Sorry, don't really know how to redact an invoice, but here is a link to an earlier post where the poster attached some really good information including the shop time for fixing this issue...

I had the exact same issue, plus I also had a small 1/4” play when turning the steering wheel back and forth. My Universal Joint was seized up and since I have the dual motors, I opted to check with Tesla to see how much they would charge. To my surprise they only charge for a little more than...

Does the hum occur at all levels of SOC?

Sorry. Unfortunately I never had the chance to feel if it was moving. They checked multiple things before one of the techs decided to try and torque the bolts down to spec.

I have seen a few posts regarding rattles/squeaks behind the dashboard, but they have mostly been on newer cars. My issue was resolved a few days ago so I figure I post it here in case someone else is experiencing a similar problem. In my case with the 2015 P85D the noise was coming from the...

I have had good experience with Rock Auto including returning a part that broke down within the warranty period.

Crew working on the big green box and the large white ones today. The guys think they’re about 2-3 weeks away from turning them on.

Sorry, if this has been covered. If the replacement battery fails within the coverage period, will the service plan cover a second battery, or do we have to sign up for a new service agreement after the first replacement?

I looked in the Owners Manual and it doesn't look like the Plaid has an Emergency Brake like our older cars where you press the park button on the shifter stalk and hold it in for as long as you wish the emergency brakes to be applied to the rotors. I thought this was mandatory, but maybe...

What year and model is your car?

Thanks for the reply! I had changed the setting to reflect my earlier firmware so that was not the problem. I just went downstairs and hooked up the Android and it showed the correct numbers. Then I hooked up the iPhone and the numbers now seem to be fine. I will continue to watch and if it...

Hi amund7, I just purchased the app for iOS and while I think most numbers are correct, it seems like the Nominal Full Pack, Nominal Remaining, and Expected Remaining numbers are a "touch" high. Please see screen shot. Any thoughts?

I haven’t noticed the pumps running and I’m on an older version as well. Would be interesting to see how many are experiencing the above 78-80% syndrome.

I'm with Rogers and I get charged 40-50 cents per text when texting to the US.

Hi IngTH, I have been postponing the installation of a pending software since middle of last year, and would like to hear your opinion on if I should install it and take whatever comes with the upgrade such as batterygate and chargegate? I’m guessing the inconvenience of being capped, etc. is...

Just over 50k miles. So far I have had about $3,000 worth of extended warranty repairs. The compressor and a valve for the air suspension, and the fan for the interior hvac.

2019.16.1.1

When I hit the brakes to turn the car back on, the headlights (and the brake lights for a brief moment) turn on and I have to manually turn them off again. A little annoying if this has to be done every 15 min. I think Camping mode would be the best, but I don’t have that feature yet (older fw).

I'm also interested to find out how to make the car "behave" for a couple of hours while sitting inside. Usually when I sit in the car for an extended period of time, the car turns itself off (music stops playing) after 15 minutes and to wake it up I have to press the brake pedal which...

Happy to say that this morning everything was up and running like normal. Maybe Tesla felt sorry for me and turned it on again :) I did try the reboot yesterday to no avail so maybe I should always give problems a day or so to resolve themselves before I freak out and take up bandwidth on this...

I will probably break down and install a newer firmware in the next few days, but was hoping to ride the faster supercharging pony a little longer. I’m also a little worried that the voltage capping might have started with the firmware immediately following mine.

I hope there is a temporary glitch in the local cellular system but I’m wondering if Tesla has finally cut the cord on cars that have not been upgraded to a more recent firmware. I’m still on 2019.16.1.1 and have been asked daily via a screen pop-up to update “or else....”. The car has not been...

Could it be they forgot to remove the screen protection film like some other people have reported?

2015 P85D 55k miles 245 rated miles Usable full pack 71.7kWh I’m still on 2019.16.1.1 and I have been reluctant to upgrade just in case it was 2019.16.2 that reduced the capacity in some packs. The second reason for not upgrading is the increase in charging time at the super chargers.

Our friends have both models and they think the 3’s audio is much better. The S has the premium system.

I remember seeing somewhere there is a 4 year warranty on the MCU if paid for out of warranty. Does that warranty follow the car or just the owner who paid for it? Maybe worth checking with Tesla.

Just received a text message from my SC letting me know that a "A mandatory update is required in order to maintain your vehicles compatibility with the Tesla connectivity network. As a goodwill gesture, we will be sending the firmware update to you over LTE...." I'm still on 2019.16.1.1, not...

MP3Mike is correct. Here in Canada they started out supplying the 40A (NEMA 14-50) adapter with new cars, but later changed them to adapters that maxed out at 32A. I heard rumors the service centers were exchanging the adapters that were in the trunk without asking the customers so I removed...

If it's a November 2016 delivery, doesn't that mean your warranty is valid until November 2020? Edit. Sorry, I forgot about the Mileage Warranty

I just received the email regarding the need to “upgrade or else” as well just like Sorka. I’m on 2019.16.1.1 and get 4.175v(avg) and 4.180v(max) at 99.3% soc when the car stops charging. No individual cell reached 4.2v as far as I can see. I believe this means I’m not currently capped unless...

Almost every time I drive out of our underground parking it takes around 3-5 minutes before the car finds a cell signal and that's when FM/AM comes in handy. With the upgrade, the start of each drive away from home will be a little quiet. Might have to invest a little time and effort and make...

Hopefully this is it. Would they have removed the liner to do the work they did?

I wonder what will happen to our old cars in 5-10-15 years? There must be a point in time when the old MCU can no longer run the "latest and greatest" software from the mothership. Will streaming, access to Mobile App, voice commands, etc all stop?

I’m on 2019.16.1 and I got the same message.

Glad it all worked out at the end. This is why this forum is so good.

Is there a chance he has an earlier mobile charger? I’m not an electrician, but wouldn’t the car then pull 40A to the car so he needs a 50A breaker and at least a #6 wire?

Thanks. I must have checked the Gen 2 manual.

I just had a look in the installation manual for what I believe to be Gen 1, and it looks like the dip switch settings for the 50A and 90A settings look pretty similar. I’m hoping that when you open up the wall charger you’ll find that it was set to 90A which will give you 72A to the car (80%)...

What number is your rotary dial in the WC set to?

Extended warranty is of course a gamble. I paid for a 4 year agreement in May of 2019 when my original warranty was up and within a few months I had already had repairs for about $3,000. My Air suspension pump died while on a trip to Kelowna and the interior HVAC fan was chirping. For me the...

I might be wrong, but I don't think free supercharging will be cancelled if you go through a car dealer other than Tesla.

Could it be that maybe the numerical reading shows it in mph instead of km/h? 40 x 1.6 = 64

Follow up. 7 of 8 stalls are working today.

I would also like an update on this as my wife and will be traveling from BC to Rockaway Beach on the 2nd and I don’t think we can make it back if Seaside is not operational.

Thank you! From that I deduce that two of the stalls are still down, but the rest are working.

I will be heading down to the Oregon Coast next week and yesterday when I entered the address in the car it stated that the Seaside SC had “reduced service”. Does anyone know what this means? No charging available? A few stalls down?

Hi Tony, I you change the chip in my car, will I have to update the car to a newer software version or can I still be on my current version?

I would wait until you are at a lower state of charge and then try again. At 70% I don’t know if I get any higher rate than what you are getting. Maybe try at 20% and see what the charge rate is.
