This might sound a little crazy... but I just crossed 101k miles on what I believe to be the original mxm4 tires (I bought my S 85 used from Tesla in August 2018 with 48k miles on it, and have not changed the tires ever). I figure that to be a LOT of miles for the original tires (or even if hey...

Not a useless tip at all (see reddy’s screenshot above)! This change was not noted in the release notes or 2020.4 (that I saw, anyways). Threw me for a loop until I saw a comment about press ‘n release in another thread a few days ago. VC works better than ever now. This tip will help quite a...

No no no no noooo. My WIFE named the CAR. SHE called her Lana, not me! Hahahaha -shud

I totally get you, aerodyne, but I like to stay up to date myself (when I can). While some updates have been confounding (especially the jump to version 9 in late 2018!), I do find most to have really great stuff. On that point, I think I now have voice commands working. In fact, I may have...

Well, hey. I got 2020.4 the other night. Pretty cool stuff in there for this older car (that's for sure!). The texting from the front screen works pretty well. But, alla sudden my voice commands are being completely ignored (this was intermittent before, but now it's all of them). I note there...

Ah. I didn't drill in! Thanks for pointing that out about most of the other AP1 cars. Makes more sense with that granularity of data in place about the older cars. My office mate has a 2018 M3, and he often scratches his head at why I don't have the same FW as he does. This explains it...

Thanks AustinP for that extra tip about getting rid of even more unnecessary log info left behind after months of driving around with it when I don't necessarily need any of it (nav history). I also looked around in here and found some threads re 2020.4, and one of those led me to Teslafi...

Well, question #4 seems to have been adequately answered by cliffski! The clearing of the Trip counters followed by the hard reset seems to have done some good on that front: the release notes and manual are visible again! I know that log files run amuck can fill a filesystem in almost no time...

I love the outside the car [box] thinking, cliffski! I will try exactly that tomorrow. I have never used the trip counter, but happened upon it just the other day when I was looking for something else, and IIRC, it's at about 9,800 miles (1 and 2 are the same, I think?). It's just one of those...

Thanks for the responses, folks. I haven't had such intense probs as cgiGuy... it's just the annoyance of the voice commands not 'catching' or whatever. Just doesn't seem right. Should be better. As to the eMMC failure EV-Fixme brings up, while that could be the case, nothing else seems awry...

The AP thing is really obscure. So weird, I swear. It only happens every once in a blue moon. In general, my AP1 while driving is flawless. I commute the 101 in the Valley in LA every day for 24 miles, and this car has transformed my ride and my life. So, it's me, huh? Who knew?... -shud

Hi everyone—hoping you can help me with a few questions regarding my 2015 Model S 85 (w/ AP1), Lana... I'm posting them all here below. Maybe you can help me out? I've had the car for about a year and a half and have never asked about them until now, and would really appreciate info or answers...

First post. Bought a CPO 2015 S85 in August. Fantastic! That exclamation said, software upgrades have been kind of nutty for me (an admitted noob). Most radical, of course, was the changes to ... EVERYTHING... when Rev 9 hit. Wow. I had to re-learn everything I had just learned! I don't...

I ran across this thread just now. Very interesting stuff, for sure. I have not read through all 15 pages of comments (!!), but wanted to throw this out there... In the OP I read "a pedestrian in red(dish?) jacket is not detected at all" (with the recommendation to maybe NOT wear red jackets in...
