    Firmware 5.0

    Wi-Fi and Tethering in Version 5.0 Perhaps this is old news but thought I'd share: Turned in Model S for annual maintenance at 11.5k miles today. Dallas service center. They gave me a Performance Plus loaner with 300 miles on it and Version 5.0. Front and rear sensors works great and...

    Negative Camber in the Rear and Expensive Tires

    I also would like to know if Tesla will pay for this. My Sig Performance has same wear pattern (with steel threads showing) at 9000 miles.

    Bad experience with flood waters

    For future reference and prevention: what is the maximum number of inches of water that can be driven through safely in the Model S according to Tesla and assuming air suspension is set to high?

    Major accident for me tonight (5/26) (New P85 arrives 7/8)

    GasDoc, 1) Thank you for sharing your story and pictures - from a fellow gas doc myself. 2) Am glad to hear you and your family are fine. 3) Will be watching out and trying to drive more defensively thanks to your story. 4) Will probably be setting up a will for my own family again thanks...

    Help me decide - Model S P85 or pre-owned BMW M5 (new F10)

    I'm biased but: HUD is over-rated; a 17" LCD and 12" LCD instrument panel is way cooler Range in model is fine; sometimes I forget to plug in at night. Model S can go on the track too (I haven't). Model S is faster 0-100; see youtube. Model S has Luxury items also: push a button, ask for any...

    Using Pandora in your Model S

    I used to think Pandora was better until I tried Slacker with the Model S: 1) Slacker has 8M songs to Pandora's ~1M 2) Slacker (paid version) allows for unlimited skips unlike Pandora (paid version). 3) Slacker plays any song you search for immediately. With Pandora, you have to be lucky...

    swegman: Car won't turn on (screens are dark)

    Very sorry to hear this. This is a worst case scenario or close to it. Thanks for sharing. 1) Keep the faith. We all rolled the dice buying this car and it could've (and still could) happen to any one of us. For example, I haven't sold my Prius yet so I can keep it around just in case your...

    Things you may not have discovered about your Model S?!

    I applied the adhesive part of the toll tag on the medial, interior aspect of the removable nose cone cover. B/c the toll tag is taller than the nose cone cover, I didn't remove the entire adhesive backing from the toll tag; I left about 1/3 of the adhesive backing on the toll tag. If it...

    Things you may not have discovered about your Model S?!

    Been mentioned before elsewhere on this forum but should belong in this thread too: Signature Model S (I'm not sure about non-signature version) have a small compartment in the nosecone to hide contraband or access the 12v battery. I'm using this secret space to put my TollTag (instead of my...

    Bad UMC: Model S not charging

    Tesla service guy did remote diagnostics and said that I had a bad UMC. However, the UMCs are all on back order. Actually, no, the term he used was "shortage". I must now wait for a new UMC to arrive. Hopefully this is the end of this story. Apparently, several other users are experiencing...

    Bad UMC: Model S not charging

    So here's what happened: After leaving to work yesterday in AM, I look at the color around the charge port. It is white with the charging cable plugged in. I go to remove the charging cable. Upon touching it or pressing the button (I can't remember which), I hear the locking sound and the...

    Bad UMC: Model S not charging

    Thanks for mentioning the fuse numbers. This helps a lot. However, I will call Tesla service first and follow up with the results in this forum.

    Bad UMC: Model S not charging

    I've removed and re-inserted the charging cable excessively in frustration already (about 20x in rapid succession). - - - Updated - - - I tried at a regular 120v outlet with same result. I've also flipped the breakers on/off on my 240v outlet (they were not originally tripped). Hmmm...

    Bad UMC: Model S not charging

    After commenting just 20 min ago how much I enjoy the Model S, I came home this evening, plugged in Model S and then: 1) Model S locked the charging cable to the car and wouldn't release and wasn't charging 2) Somehow, I got it to release the charging cable (via Open Charge Port, pushing the...
