    Is there any update or way to have phone as key card in 2018 S?

    Without having to open the app and select start? Similar to newer model Teslas where you just approach the car with your phone in your pocket, get in and drive.

    Talk me off the ledge...

    I have an 2018 100 D with little to no issues. I do really like having that sunroof, why I bought a leftoever 2018 in 2019 since was no longer available. Get whichever you like and step down from the ledge.

    Complete Tesla newb. Looking for info between 2018 MS vs 2019

    2018 saw the last of the sunroof (an awesome feature to have) and possibly the last of enhanced autopilot which is also a great feature (basically all FSD features for highway driving)

    The dreaded "BMS_s172 Vehicle may not start alert" and a positive service experience (Raleigh NC)

    I read so many negative service experience posts that I thought I would infuse a little positivity. Seems this error message (while obviously very alarming) most of the time relates to an issue with the 12v battery or the coolant heater. My car ended up needing the latter replaced under...

    When do I really have to bring in my MS for routine mainenance?

    2018 MS 100D, 15k miles over 2 years of ownership, no issues. I was thinking of going 3 years before getting first ever routine maintenance. What do I really need other than checking brake fluid and cabin filters? Do I really need an A/C recharge if A/C working fine? I don't need dealer to...

    my S is a different car in winter vs. summer

    shoulda, woulda, coulda, easy for you to say now... I stopped at a SC 15 min into the trip and topped off to around 250 mile range, my car just burned up the juice

    my S is a different car in winter vs. summer

    I have in the past taken up to 260 mile nonstop trips without hesitation or incident (2018 MS, 335 mi published range, charges to 332). I have never before faced severe range anxiety until yesterday. I knew the car was less efficient in cold weather, but I took a 145 mile trip in the freezing...

    why has my dash display changed without a recent software update???

    This morning I am now for the first time seeing a new dash display with the driver visualization box much bigger (see pic), I have not had a software update in a couple of weeks (see version pasted below). Why does my software version say "bad" at the end? What is going on?
