    Bought used car with AP 1.0 computer but Can't Upgrade/Add-Auto-Pilot

    They stopped putting AP1 in cars long before they added the software upgrade page in the UI and the app. My guess is there was no need or desire to even put any development work into adding it to the upgrade page at all, especially with the low number of AP1 cars in the world. Best way is...

    Late 2016 / Early 2017 S Owners: How Are Your Daytime Running Lights Holding Up?

    After seeing the post about the 10 pairs on Ebay, I grabbed a set myself. Late 2017 S. My left headlight eyebrow has been out for over a year now, and the right one was replaced 3 years ago for a different issue with a D revision, so I have been diving with an "imbalanced" eyebrows for a...

    Euro Tail Lights in USA

    Actually now that I think about it again, I found out that the dimmer, running lights that are on the trunk itself also blink when you put the turn signals on (i.e. during the day when your headlights & running lights would be normally off already). Found that very strange and unexpected, but...

    Euro Tail Lights in USA

    Honestly, I'd assume there is some legal/liability reasons why they can't modify a car to a different specification beyond what was originally sold. Since they've never sold a Model S with Amber Taillights in the US, they can't modify one to use them since it's a configuration that was never...

    Euro Tail Lights in USA

    I attempted it about 2 months ago. I rewired all the signals around so the top brake light signal would run the outside part of the taillights, and the front turn signals would run the new amber rear lights, all via relays. Even put equivalent grounding resistors on the old outputs so the...

    V11 is going to be HUGE!

    Pretty much. Which was a poor decision in my opinion. The UI before v9, the S/X had it's own unique UI that worked very well. Then they threw in the horizontal designed UI from the 3 into the S/X vertical screen. Compared to v8, v9 & V10 in the S/X is awful. Pretty much everything on the...

    Smart Shift for Older S/X Models Possible?

    I doubt it will be "forced" upon us but I do believe it would be super easy to implement in our older cars if they decided to add it. I do recall seeing in some of the Model S Refresh leaks that there was a way to disable it in the settings menu as well. Thus if we do get it hopefully we also...

    Late 2016 / Early 2017 S Owners: How Are Your Daytime Running Lights Holding Up?

    My left light has failed, waiting on the right side to do the same. Did you get the F revisions from Tesla and install it yourself then? Or got them from E-Bay? I'm waiting to see if these F revisions do fix the problem before I look into replacing them myself. Or go snip a wire and disable...

    Euro Tail Lights in USA

    I'm currently in beginning of the process of doing this myself. Always bugged me to the point where I want to just fix it myself. Right now I still need to get ahold of another EU taillight however. My plan now is to get to the main control unit and change the signal wiring via relay logic...

    Gen2 HPWC charging cable tight fit in charge port

    I just installed a Gen 2 at my home and noticed the same thing. It's way more snug and requires more effort to get it to lock in vs the mobile charger I have been using. I just figured being brand new it just needs broken in. Perhaps not... I would guess it was manufactured slightly larger...

    Something interesting happened with my Service Loaner and Autopilot

    Same thing happened to me this week as well. Got a older loaner and it's autopilot was way different. Did the car on the heads up display look way different too? Essentially, the 2015 has autopilot 1 (AP1) which was developed by mobile eye and not by Tesla. So it's running completely different...

    MCU2 Upgrade Audio EQ Balancing - Coming From MCU1

    Now, the real question that I don't have the answer for... how do we Tesla's attention with this? The EQ balancing as well as proper DSP timing. Clearly the settings between what we had on MCU1 and what's being used on MCU2 are different and has affected the sound quality a lot. I might start...

    MCU2 Upgrade Audio EQ Balancing - Coming From MCU1

    That's a neat way to think about it, just 13 ft different. And I see what you're saying, but each instrument in an orchestra plays something completely different from the others. There is a reason all the trumpets sit next to each other and not far apart. And yeah, there may be a slight delay...

    MCU2 Upgrade Audio EQ Balancing - Coming From MCU1

    In follow up to my previous post on rear speakers being out of sync with the front, I grabbed a laptop with audicity to have it play a click track and record what the microphone hears. I recorded one with the front speakers only, and a second with the rear speakers only, Here's the results I...
