    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    I've been searching for an answer to this question and haven't found it so I'm going ask it here. We had free FSD for a month and it was given to us so we would now purchase it. If we do, that's great [and almost free] money for Tesla and great money for the stock. My question is: Are people...

    Model S - Front Plate Adhesive

    I'm responding to my own comment. Twice they had me set up to replace the bracket and twice they canceled at the last moment. The guy came by a few days ago and put a new bracket. No holes, just two-sided tape. He said that the front plates rarely fall off. I am not so sure. In California it is...

    Model S - Front Plate Adhesive

    So I had an appointment for Tesla service to replace the housing last week and they canceled about 30 minutes prior saying they did not have the part. I rescheduled for today, 12 noon to 4 PM. At 12:20 PM the driver called and said he did not have the part and will have to reschedule. I think...

    Model S - Front Plate Adhesive

    I have a 22MS without PPF and last week I noticed the license plate and front housing were gone. It was either stolen or fell off, I will never know. I went to the local Tesla service center and they said that sometimes the housing "just falls off" because they are held on by two-sided tape. And...

    preheat for supercharging without nav?

    I went to Tesla again today and talked to the service writer about preconditioning. I had hoped you could precondition the car for super charging at home without driving the car. That is not the case and you have to drive the car at least 30 minutes or more. Thank you to those that corrected my...

    preheat for supercharging without nav?

    I went to Tesla today and they answered my question. And there is more than one answer. But the easiest way is this: Let's say it's 1 o'clock and you're at home. Go to schedule and set precondition to 1:15 PM. You should be fully preconditioned by 145 or 2pm. In the future I will try this and...

    preheat for supercharging without nav?

    I have the same question. I do not have home charging for my 2022MS. I am one minute from an Electrify America station and 4 miles from a Tesla supercharger.

    Trunk Opens By Itself

    The app is always connected. I’m not sure how I make the app notify me if the trunk is somehow opened. And I usually turn off the car when I leave it and it automatically locks.

    Trunk Opens By Itself

    Good question for which I do not have a good answer. I have never heard an alert, but it's possible that I was not by my phone at that time. After I was advised today that the trunk was open I went down to check it and it was open. I checked my phone, and it showed the trunk to be open. I then...

    Trunk Opens By Itself

    I have a 22 MS that I park in a subterranean parking area. I use my phone or Tesla "credit card" to operate the vehicle. I have never used the key fob. About 5 time the last 5 months I am told my neighbors [and verified by me] that the trunk is open. In each case I have not been near the car or...

    You have been very fortunate. I'm in Southern California and the two EA stations I go to have been marginal at best.

    How to manually open the rear doors of a 22MS

    For some reason I glossed over your earlier post. Today I went to the service center and they showed me exactly what to do; which is exactly what you suggested earlier. Thanks.

    Update Observation

    Clicking the two buttons doesn't always work. For sometime now my software indicated it was current as of 18 August. And this after I turn off the car three times by using the two buttons. Any suggestions? Or does this warrant a visit to the service center?

    Watching Tubi or Peacock on an 22MS

    Thank you both. I have since learned that teslatheater.com is now abettertheater.com. I can now get Tubi and other streaming services. I had a little problem because I was getting sound from my FM radio and iPhone and very little volume from the streaming services. I now know that I need to...

    Watching Tubi or Peacock on an 22MS

    On my screen I see icons for Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, YouTube, Twitch and TikTok, but not Peacock, Tubi and others. Can those also be enabled without third party support? I have read about abettertheater.com and teslatheater.com. Are those recommended?

    Update Observation

    I appreciate this post. As of 9 August my software indicated it was current to 31 July. Today, 10 August, I clicked the two buttons on the steering wheel. Now it shows my software is complete as of this date. Thanks to all.

    Physical measurements of Variable Suspension show that you’re NOT getting the ride you call for.

    I have an almost identical car with the same date of manufacture and the same issue. There has been a lot of conversation about this problem, and it appears to affect only a small subset of owners. If Tesla ever comes up with a fix, I would be both shocked and overjoyed.

    How to manually open the rear doors of a 22MS

    So I just went to the backseat of my 22MS to check out the efficacy of opening the rear doors in the event of emergency. I first took out the two boxes that I keep on the floor in the back. I then took out the plastic floor mats that are over the carpet. I then raised the bottom carpet. The...

