    Supercharger - Emporia, KS

    Thanks for posting this information! I’m driving from Minnesota to Austin in my S60 in early January. It would be 100 miles helpful (each way) for it to be done by then! Fingers crossed.

    2017 Model S60D - annoyances

    I was very much on the fence about buying this car, and, as I said, one incentive was that I *could* make full-use of this battery. I had no idea they would be after me to upgrade or connect to WiFi every day. (I had also informed dealer I wouldn’t be able to use WiFi, “no problem.”) Don’t they...

    2017 Model S60D - annoyances

    You’re right, it’s not every time, I was including messages about hooking up to a wi-fi network which also happens pretty often even when I am not at home. These seem to be easy software fixes for Tesla to make, and, IMO, it’s really ridiculous that they haven’t.

    2017 Model S60D - annoyances

    I do not understand why every time I get in my S 60D car, I have to respond to a charging level warning. I fully charge every time as I have a a 75kwh battery, so my understanding is that I am in no danger of overcharging issues. Indeed, that was one reason I purchased this model. So why isn’t...

    Out of curiosity, what do you hate about your Tesla?

    Thanks. I don’t use recirculate at all just because of that. I do usually have a big dog (or two, occasionally) in back - does mouth breathing add that much humidity? I’ve never had problems like this with other cars so it’s a bit strange.

    Out of curiosity, what do you hate about your Tesla?

    Automatically turning back on the sound system is worse when you are listening to a podcast. I almost always have something in the backseat, and I pause the podcast, but it turns back on when I open the back door. I end up having to dig out my phone and go back a minute or so next time I listen...

    Adaptive Cruise Control (TACC) Annoyance

    Is your car new? You might want to talk to dealer about this.

    Adaptive Cruise Control (TACC) Annoyance

    I've thought about doing that and I'm glad it works ok.

    Adaptive Cruise Control (TACC) Annoyance

    kutkuzak- that's scary. Sometime around when I first got my car in January, mine suddenly slowed a couple of times when driving on a Sunday in the express lane. No cars in front, an unfortunate pickup in back. Second time I did it he pulled out of the lane and passed me rapidly in an...

    Adaptive Cruise Control (TACC) Annoyance

    Thanks for additional comments. Hacker, your post motivated me to try to understand things a little more. This was interesting from Tesla: Upgrading Autopilot: Seeing the World in Radar. Interesting, lots to learn and think about.

    Adaptive Cruise Control (TACC) Annoyance

    Partial solve! I hadn't used my car since March (leg break) and just started using it again this month. I realized I hadn't checked the distance between cars setting, and when I did saw it had gotten set to a 1. I've reset this at 6 which I'm sure will help.

    Adaptive Cruise Control (TACC) Annoyance

    Glad I'm not alone in noticing this, RLC3, thanks. I've scared passengers with this behavior, and worry that a car in another lane won't be expecting my speed and will cut in front of me, so I usually break before TACC does.

    Adaptive Cruise Control (TACC) Annoyance

    Thanks, Hacer. I'm probably about to show how clueless I am, but shouldn't the radar bounce back off of some hard object stopped ahead in my lane, therefore my car should stop?

    Adaptive Cruise Control (TACC) Annoyance

    Thanks for the info, kdday. So 160m is 1/10 mile or maybe approximately a city block. Boy, it seems like I'm within that zone when this happens, especially on the side roads. I'll pay more attentions to see if my radar is malfunctioning.
