Interesting discussion. I thought virtually all SC sites had one nose in stall, UNTIL I rented a trailer and hauled some furniture to a site with a round trip distance of 240 km, and found that the SC I’d planned on using did not have such a stall, and it was too busy to pull in perpendicularly...

Same problem, no puddle lights. Hard reset fixed it. Thanks for the tip. I didn’t previously know how to do the “hard” version of the reset.

Firm feeling may get more floaty toward 100k miles and beyond. A slow leak has developed in one wheel, which is very difficult to diagnose because it takes at least several days to become a noticeable sag.

Has anyone created a digest of this thread from which we can learn what is currently known about this?

With all due respect, I did state that “this really does compromise highway travel with the car”. Moreover, I would not have gone to the trouble of posting my experience if I wanted to be told essentially to “suck it up and deal with it.” I’m unhappy with my older Tesla and your scolding is not...

I have a 2013 S85 and the change appeared on my Tesla page between 22 Oct 2019 and today, 12 Dec. 2019. Someone said there is a big thread on this in the “main forum” but neglected to give a link. Please supply that link.

I’ve been noticing slower supercharging for a year or two, for my 2013 S85. I probably don’t supercharge more than ten times per year, and am very careful about avoiding deep discharges and 100% charging at all times. And yet I’ve seen the typical performance drop from 60 kW at 60% to 50 kw at...

I'm having pretty much the same experience with a late 2013 Model S85. I do see up to 115 kW at least briefly if I'm down below 20% on arrival. But it starts to taper almost immediately and is down to 50kW at 50%, so takes an hour to get to 80% and I rarely get to 90% at a SC unless doing a...

It finally was annoying enough for me to schedule service. They picked up on the possibility of a downloaded cure, and did a reinstallation of the same software I had previously. Also, the tech claims to have cleared the navigation caches, since the problem only cropped up for us when completing...

It's been happening pretty consistently whenever we arrive somewhere we need to back into, like a supercharger for example. I'm not sure when or on which update it began. Has not been a problem since 2013 until this summer, perhaps latter part of the summer. Anyone else?

It happened again today, 17 Aug 2019, about 11 to 12 hrs. On the nav system it showed up as “reduced service” and then “temporarily closed.”

Yay for Tesla... It's about time! It's only software, for Pete's sake...

It would be great if someone could think up a better treatment for aggressive tailgaters than to slow and pull over for them, but so far that's really the best way out. I did see one guy who had a dual windshield washer set up, one of which would spray (blinker?) fluid on the tailgaters...

I don't have any problem getting hold to activate at a stop light, whether up or down hill. It does seem to require more pressure on the brake to activiate it on a downhill slope. Also only on a downhill slope, I find that I'm advised by a message to tap the brake to deactivate it, but I find...

The Model 3 rear view via mirror is already quite limited by the height of the rear trunk lid. It's just going to get worse for the Model Y. There is some logic in the widespread practice of putting a window panel below the lip of the spoiler edge (Prius started it, continued by Insight, Volt...
