    About that "yoke" steering wheel

    The yoke is to stop your wife to drive the car. That simple :)

    Late 2016 / Early 2017 S Owners: How Are Your Daytime Running Lights Holding Up?

    I also changed 4 till the new F. These are holding. I've had them for 8 months. Crossing fingers.

    You are not breaking anything. Just pull it.

    75D July 2018 build. What rate of charging at a Supercharger?

    What battery size? What year car and mileage?

    75D July 2018 build. What rate of charging at a Supercharger?

    Mine is an S but I guess it does not matter. I can't hit 85 i think anymore, no matter the state of the battery but I will try it again when is very low.

    75D July 2018 build. What rate of charging at a Supercharger?

    I tried all scenarios. If it is too low it goes slow before ramping to higher but for some reasons it does not go high anymore. I sat it at 140kw when the car had 20k miles. Now I don't see 80... Even if the battery is 20% and warm.

    75D July 2018 build. What rate of charging at a Supercharger?

    I have a 2018 75D, barely supercharge and now it is weird. I get about 70KW but in less than a minute is drops at 60KW on a 120KW supercharger. I told Tesla service, waiting for their "investigation". They claim it is not normal to see this hard limitation. When I was charging last weekend...

    Conti Purecontact LS

    They are pretty good at 20k now... The weather in Seattle changes. I'll see how they still handle rain but no complaints so far. Really happy with them.

    Terrible Bluetooth Call Quality

    No... I have done this a long time ago. It is a 2 min work. Pull the cover down few inches, nothing to disconnect. The sponge is about the size of that cover...3x3 inches... I got it from an Amazon package. Just lay it on top. Po it back in.

    Terrible Bluetooth Call Quality

    For everyone that has patties with noise heard by the B party at speed and not when car is stationary. I pulled to cover above the mirror where the microphones are and I put on top of it a half inch thick sponge layer. Put it back in. Best BT I ever head on any car by far. Too much noise coming...

    Conti Purecontact LS

    I have been using these in the Seattle area for over a year and over 15k miles. Very happy! Will see how long they last. So far much better than the Goodyear which were "good" for a year but horrible on rain. These are day and night better.

    Air Conditioning Stopped Working

    I also believe it is a new sw glitch. It started happening in my 75D in the past 1-2 weeks. It happens sometimes when I drive then I deselect the Auto, reselect it, lower the temp and it comes back. Happened 4 times already. Usually when starting the car and it is already hot inside. It feels...

    Tesla offers no guarantees or assurances on battery for Model S or X

    I think upfront expectations is what we all want so we make a buy decision having a good understanding of the car lifecycle. Surprises like this down the road .... just not good for anyone including Tesla.

    Tesla offers no guarantees or assurances on battery for Model S or X

    2018S 33k miles, 2 years old, barely supercharged. Now it drops to under 70kwh charge in less than 3min no matter battery status or load at supercharging station. So you will see s75 owners complaining a lot too from now on. Only option - 2 year lease...let Tesla eat their own..you know what.

    2020 Model S Long Range Plus

    Up top above the mirror. Just pull with bear hands. I pulled it to get a line for a radar detector and I realized how stupid it is not to have insulation and also how by is good at low speeds with no rain.

    2020 Model S Long Range Plus

    A quick fix for Bluetooth. I pulled the grill that hold the microphones and shoved a 5x5 inch sponge, half an inch thick between that and the roof. The bluetooth since, best I ever had. It is just noise, it is too close to the roof.

    Late 2016 / Early 2017 S Owners: How Are Your Daytime Running Lights Holding Up?

    They told me these are new revisions. Mine got changed in January and May, produced in Mexico in Jan and March, same part but for sure new revision.

    Turn Signal Fault

    So my fault is back. I had mobile service replace my left headlamp. He told me these are new posts and I checked my right side is the same, built after Jan 2020. I told him I had this weird encounter but never happened before. He did all the checks. So after this replacement I got the left turn...

    High maintenance car ever I owned

    :) Right, just trade in and lose 40k with that. The windshield has ghosting. If you look at lights at night, stop lights of other cars in particular, you see them double. Windshield is not uniform either. They changed e first one then got a much better one but it was not installed well. They had...

    High maintenance car ever I owned

    Just a chime in... On a 2018 s75D in less than 2 years I got 5 headlamps, 4 struts, yellow screens(both fixed), one door handle fixed twice and 3 ghosting windshields. And I still have front rattle...most likely struts. All these are bad parts, bad design by 3rd party or Tesla. I am amazed that...

    Turn Signal Fault

    I am on 20.16.2.1. and trying to recall I think it was on this over. I don't remember a sw update and it is weird cause that problem just vanished.

