I just got the Toyo Proxes Sport A/S tires on my 2017 P100D Model S with square 245 x 21” wheels. Love them so far. I had cheap Nankangs before and they only lasted 1 yr. Much quieter and a much smoother ride so far. Highly recommend.

Center console USB ports won't work (I think they forgot to plug them in) and I can't sign in to YouTube because I get a "insecure browser" warning. Other than that it's working great.

Since completing it would have required driving in every one of my neighbors' yards, I deferred to opportunity.

Tesla has included rendered trash bins in their visualizations with the MCU2 upgrade. Seems kind of silly. Today was trash day and my center display looked like a slalom course.

I spent some time on Tesla's website today figuring out how to get to their chat support. Here is the link and the specific paths to get to chat support through the Tesla website: Link: Tesla SSO - Sign In You can get to the chat feature from any of the following submenus if you click "Yes"...

You can also get to the chat from the following submenus if you click "Yes" you need more help: "Tesla Service & Repair" --> "Schedule or modify service..." and "Question about upcoming service" "Vehicle & App Features" --> All submenus go to chat if you click "Yes" you need more help...

Here's the link: Tesla SSO - Sign In You have to select "Vehicle Apps and Features" from the first menu Select any option from the second menu and click "submit" Then click "Yes" when asked "Do you need more help". You will next type a subject for your chat and you will be forwarded to the...

If you go to Tesla support and get to their chat feature complaining about the small font size, the comments will be escalated to engineering. The chat rep said they are getting lots of complaints about it, so hopefully a fix will be forthcoming. Also, it makes no sense to move the gear...

Neither of the USB ports in the center console of my 2017 Model S are working after I got the MCU2/SXM upgrade yesterday. The rear-facing console ports and a USB adapter plugged into the cigarette lighter will also charge. Is this a common problem?

I just moved my appointment from Nashville to St. Louis because I was told they could do both the MCU2 and radio upgrades at the same appointment.

Now the SvC says that the SXM radio upgrade won’t be available for another few months? I thought it was already being done.

Trying to negotiate with SvC in Nashville regarding repairing my failing eMMC (2017 P100D) vs. the MCU2 upgrade. No discount. I asked them to do the MCU1 eMMC warranty repair followed by the MCU2 upgrade w/ SXM ($3000) and they want an extra $750 as a "core charge" to give me the MCU1 unit...

I think it still uses the SXM tuner, since the service cuts out when I pull in my garage.

I was surprised to see a significant upgrade to the Sirius XM interface in the latest software update for my 2017 Model S. I thought Tesla was phasing out SXM with the MCU 2 upgrades... Seems weird unless they have finally heard customer's disappointment with losing this functionality and are...

I agree, but we will have to see how "fully functional" FSD is in MCU1 cars when it is finally released. My hunch is that they are not being fully transparent about what's going on.
