    Summon with Key Fob - Model X

    Apparently that is referred to as "Park Seek Mode"...

    Firmware 8.0

    I've been seeing this for quite some time. If the the lane to the left or right is divided, lines will appear as will cars located in those lanes.

    HVAC Running by Itself

    Interesting.... Oddly enough, I didn't think of that. Some of the computers are running constantly. So, venting the cabin probably helps.

    HVAC Running by Itself

    Before you ask. I have smart preconditioning turned off. I was washing Sparky today and as I'm doing it (not plugged in), the HVAC blower turns on high. No AC as the compressor didn't appear to be running nor was the condenser fans. Either it was trying to determine the real cabin temp or it...

    Firmware 7.1

    This is the first time I'm going to do this on a forum and is not meant to be disrespectful in any way... Can we please take this back to discussion of relevant 7.1 firmware issues, features, etc.? I'm a geek just like the rest and love to read hacking/reverse engineering info, but I'm more...

    Firmware 7.1

    I too had the charging amperage cut in half. You'll find that if you set your amperage to anything above 40 it will cut in half (master charger maximum perhaps). If you set you amperage at 40, you should charge at 40A. Anything above will result in 1/2 of the amperage setpoint. Anything...

    HPWC outdoor install?

    I've had mine for just under 2 years. I just had to replace the whip due to a damaged wand. I opened it up and it was perfectly dry and there was no sign of corrosion. I would say you'll be fine.

    Issues connecting/disconnecting from WiFi

    I had it installed at the service center. The cost was $500 and it was well worth it. Not so much from the web browser perspective, however, the map re-draw and Slacker are very responsive. Signal strength also appears to be higher as well. Perhaps something you may consider? They change...

    Issues connecting/disconnecting from WiFi

    I've never had an issue with WiFi and I did have the LTE upgrade installed in my P85D. I noticed something interesting. When I switch from Park to Drive, the car switches to LTE even though I'm in my driveway and haven't moved. One thing you want to make sure is that your SSID is not the...

    LTE Upgrade, Did YOU Do It?

    Well worth it. App connectivity seems mildly faster. The web browser is hit or miss although it still appears to be hit or miss. And the map refresh and slacker are through the roof. Voice recognition seems to work faster as well.

    My charge port has dementia

    I know this may sound odd. But it actually does make sense. Whether it's actually the problem is another matter. Firmware is updated on a module by module process (this is why it takes so long). Apparently they check to see what the module level is and if it meets the current levels, it...

    My charge port has dementia

    I know it's annoying, but I would try a reboot.

    My charge port has dementia

    I hope it doesn't spread to the rest of the car... It might drive off in the middle of the night and forget where it is... I know, bad, bad, bad. But the devil made me do it...

    LTE upgrade issues?

    I think it may have been a little overzealous with the bars. Watch the caching, it's just as fast. I think they just more accurately report the signal strength. Remember, the strength isn't always about your ability to receive (as the tower has more power), it's about your ability to transmit...

    Are winter tires needed with the "D"??

    This is a very good question. Considering this myself.
