I have made up a new set of enlarged stickers due to continued interest by TMC members. They will remain available for $6 per set, including US postage for domestic delivery (with an additional charge for other means of shipment). Contact me by a private message. Payment via PayPal preferred.

In principle I guess this would be possible, but it sounds a lot more involved and difficult than just organizing another group purchase. I'd do one, but I'm already up to my eyeballs in other projects and responsibilities. Good luck!

It's not that I rely on the prompts for my routine driving -- but if they are part of the system, they should at least work properly, and one requirement of that is that they be timely. And in a compex traffic pattern that a driver is not familiar with, audio announcements can be helpful.

I got the infotainment upgrade with my MCU2 installation in June 2020, followed by an AM/FM installation in Mar 2021. The list of stations that I can scroll through using the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel seems to have gotten randomized, making it frustrating to find stations...

There's room for criticism of the navigation system on my 2017 Model S. It makes me miss TomTom Navigator on my old mobile phone, which always gave me plenty of advance audio warning of required manuevers ahead. In my S, the annoucement to do something often arrives either as I'm already doing...

Thanks for the comments. I think we can safely lay this to rest. After showing my sister the materials kindly shared by Watts_Up, and pushing her a bit, I understand things differently. She lives in Sausalito, which has lots of very steep and winding roads, and sharp turns, so the road...

I am the original owner and grateful driver of a 2017 Model S. My sister recently acquired a model Y, which she is also very happy with. However, a close friend of hers who is an ICE engineer/designer (hence, not a disinterested party) told her of a "Model Y design defect" such that in some...

I note that several other members have mentioned problems with the non- or incorrect display of radio station logos. I was pleasantly surprised several weeks ago when one of the logos for a favorite FM station suddenly reappeared on my Model S dash display. However, it was alone, no other...

Of course. Hope my notes are correct, but I believe the parts you need are from JST Connectors (who was the OEM for the parts used by Tesla): 1) Socket housing: part no. PNIRP-02V-S (the white plastic connector that mates with the one on the visor). 2) Contact: part no. SPND-001T-C0.5 (the...

So sorry to read about your event. I am distressed that this problem is still occurring. Happily for me, it has not recurred with my Model S. Here are the notes from my maintenance log some weeks after the event: I called Tesla Roadside Assistance who used telemetry data to confirm...

I purchased the MCU2/HW3 upgrade for my 2017-vintage Model S over a year ago, and when the FM radio module became available, had that installed as well. I was happy to get back FM radio reception, but noticed that the colorful and informative station logos that appeared on the dash display with...

I'm sad to be posting again to this thread, which I started in May 2018 with a description of a problem with my Model S rear hatch not latching properly, leaving the car unlockable, and thus unusable if you think it important to lock your vehicle when it is unattended, which is a must in my...

My thanks go to Danny of the from support team, who pointed out that the much more simply formatted output of "Elastic Search" (as opposed to the word-salad mess from the Threadloom search engine) can be displayed by preference by opening up the Settings panel for your account (accessible using...

I've worked heavily with the Web since its inception, and have a lot of respect for the amount of talent and effort that goes into setting up and maintaining a good site. It is particularly painful for me to criticize the TMC site, as it has proven to be hugely helpful to me in the past, during...

Is it possible that the ants are trying to get into the window washer reservoir (which is near the area where they are entering your vehicle)? See this discussion: https://www.mr2oc.com/threads/ants-in-windshield-washer-tank.222038/
