    Sell my S and buy a Y?

    I've had the same thoughts recently with my 2017 Model S 90D. The feature you give up completely is air suspension. Model Y is coil suspension only. I have become fond of increasing clearance on bumpy roads and poorly done transition situations. Everything else is attractive on the Y -- haven't...

    Fogged side camera service, found old parts

    i developed the pillar camera obscured or blinded phenomenon just a few weeks ago in coastal Oregon; it started happening on days even without rain - sun shining. I remotely turned on climate control, setting temperature to 80 degrees - after four hours the heating was stopped by the car and I...

    Rear-ended @ 70+ mph in my Model S

    This is a case for an addition to collision avoidance software -- when rear end collision threat becomes apparent, have car accelerate forward or swerve to avoid if way is clear to do so. I hope Elon is following.

    Software Update 2018.39.5 a1c2332 (first 9.0 release)

I really don't like losing functions I was used to. I wish Tesla would quit trying to imitate Apple; adding useless adornments in...

    Jack Mode at startup

    Almost three months into ownership of 2017 MS 90D. Suspension found to be in Jack mode after leaving car in parking lot of State Park on coast in Oregon on 8/21/17 for two hours. Happened again next morning, then stopped through 8/23/17. Had to press and hold Jack button on screen to revert to...

    TACC & Slowdown due to Car Ahead Changing Lane

    The sudden slowing phenomenon when a car in front has turned right and left the lane is repetitive -- part of an algorithm that may cause an accident if someone following can't slow down in time -- the following car driver sees no reason for the slow down. This is something that should be...
