    XM Possibilities with MCU Upgrade

    I was told they add the antenna to the lift gate arms. I haven’t checked with the service center yet about my “new” antenna

    XM Possibilities with MCU Upgrade

    Any update? My XM preview channel doesn’t work either

    21” Arachnid Referral Tires Advice Needed

    You were smarter than the service center that rotated my arachnids front to back ... definitely caused some issues for me. I actually have 2 sets of arachnids but went back to the 19”s because of tire costs and the 21”s don’t last that long. So yes staggered is normal. I found they had way...

    Wiki Consolidated eMMC Thread (MCU repair) (Black Center Screen)

    Yes. Same thing happened to me with my first MCU1 replacement. OTA fix is possible. I tried checking everything before I left the service center but that one was missed by me. You’d think Tesla service would have a checklist to catch things like this ...

    XM Possibilities with MCU Upgrade

    My car is in the shop due to 2nd MCU1 screen failure so now I‘ve decided to get the MCU2 with the radio option. I too don’t have the sunroof (which means my car didn’t come with an XM antenna) but I’ve been told by the service center the XM antenna for the new MCU2 and radio is built into the...

    MCU upgrade question; is it possible to add XM?

    My car is in the shop due to 2nd MCU1 screen failure so now I‘ve decided to get the MCU2 with the radio option. I too don’t have the sunroof (which means my car didn’t come with an XM antenna) but I’ve been told the XM antenna for the new MCU2 and radio is built into the unit and doesn’t require...

    I’ve reported this issue to service and tech support, hopefully they’ll eventually write a software fix

    2015 MS 70D Odd Tire Wear Pattern

    When was the last time you had your alignment checked? I have the same car with coil suspension, I’m on my 4th set of tires with over 107k miles. I’ve had both 19” and 21” tires ... I’m back on the 19s after 2 sets with the 21s ... I recall the rear tires generally wearing out faster than the...

    24.6.11 HD Audio Playback via USB Stick - Loading Error FLAC

    I have 2 usb sticks with audio files and I’ve noticed the buggy update doesn’t show the name I have for each stick which makes it harder to find the songs I want to listen to ... years ago I was at a lunch at the Fremont factory where a question was asked about the media player and audio files...

    What firmware does your car have? Perhaps they fixed it on the firmware your car was delivered with ...

    Navigation won't work. Says "Service required"

    I got the same message after my mcu was replaced but it came back after my car went to sleep (I did a regular scroll wheel reboot). I wasn’t aware Before but a “full reboot” requires you to power off the car (in the service menu) and then sit still in the car for 2+ minutes, then hit the brake...

    Automatic Emergency Braking Slams on Brakes Often

    I was recently in for service and the technician told me that the maps and nav was completely a google product so the maps should be as accurate as what google has online. I have AP1 and it seems that whatever speed the camera reads supersedes what is listed on the map database. If you have the...

    Automatic Emergency Braking Slams on Brakes Often

    Best suggestion is to not use autopilot on undivided roads. A Tesla driver was killed (wasn’t paying attention) in a similar situation on autopilot so it sounds like they’ve over compensated for that scenario.

    24.6.11 HD Audio Playback via USB Stick - Loading Error FLAC

    I just got a new MCU and I thought they somehow changed the hardware that prevents high res audio playback. I guess I’m glad it’s a software thing. The media player has been the greatest disappointment with my Tesla.

    +1 availabel for Cybertruck event

    Like the “race the Tesla Semi” prize that I won (with many others) that doesn’t seem like it will ever happen either ... I kinda fell off the referral game after all the mishaps with prizes, but I still love the cars and will recommend them to everyone
