Just had the same problem with my 2017. I just pulled off the plastic piece of trim around the lock mechanism. Then tried some WD40 and hit the lock button a bunch of times. I also actuated a the levers with my fingers to work in the WD40. Has worked well since. Good luck!

Hi Torklift, did you finish the new undercover design? I'm about to place an order for the 1.25" version for a late 2017 post refresh.

I'm a huge fan of the concept truck, but I think the design feature that worries me most is the "un-sprung" electric drive units. They are not cushioned from road vibration by the suspension. They are hard mounted to rigid axles, which I presume are half-shafts to allow the independent drive...

I also have not yet received the update. MS60 with AP2 delivered 1/16/2017. Fingers crossed for something soon.

Here is the exponential curve and data I was referring to for my MS60 classic.

Would someone be willing to compare their new software S60 limited to this curve? The equation that matches my supercharging time for the classic S60 is time(hours)=0.28*{ exp(rates_miles_end/120)-exp(rates_miles_start/120) }. It fits nearly perfectly for a warm battery with when...

One of the most important elements of sustainable transport in my opinion is that the vehicle does not need thrown away after ~12 years. The world doesn't have the endless resources for that. Up here in the snow belt, many vehicles made ~12 years ago have rotted through body panels and an...

Also confirmed the 8mm X 1.25 thread is the exact fit. Range is optimized with tree pointing rearward as with getting it through doorways :smile:

Thanks Loganss for pioneering the way here. Just changed my non-tech MS60 (S11063) halogens. In a pinch I had to buy NAPA version LMP 9005's (high beam), which are made in china as opposed to the OEMs phillips bulbs made in Germany. Tesla uses the high beam spec bulb and does 2-levels of...

The bearings, reduction gear, and differential gear may see some slight wear. There is little oil film separation available at very low speed to prevent wear of the metal surfaces. Bearings and gears operate without wear when entrainment velocity (think hydroplaning on a micro-scale) is high...

If you hop right into the 70D after a p85d, yes huge diff. However, that's not a "need" issue. I used to have a Saturn Sky turbo (5.5s car), and the MS 60 feels light years faster. You can get a good idea how fast 50-80 will be from the Tesla Model S 60 kWh vs Tesla Model S 85 kWh Performance...

Any passengers I've had simply can't believe the acceleration. Passing is unbelievable, almost stupidly fast, compared to ICE's. I'm an MS60 owner with 45,000 miles, and I would buy the 70D over the 85D even if money was no object due to a number of factors, including efficiency. Coming...

Shelbri is correct. HB6820 is still not passed =( HB6820 which passed today was just the dealers getting more protection from manufacturers from what I can tell. Sorry to spread confusion.

If I read this right, it passed through the senate today! The site shows "senate passed" in the list of action on 6/3/2015. (C G A)

Your caption from the release notes range assurance section actually says turn-by-turn guidance, does it not? Is there some other evidence I'm missing? Without turn-by-turn guidance, running out of charge seems very possible which is not inline with Elon's claim on solving range anxiety. The...
