    How to request new software/firmware features?

    I'm only joking but... The UK need to pick one standard or the other, not both! Of course the US thinks it's special so we are totally Imperial, which is lame, IMO. But the UK swings both ways. That would drive me crazy!

    Blackvue Motion Detection settings

    I left mine in the default mode for parking and have had no issues for a year. Honestly, I use it only for that one day that some schmuck hits me. Almost happened on the 4th but I reacted before I even knew I was doing it. Phew!

    17.24.28 am I crazy?

    Nope you are not crazy. But 17.24.28 wasn't what fixed it. It was maybe 6 months or so ago that they pushed a codec that significantly improved my UHF system. Now I actually enjoy it for being a factory system.

    How to use Trip Display

    Check out EVTripplanner.com. It's an awesome resource from long trips. I never go anywhere without using it.

    Insuring a new Tesla $$$

    I have my renewal right in front of me, as I renew on 7/25. I am now paying 1,711.92. Perfect record, supposedly 9K mi/yr. It has creeped up over the last three years. I think I started at about 1,300, which is what I was paying for my Acura SUV that was 25% the cost of my baby. So, not so...

    Auto Pilot doesn't seem quite ready for prime time

    I completely agree. We have years to go before it gets to prime time. My guess is ten years before Level 5. What we are hearing now is the typical hype. The is not an easy or insignificant advance in technology or social change. I think the social change will be the biggest barrier, by far.

    Another option for aftermarket sound upgrade for Tesla.

    I'm curious. Why not Light Harmonic? I know they had a heck of a time with the rollout. But I thought things had settled for them. I have read some great reviews of the upgrade to the UHF, which I have.

    What is supposed to come with the car?

    @warrenbecker : "Yes there were no mats at all just exposed Velcro." That is totally unacceptable! Call them and get them to give you mats and a second fob. You paid for two. They always pull this crap at end of quarter deliveries. They rush them out to make their numbers. Happened to me...

    Issue with front passenger window

    I have had this problem. There is a misalignment issue. I had it fixed about 18 months ago and it seems to have come back. Not the black goop, but a banging sound and the window will occasionally autoreversing back down, which I think it due to an obstruction in the door. I noticed that some...

    Tesla mistake? - "fully loaded, newly built cars to our service loaner fleet"

    If true, I think it's a huge mistake.

    Computer Crashed?

    I just updated to 17.24.28 and have had some oddball stuff happening too. Like the media center playing my USB when I am supposedly playing the radio. But the car has been running fine.

    Why hasn't their been a push to convert M3 prospects to MS Customers?

    Very simply...Right now the company's future depends on the success of the 3. Moving orders to the MS would be the worst thing they could do and goes again the mission of electrifying the automotive fleet. Only so many of us are lucky enough to drop the coin it takes for an MS.

    Mobile charging outlet in front of car???

    Same issue. I learned to back in. It was a little tricky, given my layout. But I became a pro pretty quickly and actually prefer it now. So cool to have the garage door open automatically, my headlights fire up and glide silently out, and have door close automatically. My neighbors love it!

    New 75d vs inventory 90d question

    I think the range issue should be thought through on their driving needs. I have an 85 and have had only one issue that worked out fine in the end. But I live in Santa Cruz, CA. It is rarely hot or cold. I didn't see the age of the 90. That would make a difference for me.

    First Time S Buyer, some advice and ?'s

    Congrats! I am very happy with my car as spec'd below. If I have any regret, it would be the 21's. I go through tires faster than you can imagine. If I get 10K out of them I am doing pretty good. But I absolutely love the look. So it is my own fault. I almost never open my pano roof, but...

    Love this company: they have my back on accident repairs to my car

    I have never had anything but flawless and stellar service by my Tesla buddies. Makes me sad when I hear of those who have gotten poor service.

    Supercharger - Gustine, CA (12 V2 stalls)

    Saved my but today cuz I was hot footing it from Fresno and ended up not having enough juice to get to Gilroy unless I stayed at under 70, which was simply never going to happen!

