False alarm. The MCU did not die. The car was in deep sleep and while the drive electronics booted up after 3 or 4 minutes, the MCU remained dead for at least 10 minutes, when I got tired of waiting and left. Some time after that I saw the phone app re-established a connection with the car and...

My 2013 model S has been garaged and plugged in for a month. It went into deep sleep (I assume) Upon my return I got the car to slowly boot up systems but the center console isn't coming on. The car will go into gear and out. The dashboard screen seems to be working properly (but nothing...

My model S has been at Mercedes of Manhattan for 6 weeks for a crunched rear quarter panel. Tesla will not give the repair shop any ETA on parts. I just left a message in my account at Tesla.com but this thread (and others) is pretty discouraging.

Most distressing. Not how I wanted to start my getaway for the 4th.

The update (last weekend for me) seems to have fixed it. Drove for 90 minutes with no reboots. Previously, it was every 10-15 minutes on my 2013 P85+

The link on that page got me a 404 error at dropbox the other day. Today I just get a spinner on the page. The "Download" button does download an archive of oldversions up to 0.28.

Is there anyplace to download visible tesla any more? My version is ancient 0.28. I started down the rabbit hole of building from sources and I'm getting a bit frustrated. Thanks.

I was just told my 2013 85kwh battery would be sent back to refurbish. Less than 20k mile on the car, too.

With flat metering (as I have) it the powerwall doesn't make sense other than short term backup. With current off-peak electricity pricing it doesn't make sense either. Off-peak these days means lower pricing only at night. BUT, I suspect as grid-tied solar starts to create more of a headache...

I will be moving from NJ to Manhattan. Figuring out the charging situation for my Tesla in a public garage seems daunting - a far cry from just rolling into my garage and plugging it in. I will probably buy another car (a used beater) and let the attendants have at it.

Well, thumb drives are not that heavy to carry, you know.:tongue: Seriously, the pain is deciding/managing what to load on the limited drive. The way around that is to use a USB hard drive that has whatever capacity you need to hold your entire library and sync it only occasionally. The...

Don't know whether a software update broke this but.... Navigation on the Navigon screen works as before. Navigation stats and turn list appear on the Google Maps screen as before, Route highlight on the Google maps screen has disappeared. The map looks like it does when navigation is not...

I've had a couple people in NJ point out that I'm driving a "banned" car. I tell them "now I'm a rebel" which gets a laugh.

You should have put "joke" in the subject line.

Right. The binding constraint was getting enough charge for the return trip in the time I would be spending in meetings. I could have driven my normal 75-80 if I had been willing to hang out for an extra hour of charging before starting on the return journey.
