    Mysterious "Power" display in cluster screen

    That's it! Just prior to the PRIOR update, I set the analog clock to the left screen. That explains it. Thanks.

    Mysterious "Power" display in cluster screen

    Model S - What's This Screen? by Brick Pilot posted Jan 18, 2017 at 3:12 PM Not sure how this "Power" display popped up in my cluster screen. Any ideas? it has survived for a few days now, even through an update. The Motor Amp value goes up to 1025A when I floor it. Kind of interesting...

    2014 Tesla Model S P85+. $80,500. No Autopilot. LOADED, with every option available. - No Longer Ava

    Indeed. He is asking 80.5, but says he is turning down an offer from Tesla for 81? Something doesn't quite add up.

    Proactive Contactor Replacement

    Today I received notice from my SC in Bellevue, WA to bring my car in. Here's what my Service Advisor said: "Engineering has identified your car as potentially benefitting from a switch and power supply update. The technicians will evaluate your high-voltage system and determine whether it...

    interior leather showing wearing signs after just 100 miles?

    I have wear like you are describing on my driver's seat. I have a 9/2013 P85+ with gray performance interior. The seat edge looks kind of swirled after a year of use.

    If you do not mind, Please post your trade in offer from Tesla so we can compare note

    My car is a P85+, black on gray interior. $115K new on 9/12013. Tesla offered me $76,800 trade in and said it was firm because the 2nd buyer doesn't get the $7500; federal tax credit and WA sales tax waiver. I'm not in agreement with that logic, and I declined their "generous offer". I'm...

    Plugging into USB instantly crashes both screens

    I leave my music HD plugged into the USB port all the time. It doesn't seem to affect startup in the least.

    "Balloon squeal" acceleration whine gone with 6.0

    I received my 6.0 OTA update this morning. After the update, my balloon squeal sound I used to hear during hard acceleration in my P85+ is gone. Has anyone else noticed this as well?

    Service wait time on park assist problem

    Does this error indicate a problem with your parking sensors? If so, it is probably seen by the SC as a noncritical error, and not something that need immediate attention. Bellevue WA SC doesn't seem this backed up. Each time I've contacted mine, my problems (rotor hum, fishtailing, 12V...

    Lost both keys to my MS, and the service was outstanding!

    I certainly hope it was replaced. The Ranger had a laptop plugged into a jack behind the left-side dash panel, and he had the carpet pulled back in front of the passenger's seat, and I saw some bolts bolts, and saw a new flat module on the seat (I think). I didn't see the old unit. The new...

    Lost both keys to my MS, and the service was outstanding!

    Yes, I'm that guy; I lost both keys to my MS. I'm just scatterbrained that way. And, yes, I turned the house and garage upside down for 2 days trying to find them. So, today I wrote Maddy at Tesla Bellevue (WA) and she let me know that besides the two keys, a new Body Control Module (BCM) is...

    Thoughts on the HPWC, Feedback from Licensed Electricians on my Q

    Check the insulation on the 6ga wire in the HPWC and you will find that it is rated much higher than you might expect: 105c. I wired my home HPWC with 4 ga 105c wire and I'm drawing 70A (set on the HPWC DIPs) and it barely even gets warm. It should be noted that the HPWC is located 2 feet from...
