Thank you very much! I was planning to start trying to fix the same wiper problem on our 2021 S LR. I wasn't quite sure where to start and now I'll just wait for Tesla to fix it while hoping I won't have to drive in the rain. Computers - a blessing or a curse. Just depends on the day I guess.

Now that is an excellent red! The rest of the car is nice too. :cool:

Before EVs entered the market place ICE designers and engineers produced vehicles that took advantage of the latest technology and in some instances were very pleasing to the eye. I am not advocating the use of ICE vehicles, just giving credit to people who did an excellent job with the tech...

We have been watching the Barrett-Jackson auction for the past several days and can't believe the sales prices - a 1971 Plymouth Hemi Cuda for $525,000!!!! Yes, a lot of these cars have been seriously modified but that Cuda couldn't have sold for much more than $5,000 brand new. And since then...

And the Fob is only a small part of the damage this Beast has caused! He is the most Alpha dog we have ever had. He is constantly challenging us. He's getting better and, hopefully, he will soon relax and enjoy just being part of the pack.

That is one serious German Shepherd! The breed standard lists 90 pounds as the maximum weight. I didn't realize they got that big. Our 95 pound Doberman loves our S with the back seat down with Weather Tech mats for traction.

Lorax, He did manage to pop the frunk and trunk open and we initially couldn't figure out how that happened. Took a while to realize he did that from inside the house! I always thought that you had to have the Fob within inches of the frunk or trunk to make it work.

So I set my key Fob down, just for a minute, and then forgot about it. The photograph below shows what happened when our dog found his new "toy". Will he ever stop chewing on anything and everything he can fit his teeth around?!?!

It is! It does? Then why did I just get this email from Tesla written as if this heat pump thing was brand new to the S. Very frustrating and irritating to be so misleading! Oh yes, it's Tesla.

Ostrichsak, I watched the short video that came with the email and thought that was probably the case but was still hopeful. I guess we'll just have to trade in our 21 S and get a new one. :D I'll try to find an hour to watch the video you suggested. Thanks

Just read an article from Tesla about a new heat pump to improve mileage in the winter by capturing excess heat from the battery and use it to heat the cabin in winter. Is there a retrofit for cars built before this became standard equipment?

Ah, an advantage to having to wait most of a year for the delivery of your car! I think I read the owner's manual at least 3 times in the interim. And I still almost returned to the Tesla store after less than 2 blocks because the acceleration was way too scary. It took me a minute to remember...

I'm sure this question has been asked and answered before but... When checking tire pressures I am aware that you should check them when cold, meaning before they are driven and after they have had a few hours to cool off after driving. But what about the difference between checking them on a...

Ah, memories... This thread has reminded me of 2 experiences when I was much younger. The first was a trip from Niagara Falls to Chicago and back. On the return trip the snow on the highways was as much as 10 inches deep and I hardly slowed down from the speed limit in spite of the fact that my...
