Photo of the piece that broke off. It's definitely hex.

Awesome post! I had this problem yesterday and was able to fix it in a couple hours by following this post. Luckily, I already had the H1.5 bit. And to think I was ready to wait 2 weeks and pay $350 to have Tesla fix it. Here's a photo of my thumb wheel with the H1.5 bit installed. Thanks!

Upon further scrutiny, I agree that distortion (static) is audible when adjusting the volume, balance, or equalizer settings during FM radio and Sirius operation (I don't have a subscription but I tested with the free channel). I haven't detected any distortion other than that. The dropout...

My 2015 Model S just took 2023.6.8 - a big jump from my previous 2023.2.12. I did a quick 30 second test. I'm happy to report the static in the FM radio appears to be gone. I don't have a Sirius XM subscription.

My 2015 Model S is up to date with 2023.2.12. Seems like 2023.6.8 is a long ways away. Maybe EU versions are different.

I'm not insisting :). Didn't you say you haven't been able to produce audio drop-out with streaming or bluetooth? From your post on Thursday, March 9th.... "i have never been able to duplicate the same issue by doing the same thing on streaming or bluetooth, and i've tried many times. they're...

I get your point and you may be right, but I still think these issues are connected. Like you, I have static on my FM radio, especially when moving the volume control. This started at the same time I noticed short drop-outs in my streaming audio sources. Dropouts are brief (maybe 200mS?) and...

The issue (at least with my car) is more than the FM radio. There are drop-outs with Spotify, Tune-In, and any Bluetooth audio - streaming audio from my phone including phone calls. In my case, the problem is always there - it never goes away, even with sitting for a long time. The FM radio...

I went to the Tesla office today to inquire about this problem. I don't think I spoke to a "Tech" so I'll call him a "Rep". He hadn't heard of this problem but after about 5 minutes looking on his computer, he confirmed that others were having this problem - static and drop-outs. He said...

I'm having this problem on my 2015 Model S. I bought it new with the high-end sound system. I have purchased all upgrades (Upgraded MCU with FM radio). Problem started last year after a FW update. Initial problem was poor response by the thumb controls on the steering wheel. Another FW...

Update: My car took FW update 2023.2.12 today. I was hoping/expecting this would address the problem. The release notes said only "Minor Update - Bug fixes". However, it did not fix this problem :(. This problem is really bad. Worse on FM radio with constant static. All other audio sources...

Same problem for me in my 2015 Model S. I have the enhanced audio option and also bought the infotainment upgrade 2 years ago, so perhaps my audio is equivalent to yours. Anyway, problem exist for all audio sources (FM, Bluetooth, Tune-In). It is much worse in the FM. Lot's of audio clicking...

I could use one of these wheels. However, I live in the Seattle area. What are my options? Thanks!

Same problem for me. Today I parked and went for a 30 minute walk. Came back and the lights were on, wipers running (raining), climate control on, and doors unlocked. 2015 model S. Definitely not the first time for me.

Is there any way to reduce the text message volume? I know I can completely disable it but it's a useful feature. My problem is that it always plays at max volume. No volume controls have any effect. In addition the discard feature blanks the text on the instrument panel but doesn't stop the...