    Turn Signal Fault

    I had same issue recently. Maybe before last update...2 weeks ago. Came in notifying me on 3 trips about 2 times each the vanished. Nothing since.

    Supercharging throttling?

    I thought the same way. I had the same experience. Moreover I supercharged ver, very little. This year 5 times. Of course I read the forums but I thought this would apply to older batteries, excessive supercharging, much higher mileage and car age...but no. While I get the main reasons here is...

    Supercharging throttling?

    Wow... I have no problem paying. Time is more expensive. Wait, was it an option to pay instead of waiting and I did not see it? Maybe we should ask for this "feature"...

    Supercharging throttling?

    ??? Did you have something to contribute? This is something thatd not surface in any manual when buying a Tesla. Very well kept secret. We only hear the knees about 150kW chargers and more and how fast your Tesla charges. Nobody says only when new. Did they tell you when you put your order?

    Late 2016 / Early 2017 S Owners: How Are Your Daytime Running Lights Holding Up?

    Correct they do not have the tool for it. But somehow they agreed to do it for me with the existing tool. They are saying they are working on a tool for the IC too.

    Supercharging throttling?

    Is it the same for paying Tesla's? If it is... this just becomes another learning about owning this generation of electric cars.

    Late 2016 / Early 2017 S Owners: How Are Your Daytime Running Lights Holding Up?

    Totally disagree. They are under warranty. The LCD is somehow different because they did come with a fix. They fixed for me both LCDs with the same tool.

    Supercharging throttling?

    I have a June 18 75D with about 33k miles on it. I went to a large 150kw supercharger in Wa state and with nobody else there, at 75 miles range left charging went briefly to about 105kw then within 2 min started dropping. In 5 min itwit at under 70. I read before about throttling on this forum...

    Late 2016 / Early 2017 S Owners: How Are Your Daytime Running Lights Holding Up?

    They may be losing serious money on these. June 2018 and they already replaced 5. One more incoming. Whoever makes them if not Tesla should be out of business by now.

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

    I had mine replaced twice and the left one 3 times. No luck... I can hear it clearly after e bump in the road essentially when compressed suspension in extending back down not going up. Sometimes I wonder if that is the case. Others found noise within the caliper for example. I have had loaners...

    Voice commands not working 40.50.7

    Hi, My voice commands stopped working after update. I see voice getting translated into text but then nothing happeneds. All commands. Sw resets does not solve it. Also I noticed sometimes LTE fails to connect. Any advice?

    Do you "just live with" the front windshield ghosting?

    They changed 3 for me. First, no questions asked. Second was much better but they installed bad. 3rd had ghosting and had to escalate to service manager. They have a tool to measure it but it is all bullshit. Still stunned by the quality of this windshield and that they can't get it right. I...

    Tires for Model S--Michellin MXM4 vs Continental Purecontact?

    I also have the Conți PureContact LS. VEry happy with them. Miles ahead of Goodyear's which could not handle rain brand new. Much better handling and not as hard which is better for this stuff suspension. Totally recommend. Also better price and 700AA rated...will see. Goodyears lasted 24k for me.

    Yellow screen? Force Tesla to Replace it!

    For folks in the Seattle area...I had an appointment to do the UV fix but the tool at the Bellevue service is now broken. Of course no ETA. I reported the yellowing on the ICU display too. It appears I am the first one! Checking into it they know message to all that a tool to fix the ICU is also...

    No Spotify, Karaoke and no Theater apps after V10 update in 2018 March MC2 Model S

    Really? You did not just reset it by holding the 2 wheels, right? In the service mini, power off. I read that article before the update came. I realized I did not have all the features and about a day later or so I just did this and I got all the features. I have a June 18 75D... Not far from...

    No Spotify, Karaoke and no Theater apps after V10 update in 2018 March MC2 Model S

    Turn off the car from the menu. Then turn it back on. It will solve your problem. Had the same issue and in fact I read an article stating that in some cases after the se update you would need to do that.
  44. buzescu

    Got V10!!! but no Theater Mode :-(

    Not sure it helps... I have MCU2 but I have not seen Entertainment before I shut the car down. I remember reading somewhere that you may have to do an actual shut down. All in after that.

    Car wash for S

    I would recommend looking at Griot's Garage products. I bought a foam gun from Amazon because theirs is too expensive but I use their products. They have videos, reviews etc. Take a look. I do not use the no-water wash but they have couple of products to spray and wipe, very good.

    It looks like they corrected the note. Are you 100% sure they did not replace your IC?

    Yellow screen? Force Tesla to Replace it!

    This would be great. We still wonder how wide this issue is. I reported the IC as well but before lots of us do the same nothing will happen. More, they will say that they do not have repeta with the issue.