    Radio cutting out

    It's super annoying! I upgraded to LTE in an effort to fix this. Zero effect. Then I added a WeBoost cell amplifier because I live in a poor signal area. Some improvement, but not much. I don't have as much of a problem with Slacker as I do with TuneIn. But it still does it. So after...

    Ultra hi-fi sound change to Premium Sound

    I believe that they did an OTA update for higher bitrate. I can say that my UHFS sounds a hell of a lot better than it used to. Now I don't feel as much of a need to upgrade, though I probably will some day.

    Reboot the car: Unplug the cord. Close the port Get in the car Press the brake pedal and keep it pressed throughout the entire sequence. Press both scroll wheels on the wheel. Hold them down and do not let go until the center screen has gone black and after a few moments the Tesla "T" shows...

    How to prevent chips on windshield

    I don't find this glass to be more susceptible to chips or the small pits than my other cars. I did get a star crack from a rock very early on. Oh boy! Was I pissed. I got it filled and after 2 years, it seems to be coming back, but not growing. ime to go back in. I do have a question...

    Tesla Wifi Sux

    I am no genius on this at all. I have an Apple Time Capsule as my main router and two Airport Extremes to extend the home router around the rest of the place. One extender is in my garage, about 4 feet behind the rear of the car and I have 100% signal strength. I tried putting it on the...

    Have to replace a relatively new tire due to a nail

    A complete breeze to repair. I ALWAYS get them right at the edge of the sidewall, which makes them un-repairable. :confused:

    Is there a way to add DRLs?

    Dodge Demon 1/4mi 9.6 @ 140 - 0-60 2.3sec

    Probably been said but... The demon will be practically undrivable except at the strip. The Tesla is a perfectly drivable luxury sport sedan AND is stupid fast ALL the time and everywhere with street legal tires and a great ride. I think that is what makes it unbeatable when compared to all...

    Summon from Key Fob - working or not?

    My key fob is cranky. But yes, I must have the continuous press off to work. It's still cranky. But the passers-by simply love it!

    Is there a way to add DRLs?

    That is sooooo weird. I had no idea that all cars did not have them. I live near Silicon Valley, where they are everywhere and I see them every day, and I have never seen one without them on. I am positive that I would have noticed. Am I that unaware?

    Dodge Demon 1/4mi 9.6 @ 140 - 0-60 2.3sec

    That is truly impressive if true. I had somebody tell me the other day that a Hellcat did it in 7.6. I told him to check his numbers! :eek: This will just egg Elon on and I say go for it! 0-60 in zero seconds! 1/4 in 10 milliseconds! Bring it on! Oh...that's HyperLoop.:) Next...

    Co-pilot Mobile App for Tesla (beta)

    I would love to try this out. I signed up. It looks like a lot of fun. I live in a rural mountainous area and commute to moderate city streets. I hope I can add some useful data for the outlier roads outside of the metropolises like the the Silicon Valley.

    Is there a Tesla Wave or hand sign?

    I got the finger from a C-class driver yesterday. No real idea why. I think he was jealous. I thought it was odd and had no sympathy for him and his puss car. I do still wave in parking lots and such. But not so much on the road. There are too many in Silicon Valley to safely drive and...

    Software V8.1 Update Confusion

    Windshield wipers and rear seatbelt sensor (newbie)

    Yes, the wiper on slow or intermittent leaves too much space. But on high it sweeps all the way to edge at the top of the wiper. I think the design of the continuous spring wiper causes this. It flexes a huge amount when on high due to momentum and having no armature to support it. If it...

    Why you should not buy a Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

    Touch-up Paint Availability Question

    DO NOT get me started on this one! I've had my car for 2 1/2 years and they still do not offer Midnight Metallic touch up paint. WTF Tesla? This is a basic and simple concept. Chip----paint----third party supplier. Confirm it's a match and GET 'ER DONE. And thanks to Dr. Colorchip. Oy.

    Any noticeable change regarding the M3 trunk opening?

    Elon says no Central Speedometer

    Nope. Can't buy a car without a proper IP. By proper, I mean in front of me so I don't have to look to the side. I do that enough to control all the ancillary carp. I don't want that for the basics.
