    Autopilot gone?

    Anyone report having this issue on a bright sunny day? It seems that many of us are reporting the problem when driving in the rain. I had it for nearly a hundred miles, in steady rain and mostly darkness. I parked for almost an hour and drove a short distance and the problem was gone, but, so...

    Autopilot gone?

    Yes, I had this issue (MS AP2 2017 75D) 42.2 at 6am ET for about 85 miles. I parked for about 45min and then did another short trip at 9:30am everything was back to normal.

    Blackvue app over ‘wi-fi’ Doesn’t work

    Actually, I did have that symptom. I had to "forget" the blackvue network, turn off WiFi on the iPhone, turn it back on and quickly connect to the blackvue SID first before any other connection. It was a little tricky to get the timing down. But I only had to do that one time. Now the...

    IDLE Fees questions

    Totally agree. Yes, I would never knowingly block someone that needs the SC. The point I stated several posts above is the Paramus SC; That one sometimes has a line of cars waiting. In a case like that, I would stay with my car and charge only what I need to get to the next one. Oddly, I was...

    Uncorking

    I would be asking them to 'triple' check. They seem a little annoyed that I continue to persist about this. They also wont share a print/pic of the config values - so that I can point to them... Frustrating, but I'm a little uncomfortable pushing the issue.. I need a good SC to work with :)...

    Uncorking

    Mine is a 2017 (July build) S75D. Two SCs *swear* that it has been uncorked. But it is not. I've had 2018 75D loaners that are OBVIOUSLY faster. I wish there was a way to make them listen, test it, whatever. Any hints to perhaps get uncorking my car revisited?

    IDLE Fees questions

    Wow Graffi, You're so smart. Gee... So - if I understand; I could just see how much time it will take to charge and then come back before that time is up. Hmmmm... I wonder how I could know that time is up? If only there were a device to tell me when that time was up.... Now THAT would be...

    IDLE Fees questions

    Yeah... I'm gonna drop what I'm doing and schlep out across the frozen tundra of the mall parking lot just because my car hit 100 percent and is the only one sitting there. Dream on San Diego!

    IDLE Fees questions

    Yes, That's exactly what I want. Just let me know that occupancy just reached 50% and I'll run right out to my car and move it. Based on the occupancy of SCs I use, I wouldn't expect to see such a notification for years.

    Dash cam on when parked? Necessary?

    I've also caught a guy walk up and unplug me from an L2 while I was still charging. The airport I park at shares an L2 for two spots.. My Tesla App notified me that charging was interrupted. I then logged into the BlackVue cloud app from my phone and could see that someone indeed just...

    Dash cam on when parked? Necessary?

    I didn't go looking.. A "Parking Event" on the rear camera registered and was saved on the SD card. Whenever I pull into my garage, all the "events" are downloaded from the dashcam to a home tablet PC over WiFi. Still images from the events cycle through my kitchen tablet until I do a...

    Dash cam on when parked? Necessary?

    My dashcam (rear) caught an old girlfriend drive up behind my car, sit there for a few minutes and think about doing something (allegedly) and then decide to pull away. This girlfriend is/was not the stereotypical psycho or known to be vindictive. I knew her (and last saw her) at least four...

    IDLE Fees questions

    I received this notice for the first time over the weekend. Idle fee of what would have been 9 minutes worth - Except that this is a test/grace period while they work out the details. AND except that the SC was less than 50%. Still, was a pretty strong warning. You guys in California have a...

    Trickle Charging to 100%

    I trickle my S75D from 90% to 100% on a L2 charger (10mi/hr) when I make the trek from Rochester to Buffalo and back. That's about 150 miles. I try to pull it off the L2 just as it finishes or maybe even before. Doing that about 2/month for almost two years. Noticed no degradation at all...

    Would you pay *dearly* to have ZERO nag?

    Suppose Tesla created a safety class that you could sign up for and attend at your nearest service center. In this class, you would: - Watch a safety video explaining the capabilities and limits of AP - Participate in a brief discussion about the content of the video - Go on a ride-along where...

    Getting Blackvue 900DRS installed by Calibred Customs next week.

    Interesting thought. I need to do an experiment the other way! My Resolution is already set to 1080P. BTW - I'm not really buying into the whole "That model camera throws so much heat that it affects the car's navigation camera in the mirror base" thing. I would think the Sun would have a...

