I have a 2018 75D AWD and I just got a notice that my small battery needs service. After six years I suppose it's about time for its replacement. Can anyone tell me what Tesla charges for this 12 volt battery? Or, can I take it to Interstate Batteries for the replacement?

I have a 2018 Model S and my front pass. door handle won't present. It is one month out of warranty. So based on my research I purchased a paddle gear. Took it apart and discovered that the (one) paddle gear was good! The problem was a broken gear on the motor's shaft. Broke into two pieces. The...

I have a 2018 model S with 13k miles. I have 4 or 5 Very small chips in the windshield and now I have a straight line etched in the glass on the passenger side where the wiper blade stops at the clockwise sweep. I have never owned a car that had so many glass problems in such a short time...

I assume you did not get MCU2.

Thanks. I'll try scheduling it.

I have a 2018 S75D with AP2.5, MCU1, EAP, and I paid for FSD (no hardware update yet). I recently received updates 2010.12.11.5, then 2020.16.2.1 and they did not include the stop sign/traffic light control. Can anyone tell me if I missed something? I thought I would have received it by now. Is...

On my 2018 MS 75D with autopilot and FSD, on V10 I get Spotify on my menu but I can’t log in to my Spotify account. Do I need a Premium Spotify account?

Be sure to keep an eye on your UMC and 220 volt connector overheating. After about a year of charging my MS 75D I had the UMC shut down due to over heating in the connector. Turns out I used a low cost connector from Home Depot. I replaced it with a higher quality one. Others on the forum have...

Thanks. That is pretty straightforward. Too bad Tesla couldn’t display the amount after a charge.

I have a 2018 MS 75D and charge mostly from 220 Volt outlet in my garage. Is there a way get the number of kW hrs actually used to charge my car from the car? Or would I need to install an external meter?

My local service rep said that he will be getting the new tool to fix the yellow screen problem in the coming months. Has anyone heard anything more on this subject?

I too have been confused between driving on AP and driving with it off. My solution was to get in the habit of driving with my hands on the wheel at 10 & 2 with AP off and at position 4 & 8 with AP on. Works for me. Can’t wait for FSU.

I am planning my first long trip in my 2018 MS75D and I will use the trip planner in my car. I will be traveling from Ohio to Florida so I will encounter cold and hot weather. Driving locally in the cold weather I notice a big difference between the actual odometer miles and the battery charge...

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I have about 175 miles on the car but very few miles using Autopilot. I assumed that the camera calibration is done without the autopilot being engaged.

I had a chance to try it briefly this afternoon and it does seem to work. However I needed to get my wheel well over the line to start the vibration in the steering wheel. I will need to try it further to ge a better sense of its functionality.
