Update for anyone who finds this thread: It turns out that the only way to fix this problem is to call Tesla, pretend you have a need for roadside assistance and then they'll manually transfer you to someone who says they can manually connect the two devices. At least they said they did, but...

I've been using the Tesla Android app. Just upgraded to my new phone and discovered that when I signed in on the new phone, "my" account didn't know anything about my car. Inspecting the account on the old phone, I see that Tesla simply invented an email address (hotmail, go figure) that I don't...

this is super helpful. Ordering a guard now. they finally got back to me and said that the logs said it was a pocket dial. I'm surprised that after a year of it not happening once, it happened four times in a week. But you never know! PS this is one more example of bad design in a car that...

Has anyone had problems with the Falcon door opening on its own, after the car is parked? It has happened four times to me this week, here's the most recent, parked in a snowstorm while I was at the grocery store... PXL_20210207_154126761.jpg I've just turned on Sentry hoping that this will...

great to know, thank you

Is this unique to me? When it gets below 40 degrees, it starts to stick, and today at 25 F it took a great deal of effort to remove it. I've been through this twice with Tesla Service, and they're acting like it's either imaginary or normal. I've got the standard Tesla charger wired at my...

Forgive me but can't find this anywhere... I have my USB drive working great, thanks to the detailed instructions on this forum. Now, I see, for example: ARTISTS ---> ART BLAKEY and then 8 albums How do I tell the car to randomly play from among the 8? If I drill into one of the albums, I...

Thanks to everyone who chimed in. I appreciate it. To clarify: --it's not geography based, so I'm hesitant to blame it on electrical interference from a particular spot on the planet.. and --the door closing thing happens when I try to open a closed rear door. Thanks again.

I've had my Model S for 18 months. I've had the following problems almost the entire time. I've been to service many times. Each time they act as if I'm the only person in the world with them, and despite my video recordings of them happening, they say that they're not reproducible. It would...

ScottM, this is priceless. I'm voting for meadows. I love meadows.

After service visits as well as letters to HQ, I'm getting no progress on a host of issues. My last service came back with Tesla claiming that all of the things I'm listing below are either made up by me or are not bugs, as they're within spec. Before I escalate this with them again, I'm...

Tesla blamed the problem on my music. I have a large USB SSD plugged in. They say it's no longer supported...

He's not asking for our opinions. He's posting Twitter-bait. It's a terrific way to get Twitter buzz. This is how most companies use Twitter. Make noise, don't listen.

Thanks Gizmo Given the quality of my cell phone service at home, and the fact that it happens in other places, I'm not optimistic about that approach. I swapped out my Tile fob for the newer model, going to run some tests that way, and then fobless. But, as we can see from Gaucho, I'm not alone...

Thanks for the reply, makes me feel a bit less crazy I'm not an electrical engineer, but everything I know about RF and computers is confounded by the attached photo. This is clearly not an antenna issue, there's got to be something else going on.
