my MCU failed last week. service center said the part was backordered; just got an update that a new one is now in stock and they expect to install it tomorrow. will update with any other details i find. but i should say, it is concerning to have it fail after just 3 years of ownership.

i'll pick 11/8, as it's the earliest date that doesn't look taken yet =) hope i did this right!

60 owner here - in june, i noticed that after five months of getting charged to 177 RM, without having changed the slider it now stops at 176, 175, and once last week 172. have recently been driving it farther and emptying the "tank" a lot deeper... wonder if that is making a difference.

my last car (an Audi TT) had low-profile tires, and it was incredible (and awful) how often there would be tire damage that required a brand new tire. sidewall blowouts, or punctures that led to sidewall damage... ugh. when i got my Model S i went for 19" tires -- just like OP, my motto on...

stopped at this Supercharger recently, after midnight so the mall was closed. but there's a gas station in the mall about a two-minute drive away in case you need bathrooms / snacks. also fun note - though the mall was closed, the fake "city streets" of the mall still had music playing, which...

stopped at this SC a few weeks ago for a top-off pretty late, around 1am. the place is kind of desolate at night; the mcdonald's was closed, the mall was closed, so plan ahead if you won't feel particularly safe just hanging around an empty parking lot in the middle of nowhere. there is a gas...

agreed - had been off the boards for a few days, came back and actually expected a Powerwall sub to already exist. would make sense to have one.

that email is the one specific thing that left me irritated after the 70D announcement (i bought a 60 in December). the company told us there would be specifically no major updates to the Model S for about a year -- and 100 days later, they introduced a better car for only slightly more. i...

just got today's software update notification for my 60. hooray for not being entirely obsolete!

in los angeles - still getting some waves. a quick headlight-flash is more common though.

got 6.2 on sunday, had a couple days now to play with it. you guys have already said a lot but here's two things that i'd like to share: charger-aware navigation - seems super helpful. i entered a destination, and it told me to stop at two Superchargers, one for 20 mins, one for 15 mins...

i went black headliner w grey interior, and it looks pretty badass. thanks to TMC forums i found out that the regular headliner would not have matched the grey interior - i'd have been really unhappy with it that way, so i'm double thrilled with the black. i don't find it at all...

that's a really good reading of the exact quote. looking forward to release notes, but now i'm thinking you're right.

ha not sure you need therapy - i think it's a valid concern. my Collision Avoidance doesn't beep at me very often, but i'd say 90% of them are false positives. sometimes triggers in parking structures going about 8mph with no moving vehicles nearby. sometimes triggers on the road when a car...

i picked mine up there on 12/30. was a good experience - though it was RAINING so of course the shiny new car didn't stay shiny for long. the people were friendly and there was definitely a sense of ceremony / "big reveal" to be picking it up. we went over all the paperwork first, which took...
