FYI Tesla Connect is no longer in the Windows store for phones or Windows 8/10 tablets/desktops If you already have it, it should stay on your device and keep working Tesla is apparently now taking down apps that use the name 'Tesla' or use logos that look like their T logo (I think drew mine...

There is "trim_badging": "70d", on the vehicle_config json, that will tell you the actual model. you can find it with /data_request/vehicle_config, or just /data returns everything

I had a problem like this, for me it was some felt material under the mirror between the fixed piece and the moving top that was loose and getting in the way (actually an inch or so of the clothy material was sticking out so it was obvious what it was). I think the service center just cut off...

For me wind noise from the modelS having frameless doors is by far the most distracting noise at higher speeds, though it probably varies wildly by car since its dependent on how good the seals and your window aligns with the body when closed. I was hoping for more improvement between my 2013 S...

With the Model S, and I assume the X (and hopefully the 3), the 'vegan' option is no additional cost but you do have to ask for it as a special item that requires talking to a person since its not in the online order form. On the S, requesting the vegan option gets you a non-leather wrapped...

yeah but the point is a much smaller download size for the app

not a resT API question, but if anyone has played with recoloring Tesla's PNGs could you PM me? The latest Tesla apps don't have separate PNGs for each color of the ModelS/X anymore, instead they're repainting them on the fly - which I'm trying to do and add model X graphics to my app, but...

Note that those cables (and most all usb-c's on amazon right now) don't follow the usb-C spec when plugged into a usb2 or usb3 port. They tell the device they are plugged into a usb-c on the other end which makes your phone think they can pull more power than older usb ports are rated for. On...

with 7.0, is_front_defroster_on has a value of 3 whenever the climate control is on. (and a value of 1 if front defrost is actually on). Any ideas what the 3 is supposed to mean?

I miss that the climate control doesn't show you the current Fan speed or what vents its using anymore (unless you open the menu). I used to use that to tell if the heat was on or not and adjust the temp (since I don't want the heat on chewing up the battery, I end up having to adjust things...

Saw this note on facebook about getting autopark to work: Hey guys, I'm a product specialist. We just got an email today explaining that the self park requires calibration, which in this case is simply driving the car around for several hours so the sensors can calibrate with curbs and what...

In traffic TACC v7 seems improved over 6.2, I never went into Hold mode (maybe its gone?) even waiting through a whole traffic light. the old tacc would often brake and accelerate harder than I would in traffic, haven't used it enough to tell if that's improved much or not, maybe a little...

I experienced the same complaint today of it trying to exit on every offramp I went by... (seattle area, 520west) even with the Nav destination set to be going straight ahead (maybe it could take that into account). Hopefully it learns fast from the # of people that will be jerking the wheel to...

The leather one is super smooth in look, the vegan one has a fake leather pattern imprinted on it

I have the vegan steering wheel also (delivered end of May), the feel is a little less soft to the touch but otherwise pretty similar. Unclear if its still the newness, but the leather one (on previous model S and loaners i've had) built up a hand grease layer pretty quick, haven't noticed...
