    MyQ opens my closed garage door when pulling away

    Do you have either of these boxes checked in the Homelink settings? I unchecked both because my S would sometimes open or close the garage door when I did not want it to.

    2020 model s lock sound

    My December 2019 is the same. I think it has to be newer to have that feature (but I'd like to be proven wrong). BTW, it helps to include the month and year of manufacture when posting about your car. Tesla does not do model years like other cars so features on a Tesla made in, say, July may...

    Has anyone received holiday update on Model S Refresh?

    Try not to feel too bad. My December 2016 is still on 2022.8.10.15. (Yep, 2022!)

    Vegan leather?

    Maybe because there are folks like me that, before reading your post, had never heard of "Pleather" but do know what is meant by vegan-leather. Seems like good marketing to me.

    Virgin Galactic

    I'm fortunate enough to be able to possibly afford it in another year or so. But one thing has me looking at Blue Origin is altitude. Looking at a release on the flight it reads "The flight takes customers past an altitude of 80 kilometers, or about 262,000 feet, which is what the U.S...

    Tesla Delivery experience lacking in customer service

    I'm always saddened when I hear stories like this. When I got my first S back in 2015 is was a much different world. It was still illegal to sell Teslas here in Utah so not many were being sold (everything other than delivery had to be done with folks in California). So when mine arrived...

    Does the vertical screen Model S have carwash mode?

    I've not found it on either of my Ss (December 2016 and December 2019). I just fold the mirrors in and, turn the wipers off and put the car in neutral. I've not had a problem with the charge port opening.

    2017 Model S P100D Still no update??? (2022.44.30)

    You are not alone. :) My December 2016 S has been on 2022.8.10.10 since January. Prepaid FSD. New cameras and hardware 3 computer recently installed. And my December 2019 that came with hardware 3 and prepaid FSD has been on 2022.45.15 for a month. The longest I've gone between updates is 103...

    FSD score being affected by Auto Pilots hard braking

    I agree. It's never going to improve if people don't use it. We are all beta testers, after all, so we are the ones who make it better.

    Fit 4 19s with tires in back?

    I've done it several times in my Ss. Yes, seats do need to be folded down. Just make sure you don't stop too quickly or they will join you in the front seat. :)
