    New UI for pre-refreshed model S? Holiday update

    Press the microphone button on the steering wheel and say HO HO HO. The car in the driver screen should change to Santa in his sleigh. The other cars should now be reindeer. Works in my early 2016 model S. This was not just added, it's been there for years.

    ATT 3G Service Planned Shutdown

    Ford upgraded my 2013 Fusion Energi from 2G to 3G for free. I traded it in on a 2021 Mustang Mach-E so I don't know what they will do when 3G goes away.

    Correct PSI for my new tires?

    21" rims are 42 psi. 19" rims are 45 psi. The sticker on the door jamb reflects the wheels/tires that were delivered with the car.

    Can the app wake an MS without Internet?

    The car has a phone number. The server calls the phone number to initiate contact. If the car can set up a WiFi connection it will switch the connection to WiFi. If the car is sleeping there is no WiFi connection. Only an incoming phone call can wake it up.

    Charhing and driving (Tesla Model S, 09/2014)

    The 12 volt battery is used to pull in the contactors that connect the high voltage battery to the car. If the 12 volt battery is dead you probably need a new 12 volt battery. Is the high voltage battery charged? It is used to keep the 12 volt battery charged.

    I've been using the lug nuts that came with my Rial Lugano 19" wheels for several years. My winter tires are on them so they are on the car from mid November to late March.

    What is MCU? I have a 2017 Model S with FSD. Tesla recently installed the new chip per the recall. Is the new chip the MSU?

    The recall replaces an 8 GB memory chip with a 64 GB memory chip.

    380 WH/MI

    At 82 mph your WH/MI will be high. Air drag increases with the square of the speed. It takes energy to push the air out of the way. The triangle means the battery is cold. That also means that energy from the battery is being used to heat the battery. Is the cabin heater on? Energy used to...

    Newbie questions

    1. What browser are you using? I have had many problems with the Tesla website using the Firefox browser. 2. The car went to sleep and it takes a while for it to wake up and restart all of the microprocessors.

    Extension cord with mobile charger using 240v 14-30

    The warning is because the extension cords most people have laying around uses 16 gauge wire. A 50 amp cord would need to use 6 gauge wire. A 30 amp cord would work with 10 gauge wire although I would use 8 gauge wire for a lower voltage drop. Energy used to heat the cord is not going to go...

    Periodic Loss of Sirius/XM After MCU2 Upgrade and 12V Replacement

    I'm on 2021.36.5.1 ans still have the problem.

    Periodic Loss of Sirius/XM After MCU2 Upgrade and 12V Replacement

    It's extremely annoying but it does come back on its own without rebooting. I think it needs to see a strong XM signal before it comes back. That's not possible in my garage.
