Just an FYI I tried adding the product to my wife's new account (got a model 3 so she had to get an account to be a driver), you jump through a bunch of hoops and it tells you that the Powerwall is already registered to someone else. Guess I still have to call Tesla to get her access to see the...

For Sale: OHMMU 12V Lithium Battery for Model S. $300. Prefer local pick-up in San Fernando Valley, California. May be willing to ship elsewhere. I had it installed for about a month before deciding to trade the car in. The battery worked great, significantly lighter than the stock battery...

Tesla did fix it. Basically the MCU seems to be the store of the odometer data, so when they install a new one they're supposed to key in the odometer of the old one, and they mistyped mine and added 35,000 extra miles or so. They reset the odometer back to the right value, but there have been a...

I am embarrassed to say I just noticed a problem with my MCU2 upgrade. Tesla doubled my odometer read... Luckily for me I have TeslaFi and can pinpoint the exact time it happened. Now to fight with them to roll back my mileage.

Final update: Dealing with Tesla Service certainly is annoying now. They text you and then don't respond back for an entire day. Even though my original invoice said they checked my tires, I asked them if they replaced my tire that was ground up by the suspension control arm breaking and the...

Yes I did. This why we have the NHTSA to help track this stuff and see if there is a larger problem. I am a bit dismayed that I don't feel Tesla is taking enough concern over these suspension issues, I should be able to drive the car normally and not worry that my wheel is going to fall into the...

Update: Car was towed to Tesla on Saturday 8/29, no acknowledgement of receipt from Tesla, nothing on Sunday, nothing on Monday so I called at 4pm and left a message, got a text message saying no one has looked at it and asking if I needed a rental (I didn't need the rental so I declined). Got a...

Figured I'd add a bit more detail about the event. I was traveling roughly 35mph in a straight line on a clear road with no discernible debris. Same road I travel every day to get to work. To get up our driveway there is a right hand turn and you cannot take it at much more than 5-10 mph...

Today making a sharp turn into my work driveway the car started making an awful grinding sound. I've read enough threads to suspect a suspension failure. Was able to limp into a parking spot, found a broken control arm (hope I have right term), and the force of the car as it was turning and...

Want to bump this because I was up at Mt Wilson tonight with my 2017 Model S to see the comet Neowise. Fob stopped working, couldn't get into the car, no trunk, no frunk, no summon. Was able to stand on a wall to get cell service, but car had no internet so Tesla app was not working. Finally...

You'd probably get more help with a less inflammatory title...

I second the Yermo stop, Eddie World is fun. But it if Yermo is full Baker has more chargers, but amenities are not nearly as nice.

I think you present a valid point and there are many more scenarios when the center cameras forward also are questionable. Another example being if there is a semi-truck in front of you the amount of lane markings in the forward direction the car can see is reduced, a curve wouldn't be...

I'm also having this problem on higher voltage chargers. My work has 240VAC chargers, which my car won't charge at all on anymore. If I got to the 208VAC chargers it will always charge.

I've been running it since I got the car in July 2017. I actually run two separate dashcams, so the "rear channel" of the 650 I have mounted on the rear of the back panel of the pano roof facing forward as an interior camera. It is very small and discreet, can see the drivers display and mcu...
