I agree root cause is the 12V battery. How old is it? If it is lithium, contact the manufacturer. DI_u014_notOkToStartDrive The Drive Inverter has detected that the 12V battery is not being adequately supported by the vehicle, which means the vehicle might lose 12V power while being driven...

I don't think you have the seat calibration in the "service" menu on your year, but this is the first step I would take. Also, there is a seat controller that can be replaced. You probably will need Tesla to configure the replaced controller. We should be able to trust Tesla to diagnose the...

In the manual: Adjusting Liftgate Opening Height If Model S is equipped with a powered liftgate, you can adjust its opening height to make it easier to reach or to avoid low-hanging ceilings or objects (for example, a garage door or light): 1. Open the liftgate, then manually lower or raise it...

CHG_f022_hw12VUV This alert indicates that the charging hardware has detected that the 12V battery voltage is too low. Check your 12V battery.

2019 max charge is 48A, 11.5kw at 240v in US

First "update" probably to fix corruption on the SD card. This is likely the real update to 2024 maps. Once it starts, you can see the file being downloaded.

For some reason, Tesla code needs to settle in after changes. Things that load improperly suddenly work. Who knows why? :)

It is my understanding that the seller, if this is the current owner, can transfer the car in the app immediately to your account. Go to the 3 bars on upper right side of screen, My Products, Select the Tesla, and then Transfer Ownership. Then the buyer would go to Add Products on his app to...

Yes, for some reason 12.3 FSD hugs the right side of the road, sometimes crossing it to the rumble strip. Very dangerous. I can't understand why it is doing this.

On the Software screen, it shows the progress of any current downloads.

When it starts downloading, there will be a down arrow icon on the upper status line, right side, of the command screen. Also you can Software-> to see it's current status. After the download, you should get a Tesla App phone alert that you can install it.

It is a big file. If you are connected to WiFi, it should begin download within the next 24 hours. Tesla is in the midst of updating everyone's NAV and Map Data to a 2024 version. Give it a chance. If it doesn't download or install correctly, that makes it more likely it is a SD card failure.

If you want the SD card, you can give them this info to order it: 5 MICRO SD CARD 16GB- MAPS PRELOADED 2 PTN - NORTH AMERICA 1014633-S0-C

I don't know if USS is used by the driving computers, but it does display on the FSD screen as you approach objects, or shows yellow or red in the corners when USS detects something. I can't image converting and displaying this information if it is not used.

I replaced my interior air filter which requires removing the Glove Box and trim on the right side dash. I could see the SD card slot high on the right side of the MCU. I have seen YouTube videos where it can sometimes be delicate, as you must push the SD card inward for it to eject, and the...

Unless it was upgraded, the cell card in the car is likely now obsolete 3G service capable. The cell card in the car needs to be upgraded to do 4G cell service, or 5G if Tesla has that available for older cars now. You must have cell service for authentication, so the internet will not work...

It will eventually download on its own. There are some other threads on this board on how to ready the SD card for a fresh update. I also believe you can buy a ready SD card from Tesla (for a price).

All the Navigation Maps are stored on a regular SD memory card. Obviously, the older cars SD cards will fail, as they didn't have high endurance SD cards that are designed for auto interior environments. I bet if you replace the SD card that is inserted in the right side of the MCU, your issue...

I believe early 2021 did not have Hardware 4, or at least some of it. For sure no upgraded cameras.

Always a guess as to your car's model year. If you go into the Service menu, there is a Seat Calibration (2018+) that you can try. Second, these seat settings are stored in your User Profile. Try creating a fresh User Profile and see if you can change and save the settings with this new profile.

My June, 2020 Long Range+ keeps near 250Kw when under 50% state of charge. I was charging at over 1000 miles added per hour.

June, 2020.

Starting in June, 2020 the Long Range Plus (402 miles) supported the current fastest charging rates. https://insideevs.com/news/433707/thicker-wires-model-sx-charging-250-kw/

To most quickly get through the camera recalibration it is best to drive on roads with excellent lane markings, including a right side line. It should be done within 50 miles or so, usually within 25. It doesn't really work on country roads.

