there’s an easy way to toggle this that may have happened, or do I need to take it in? Edit: it’s a 2019 100D

    2020.16 update

    I sent them a note via an “Other” request service appointment in the mobile app basically saying “I’m sure things are slow right now with far fewer people on the road. I’m wondering it that means requesting an update to HW3 is possible?” It was installed within two days.

    Sheikh, et al. v. Tesla, Inc. Settlement - Thoughts?

    Weird. Mine was for $20.60. Tesla bought back that car a year ago, so I’m not complaining. Odd that the amounts are so different though.

    I Want To Hire Someone to De-Noise my Model S Interior

    Chiming in to say I’d love to know if someone does this. My first S was a nightmare made worse by service, and I’ve avoided taking my second one in like the plague. It rattles a lot, but I know once panels start popping off for discovery, I’ll get it back with a whole host of new issues. I’d...

    V10 Bluetooth playlist?

    Very strange. Mine doesn't work at all. I wonder if it's an S vs 3 thing. Maybe they forgot to add the control to the S version of the software.

    V10 Bluetooth playlist?

    It's pretty worthless though. You can't click on a track to change it. Just see what's in the list.

    Best Black Carpet Floor Mats?

    I ordered the MAXpider front set from Amazon. I think the Lloyds might be more my style, but if there’s one place I don’t want a Prop 65 warning, it’s in something that’ll be boiling in my car with all the windows shut. Thanks for the feedback everyone!

    Best Black Carpet Floor Mats?

    I just saw this thread, but the mats people dig aren't on Amazon right now. Need Floor Mat recommendation Not sure if that's a permanent thing, or just a stock issue. If anyone else has any positive suggestions, I'm all ears.

    Best Black Carpet Floor Mats?

    My 2019 S came with incredibly cheap floor mats. They're curling up like those plastic fortune telling fish (until they hit the velcro attach points). I wish I'd kept the ones in my 2017 S, but instead I'm on the lookout for something sturdy and solid by a 3rd party. Any recommendations that...

    Hey, if that ends up being the case, awesome. You scored BIG TIME on this. Please update us on how it all goes.

    Yellow edge screen

    I've always thought class actions I got wrapped up in were frivolous, but I'll be the first to lead the way on this if their solution is to decrease the visible scree size. Talk about a crappy hack that takes away from the appearance and functionality of the car.

    Walked in for a new shirt at the mall and left with this...

    Add up everything on the sheet (and note that there is no price for ludicrous because it's built into the base cost of the car). = 149,000 Now add doc and destination (1,200) = 150,200 Now subtract the discounts (rims, fsd, ludi = 38,700) = 111,500 Your cost isn't 111,500 - 38,700 (which would...

    Walked in for a new shirt at the mall and left with this...

    Having just done something similar, I hate to tell you this, but your math is wrong. You subtracted the $38,700 twice. That $111,500 total includes the discount.

    Refresh door handles...

    I needed to test drive my car for service while the rear handle replacement was in-progess. Nothing about what they were doing was a simple swap of anything. The whole rear door was disassembled, there were nuts, washers, and cut zip ties all over, and a huge mechanical module resting on the...

    Refresh door handles...

    My S that went back had front passenger die completely, and rear passenger with the "delay". The delay is actually that the point from where it's pulled starts to become very specific. In my case if I opened the door holding the handle as close to the front of the car as possible is had no...

    To S (or Tesla) or not to S (or Tesla)…

    Well, maybe I'll be lucky and the check will take another two weeks to show up. They gave me a loaner until it does, then I need to make my decision. If they did announce something new, I'd likely go for that. I'm not an old technology kinda person. This process has just taken so damn long that...

    To S (or Tesla) or not to S (or Tesla)…

    As some of you have seen in other threads, I ended up with a mess of an S that had such bad service experience in the last 2 years that Tesla bought it back from me. The paperwork finally wrapped up today. I'm just waiting for the check at this point. In the months leading up to this Tesla's...

    My head is going to explode. [random rant]

    Thought anyone following this would like to know that this process still isn't over. The person that was handling my case left Tesla a few weeks ago and it appears they've started it all over from scratch (and aren't as communicative as she was). Meanwhile the car I ordered as a replacement...

    "Fourth version of Tesla technology" MI03 vs MI04?

    Anyone figured out what changed yet? I ask because Tesla just bought back my car and have one that was built two weeks ago sitting in Fremont that's the exact config I want, but is still a "100D" not "Extended Range" and is code MI03, not the newer MI04 people are now seeing. The Tesla site...

    My head is going to explode. [random rant]

    Buy back approved! :eek: I just assume I’ll get another S. There’s still nothing like it out there. The price changes last week make me even more inclined to get another, but I’ll be super-bummed if there’s a major refresh in the next few months, but I have zero reason to complain given this...

    PSA: YOU (or someone on your account) Must pick up your wheel awards

    I got bit by this. I gave the guy selling them 100% up-front and after being assured they'd let me do it at my SC, they ultimately said no. I suspect it's because the rims came in and they either lost them, didn't contact the owner, or something else, but the original seller refunded me in full...

    My head is going to explode. [random rant]

    Hey, saw some of your work when I was picking my car up from service this week. Very cool stuff! It was an X with a dark iridescent wrap and black rims. Looked incredible.

    My head is going to explode. [random rant]

    So they're initiating a buy-back. That's kinda great. Doing it by the book, which given how often it's been in for warranty work shouldn't be an issue. I love this car minus the non-stop troublesome bits, so I'm assuming I'll just order another one if this all goes through. I do wonder, though...

    I did, the first message in this thread was my message to them. I have a call with someone next week.

