yes it's not an alert so much as it is a show-stopper for using Nav for any destination. I didn't realize how much I used the nav until haven't had it to use! Using Waze on my phone isn't great, an I don't have a phone mount in this car yet, thinking I need to get an ESR Magsafe dashmount and...

Haha thanks, I was going to put an intro post together with some nice pics etc and some detail...I love this Tesla!!!! It's like a familiar old shoe, and the same colour as my Plaid I sold, Deep Blue Metallic 🔵

OK, cool thanks, I’ll give it a try! Have a great weekend!

OK, thanks I left it in my driveway connected to Wi-Fi. Hopefully it’s just going to grab what it needs. I went back into the car to check on it and it wasn’t navigating to anywhere and I couldn’t see any download progress so I chose another destination got the connect to Wi-Fi dialogue box...

OK, maybe I spoke too soon. It’s saying it needs an update again. I wonder if needs back to back updates ?

I did two finger scroll wheel reboot and LTE came back online. I didn’t think I would’ve had to do that since it rebooted after the NAV update and I figured I was fine.

Is there anyway I can combine a few of my threads on my newly acquired 2016 model S I’ve got a few things to ask about the car and I keep starting new threads. I figured it would be good to have a general thread. I’m wondering if I can combine them? Thanks !

After I reset, I lost the LTE data streaming, but under software, it says premium connectivity included package Any ideas?

It worked! Took about 25m then rebooted, big T for a couple of mins NOW NAV WORKS!!!! Omg love it! Trip coming up tomorrow! Thanks again for the help, really appreciate it!!!

OK, maybe I’ve just got to be patient. I just got the car home, connected to Wi-Fi and I’m not getting any progress bar or anything, but maybe it’s doing its thing in the background? Hopefully it’ll work when I’m not in the car and things are off and the car is locked. Thanks very much!

Thanks I’m going to check it out! OK, I’m getting a different message now, maybe it’s more promising? Navigation data update required. Please connect to Wi-Fi to download the navigation data update. I am definitely connected to Wi-Fi.

Thanks for the info so far guys, I appreciate it! I dropped into the dealer again, and spoke to a technician who said he be able to reset the nav and get it going but no promises. Does anyone know what that means? I asked if I could buy i new SD card and they just thought that was funny, they...

Thank you for explaining, I think I had too many coffees before the test drive and was a little impatient! Really appreciate the detail! Closing in on the 2016 today, see if can hammer out a good deal on this project car! Okay, maybe it's not that bad...

"Dec 2023 MS LR, Ultra Red, white interior, 19" Tempest wheels, FSD - 9k miles and counting." Btw, I love the spec of your MS, I'd do the same. The Ultra Red 🔴is drop dead gorgeous! with the white interior?😍 I'd do the 19s as well, better range, and they still look good.

Does the whole dash need to come apart to get at the MCU?

Okay thanks I'll check but I'm pretty sure it's AP1?

I'm considering registering a used Tesla under my company's name instead of my personal name, but I'm concerned about potential difficulties in adding it to my Tesla app. Has anyone done this before? Added a company vehicle to their app? Since it's my company, could I also link my personal name...

Yes the SOC was the acceleration "problem." ;) at 90-100% it bolts of the line like a scared jackrabbit, especially in launch mode/cheetah stance, lots of fun!

Okay, thanks for the feedback. Haha no, the 2 hours included 20m each way in gridlock traffic, 25m of racing around trying launch mode, seeing how the half shafts behaved under hard launches, etc. and about 35m or so for charging? Yes I want it for FUSC down the road, but want to make sure I...

You know I had the car for almost 2 hours trying to supercharge it and I completely forgot to check for that sticker, darn! So maybe it’s about right for range? It seems I’m getting about the same. I know those tools you can get that plug into the ODB port to allow reading of all the cell...

Do you guys know if there is a switch to turn on when you change lanes on autopilot with the old Teslas? my 2015 used to stay on auto pilot. This 2016 might as well but it was a quick test drive and maybe it was just slow trying to move into the next lane. It’s got summon in the menu so I...

Well, I guess they’re in business to make money as she wouldn’t even talk about a fix just an MCU 2.0 upgrade! I’d probably want to get that anyway, and if I get the car for the right price, I will most likely do it

So a Tesla I’m considering… figured I would check to see what a full charge gives at a local supercharger. It’s a 2016 P90D and apparently it got 426 km new (does that sound right?) and now I charged it up to 385 at 100% that’s about 10% deg. Oh it’s got 70k km on it. My 2015 only dropped...

Hey, thanks Dave. I wonder how I would populate the card with the map data or am I looking at this wrong? 😉

True, but this one actually has LTE

Hey guys, 2016 Tesla model S. I pick a destination and it never connects. I had this happen on my 2016 and Tesla told me it was either an antenna problem or some MMC chip that needed replacing. Honestly with so many many years ago, I really don’t remember. So I called them about this and they...

