    Charging battery properly

    Depending on where you are in California you should sign up for a “Time of Use” electrical rate plan with your utility. I am in a Southern California Edison area and they have a plan where rates are lower during lower usage times of day. It can be substantially cheaper to defer charging until...

    Anybody else that hasn't gotten the prompt to upgrade to UWB for the phone key yet?

    Thanks terranx but my 2024.8.9 release notes seem to have skipped the 2024.8.7 section. There is no mention of UWB as others have shown: BUT - about 15 minutes after the update finished I got a notification on my phone to upgrade my key! I went through the steps and it looks like it is there...

    Anybody else that hasn't gotten the prompt to upgrade to UWB for the phone key yet?

    This morning I finally got a new update on my Feb 2024 build MSP to version 2024.8.9. But there is no UWB support and no FSD trial.

    Model s p90d

    You can also manually open the rear doors with no power. Of course, you need to be able to reach the levers under the rear seat cushion.

    Model s p90d

    I had a 2015 P90D. You have to remove the “nosecone”, open the hood, then access the 12v battery to jump it. This is from the emergency responders guide I downloaded from Tesla way back when.

    Stacking 2 road bikes in the back

    I have had 2 adult bikes laying down in the back many, many times. I pop the front wheels off. I put packing blankets on the floor and between the bikes. Much easier and much less anxiety than using a bike rack.

    Anyone received UWB (Ultra Wideband) phone key functionality on Refreshed MS?

    Was that with a phone or a fob? Tesla fobs were always bulletproof. Not many cars support phone keys yet.

    Model S Plaid Badge Placement

    Does this help?

    2023 Model S is a disappointment.

    The Plaid has those taillights. At least my Feb 2024 one does.

    The good ol’ days and the good new days….

    Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, I do not have the option to turn off the “Full Self Driving Visualization preview”. I think it is forced on all the time in my car. In fact, I think Tesla now forces it on if you have the FSD computer. That option used to be available on our 2022 MYP but...

    The good ol’ days and the good new days….

    I wish for the good ol’ days when you could configure the left and right sides of the Model S instrument panel with whatever info you wanted. Back on our 2015’s you could do that. Now if you’re not routing somewhere the left side is not used at all. I’d love to be able to put my Trips and...

    When will trial start rolling out?

    After you get the free trial set up you can go to Upgrades> on your phone. The tap on “Manage Upgrades” at the bottom and it will list the upgrades you have including the expiration date for your FSD trial.

    Anyone received UWB (Ultra Wideband) phone key functionality on Refreshed MS?

    My slightly educated guess is that there is specific, custom code needed to support the various UWB chipsets. Tesla may have had to use different suppliers and/or versions of those chipsets so what works for one car may not work for another. The Bluetooth key on the MSP and MYP work pretty well...

    Anyone received UWB (Ultra Wideband) phone key functionality on Refreshed MS?

    Still waiting on 2024.8.7 for our 2024 MSP. Our 2022 MYP got the FSD trial update last Saturday but nada for the newer car…
