Just out of curiosity - for those that went from a P100D to Plaid, was there a significant change in your insurance premiums? I'm wondering how the insurance companies are going to react to the raw power of the Plaid.

I have had the exact same issue. Dec 2016 P100D. Autopilot isn't even usable for 15 seconds, though. The car immediately begins to slow down when I engage TACC or Autosteer. There have been a couple of instances where it will engage, work for a few seconds and then gradually slow down 10+...

Glad I found this thread! Same thing happened to me last week. I was convinced something had failed or that I had something wrong with my front driver's side tire, but something told me to reboot the MCU and main screen, and indeed, the noise went away. It really did sound like it was...

This was happening to me as well! I assumed I was somehow inadvertently hitting the widget on my phone when I was swiping between screens, but I've had the car for over a year and never accidentally enabled climate control before, so I doubt that was it. I have never had smart preconditioning...

My average is close to 390, and usually climbs to >400 in the winter. The lowest I've ever seen is 378. I do have a P100D, but the culprit in my case is elevation. I live at about 1000 ft above sea level, and my work and most of my outside-of-home life is lower at 100 or so ft. The final mile...

I would be shocked if Tesla does a significant update to the interior of the S/X in the near future. The only reason I say that is that we are close to the introduction of the Model 3, and Tesla can't afford any extra issues with the S. None. Tesla has spent several years getting the Model S...

I'm in Oregon, and I got it yesterday morning. I did a lot of driving during the day, and while local roads appear better and it is nice not having the speed restriction, I had to quickly take over twice on the highway, both times in places where I have previously not had problems. While I...

My favorite is the portable, toaster-sized charger that recharges the entire battery in 20 minutes... :)

It used to happen to me every single time I got in the car, but after one of the more recent FW updates, the error is rare and seemingly happens at random. Usually, if I immediately get out of the car, shut the door, and then get back in and restart, I am back in business...

Thanks @JohnnyG ! With my prior comment, I meant to say that the power threshold to go from only 2 wheels driven (one motor active) to all 4 wheels being driven (both motors active) was higher in Range Mode. I probably shouldn't have used the term "wake up." :)

Wow! I didn't know there were others with seat heating issues. I really couldn't find much here or elsewhere online about it... And I haven't received the "countergate" update yet either, lol. I know Brooks from Dragtimes got the update, but he has an early, AP1 P100D, so I am wondering if...

I did snap one single picture yesterday. You can see from this screen that the rear motor is sleeping at 65mph, as the power requirement is quite low. I honestly can't remember if the car was in range mode or not for this picture. My car is in service today (weird seat heater issue), and so...

Unfortunately, you have to engage the Ludicrous+ easter egg AND wait for the battery to fully heat up before this screen appears, so for now, this screen is only available on P100DL models.

I was at a supercharger this evening, and I decided to try Ludicrous + mode (since supercharging would heat up the battery anyway). I haven't had a prior opportunity to wait an hour for the battery to heat up, so I haven't really used it before. After I left the SC, I had a significant amount...

I just want to know what happens if there is a catastrophic hardware failure while the vehicle is in autonomous mode. Does anyone know of any instances where AP1 hardware suddenly failed during autopilot use? I think that the AP2 hardware may have full autonomous capability, but the...
