    What does this indicate?

    Do you just not look at your map? I feel like your map not looking anything like your location, or even Earth for that matter would be more alarming to you than the Starship.

    Do you have a web crawler that just searches meeting notes and permits?

    AP1 P85/P90D Firmware Thread

    I updated to 2020.12.5 on 4/8 and I haven't noticed any changes at all.

    Speed and power removed from API?

    As of this morning, TeslaFi is still correctly reporting my speed, so I'd say something is going wrong on your end.

    Misleading "ADVANCED" Software Update Preference?

    For the last few updates, I've been getting them earlier than most on my 2015 MS. Before that I used to be in the later batches of software rollouts. Does your car have a solid connection to WiFi? it takes some time to download the update and won't update over cellular.

    Tesla isn't going to touch the browser in MCU1 anymore.

    AP1/MCU1 and Software V10

    You all keep hoping for browser fixes like it's actually going to happen. Tesla's browser fix is the $2500 upgrade to MCU2.

    Pulling the trigger on Tesla Solar Panels (Maryland)

    Still no word from Tesla on this, however my neighbor who owns a construction company told me the counties in my state aren't issuing any new permits due to the pandemic.

    I watched a Starlink train go by last night.

    Last night I took my dog outside around 8:40 pm. I noticed what looked like a perfectly spaced and aligned row of airplanes come from the northwest, go directly overhead, and move to the southeast. After the first 8 or so went by I realized it might actually be the Starlink satellites. I stayed...

    Own up, who was this?

    The tweet also mentions someone doing 76 in a 50. Is that not normal over there?

    Rebooted MCU Display Not Responding $1948 Bill

    You're experiencing the common MCU problem related to the eMMC (flash memory) wearing out. It seems they've dropped the pricing of replacing MCU1. It used to be over $2k. Since you're out of warranty, there are people here able to replace the eMMC for you.

    Here we are over a week later without a single peep from Tesla. I wonder if the delay is related to the pandemic.

    Pulling the trigger on Tesla Solar Panels (Maryland)

    I just went ahead and put my order in on Tesla's website for a Large (11.34kW) solar array. I answered some basic questions and uploaded the pictures of my utility meter and main electrical panel. I considered going for the three power walls, but I don't think it would be worth the extra...

    I love the lifetime map feature. I'm guilty of taking some weird routes just to fill in more of the map.

    Is your car Pre-AP? If not, there are heating elements for the front camera.

    Wiki FAQ: MCU2 Upgrades

    The IC (instrument cluster) works differently between the two versions. IC1 is part of the network in the car and is essentially it's own computer. IC2 is pretty much a second screen hanging off MCU2. It's a little more complicated than that, but that's the jist of it.

    Error while charging

    Your car is in limp mode. Best limp over to the nearest service center if it's not too far away. When you open the errors on the center screen by pressing the red warning triangle at the top, what are the error codes?

    Want to Talk to the Service Center!

    If your service center is like mine, there is a human on the other end of the text messages.

    Supercharger - Parlin, NJ

    Nothing is real until permits are filed with the locality. You could always check with the town/county/however NJ does it. Even then, permits aren't always a great indicator, I'm still waiting for Phillipsburg, NJ!

    Vacation homes for rent with in house EV /Tesla charging capabilities

    Darn. That's an hour away from where I get sent for work one month per year. It might be worth just adding the charging to the description in sites like VRBO or air b&b. I really wish they had a checkbox for EV charging though.

    Supercharger - Laurel, MD

    What the hell happened there? I just charged in that stall Wednesday morning. I was just in that parking garage at lunchtime today too, but I wasn't the one driving so I didn't go over by the Tesla stalls.

    Model S Structural Failure

    What's the build date of your MS? It can be found on the sticker in the driver side door frame.

    MCU died, I guess

    I got my car back this evening. The new screen looks more crisp than my old one. I also started with a blank slate for all my settings, so I spent about 5-10 minutes in the parking lot putting everything back how I like it. Overall, customer service at the service center has improved since my...

    MCU died, I guess

    If that's an option, I can't find it. At the end of the ride I'm not presented with a way to rate/tip. If I click the link in the receipt email it just brings me to the ride history, still with no way to add the tip.

    MCU died, I guess

    Update: Thursday they diagnosed my car as needing a new MCU before lunchtime.They gave me Uber credits rather than a loaner. Uber doesn't go a lot of the places I go, so I ended up bringing my Mazda back to life. I also noticed Uber doesn't give me an option to tip the drivers when I use the...

    Downside?

    I imagine killing the LTE connection would have a negative impact on warranty coverage. Tesla uses that connection for remote diagnostics if something were to go wrong with your car. Plus you'd lose app access, which takes away a lot of the pros of owning a Tesla in the first place.

    Downside?

    If that's how you want to spend your time, then I guess there's nothing wrong with that.

    MCU died, I guess

    Luckily I've got another 20k miles left on the warranty. Update on the not locking thing: I just remembered my key fob has buttons and the car locked with the fob. Since the car seems to be pulling HVAC power from the wall, I'll bring it to service in the morning.

    MCU died, I guess

    This evening I went to enter a destination into the nav, then the screen froze up and a moment later the Tesla logo popped up. I let it sit like that for a few minutes, then tried doing the scroll wheel reset. The screen went blank, and never came back on. After a couple more failed attempts at...

    Tesla wins in Michigan!!!

    Is this effective right away, or is there some arbitrary date for when they can begin operations such as having the mobile service rangers go into the state?

    Car did not move forward when flooring down the power without/with slip start. What was the reason?

    Flooring it on snow and ice is never a good idea. Spinning your tires melts the snow/ice temporarily to create slippery, clean ice patches directly under your tires, just getting you more stuck. Always ease into the throttle when you're in those conditions.

    "Best Practices" For selling my car?

    I hope you've been able to verify that isn't a scam. It's pretty common for a scammer to claim they're in another state and unable to meet in person.

    AP1/MCU1 and Software V10

    I actually just used this feature for the first time last night. My departure time was set for 5:15AM. It was done charging (85%) about 45 min early. Software 2019.40.2.3. Since it got done so early I'm going to move it ahead 15 min to my real departure time of 5:30.

    Random "Car needs service" message

    I still get the error on occasion. It happened yesterday morning when I was getting out of my car at work. I checked it at lunch time and it was cleared out. Last time before that was when I went up to CT for Thanksgiving. It happened several times up there while getting into the car, mostly on...

    PLEASE HELP/EXPLAIN - new 2017 MS (MCU1, AP2.5) owner, AP issue

    Honestly I wouldn't have bought from that dealer. As far as I know, Tesla won't wipe out AP with an update. It sounds like a bait and switch to me

    Do you guys actually precondition your car for one hour every morning for cold weather?

    I use TeslaFi to turn the climate on at 5AM on weekdays. I'm usually on the road by 5:30, but if I'm not on the road before 6AM then I set TeslaFi to turn the climate off.

    IC-7100 Ham Radio Install

    Tesla will use their own special blend of stainless called 30X based off the 301 alloy. If it has similar magnetic properties to 301 stainless, then this statement from AK Steel may be of some interest: "Type 301 is an austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel. This alloy is non- magnetic in...
