I just got the update and immediately noticed no USB option for music. The USB player was pretty stable for a while, so of course they had to do something about it.

Nope, no HVAC controls without the MCU. Even the windows didn't work without the MCU and AC charging is limited to 488W (2A, 244V). I put a battery tender on the posts behind the cone, plugged the MCU back in without the screen, and parked it for a week. Periodically, I would check to see...

I didn't drive it for the week. Not much worked with the MCU in without the Tegra card, so it would have been tough. Nothing like a week in an old minivan to make you appreciate a Tesla.

I got my eMMC replacement back from TonyT last Saturday. It booted up normally with all of my settings and with connectivity back to Tesla intact, but is quite a bit faster than before. Now, the web browser works again and the fireplace/romance app displays a fire where it was just a black...

This is pretty much what I experienced during our 1100 mile road trip over the holidays. On one stop, I pulled into the Supercharger at 19% SoC and saw a very brief spike to 97kW that a second later dropped to 80kW, then tapered down like yours. The last road trip we did was about 2600 miles...

I have about 1k miles on a new set of Purecontact LS. They perform very similarly to Michelin MXM4 as far as ride, noise, and responsiveness, though they have a bit less grip. Compared to Goodyear Eagle Touring, Purecontact LS are superior in every way and hopefully last longer than the 22k...

I had a similar set on my S85 until my kids complained about the ride.

I swapped wheels over the weekend and have the TPMS fault alert on all the time since. Tesla service at first wanted $97.50 to reset it, since that's their minimum service fee for the service center or a mobile tech. After I complained that it was their fault, they dropped it down to $53...

I've been having the TPMS detection error since they took away the reset button and allowed us to select the wheels. My car has settled into a predictable pattern. As I get close to work, the error comes up and stays on until I park. On the next drive, the error clears and I don't see it...

The first drive after the 2019.32.2.1 update, I get an alert that it no longer can communicate to the TPMS sensors. Going through the menu, it appears that they have removed the TPMS reset, replacing it with a wheel selection option. Uggggh!

Has this been sold?

I've had V9 for four days now. Before V9, I typically had music on top and navigation on the bottom. Being forced into having navigation on top and music on the bottom isn't a big deal to me. What does annoy me are apps that used to take one touch now takes two touches with more focus and...

For me, the streaming music cuts out even when I have a full strength 3G signal. It seems like music is a pretty low priority to Tesla these days.

Sometimes, I get the same sound on my S85. It usually when I enter the car and after a drive for a little bit. I seem to hear it on colder days. To me, it sounds a floppy drive at it's loudest, a hard drive when it's quieter, or a little bit like a refrigerator defrosting. If it were a fan...

I bought a CPO car over two years ago with 31k miles on it. It has over 64k miles on it now and has never let me down. As for repairs, I've had a brake booster replaced for noise, two drive units for noise, a window regulator for failure, a Takata airbag replace for a recall, and a couple of...