Yes Tesla said $80 and not 100% result but better. At least they're honest.

I agree the dual motor P85DL+ has a similar power level to the 2021 MS LR but off the line the LR doesn't seem to have that hard-hitting punch my 2015 P85DL+ had. ~3.2 0-60 vs ~2.8? on a roll they seem about equal. Just going from seat of pants feel that's all.

I really appreciate your detailed reply and help with my decision, sorry I'm taking to long to get back to you. The P90D with FUSC is an okay car but not a great one. I like the colour, but the paint needs a fair bit of work. Lots of chips and scratches. The Nav keeps spinning trying to connect...

I didn't have much luck selling my 2015 P85DL, maybe I didn't list it right or handle the responses properly, but in the process I learned what the car was worth and managed to get $39,999+ tax saving on a trade-in for the Plaid which was priced fairly at the time.

I hear what you’re saying but my 2015 had sc01 and was transferred to a new owner through a third-party dealer. He reported back no credit card needed. He has free supercharging and premium connectivity. Concerning the 2016 it’s at a Chrysler dealer. I I drove it to a supercharger, plugged in...

Actually, Tesla confirmed it’s SC01 according to the dealer they bought a lucid so it didn’t get (obviously !) transferred

That’s what I was thinking thank you very much! My wife thinks I should get over my obsession for free supercharging and just pick a better car and not worry about that. 🤔

I'm looking to get an interim car with SC01 FUSC (Free Unlimited Supoercharging) and Tesla warned me even if Tesla re-introduces FUSC transfers, I might not be able to transfer to a new MS as she thought it only applied to the original owner. This doesn't sound right, just thought I'd check with...

No, I'm holding out, thinking of getting the Juniper update next year which may be 510HP or hopefully more, if it's competing (at the dragstrip!) with the Macan EV Turbo. We all have a feeling the new drivetrain is capable of 600HP! I just can't see that Macan with 630HP cleaning up the Tessy...

Yes, you're right, I did sell privately, and did okay actually. yes, I got 50% more than Tesla's offer! The buyer didn't care about FUSC as he charged at home and work. My 2015 P85DL had FUSC and I lost that. I'm looking to get another MS with FUSC and ride out the year or two and trade for a...

I traded in my 2015 P85DL Dual charger MCU2 virtually flawless car with 97k km on a 2022 refreshed Plaid (motorized tilt screen etc) and while it went like hell, I miss my old car and so does my wife. There was just something about the 2015 that made it great (for us, it’s hard to put into...

Not when you love your Model S. I would’ve got a new battery for my P85DL if I had to, what a great car it was. 😊

I know what you mean full self drive is a bit of a party trick, the crazy acceleration of the faster, Teslas. It’s fun, but it wears off. We’ve done many road trips in our older Tesla and it was so enjoyable auto pilot did about 80% of the driving. I wasn’t sure if auto pilot was better on...

Unfortunately, it’s an early 2016 pre-facelift, no fender cams, no century, AP 1.0. It’s still a nice car though and a pretty decent deal I think with free supercharging and premium connectivity. I tested the charging bug going to a local supercharger and managed 112 kW max at 20%. Not bad It...

Yes, I took a demo drive in this 2016 and went to the local supercharger. No credit card no account plugged in and charged ⚡️ like a charm. I did another thread, but I’m trying to decide on this and a 2017 P100DL with AP 2.0 it’s another $14,000 and no free supercharging but much nicer...

OK, thank you!

Oh, are you referring to when they stopped offering free supercharging? That sounds like about the right time.

Hey guys, I’m considering getting another older model Tesla similar to my 2015 P85DL that I sold. So 2016 with 70K KMs Free Supercharging Lots of nicks and scratches battery shows 240 km at 40% seems like it’s pretty high capacity unless it’s not directly proportional?! C$40K Or 2017 P100DL...

Actually they were transferring them up to March 31, 2024. If you Google it, the link is on the Tesla site. Previously, it ended December 31, 2023, but they renewed the program.

Yes, I know, but they (free options) seem to go hand-in-hand? At least they did on my 2015 and they don’t on my 2022.

OK, thank you very much for the information!

Hey guys, fast forwarding six years here… I’m looking at a 2017 with the yellow bands on the screen. How much is it to fix a Tesla in Canadian funds? I’ve called them twice today. Got stuck on hold for 20 minutes each time and no one picked up.

I can’t wait for some curb sensors. You know, modern day curb feelers! Just imagine some ultrasonics at the sides of the car that tells you how many inches you are from the curb… would love that. Or some cameras for Tesla vision. I really didn’t believe the guy that said Teslas are very curbable...
