Are you saying it won't work on a 2018 car? What is the option I have above then? ***EDIT*** Don't worry, I've found out what it is - a security update to existing key fobs :(

Ah, ok, it's not too expensive then. I seem to remember £300 for the key and then reprogramming on top of that. I have this option so I thought it might work.

I lost one of the key fobs for my 2018 model s and am about to trade the car in for a Y. Does anyone know if I can programme a 2014 model s key to be recognised? I know the US fobs work on a different frequency so won't work, but am hoping I'll be able to use the 'Add a key fob' instruction from...

If the leaked pictures were in fact from Tesla, I think they probably have revised the designs as there was a significant backlash against the look generally and the horizontal screen in particular. I don't personally think they will try to consolidate all the UIs into a horizontal form factor...

Doh. Thanks for your input anyway!

I love that idea, but after a hard day's graft on the building site, when you're sweaty and covered in cement dust, do you really want to get into your nice pristine car? Not forgetting the guys/gals who have been working with you all day who also might want a lift. It's going to be a rugged...

Wow, that is an incredible amount of work. And very thorough – good job :cool:

Yeah, I had a root around and thought that might be the one. Not my cup of tea, personally. They've tried too hard.

What pics?

OK, is it the front or the back?

OK, this is what I'm thinking we're looking at, the rear of the truck with a (hydraulic) cover over the bed, in its lowered state, and thanks to @jdevo2004 for making me realise it with the images he posted. One thing that bothered me about the image Elon released, especially when it's...

Er, that link takes you to the one more thing that everyone missed.

Haha, no problem, I did it to see if I could make sense of what looks like a massive slab. I'm working on a revised version at the moment – I'm pretty sure Franz isn't losing much sleep though. :)

This one. ;)

I agree. Here it is with the wheels and tyres from the Tesla Semi. I tried MX wheels and other pickup wheels but everything else looked wrong. The semi wheels kind of work with the industrial look.

Using the image they released and distorting it into a vague pickup shape creates something like this... Very quick psd job with no thought to two rows of seats etc...

Ahem, BMWs.

I thought I read somewhere that it has a longer wheelbase than the 3.

Your last, frantic thought will be, 'Why did I let him know my intentions?' as you look down in confusion at your body being de-rezzed line by line, pixel by pixel and follow the glinting light from the laser beams up to the balcony where Elon is standing, smiling almost imperceptibly, before he...

I specified an angled socket to minimise the drag from the weight of the cable, also I think the electrician massively overspecced the screws he used (#12, 2" or similar) as it is absolutely rock solid on the wall. And I didn't view this as a budget solution, I'm just extremely tight :). My...

Just as an FYI, I have mitigated wear and tear on the charger by supporting it with a guitar hanger hook. It supports the weight of the charger and holds it steady on the wall. The plug end I hang over a hose hanger which stops it scratching on the wall. There is literally no wear and tear other...

Anyone that can design something as beautiful as the 2020 roadster is pretty good in my book. Being a designer of sorts myself, I am better placed to comment on how many jobs end up being client designed or designed by committee. The X probably started out as a Franz horse and ended up being...

The reality is that it never gets that low, so I very rarely charge from empty. I got the commando solution installed with a blue 32a socket in case I ever needed to upgrade the wiring but 1 year on and I haven't found the need. Also, I only ever charge on economy 7 nighttime rates. I set the...

Firstly congratulations, you won't regret it. Android doesn't make any real difference. For the other stuff, we'd need to know more info. What sort of mileage do you do, do you mind how much you spend on a charging solution? For example, I went the cheap route and got a commando socket...

I'm not suggesting they are going to move to 2170s, but surely it simplifies production to have all models using the same form factor battery, thereby reducing overall cost?

Yawn.

I am torn between these two options. I think the first is more sensible, however I can't help thinking that the price drop is a sweetener for those who buy a model S now, only to face a much improved model being sold at usual prices at a later date.

Hey, you got there first. I bow down to your superior prescience. :cool:

My thoughts exactly.

Well, I just posted something almost identical in the S thread so we must be right! I only found your post because I was checking I'd spelled Electrek correctly. Great minds thing alike. Or delusional, time will tell.

With the imminent reveal of the model Y on the 14th, this is an ideal opportunity to have a Model S, 3, X and Y on the stage at the same time. Hopefully it will be similar to the 2020 roadster event with a 'one more thing' section at the end, where refreshed, bigger battery, supercharger 3...

Perhaps it's different in the US but over here in Europe, some (especially those with misplaced brand loyalty) may consider a Jaguar ipace or an Audi e tron. I watched the fullycharged e tron episode recently and shuddered when he revealed all the different charging cables in the frunk. I was...

There's at least one reason I can think of that this thread is very long. PS. New struts fixed it for me. ;)

How dare you!

This is one of the drawbacks of autopilot. There has been a suggestion made that a gentle nudge either left or right should make the autopilot favour a lane side rather than sitting in the centre. I would certainly prefer this as it would be more accommodating for motorcyclists. It would also be...

I think they're probably going to have 2 apps visible at one time as per the shot of the browser window inset into the nav screen. Whether it is then possible to position this inset screen at the top we'll have to wait and see. Hopefully someone will leak a screenshot of the 'Display' tab...

Making it quite obvious that it’s a battery unlock...

You might.

I would say so. Just go easy on the outbound section of the trip. And on the HVAC. Worst that may happen is you have to slow down on the return journey.

I got the update on my Dec 2017 build about a week ago and nothing seems to have changed. In fact after installation, the screen that appears with the title "What's new in this update" was completely blank. :)

Because he wants a Tesla. And none of us can blame him for that. :)

I have done exactly the same as you. I summon out of my garage and I used to put my fob on the windscreen wiper (the car sometimes complained it wasn't close enough otherwise). Well, I did the same as you, only I didn't find my fob on the way home :(. Still haven't looked into getting a...

Don't listen to anyone kid. If you want it enough you can do it. I can't afford a Tesla either, but you know what, I bought one anyway and am somehow making it work (don't feel bad, I've been working for 25 years longer than you o_O). I would start by watching everything Rich Rebuilds has done...

Well, this is the thing, I have briefly considered going back to iOS but it seems rediculous just for one app. Anyway I've found a workaround now so am happy with that.

Unfortunately, that functionality hasn't been enabled where I am (in the UK).

Thanks for the help. I may get round to doing that if I face further problems but so far I have found an app that works every time, even thought the official app doesnt.

Thanks for this, I thought that signal strength to car/phone might be something to do with it. I am confused as to how I can improve my LTE though without spending money on more hardware. I am going to do more testing and report back. And by testing, I mean try random things until I can get...

I need to park in my garage to charge and it's very tight, so I have to summon my car in and out, sometimes every day. I've had a lot of problems with the Tesla app either refusing to connect to the car, connecting to the car but then summon not connecting with a 'Reconnect' button appearing...

Well, extremely happy to report that 'Dashboard for Tesla' successfully summons my car to and from the garage when the official Tesla app doesn't. With that and all the other functions (way more than the official app) it's well worth the price.

Wow, that 'Dashboard for Tesla' looks great. I've actually been looking for scheduled start and stop charging so that will do nicely. Thanks for the help.
