I feel like an update is in order! I skipped the tender and I was able to jump my MS and get the display on, disconnected from the wall, and into tow mode. The car was towed to Tesla and the diagnosis was: Diagnosed and Replaced HV Battery, 12v Auxiliary Battery removed and replaced. verified...

Updating the thread... I did finally get the 12V to wake up long enough to disconnect the house power and disable 'walk away lock' so i don't have to jump it again when the tow comes tomorrow.

Hello, thanks for the reply. I was able to get into the nosecone but did not have success jumping. My first attempt I plugged a battery tender into the wall, and started hearing a 'clicking' sound, and that freaked me out, so I unplugged it. Here's a clip, I'm wondering if this is bad or if I...

I got back from a three week vacation, during which time my MS was garaged, plugged in, and locked. It will not wake up, nor will it even unlock if I put the keyfob in the manual location on the passenger side windshield. In the app, it said "last seen 7 days ago" and at that time the charge was...

Edit: I found a few posts saying the 12V battery could be the problem, but also ones saying it's the HV pack, which would be under warranty. The quote comes from a "remote diagnosis" and an estimated 1hr of on site diagnosis.

So, this seemed 'off' to me, and as a result I wanted to post. My car stopped charging suddenly over the weekend and I had all sorts of alerts about low voltage, a bunch of "BMS" (battery management we all know) fault codes, and the car would not start. It seemed to recover about 15 minutes...

I apprciate Barry's comment about the storage of the presets. I noticed that after an August software update, they reversed themselves again so I wanted to post an update to see if anyone else has thoughts?

When I stored my radio presets they ended up in reverse order because, well that's just how they store. I finally went in and reordered them to the way I like them, and they reverted. So I deleted them all and reset with the scroll wheels, and added them after the reboot. That worked for less...

I'm in a different boat. I agree about wanting not to skimp but I need an all-season option, and this is all I'm finding for the 245/35/21 range. What would you or someone else recommend if not these?

Thread necromancy! It's now 2019 but I've moved from Phoenix to Seattle so it's my first foray in having to avoid summer tires. I'm due for tires and the timing is good with the weather changes. I'm actually not staggered, 245/35/21 all around, but the only all-season I see are a brand I've...

Hey all, My job is moving me up to the Seattle area from the Phoenix area. Here in AZ, owing an EV comes with some serious incentives: vehicle license tax (similar to the RTA excise) is only $30-$50 a year instead of depreciation based, and also access to HOV lanes when solo -- similar to CA's...

Back in 2016 I bought my car as "new" with 40000mi on it. I was told it was demo fleet but presets and someone's Bluetooth settings were in mine too. Until it's sold they can use it as a loaner car (or maybe even a sales manager). With even a few days in a loaner or rental car I'll set up my...

Has anyone else been suffering this annoyance? I'm on an AP1 (2014 build) car and when V9 installed my presets were reversed. Not in a numerical order, or random but P6,5,4,3,2,1 instead of P1, 2,3,4,5,6. At first I shrugged it off as 8 to 9 was a major update to the media player and I could...

I want to scream at Tesla for having a "Smartphone" mentality when it comes to UI. As an avionics s/w engineer, we try to avoid major changes unless there's a darn good reason - and good reasons don't include "Clean lines", or "Unification across product families". Easy to reach and press...

Who asked for the mirrors to auto-unfold when the handles present, instead of when the doors were opened? That came up earlier this year and is awful.
