    What happened to my rear heated seats?

    I have a 2015 Model S which has gone through many iterations of UI changes throughout the years. One of the things I seem to recall was that heated rear seats was available through the app and the MCU. Granted I rarely have passengers in the rear seat and I'm in California, but it's still...

    Supercharger - Sacramento, CA - Delta Shores (under construction Feb 2024, 28 stalls)

    Hopefully the pin is temporary for location too as it is where the movie theater is located. I can imagine people parking in the EV spots out of convenience.

    Supercharger - Ashland, OR (LIVE 1 Sep 2023, 24 V3 stalls)

    The last photo posted in this thread is of another Supercharger. The last update photos as of April 3rd doesn't even have the lot paved - far from being done.

    I believe that's the Sutherlin location.

    Wiki Sudden Loss Of Range With 2019.16.x Software

    I haven't been following this thread lately since I've lost 20+ miles of range after a firmware update. I haven't charged to 90% in a while, but the other day I ended up going that route. I was quite surprised to see my range has gone back up significantly. I think I've lost 3 or 4 miles now...

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    They reinstalled the firmware on mine the first time and within a month it was dead without them even looking at it and said I needed a new MCU. They didn't charge me the first time but got reamed when I got replacement. Good to know that I should get a refund though.

    Wiki Consolidated eMMC Thread (MCU repair) (Black Center Screen)

    Had to find my post that had the invoice. It was just under $3k. Just noticed that the invoice said the 12V battery would not hold a charge. I got the battery back due to me requesting it and when I hooked it up to my multimeter, it was still at 12V. Does anyone know where to get the battery...

    Wiki Consolidated eMMC Thread (MCU repair) (Black Center Screen)

    So Tesla is now offering to replace just the daughterboard rather than the whole MCU for a much reduced price? !@#$#@$!! Anybody have any luck getting a refund for Tesla unnecessarily raping me for replacement MCU and 12V battery that IMO wasn't needed?

    Supercharger - Elk Grove, CA - Elk Grove Blvd. (LIVE 21 Jul 2020, 16 V3 stalls)

    Story time... So I get to the Supercharger today to charge and notice a big pickup truck with a huge camper in tow. The guy was working underneath it but he was blocking multiple Tesla Superchargers so I approach him with my mask on and tell him that he's blocking the chargers for other cars...

    Replaced MCU, Tesla wants to keep part of my old MCU (need legal argument)

    No. I told them I would not pay for the part once they told me there would be a core charge even though they said otherwise earlier. The issue is always the same being the eMMC is worn due to Tesla cheaping out on parts and excessive logging of data. So it's not a matter of if the MCU will...

    Fix your door that won't open

    Electrified Garage did a video yesterday detailing the whole step and some shortcuts.

    Supercharger - Sacramento, CA - Freeport Blvd. (LIVE 29 Sep 2020, 8 V3 stalls)

    Funny how you mentioned nothing was to be done anything soon. I drove by that same day but about 5PM and they dug in that area. Kinda hard to see when it's shrunk down. Don't mind the bird poop or bug guts on the windshield.

    Supercharger - Elk Grove, CA - Elk Grove Blvd. (LIVE 21 Jul 2020, 16 V3 stalls)

    I drove by this afternoon and saw a little of the yellow tape still around. Didn't see any Teslas so I assume it isn't up.

    Supercharger - Elk Grove, CA - Elk Grove Blvd. (LIVE 21 Jul 2020, 16 V3 stalls)

    Stopped by today and the lights have been put in with some antennae thingamajig on top.

    Supercharger - Sacramento, CA - Arden Way (LIVE 11 Aug 2018, 19 urban stalls)

    These are 72kW Urban chargers though. Anyway, noticed they still have issues with certain stalls where it doesn't charge or is very slow to charge. If it is a preventative maintenance issue, I'm all for it.