    My head is going to explode. [random rant]

    For whatever it's worth, until this last visit, I've been incredibly calm about all this with the folks at the service center. I figured this was all part of the Tesla experience, for better or worse. This time around, my patience is flat-out gone, the good folks I like there are all scattered...

    My head is going to explode. [random rant]

    I didn't even think what that waiver would mean in the big picture. I never frequented these forums prior to delivery, and my only interaction with Teslas was through friends that had them and loved them. I've owned more cars in my life than any fiscally responsible person should ever, and never...

    My head is going to explode. [random rant]

    This is basically a version of what I just sent to Tesla executive escalation. On top of this, a set of referral rims I bought off another member here were never delivered, and now the same service folks (in Palo Alto) say "can't do it" when at least two of them said they could several months...

    Heated seat control through app. AP2.5 only?

    Ah ha! Yes, that was it, I needed to turn on the climate control. Seems silly, but sure, I'll take it. On another thread, I was seeing folks say that their defrosters were showing up in the latest software and app update. That's what made me check again. Thanks for humoring this user in error...

    Heated seat control through app. AP2.5 only?

    Oh, maybe it's a winter package only thing. (For when that was an option.)

    Heated seat control through app. AP2.5 only?

    Model S is at: 2018.50.6 4ec03ed iOS App is at: 3.8.1 It's a combo that should work. I'm AP2.0, which is why I'm wondering if this is 2.5+. A lot of things are starting to be, which is a bummer for a relatively new car.
  32. arlorose

    Heated seat control through app. AP2.5 only?

    I keep seeing screenshots of being able to turn on the heated seats and the defrosters, but my climate section only has the interior temperature. Are the more fine-grained controls part of the 2.5 hardware, or should I complain to the service center that my app and car aren't communicating...

    Yellow edge screen

    FWIW, I took my car in today for other issues and this and was told: "Try and wait until the Summer." This would have been my fourth swap out for this issue. I'm really hoping there's a HW 3.0 freebie in that mix by then.

    "Captcha required to log in"? Slacker broken in 9.0.

    Slacker site is back up and I was able to log in with my car's account. Probably back up in-car too.

    iPhone Audio Interface Still Terrible on v9

    How on earth have they not done the most basic of Bluetooth support for playlists, time elapsed and time remaining?! I just assumed that in 9.0 they'd finally have added the ability to use your phone with media system and not have to actually use your phone to do everything… still. They also...

    "Captcha required to log in"? Slacker broken in 9.0.

    I have my login for my car, and it still doesn't work. I think either Slacker is down, or 9.0 broke it.

    Spotify

    Spotify isn't available, but a few of us have made web-pages that can control your Spotify account as if it was in car (playing audio through your mobile phone). Spotify exists in Europe, and maybe 9.0 will bring it to the US, but no one knows yet.

    Feedback on a US Spotify UI (that works!)

    I gave up on mine after only 2 people signed up, I got a couple of HomePods and gave up on Spotify. Glad to see someone has carried the torch! Herb, if you want any help or feedback, let me know.

    20" sport wheels powdercoated "Sonic Gray"

    That looks fantastic! I'm planning on powder coating some Arachnids Sonic Gray on my S. What paint code, or other info did you give your guy to make sure the color was accurate?

    Three Months Waiting - Still No Referral Reward E-mail

    Yeah, took mine about 6 weeks after all was said and done. But now it says the wall connector will be available in June. So who knows how long that takes to resolve.

    How long before we see a bigger battery on MS?

    Personally, I'd love it if they just increased the overall build quality. I know a lot of people say they have no issues, but I think it's just what your threshold is. I just got a loaner while mine's in for a few warranty repairs, it's so new it has the black (space gray) interior trim. Its...

    The yellow screen fringe, seems to be a bigger issue for them.

    They did in fact change it. It’s now just a screen swap.

    Another thing broken by the repair center

    Honestly, I don't say which SC because if the folks in the back ever see a complaint, I don't want them to do anything extra to my car to annoy me further over time. I will say this though. The folks in the front of the house kick major ass and are as nice as can be. I just wish the back of...

    The yellow screen fringe, seems to be a bigger issue for them.

    When mine was replaced the first time it was the full MCU. I know this because the replacement MCU itself had issues that took them a few tries to narrow down. (An encryption key and software update issue).

    Another thing broken by the repair center

    I had a 5 trip comedy of them breaking something every time I brought it, causing me to bring it back, and come back with something else broken. Things like a smashed bummer, wiring harness not fully connected, scratches and dents all over the dash wood, grease stains on the door and center...

    The yellow screen fringe, seems to be a bigger issue for them.

    Figured I'd post this here just to let folks know. My early '17 S developed a yellow inset fringe around the screen after about 8 months of owning it. It was replaced earlier this year. Now, about 8 months later the replacement screen has the same issue. I had a P100D loaner that was a Jan...

    Three Months Waiting - Still No Referral Reward E-mail

    Does anyone have a contact email? I’m in the same boat. Delivery was a month and a half ago and I still get the error in the app. At a minimum fix the app so there isn’t an error!

    Rattle noise coming from front Air Suspension (2017-18)

    Meanwhile, for an unrelated service visit they gave me a freshly-built P100D whose AC was silent, and didn't have the rattle. When I pointed this out to the SA, they said "Well, it's a different model year, so they're probably made improvements." This is a 110k car, these are problems that...

    Rattle noise coming from front Air Suspension (2017-18)

    Mine is so bad I took it in again recently, and they still say nothing is possible for a fix, and that the issue is a noise tolerance that's different in EVs than what the part is made for. I call BS on that. My wife and I bought her a new BMW last night and it's solid, and silent. Between...
