For Sale: 21" Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyre for Tesla Model S 265/35 Acoustic Treat depth ~5mm A puncture on the other rear tyre led to both tyres having to be replaced with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres. This "Pilot Super Sport" tyre was then redundant. Let me know if you're interested with...

For Sale 19" Cyclone Alloys + Nokian Winter Tyres + Tyre Bags Having just traded in my wife's Model S, I am left with the second set of alloy wheels I'd originally purchased with the car. These are 19" 245/45 profile Tesla "Cyclone" alloys in good condition (some minor marks; minor paint...

It would be good to know if newer cars - those not affected by the eMMC recall, in particular - have this problem. My suspicion is that this could be related to the eMMC recall, as a way of limiting bandwidth (and hence "wear" of the chip). However, past experience has shown that such is the...

Yes, but it would be nice if they played now. And sadly, they don't - at least, not on either of the two Model S cars we own. I've been chasing this up with Tesla for over a year. I contacted them again yesterday - they dug out a massive pile of correspondence and expressed surprise that the...

Nope. The system just won't play high-res audio files, no matter how many or how few. And the sad fact is that the system used to work until a software "update" broke this feature.

The complete indifference Tesla are showing to this issue - and their dire customer service - speak volumes. As I have noted on this thread, I have repeatedly called Tesla about this problem: basically, a feature that I paid for that they have broken. I have spent hours describing the symptoms...

June 2014 Model S: No door handle issues in ca. 7 years. September 2016 Model S: 2 door handles replaced in ca. 5 years.

Just to report that high-res USB playback is STILL BROKEN following the "Christmas" software update to 2020.48.12.1 (at least, on my car). FWIW: I have reported this issue to Tesla multiple times now. I eventually had someone asking me to provide audio samples that would replicate the issue...

Thanks for the news! No sign of any updates for either of my cars - but I'll now know what to expect :-)

Very possibly, but this is the latest firmware for my two Teslas (these are both AP1.0 - perhaps that's why?). In any case, I'm now in a state where a Tesla firmware update has removed functionality from my vehicle…

Thanks to @f205v I've just found this thread, having reported elsewhere (High-Resolution USB Audio Broken?) that my car with an older firmware version (2020.36.11) had mysteriously lost the ability to play my 24-bit 96- or 192kHz FLAC files. I reported this to Tesla via the "Report a Bug"...

Thanks for the link! So, after 6 years of ownership, what do we get? The ability to play silly games in a parking lot. Great.

For reference, this is what I see when trying to play a high-res FLAC file:- IMG_6847 by d.c.palmer posted Nov 19, 2020 at 10:13 AM For those that care, this is the recent Channel Classics recording of Mahler's 3rd symphony with Ivan Fischer conducting the Budapest Festival Orchestra. It's an...

Attempting to play a high-resolution (24-bit 192 kHz) FLAC file on system version 2020.36.11 (these files used to play fine!)

Many thanks for confirming my suspicions! Much appreciated… This raises an interesting legal issue: conventional cars generally get worse with time, whereas Tesla claims that - thanks to its over-the-air software updates - its vehicles get better with time. That's until they go and break...
