Same issue here, flickering LEDs on the steering wheel, right from the begining (dec. 2021 MS Plaid), not related with the heating or turning. I noticed also one of the front lights (right one) doing the same when the car is on, with just the parking lights on. Tesla changed the whole front...

Oh, and no more fast charging since then, only AC for now, don't know it it'll help but worth a try.

A follow-up for my 2014 MS 85kW battery with limited charging: my local 3rd party EV garage checked it, no faulty modules just a little imbalance in 2 of them. Reseted the error, 2.000 km later it's still good with the full range restored... Wondering how long it will last but for now not at all...

I use Nvidia Shield game controller in my MS Plaid 2022, needs to be plugged in the USB-C port. It is also recognized by BT but it appears always disconnected.

Oh, I have a strange setup: Plaid in the garage, plugged with the mobile charger to 220 V, id.4 with NACS adapter plugged at the Tesla Wall charger (limited to 40 A) in the driveway and the Model S with J 1772 adapter plugged with the id.4 mobile charger at 110 V also in the driveway 😜 All this...

Try at least to heat the garage then so the car will continue to charge even with a 110 outlet.

Agree for the charging, I also always leave my cars plugged in during the winter. So that means that if the battery charges, the temp. is high enough anyways (5-10 C as jcanoe said) so the battery won’t “suffer” from the prolonged cold. I will probably still turn the preconditioning on from...

I also wondered that if I turn on the preconditioning during very cold days (-20 C) while having the car plugged in is better for the long term health of the battery. I don’t drive the car after that, just turn it off after about 30 min. so it will heat the battery. The car is always plugged...

Yes it is, no part number though was just verbal and I didn’t pulled the trigger yet. If they really offer 8 years, I’ll prob. go with that. Still have an appointment in 1 month with ExpertEV in Montréal but I’m scared now if they have to open the battery because of the possible core charge from...

Great thread, I just bought a 2014 S with the BMS_u29 error code and thought about trying repair it at a local shop but if opening the battery will cause an extra 20k on the top of the 18k (CAD) at Tesla, I think I'll go directly with a swap 😳 Also, my local SC told me that I get a 8y warranty...

Hi, I just bought a Model S 2014 with 200k km AND with the BMS_u29 error which limits the charging at about 35% of the battery capacity. The price was great so I took the chance to repair the battery and continue using the car for a long time. I saw some threads with the same error but did’t...

Normally, when the battery is not only charging faster (the supercharge) but also when discharging (which is also faster in Plaid), it gets lower mileage in time. That being said, I also love the Plaid mode and not sure that over a few years we can see any difference... The problem sometimes is...

I was also afraid something like this (or less dramatic) can happen while supercharging, let’s say during the night in a not too safe location… Even with the doors closed, we are not able to drive away because of the connected cable… An emergency disconnect mecanism should be available in this case!

Just a note: I have 2016 MS AP2 with FSD and Sentry Mode and Tesla Cam works after the HW3 upgrade; I still have the MCU1 and I'll do the EMCC recall only for now as I still have 3 years of the ESA and maybe something will break so I only have to pay the deductible :D (already had all 4 door...

I’m resurrecting the topic, have the same problem with missing fonts and “2886400 EMEM decode error”. Sometimes when I put the car in rear drive, the image from rear camera freezes. Done the FSD retrofit today but not yet the MCU 2 upgrade so I’ll wait see if it helps prevent the error as some...