    Getting Blackvue 900DRS installed by Calibred Customs next week.

    I installed a 2channel 900DRS a couple months ago. All was fine. I took my 2017MS in for it's first annual service and they were pretty unhappy to see that I added a dashcam. They were particularly 'vocal' about the fact that it was a model 900DRS. Two things: - The heat generated by the...

    Looking for the Lighted Rear Appliqué

    Be careful.. I have one. It has never worked correctly. The turn signals cannot be connected or the right half just stays on all the time. Turn left and the entire kit lights and stays solid. Leaving the turn signals disconnected but brake connected works well for about a day. Then random...

    Scraping noise mysteriously came and went

    This has happened to me - in my S75D. Terrible, pretty loud, "milling" noise. I made an appointment for service, but the noise was gone before I even had the appointment. Since they were scheduled to do the annual service, they looked all around the split axle, brakes, etc.. No signs of any...

    Should Tesla sell access to the Supercharger network to non Teslas

    Yes they should. And the pricing model should be demand based (similar to Uber, etc). As chargers fill up, the price goes up. The cost could be published to an app so that non-Tesla drivers can know in advance what they might need to pay.

    Paramus NJ Service Center POSITIVE experience (kinda long)

    Reading Service Center horror stories in these forums had me a little nervous about taking my S75D for it's first annual service. In addition, I had a yellow-fringed MCU screen replacement to do, questionable tire wear, the 'milling noise' and finally, 'uncorking' had never been done. And then...

    The yellow screen fringe, seems to be a bigger issue for them.

    My first MCU change-out is scheduled for today. This is the very first service center visit since buying the car a year ago. The yellow "residue" - as they referred to it on the phone - is very common for X and S built in most of 2015, 2016 and most of 2017. Mine was built in early July of 2017.

    Does Slacker Discount?

    If I buy the $10 premium for a few months and then cancel, will they send me discounted offers? $10/Month is hard for me to justify. Thanks

    screen discoloration

    Agreed. I live up in the Northeast where temps rarely reach 90F. My 2017 S75D always goes from my garage, to a parking garage. On occasion, I'll take the car to the mall, etc. But I always look for a shady area to park it. Usually I never have to, considering that it's cloudy more often...

    Auto Pilot problems and solutions

    How many engineers do they need? Maybe they could get a few more from GM, Volvo, BMW and Ford? They seem to have a handle on it, hardware AND software. Tesla has had enough time.

    Sheikh, et al. v. Tesla, Inc. Settlement - Thoughts?

    I agree that the capability and promise are there. The potential is not. Tesla appears mired in software/hardware and operational issues that they just don't show an ability to get control of. Yes, other cars are starting to catch up. Volvo, BMW and GM are quickly approaching. With their...

    Sheikh, et al. v. Tesla, Inc. Settlement - Thoughts?

    I'm planning to exclude. But, I really feel like this could spell the beginning of the end. It seem to really open the door to the entire 'lateness' of feature delivery and poor performance of the updated content. Even the nag is likely to become more of a known issue among both owners and...

    Critique my 'unusual' charging practice

    I have a level2 charger in my garage from my last EV (Chevy Volt) It charges my MS at about 4kw - pretty darned slow, but I really have no complaints.. I charge to the typical 90% and the car may sit that way (plugged in) for a few days. When I need the car, it almost always will incur a...

    Model 3 lighted applique

    BlackVue CLOUD and the DR900S

    Well, after about 24hrs and no one indicating that they are connected with an open WiFi, I decided to enable WPA on my 'public' network.

    BlackVue CLOUD and the DR900S

    Dude, that WiFi is a disposable one. There is a DMZ and a firewall before that SSID could pass through a port forwarded tunnel to the main WiFi. I live in the middle of 275 Acres. I have no neighbors!

    BlackVue CLOUD and the DR900S

    Hmmm.. Well I am broadcasting the SSID and the MS is about 4 feet from the repeater, which is plugged into the wall at counter top level. I did think of one thing that maybe no one else is doing and I am: I'm running no security on the WiFi. It's an open connection. Adding a pwd on that...

    Airport Charging Etiquette
