    Wiki Consolidated eMMC Thread (MCU repair) (Black Center Screen)

    Made an appointment yesterday to get fixed...just missed the cut off at 109K miles :-( Mine is permanently displaying only the backup camera now and never goes to sleep. Consumes 4% battery /day Seem like most people get 100% black screen, anyone else seen backup cam?

    Wiki Consolidated eMMC Thread (MCU repair) (Black Center Screen)

    Just joined the the dead MCU club. "Center display unavailable" 2014 P85 w/110k miles. Seem like this would be something mobile service could fix, but wasnt an option.

    Teslafi - battery report. Should I be concerned?

    Thats a cool new teslafi feature! We have not been particularly gentle and still running strong after 106k miles:

    Life before your S

    Tesla replaced two ICE cars: Cayenne Turbo and Scion xD The Cayenne was a bit of a unicorn w/factory lockers, tree sliders, disconnecting sways. If I didnt have the Land Rover, I would have wheeled it.

    TeslaFi - Battery Degradation Reports (upload your data)

    It only matched me with 1 one other P85 with >100K miles. Im winning! ;-) Our annual mileage and and battery degradation are pretty liner (so far).n SO, In 10 years we would have 350K miles on the odo, and a usable range of only 100-140 miles.

    Renewing the debate on the best Fridge/Freezer for 6 seater MX

    CF3 looks sweet! My parents got the NEW cheaper version that: Dometic CC 40 - Electric Cooler Much lighter! Only Refrige - No freezing options. Maybe less efficient and not as durable, but way cheaper.

    "No Battery Performance" -Tesla.com

    Thanks kkillebrew and BPeter - both seem plausible explanations. Weird those are the only two options displayed, but maybe the website designers didn't bother to go back and add all the 2014 and older option codes.

    Was there an option for "Better Battery Performance"?

    Drive In, Not back into SC

    Twice or about once a year, I have seen a nose-in charger pedestal with collision damage. Once was significant enough to take it out of service. I agree the back-in are safer.

    Bizarre new screen display bugs while charging

    Search "Corrupt font". it has happened a few times to us - some s/w versions seem way more prone to this issue than others. Reboot always fixes it.

    Traction control and other safety features disabled

    Thanks @TheLocNar ! I just had the same issued with 2019.32.1 when changing wheel configuration. The "Power off" menu option under "safety & security" worked like a charm. Steering wheel button reboot was the 1st thing I tried and did not resolve these 4 errors.

    DIY Chrome Delete with Plasti Dip

    My dip has been holding up well at the 12 month mark. I have sprayed dip into the can cap and used a q-tip to do some touch ups with good success. Dip seems to auto level and erase 'brush strokes'. FYI - I used diecut vinyl for the door handles. I want to redo the rims with paint for a better...

    What's your 90%?

    2014 P85 with 90K miles: Currently range 246 (5.5% loss since acquired used). Actual 100% range over the last 40k in blue. Red is trend line: ...by the end of 2020, should have something else with more range. :-D

    Looking for P90DL

    There is a beefier rear steel bumper (nder the plastic skin) that can be swapped with the 3rd row seats. Not sure about A/C.

    AP1: AP vs TACC vs different days

    I use both every day on the same ' challenging' route and no determinable differences between the two modes or day-to-day. I do have weird variations of perceived legal speed limit for different unmarked ( aka no signage, default speed limit) sections from day-to-day

    Service Center Wait Times - Post Your Results

    Tyson Corner, VA books appointments 2-3 days out. I put lots of detail in the comments section, but the service advisor didnt see the comments. Not sure if it was a human or system limitation.

    AP1: AP vs TACC vs different days

    Im on 2018.50.6 (for 39 days) and have not observered any difference between TACC and AP driving.

    AP Following Distance on Setting 1

    Agreed! Since 2018.46 TACC follow distance has been more cautious.

    Rental Replacement P85D - Turo?

    Delivery of inventory P100D

    WOW - great deal! I would have sped out of there and never looked back before someone else offered more. Sucks they made you wait and started on a bad experience. The Spoiler is included (no charge) with all "P"s, but you can delete it from the build if desired. Mine doesn't have one...

    Why updates don't come as often anymore...

    Why updates don't come as often anymore...

    If you have an older Tesla, then many of the new versions are not eligible for your car. Im still on 2018.50.6 and the SC told me nothing newer is "available" even though 2019.9 is out in the wild. Back in the old days there were fewer car variations to code and test.

    Value drain on Tesla S

    AP1 and lane positioning

    It takes a little getting used to. Most drivers tend to cheat to the outside away from traffic, especially from on coming trucks. After a year, nobody in my car even notices the placement in the lane anymore. Semi-related: I think "truck lust" has either gotten much better, or we a numb to...

    Am I the only person who thinks the Y is kinda fugly?

    I would think X3, Mecan, Evoke, and SQ5 , are the Y's competition (but will pull some Rav, CRV, subi sales too) and I like the Y best: Cheaper, faster, and more cargo space than this competition too, i think.

    What's your 90%?

    Lots of good data points in this thread. Wish there was a way to consolidate the info into a graph of range vs odometer. P85 w/80k miles 90% range: 224 miles last 100% charge: 250 miles Here is my pretty flat range history over the past year and 32,000 miles:

    85D vs P85D vs P90DL

    P85 vs 85D pretty close but IMHO the P85 strengths were more important to my family for my local driving conditions: P85 - MUCH bigger frunk, lighter steering feel 85D - More efficient, stronger regen, better in inclement weather

    What Upgrades/updates can be done on 2015 p85d?

    My fav mods in no particular order: Norm cubby / Center console silicone organizer Norm trunk lights 12v outlet in rear Black out chrome and wheels I had a loaner car last week and really missed the cubby and trunk lights. I prefer the cubby/organizer combo over the center console.

    4 Teslas simultaneously in accident, Autopilot not to blame

    Suspension and pack bottoms were damaged beyond repair according to the Service Advisor I spoke to. All 4 going to the heap. Apparently the truck went airborn and came down HARD at some point in the flat tire / dodging a dog stories. :-(

    Why is there no 2FA for Tesla accounts?

    Range on my 2012 85kW pack

    Here is my battery history and degradation forecast. -4% over 25k miles. Data points are Feb 2018 - Feb 2019. This linear trend-line is worst case (expo and log are much more optimistic).
