    Model S only 222 miles of range?

    Interesting replies. I was primarily asking this because it seems that by publishing this 'data' in a respected automotive magazine, the publishers are being somewhat irresponsible in downplaying the capabilities of the Tesla S brand compared to the Taycan, making it seem like there isn't really...

    Model S only 222 miles of range?

    Just wondering how Car & Driver magazine can achieve only 222 miles of range on its published testing for the Model S Long-Range when the EPA rating is 327 miles? (And now Tesla’s site says 390 miles?)

    Wiki Model X Reset Techniques

    I have lost the Voice icon on my center console, so can’t make hands-free calls or voice activated navigation. I have tried resetting and Power off. Nothing has helped. Any suggestions?

    Voice Command icon not appearing on monitor

    This is amazingly illogical--but it works. I just dislike honking the horn whenever I want to place a phone call or inputting a hands-free address for navigation....Just wish I knew what happened to disable the button-press...

    Voice Command icon not appearing on monitor

    I am using software version V10.32.12.2 and I can no longer access my Voice Commands. The icon won't appear on the Dashboard monitor, so I can't dial my connected phone nor ask for Navigation. I have tried resetting the software via the steering wheel buttons and Power Off. Nothing works. Any...

    Solid AP Improvements on v10 - Initial Impressions

    My experience with TACC in city driving is that it doesn't reduce its speed gradually (like a human would) when approaching stopped cars at an intersection ahead, but flies onward at full speed, then applies the brakes aggressively to come to a stop, and then stops farther away from the vehicle...

    Blog Tesla Horn to Get Custom Sounds – Goats, Farts, Coconuts

    Contrary to most others' opinions here I really dislike this whole idea. Yeah, it's perhaps funny in a juvenile way--but what is it about Elon Musk and flatulence anyway? What releasing news like this to the public does is to make a laughing-stock out of Tesla--which already suffers from so much...

    X 75D vs. Mustang GT? Meh....

    I don't condone drag racing on city streets, but yesterday I just couldn't resist: a big, bold Mustang GT pulled up alongside me at a stop-light, rumbling and grumbling and showing his muscles, all sound and thunder. Very macho, gunning the engine purposefully: vroom, vroom. Empty street ahead...

    Cannot download latest update

    I just opened the app on my iphone. There was a button there for downloading the software (it’s gone now). I clicked it and it downloaded immediately

    Using the App worked like a charm

    Cannot download latest update

    Thanks for the reply. Yes, I have a good WiFi connection. It has been a couple of days. I'm trying the download through the App, which I haven't tried yet.

    Cannot download latest update

    For whatever reason, my X won't download the latest update; not that there is that much in the update, apparently, but I'm wondering why it won't update. When I access the Software Update screen, I see the update bar and it says 'Downloading in Progress;' but the bar is green all the way across...

    Blog Report: Tesla Employees Pressured to Take Shortcuts to Meet Production Goals

    I don't own a Model 3, so I can't speak to the concerns about its build quality (although we are picking one up this weekend for my wife--so we'll see). I have owned an X for six months, though, and I love it. I have absolutely no complaints about 'build quality,' although the numerous...

    When Do The Brake Lights Come On?

    I agree with you, but have no fix, unfortunately

    Model X/S hands free smart trunk and Model S power lift gate

    This would be something I'd be interested in, but I am put off by the complexity of the installation....so, I'm out.
