Since the latest software update, my "max speed" on autopilot is randomly changing (both down AND up) when driving on the highway where the speed should of course be fixed. This is happening again and again on the same drive. I was on the LIE today (55MPH, no construction etc) and the set...

Ordered the Orvis hammock, will try some door protectors from Amazon. Also I was quoted $2K from Tesla to repair the seat!

Did you go to a shop that specializes in auto upholstery or a regular body shop?

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. Upholstery repair may be the best bet but i will open a service ticket to see what they say. Thanks for the info on the Tesla Rear Seat Hammock, will look at others. If anyone has any recommendations would love to check them out.

My new 13 week old puppy Milo (photo attached) managed to teethe on the backseat of my 2021 S LR (photo attached). Sh*t happens, and we will protect the seats going forward of course, but what’s the best approach to repair? I hear that Tesla will only replace the entire back seat (?) which is...

Wondering if anyone can help me figure out how the Recents and Favorites work? I have TuneIn, Spotify and Tidal accounts and use them all with my S LR. It seems like it's pulling recents and favorites from the apps as well as from what I'm playing in the car. Is there any way to separate what...

Ha! Car Wash mode added to last night’s update!

Unfortunately, the wash I use, nobody rides through with the car. So when I went last week, the attendant did go through with the car (and I think it was fine on (H) but is there a setting that lets it go through with NOBODY in the car? Is that where you might use Tow Mode?

What about leaving it in Neutral? Or will that not work if you have to get out of the car?

What about car washes where you don't sit in the car? Where it's pulled through with no driver? Then there is no seatbelt engaged?

Putting aside that it’s not recommended to use a car wash with a Tesla, i read on another post that there is no car wash mode on the Model S LR. So what are the appropriate settings to use when putting your car into a car wash? Do you have to manually put it in neutral and hold it? Leave the...

Same thing happened to me…. First charge was last night, today is goes up to 403 on the slider. Nice seeing the # start with a 4 :). Also I think i got the heated steering wheel last night .

Thanks for that info. It's a brand new car and haven't charged it once yet (but plan on doing so tonight). While I know not to charge it to 100% maybe that makes sense for a first charge?

Apologies if this is answered elsewhere (I did look)... as everyone knows, the Model S LR is rated for 405 miles, but when I slide the charging % slider on the app on my brand new S LR to 100% (I would not charge to 100% but was just playing with the app), its says the car will only go 397...

VIN! Finally. 11/27-12/1 delivery, NYC
