    Can't connect to car using App when phone is on home Wifi

    Car has no issues. Again am keeping it OFF wifi, and 100% on LTE to avoid the issue. Just after a fraction of a second from the time I switch my phone to LTE, app connects, hence I see no issues at all with car LTE connectivity being the reason just because of how fast the app syncs again after...

    Can't connect to car using App when phone is on home Wifi

    Good suggestions. Yes Wifi works great on all devices including my TVs. Password should not be an issue therefore. I thought about Wifi rules and I really thought this could be one of them. I just turned off the Netgear Armor "security wall" feature to see if that helps... but no luck...

    Can't connect to car using App when phone is on home Wifi

    All is on. Note that the issue happens on all my phones. My phone, my wife's phone, my iPad. The only change I made in the past 24 hours is that I got a new phone but I recall for the first 3-4 hours things were fine. I also deleted the app and even re-connected it to the car as a new key...

    Can't connect to car using App when phone is on home Wifi

    Home Wi-Fi works just fine on all my devices. When my phone is on Wifi, the app keeps showing (last seen xx minutes ago) and the connections seems lost. As soon as I switch my phone from WiFi to LTE signal the app works again. I tried to delete/uninstall the app and reinstall, reboot the car...

    How low do u run tire pressure for comfort

    How low do u run tire pressure for increased comfort on the refresh MS? I have 19", and I hate how solid/firm the ride is at the recommended 42 PSI. Am running them at 36-37 PSI much better comfort; just curious what others are doing?

    2020 MS long range plus range

    This is for my current 2023 Model S with 19". You can see that majority of 2023 (or their average) is 391. Mine has a range of 404.3 now, with 0% percent loss. 99% of the time I set my charge level to 50% and I charge it daily back to 50%. I consume only 10% per day so 99% of the time my...

    Do the Ventilated seats blow or suck?

    From experience, I can tell you as someone who have had ventilated seats on every car I owned since 2002, majority of them are Mbenz, BMW and Lexus.... I found the Tesla ventilated seats to be better than any other car I owned, even better than my S-class..... I think the reason for that is...

    Pirelli Pzero vs Michelin AS4 vs Conti Procontact

    I have Continental Procontact RX on mine with 19"... I do have previous experience with all these brands as I tried them all for my Mbenz before I got a Tesla (both heavy cars, same tire size). Absolutely would always get the Continental Procontact RX

    That later comment was related to PPF in general as I had test samples from most brands already as I was shopping. Maybe it is not fair to say it is softer than paint, but yes, software than my Mercedes-Benz paint which was impossible to scratch via any towel. Is it softer than Tesla Paint...

    Just got my car from a full PPF job this morning (basically every single panel, full bumpers, lights and door handles "everything except black window trims and windows"). I also did full Llumar IRX window tint (25-30%). Still debating the roof but it seems to have built in heat rejection. I got...

    Cost evolution of MS/X yoke

    I bet that the reason they charge more for the Yoke now (after they were originally charging more for the wheel) is because they are already charging the consumers the potential cost of the Yoke failing due to all the issues and warranty claims they are getting about Yoke peeling off. So, in a...

    Cost evolution of MS/X yoke

    I kept watching until I saw him doing this, lolololol.... Trying wayyyy too hard to convince himself and others. Man... this makes no sense. Just enjoy the look of the Yoke and let's not debate the functionality. If it needs a youtuber to do half an hour video just on how you can turn the...

    2023 MS range!!!

    I'll report back. I think I trust my current mileage averages for in-town because majority of my trips are showing a very consistent average per trip, that is really close to the overall average. In other words, the standard deviation of my average is small, lol. Curious how that average...

    2023 MS range!!!

    Not sure if am hypermile, but yes, I do NOT floor it... I drive just like a normal guy. Also, I drive it on sport mode, never ever see the value in the Insane mode (way too much for my linking). Sport is more than enough. With that said, the Tesla based on these estimates actually does...

    2023 MS range!!!

    No, this is a combination of over 50-60 different trips, and a little less than a month of continued average (with a ton of short 10 miles trips that needs AC work hard to get car temp to temperature). There is no way they are all on a hill trip because it is all city driving back and forth...