The THC errors are generally the front shutters for allowing air for cooling are not working or not providing feedback. You can look up the remainder. https://tesla-alerts-dictionary.corehacked.com/

From Fix My Tesla:

If you have sentry on or do not let the car sleep, the computers inside are on, and this will make that change in temperature. It is not a problem, and you don't need to keep the cabin any cooler in any weather. The battery will protect itself and cool or heat itself if it is needed.

Try setting up a new WiFI connection in the car, and see what networks it can see. Your car will not connect to the "new" 5Ghz WiFi networks that are common now. The car should connect to a WiFI network it can see with the correct password. Don't use an existing network connection in the car...

Use your phone or a computer to access your account if the car has no access.

I don't believe you can charge a car not on your account. You definitely will not be able to charge without a payment method on file. You can try to create a separate account with a payment method on file like any non-Tesla owner that wants to charge, and it should bill that account. I do not...

Joe Mode usually silences almost all chimes.

Mobile App has issues sometimes. Make sure the charging settings in the car are the same as in the App, as was mentioned above.

The Tesla Parts, Body & Paint Repair Limited Warranty begins on the purchase date of the part(s), and coverage extends for a period of 12 months or 12,500 miles, which ever comes first. Specific categories of parts have unique warranty coverage periods: Sheet metal: Limited lifetime Drive...

And, if you pay for it out of warranty, it has a 4yr 50K mile warranty.

Check the Tesla Parts Catalog Parts Catalog I have had the upper steering column replaced which turns the wheel on self drive, telescopes, tilts, etc., about $1700. Note you may need the part for cars built before August 21, 2017, if you really want the lower steering column, a different...

Year of car?

You didn't state the obvious potential power draws: Cabin Overheat Protection, Accessories and USB devices plugged in, Sentry Mode On, other accessories you attached, Keep Climate On, Third party apps that prevent your car from sleeping. Here is a good, more comprehensive list of thigs to...

You, for sure, should do the two scroll wheel reboot. Sometimes the initial load from an upgrade does not load in proper sequence. Give it a day or two. Try turning off expanded display and back on, etc.

I joined right after my 2020 purchase. It was peak Covid time. This board has many really informed people about the Tesla S. 4 years later, and I am still learning every day. I was going to buy a Cybertruck, but am not happy with the final specs. Getting an extended warranty and going to...

Try creating a new profile, set the seat positions and save. Then exit and reenter. If this works, the profile you are using is corrupt. Delete it and use the new profile. Same with easy entry. Erase and delete, and then recreate.

In the APP go to Service, Vehicle Range, and do a detailed report. It will indicate any unusual degradation of Range and generally tell you ways to improve.

Generally, the S will have about ~5% battery degradation in the first year. The years after the first are normally much less.

Even without the screens and during a reboot while driving, the turn signals work -- you just can't confirm that with the indicators or clicking sound. The car itself should be OK to drive, and I think the APP functions should allow charging changes, and perhaps climate setting changes, but...

Front half shafts have been a recurring problem for years. I had mine replaced under warranty a couple of months ago (2020 S LR+). I feel certain Tesla has been trying to fix this issue, and that mine and new cars have redesigned half shafts because this has been costing Tesla money to fix...

It is the same charging port light decode.

Amber means something else. See below: Color of charge port light What it means What to do WHITE - SOLID (normal behavior) Model S is ready to charge and the connector is not inserted, or the charge port latch is unlocked and the connector is ready to be removed. Insert the charge...

June, 2020 was the time Tesla enabled full 250kw charging rates by putting in new wiring to enable this rate. My car built in that month can achieve that rate. I am not sure about any further modifications since then, except the Cybertruck.

If you are camping in the car, and the fan is set to max, you have manually turned off A/C, and you are in manual mode. The car will heat up from the computers and people inside. Also, is Recirc on preventing fresh air from coming in from the cooler outside?

They never had a warning for this issue before, and it is a safety issue. The feds would really be upset if a known safety issue was not proactively corrected, of course, at your expense. They are now making sure the older cars are as safe as possible. At least I hope that is the primary reason.

In 2012, they didn't have a self powered pyro fuse. They all had a battery. If that was replaced at some point, it likely would have the newer versions, which are self powered. If it is some other fuse, it is unusual for it to go bad, but your car is 12 years old. Good luck to you for a less...
