Slightly oversized for 24 miles commuting, so there is obviously "no reason in the reasoning" except making yourself a big pleasure... to cut a long story short :confused: Welcome to the club though :cool:

Then you are luckier in the US than I am as, apparently, these UV devices did not reach the Tesla SC in Belgium yet. So, for the moment, we are left with the problem as far as I know. To get an official answer, I will request a repair through the smartphone application with some pictures of my...

My reseller just told me that this problem is occuring almost systematically on the "new generation" screens. The previous ones (first generation were "all" breaking at some point and needed replacement - this is my case). So now it is supposed to be "better" but it suffers from this yellowing...

Thanks for this great feedback. I'll take a look at your video ;) Responding to ucladukes, I am not totally sure about USA as I'm located in Europe but I purchased my second hand Model S in a (specialised) non-official Tesla dealer and the reflexion + purchase process was really smooth and...

It must depend on the exact characteristics of the UV itself as well. Duration of treatment is a parameter too for sure. I don't think that cold temperature has an effect, on the contrary I would say. I guess that high temperatures are more critical for this phenomenon to appear, at least was...

Very positive story to all regards indeed. Thanks for sharing this positive attitude with us, so rare nowadays. All the best to you and your dream car.

After the first parking time in plain sun yesterday, I noticed the yellowing appearing on my Model S central screen :eek: Could this disappear when it will cool down, or is it now there "forever"? Being in Europe, I would have to check for a UV lamp available here...Maybe in DIY shop.

I tried the same reboot to get the update but this apparently did not solve the issue. Just after one or two more attempts, all of a sudden, the download went beyond the critical first 10% and the install process happened successfully. But then I noticed that I had lost my data connectivity. A...

Just the 2 scroll buttons and I recovered LTE connectivity

After several attempts, I finally managed to go through the full process. Lost connectivity after install but a reboot solved the problem. Didi not try the USB yet but unsure if this is available on my model anyway.

Update done after a few unsuccessfull attempts. For an "old" model like mine, just some minor bug correction and display of the SUC stalls out of order. Can somebody tell me if USB music is available for my version? I did try in the past but no USB icon in sight...

Caught in the update loop for the moment as well... :mad:

Interesting o_O

It seems a bit contradictory to purchase a Tesla and then complaint about the changes brought by the manufacturer updates. This is one of the main characteristics of this brand, right? I am not sure what this death rattle exactly is. For sure you won't get it in a Prius :p

That's a nice approach to pick the convenient locations for a stop rather than "just" stopping for charge. Of course this comes with the distances and variety of locations offered in the US. Being in Europe, this is not so easy and you rather go by obligation (trip planning) than by...
