There's a new SC in Rochester (Google Maps). There was to be one at the Gigafactory 2 in South Buffalo but the NYS killed it. The Mobile service is great, Tesla has been working toward mobile as a default. I've only had two issues in 3 years, door handle didn't present and the Takata airbag...

I had Mobile Service do a tire rotation a few weeks ago. I was surprised he didn't use pucks, just a standard floor jack. I ask about pucks and he said they're not necessary. I didn't think to ask if he actually had them in the truck or if they're for special situations. For rotation, he simply...

Wow, I'm really slow, sorry I didn't reply sooner. Bottom line, the car didn't communicate because the MCU crashed. Two finger reboot and all's well. I'm surprised no one mentioned that, I posted in a couple of forums. As I recall, even Tesla Support didn't suggest it.

AP3 (4), second Radar.

Elon Tweets are unclear. Is AP2+ actually 2.0+? Additional Radar is conjecture at this point - Tesla reveals new self-driving Autopilot hardware 3.0 computer diagram ahead of launch.

Two-year-old Model S. I purchased FSD initially (3K). Fortunately, I didn't lease because I'm still waiting for any tidbit of FSD. I've just begun noticing I'm being left behind with AP2.0. First was dashcam and now Sentry mode, only for AP2.5. I'm hoping AP3.0 Computer swap will bring them back...

Thanks. I updated my Preferences. It is odd that it's not default. All those "Automatically watch...." and you have to check to be notified. So who's watching, and for what? Glad your situation resolved. Will let you know what I find in a few weeks. Happy Holidays.

Sorry I missed your post for so long. Is there's a way to be notified of activity on a thread you're following? No resolution for me yet. I won't be back for a few more weeks. How did your situation turn out? I do have folks in Florida that have a key. But, frankly, it's a 55+ community and...

2016 Refresh model after Oct (8 cameras, etc) will get have computer upgrade available next year, fully supporting FSD. Obviously, that will hold value. Even better if FSD was purchased with the car (assume it stays with the vehicle), the upgrade will be free.

I left my Model S in Florida garage two days ago. I'm in NY until January. I thought I left it plugged in, with 50% charge limit, at 20A. However, it's not communicating now. The app thinks it's communicating but it's not. It shows an empty battery with ---% (Dashboard app says "Not Charging")...

Pretty silly toy. But I found it useful cleaning the wheels. Hard to see dirt in the spokes. A quick move for half a turn, wheel by wheel, solves that issue.

Not sure I understand. I've used Taxact for years. I never needed help. What a surprise. Taxact failed last month and I found the IRS instructions said: "DRAFT until March 1st". I tried again today and wasted hours on Taxact. They say Chat or Call. There is no chat! Really, there's no...

For what it's worth, I decided to buy since I was getting the 8 cameras, sensors, and computer of the post-Oct 2016 (AP2). Although updates have been slow coming, I still think it was a good choice since I have free supercharging as long as I own it and, I assume, since I paid up front, I'll...

I got that msg on and off for weeks. I kind of ignored it because the door worked fine, just seemed to be the sensor not reading correctly (says open when it was closed, etc). Finally, it started adding the annoying warning audio beep. I called in. It took about 3 weeks to get the part and then...
