    “Routing With No Traffic Data” - Causes?

    mine also started working again on 4/25. Glad I didn't pay them $100 to remote into my car if the issue was something on their end.

    “Routing With No Traffic Data” - Causes?

    It sounds like it's not specific to my car and unfortunately just started for others this week as well. Hopefully they get it fixed.

    “Routing With No Traffic Data” - Causes?

    The strange thing in my case is the traffic shows up on smaller side roads, but not on interstates (even if I don't have a destination selected).

    “Routing With No Traffic Data” - Causes?

    i just started having this problem this week. My car has premium connectivity included (I have not had to pay for it, monthly or annually) and has been mostly care free for the two years i have had the car. Just this week it asked me to update the connectivity (pay for it). I have reset the car...

    DC - DC converter / AC compressor repair

    update, after about two weeks, the blower seems to have stopped working. i havent checked the fuses, but i went into service mode and ran the thermal test. the only errors it showed were related to the bumper cover louvers. during the thermal test, i could fee the air get cold and also hot, but...

    DC - DC converter / AC compressor repair

    I went into the service mode after the new parts were installed and the eight codes i had before i changed out the fuse is now down to three. That is always a good sign. is swapping out an A/C compressor something that i can do (or an indie shop) or does it have to be completed at the SC?

    DC - DC converter / AC compressor repair

    Back up and running and I have heat! Seems the bad compressor fuse was to blame. Fingers crossed it holds out. One thing to note for others is the make sure you get the electric cable run for the passenger side marker light installed behind the bolt (there's only one, the other two are nuts)...

    DC - DC converter / AC compressor repair

    I'm doing this exact job now on my '13 P85. the compressor fuse is blown, but the PTC heater one was ok (replacing both of the 40A fuses while i am in there, along with the 2, 20A fuses). are any of these fuses directional? Do they have to be installed in a certain direction (suspect not, but...

    Rattle from brake pads (according to Tesla)

    ok, good to know. I'll take everything apart again and regrease with the pins with Silaramic grease (unless CRC disk brake quiet is better, but i think that is just for the back of the pads). Are there supposed to be shims between the pad and caliper? when i pulled them recently i did not see...

    Rattle from brake pads (according to Tesla)

    i think i am experience this exact same thing. my front end (seems to be the driver side) rattles at low speeds with road vibration or bumps. these cars are SO quiet that this one Gremlin is driving me nuts! while you cant press the accelerator and brake at the same time, if i time it right...

    Recommendation on Front upper control arms?

    what did you end up going with for your replacement? SC cost was too much ($285 for just the part)and i have all of the tools to do it myself. I'm just trying to figure out which ones to go with. RockAuto has a variety of them. I was comparing these two: Delphi $82. BECK/ARNLEY $157. And...

    057 Technology

    I just called their local and 800 number and received an automated message directing me to contact them via their website. Upon submitting an inquiry there, the website showed an error submitting the request. I would REALLY like for my warranty i purchased back in 2022 to still be valid....

    057 Technology

    I bought a warranty in the summer of 2022 and did not receive my plug in device. I called them on August 1 and spoke to Russ and and he said everything was still in place and they were still having issues with parts and not able to make new battery monitors. He also said they had a server crash...