    How to manually open the rear doors of a 22MS

    The front doors on the 22MS have obvious manual releases but the rear doors do not appear to offer that option. Am I missing something? Is there a way to open up the rear doors manually? What does Tesla recommend, if anything?

    Does the 2022 MS have an interior temperature thermometer?

    I know there is one of the app. Is there a thermometer in the car that gives you the current accurate temperature?

    Costco Insurance Feedback (Geico Insurance is now over $200 a month, paid in full! absolutely ridiculous)

    This from Costco last month: "California members: The Costco Insurance Agency is currently not offering new auto or home insurance policies in CA." I have an 2M umbrella for my condo and Tesla. I will be grandfathered in. I am advised that Connect has filed for a 25% increase. Today I received...

    Can't play music via bluetooth

    This may or may not help. I used to get my iPhone to work by saying "media source Bluetooth". For some reason that no longer works. Now I say "Play phone" or "media source phone". That works for me.

    21 MSLR Refresh Passenger Footwell Light Really Dim

    I have a 22MS. The foot well lights on the passenger side are extremely dim. Tesla worked on it but did not make it any better. Abstract Ocean is still working on a fix but nothing as yet.

    Show of hands… Adaptive Suspension

    I have traveled at all settings. I I have driven in comfort, standard and sport. Also, low and medium. I would run in high if I could. I have set my 19 inch tires to 36 psi until I realized that was dangerous. The suspension on my 22MS is poor, worse than any car I have ever had. And I have...

    Show of hands… Adaptive Suspension

    The suspension on my 2022 MS is terrible. Anything that Steve or anyone else can do to improve that suspension would be greatly appreciated. For those of you with cars with cars that do not have this problem, I am happy for you.

    What is the dumbest thing your Tesla does?

    Interesting. I also have an iPhone 12 with the same issue. I had not noticed any correlation if my iPhone is locked or unlocked, but in the future, I will be more observant. Thanks for your post.

    New Car - PPF

    Please correct me if I’m wrong, but it appears that Tesla did install PPF on a small section of my 22MS in front of the rear tires.

    From what I have read, most complaining of poor suspensions have a MS with a build date of @ early Dec/2021.

    Show of hands… Adaptive Suspension

    This was a pretty lively debate.The OP [Steve] believes that all MS have serious suspension issues that he has fully delineated. And he spent a huge amount of energy trying to resolve the issue. My personal belief is that only owners of MS cars manufactured around December 2021 have this issue...

    Glove box doesn't open after software update 2022.44.25

    From a voice command. And my cell coverage here is poor. I am under the impression you cannot open the glove box from the touchscreen on a 22MS.

    Glove box doesn't open after software update 2022.44.25

    I'm on version 2022.44.25.3 and have had the same problem for at least a week on my 22MS. This could be a serious issue if I were to be pulled over by the police and asked to show my registration. Anyway, I was able to open it a couple of times this afternoon but later I could not; the response...

    New Car - PPF

    I wonder why Tesla does not include PPF as an option. Although the procedure itself is labor intensive, on a mass scale Tesla has the capability to a do a superior job for far less than the going rate.

    Disabling Auto On Headlights

    I have a 22MS with the headlights set to "off". I park in well lit subterranean parking and whenever I start the car the headlights automatically "come on", which I do not want. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a fix for this? Thanks.

    Supercharger plug gets stuck in car?

    This happened to me twice in my 2022 model MS last month. The first time was at a Tesla supercharger and the second time was at Electrify America using a CCS adapter. In the first incident I called Tesla service and they told me how to find the plug in the trunk to release the cable. The release...

    Adaptive Suspension Damping… Real or Ruse? Which one do you have? Find out fast!

    I don’t recall going over any potholes, but we did go over a lot of speed bumps. Both cars were always in comfort mode. As to tire pressure, he runs at 44 and I run at 41. I’ll leave it to others to draw their own conclusions.

    Adaptive Suspension Damping… Real or Ruse? Which one do you have? Find out fast!

    I had the pleasure of meeting Maaz today and we compared our two cars. Maaz has owned many Teslas and is very happy with his suspension. My car for the last 20 years has been a Honda Accord, and I find that suspension far superior to my Tesla. I have referred to my ride as horrible. There are...

    Adaptive Suspension Damping… Real or Ruse? Which one do you have? Find out fast!

    You have a working suspension and I do not. I think it would be very illuminating to compare rides. I am retired and normally have an open schedule, but I do have a very busy weekend planned. Let's plan for something next week this coming Monday. I live near the Torrance border at Crenshaw and...
