Just an update in case anyone with similar issue finds this in the future. Error did end up clearing the day I posted the question and I did the 810 mile trip home without any issues. Put the car in range mode the night before and then for each leg of the trip I navigated to somewhere near the...

Yes errors are still showing. Thanks for the tip on Range mode - I will do that if I try the drive. I do that drive fairly regularly and I never see the "battery preconditioning" message when approaching a charger except occassionally at the first stop in winter but it's still pretty warm here...

I have a 2015 Model S 70D and am currently around 810 miles (1300km) from home visiting my parents in another state (but rest of my family including my wife with some health issues) is at home. On drive down the car through the BMS_u008 (Acceleration and top speed reduced) and BMS_w172 (Vehicle...

The charger they were at did not have the CCS charger for Model 3 so wouldn't have charged the car. Hopefully Tesla will upgrade all the chargers there soon so that we can be helpful in the future!

I was at Sunshine Plaza today and there were two Model 3's parked but not charging. One was plugged in but not at the correct charger (only last two there have the new connectors on them) so wasn't charging and other one was not plugged in at all (but again not at correct charger so I couldn't...

I'm curious as to whether UK has features we don't? In other words is it just that it takes longer to validate for RHD markets compared to LHD, is it our government regulations or is it just that each market is different (different road signs, line markings, etc) which all have to be validated...

It will only work when connected to WiFi if you don't have premium connectivity. I would assume that you could possibly set your phone up as a WiFi hotspot though and then it should work when driving if you don't mind using your phone data?

I am guessing you have the SR+ version? That will not have web browser AFAIK as the browser would require premium connectivity which only comes with LR or Performance models (and which would also give you Spotify). There has been mention that SR+ owners may be able to upgrade and pay for...

Or there was another car there when last one arrived and they had to share with someone? Or they were going to Costco and wanted the charge to be slower so they had time to finish their shopping (last time I was there someone came in and parked in a paired spot with another car and I asked her...

I don't think there is an issue - I purchased a secondhand Model S without any concerns at all. Currently there is probably a bit more of an incentive to buy one through Tesla rather than a Private Sale to get the extra warranty but if the price is right anything will sell.

Wouldn't classify myself as a great photographer and it is taken in my driveway but I like it.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I am not keen on Michelin so will probably go with either the Continental or Bridgestone. Shane - I will give KTAS a call and see if they will match the price I have for the Conti's as I agree the hazard warranty is worth a bit. Had it on previous car and got a...

No I haven't had any issues (2015 Model S). I assume you have tried the normal computer reset procedure?

2015 S70D - just got renewal from YouI for $754 with $1550 excess. I am located in a small town on Sunshine Coast so that probably reduces the premium compared to living in the city and I am (mumbles) 49 with no accident history. I believe YouI will only insure the non-P cars but might be...

It is time to replace the tyres on my S70D. Currently I have GoodYear and I know Tesla currently sell Michelin Pilot Sport 3 (quoted me $1587 + $249 for alignment). Been shopping around and reading comparisons and from local places I can get: Michelin Pilot Sport 3 for $1500 Continental...
