    Is there any update or way to have phone as key card in 2018 S?

    Without having to open the app and select start? Similar to newer model Teslas where you just approach the car with your phone in your pocket, get in and drive.

    Talk me off the ledge...

    I have an 2018 100 D with little to no issues. I do really like having that sunroof, why I bought a leftoever 2018 in 2019 since was no longer available. Get whichever you like and step down from the ledge.

    Complete Tesla newb. Looking for info between 2018 MS vs 2019

    2018 saw the last of the sunroof (an awesome feature to have) and possibly the last of enhanced autopilot which is also a great feature (basically all FSD features for highway driving)

    The dreaded "BMS_s172 Vehicle may not start alert" and a positive service experience (Raleigh NC)

    I read so many negative service experience posts that I thought I would infuse a little positivity. Seems this error message (while obviously very alarming) most of the time relates to an issue with the 12v battery or the coolant heater. My car ended up needing the latter replaced under...

    When do I really have to bring in my MS for routine mainenance?

    2018 MS 100D, 15k miles over 2 years of ownership, no issues. I was thinking of going 3 years before getting first ever routine maintenance. What do I really need other than checking brake fluid and cabin filters? Do I really need an A/C recharge if A/C working fine? I don't need dealer to...

    my S is a different car in winter vs. summer

    shoulda, woulda, coulda, easy for you to say now... I stopped at a SC 15 min into the trip and topped off to around 250 mile range, my car just burned up the juice

    my S is a different car in winter vs. summer

    I have in the past taken up to 260 mile nonstop trips without hesitation or incident (2018 MS, 335 mi published range, charges to 332). I have never before faced severe range anxiety until yesterday. I knew the car was less efficient in cold weather, but I took a 145 mile trip in the freezing...

    why has my dash display changed without a recent software update???

    yeah, reboot may have worked (haven't driven yet) but which is a better reboot: powering down via scroll wheels or "power off" via center touchscreen?

    why has my dash display changed without a recent software update???

    This morning I am now for the first time seeing a new dash display with the driver visualization box much bigger (see pic), I have not had a software update in a couple of weeks (see version pasted below). Why does my software version say "bad" at the end? What is going on?

    Has anyone else lost news stations on TuneIn?

    I think I discovered the problem and the solution. I suspect they changed their station URLs, so your existing icons for the stations (whether in your favorites or not) no longer work. BUT, if you just go back on the bottom menu to streaming and search TuneIn for the stations, the new icons...

    Upgrading from 19inch to 21inch in Arachnids - do I need a calibration ?

    not an issue, dealers (all dealers) ALWAYS want to sell you an alignment (easy $) if the car tracks straight and no abnormal tire wear then fine I did same swap from 19 to 21, no problem 21s probably bad if you live in a city with potholes, but drive fine in the burbs

    Mildew/Mold stain on tan interior! Help!

    Having just cleaned the scum ring on my pool vinyl liner with a dedicated alkali based vinyl cleaner, it worked pretty well and might be worth a shot, obviously try a small hidden area first, $20 on Amazon

    Higher than normal battery drain with 2020.24.6.4 while parked?

    I am having same (new) problem on 2020.24.639. fairly dramatic (7 mile range loss just overnight with Summon and Sentry off, no pump noise). 2018 100D. I also think all of a sudden higher overall energy consumption when driving (>300 kw/h around town, has always been <300). Will try reboot...

    CNBC loading error on Tune-In

    same here for CNN, MSNBC, etc. I communicated with TuneIn tech support via email, they said they are aware and working on it this morning, my usual "favorites" bookmark icon for CNN didn't work, but then I selected the TuneIn option from the bottom toolbar, then where it listed "popular stations...

    Has anyone else lost news stations on TuneIn?

    So I decided to email TuneIn customer support, since I figured Tesla is a big contract for them and they want to keep Tesla subscribers happy. I got a prompt response requesting additional details, noting that they are aware of the issue and are "on it." Hopefully they can fix on their end.

    Has anyone else lost news stations on TuneIn?

    Yes, CNN volume (when it used to work) was always low, a jolt when you switch to a music station.

    Has anyone else lost news stations on TuneIn?

    Nope. I have regular connectivity through Tesla, have not paid extra from Premium Tune-In, but have always had CNN and other news stations until this week.

    Has anyone else lost news stations on TuneIn?

    Just this week I can no longer load news stations (CNN, MSNBC, etc.). I have a paid connectivity subscription and can play music and other media on TuneIn but get a loading error with all news stations except ABC. Anyone else experiencing or know how to fix?

    Going to purchase "new" 100D 2018 non-raven. Is this a mistake?

    you made the right decision, similar to mine when I bought a loaner 2018 in 2019, wanted the sunroof and EAP both of which are no longer available, I did not get the FSCFL at that time so you did well, use it, depreciate it, who cares

    iPhone maintains connectivity but keeps losing text message synch

    My iPhone always links to my 2018 MS, so not a bluetooth issue. However, almost every time I get in the car and check its status, I have to manually resynch the text messaging and "chime" functions. This has persisted with multiple software upgrades (currently 2020.24.6.1). Is this a known...

    Going to purchase "new" 100D 2018 non-raven. Is this a mistake?

    That is a good deal, EAP, sunroof and free SC are all legacy products that you can no longer get. EAP is essentially FSD for highways.

    How do you decide? Regrets?

    No right time to buy a Tesla as constantly evolving and will be different 6-12 months down the road. I bought a demo pre-Raven 2018 100D in 2019 with 335 mile range. What sold me was the discount (on the demo), one of the last cars with a sunroof and EAP (essentially FSD for highway only...

    Cold weather passenger side rattling!

    This may sound too simplistic, but have you checked to be sure it is not just the plastic portions of the seatbelt mechanism down by the floor next to the drivers seat bottom rattling against each other? I and others have experienced this loud rattle which is easily fixed with a small piece of...

    Blind Spot Collision Warning Chime on - NO CHIME EVER

    My app still has my car status as "ready for pickup" even though service completed a week ago

    My app still has my car status as "ready for pickup" even though service completed a week ago

    On the home screen of my app, under the name and picture of my car at the top of the page, it still lists my vehicle status as "ready for pickup" instead of what it should read "charging, 10 hours remaining" or "parked." I had completed my service appointment almost a week ago. Can I fix this...
