    Turning on heated seats without turning on A/C

    I just ran into this nonsense today: it's raining, it's cold, and I want to have a warm seat. And I don't want the AC on. I found many threads like this one without a decent solution, so I figured I was probably out of luck... But then after about 20 minutes of fiddling with it (which is far...

    Problem with FPGA

    Sorry to dredge up an old post, but I am having issues that sound quite similar to yours: my center screen went black over the summer, they replaced the eMMC, and it's been flaky ever since until 2 days ago when it went completely out again. How did you get to see those syslog, and how did you...

    Panoramic Roof Not Seating Closed - Warped???

    This exact same thing happened to me last week (I even took an identical picture), and I nearly flipped my *$#! at some poor Tesla rep about how there's no way this should happen on a car that costs 100k+. Anyway, I was luckily able to fix it myself without having to take her in for service...

    Wheel spacers

    Not maliciously so, and I'll certainly agree with you that they're one more thing that could possibly go wrong. (And if or when a spacer does fail, it's no doubt more disasterous than the lesser aesthetics of not running a spacer.) That being said, I've run spacers on my very high horsepower...

    Wheel spacers

    I love the FUD that always comes up when someone mentions spacers. As long as the studs are long enough and torqued properly, they're perfectly fine. I agree a small 1/4 or 3/8 spacer would look nice and give a little more clearance on the inside of the wheel well (since it seems awfully tight...

    Pearl White vs Grey

    Okay, this thread is about 4 months old now... So tell us what you decided on! :) I went with the grey myself; with grey turbines it's killer. (No offense, you guys with white ones look nice, too) But grey on grey FTW!

    Thanks! Now, I just need someone with a good home for her to make an offer. :)

    Beautiful 2008 Jaguar XKR, Low Miles - SOLD

    Beautiful 2008 Jaguar XKR, Low Miles Due to my wife and I expecting our first child in a few months, we decided to pick up a family-friendly Model S. Now we need to sell her beloved Jag to make some room in the garage. Not sure the non-EV interest on this forum, but I figure I'll give it a...

    Draft through small triangular window next to side view mirrors

    That's kinda a cop-out; I've driven convertibles with less A pillar wind noise. I hope they come up with a good fix.

    Auto-dimming mirror too bright

    The last two nights driving the car, I've found myself having to point the rear view mirror up at the ceiling so that I don't go blind. It's supposed to auto-dim, but the thing is still crazy bright. Has anyone else experienced this?

    Draft through small triangular window next to side view mirrors

    Registering so I can follow this, too. I just picked up mine this afternoon, and as soon as I was on the freeway, I heard (and can feel a draft from) those small front triangle windows.