    2023 MS range!!!

    I've driven my new MS about 750 miles to date (~driven during the past 3 weeks). My average Wh/miles is 220..... this equates to 454 miles on full charge based on that number. I have TeslaFi as well as the Tesla software both showing a similar average. Tracking the kWh charged vs miles...

    Model S might be…. Better?

    Simple I hd a Model Y order, rejected it the day it was delivered and ordered a Model S. Aside from cost, I found the S to been in every single way.

    Cost evolution of MS/X yoke

    For non-Tesla owners (those who are new to Tesla), they Yoke is attractive. However, for current Tesla owners, I agree that the wheel is a must have for better/quicker re-sale. I never owned a Tesla and just got mine, and I almost almost fell in the Yoke trap until I test drove both and asked...

    New owner ?’s

    Congrats. I also just joined the Tesla family…. Love the car coming from so many BMWs and Mbenz all with V8, AMG and M engines. The Tesla is the only one that is pushing me for a spin even around midnight just for the fun of it. I agree about FSD… it is gimmicky and seriously am not afraid...

    Model S&X Price Adjustments

    Agreed. Considering inflation, Tesla selling the Model S for 75K now is almost equivalent to 60K in 2019-2020, yet without increasing their price by a single dollar if they are at 75K now!!! I strongly feel they've reached the limit as to how low they can go and still convinced prices will go...

    Heat rejection of sunroof top glass

    Does anyone know the heat rejection (IR rejection) if the top glass on the Model S? I know they switched to a new one a few months ago that lets 5X more light yet with same heat rejection. Many people from the MX group measured it as 98% IR rejection, same for some Model 3 measurments. Does...

    Navigate on Autopilot

    Thank you!. Do u have any idea why MS cars would it also say "beta" for autosteer even when the car does NOT have FSD? Kinda weird it would also say Autosteer Beta on a the regular autopilot... From what u r saying, seems like Autopilot drives as good as FSD (at least for lane centering) which...

    Can you or someone post a screenshot from the window and options under Autosteer (beta). Also if the car does NOT have FSD, why would it also say "beta" for autosteer!!??

    Navigate on Autopilot

    Wait, are you saying that "Traffic-Aware Cruise Control, Autosteer (Beta)" needs a subscription like EAP or FSD? Aren't those part of the standard autopilot for everyone? Mine is on 3-months free FSD that i hate and am anxious to see what regular autopilot only looks like.

    I have a HW-4 vehicle with the free 3-months FSD. FSD is completely useless. Is their anyway I can remove FSD and try the vehicle using the regular AutoPilot? Just don't to wait for another 2.5 months for FSD to go away. Right now the Autosteer window is shown as "Autosteer-Beta", which i...

    I listen to music at low volume, so I needed to increase the bass to at least feel or hear it. As for other settings, you see that the treble is set at +3 as you suggested. The rest are almost close to 0 (they are set at +1). The mid range, honestly I found my music to sound better with...

    Any indications that front bumper camera can be retrofitted later on HW4 2023 MS?

    It kinda sucks that a car that is “supposed” to be able to drive itself, does not even have a proper front camera!!!!! So I saw the thread, and I like the solution, but the issue I have with all this is the inconvenience of having to open and close the lid, and likely push the button, each time...

    Tesla YouTubers are the most silly human-being on earth. Do NOT made personal decisions based on people trying to sell views. They make a big deal out of nothing. I just got my Tesla Model S. The gaps and panels are as good as what I had in my Mercedes S-class flagship!

    Model S Plaid huge depreciation

    I am one of those who took advantage of at least 10K out of the total 15K discount on the Model S. I got mine on a 9.5K discount from inventory (it was sitting on the lot for 2 weeks only, in a state wherein Tesla doesn't sell that well). I lost another 4.5K that I could have potentially got...

    Model S Plaid huge depreciation

    BS for you. But that is the reality. The highest %s of cars with FSD purchases, is for the Model S followed by X, and that's right from a peer who works for Tesla. Also, just based on a quick market search, you will find more S and X (percentage wise) with FSD than a Model 3 and X. Hence, do...

    Model S Plaid huge depreciation

    This is a good sign if anything. It tells you that they are getting close to their bottom line as far as pricing. Yoke now is 1000, price discounts are reduced from 1K to 500USD on the S and X, and also, the inventory has 0 discounts (barely demo cars are getting 1-2K when they were 10K...
