Every time I get in my car, I am disappointed when I look at the touchscreen. I can see this dingy yellow frame around my screen day and night. Sometimes the yellow fully obscures the buttons on the bottom and right side. I am disappointed because my service center said this is the worst case of...

I suspect this UV light is nothing but a rumor just like the software fix, magic LCD lotion, and lucky-charmed heater (a.k.a. IR instead of UV radiation). I cannot find a single engineering or scholarly document that shows UV light can remediate subsurface LCD discoloration. Every case of...

I have scoured the internet searching for engineering or scholarly articles describing the use of UV* light to remediate yellowing of the liquid optically clear adhesive in any computer displays. I have found zero corroborating technical information. As a result in my opinion, I would rate this...

I'd be very interested to learn this information too... The part number would be very useful. Thank you.

Okay, I have now exhausted all possible sources of information regarding repairing discolored screens. There is plenty of information and discussions about computer screens in notebooks and tablets discoloring along the edges due to glue. The solution was invariably replacement of the screen...

Don't forget the UV lights, magic wands, and Dumbledore elixir rumored fixes. What will they think of next? Just to be 100% sure, I have been searching and searching, but have yet to find any scholarly or engineering articles that show UV light remediating yellowing in a display. Has anyone...

Thank you, I was wondering if all the windows blocked UV in some way (metallized glass or something). UV lights are used to "cure" (as in harden) certain types of glue used in displays and other applications. But I have yet to find any scholarly or engineering articles that show UV light...

From your lips to god's ears ;)

I suspect nothing except a replacement screen will be a permanent fix. Screens that can handle higher temps are available, and have been available in one form or another for decades. They are designed for tougher environmental applications: rugged notebook computers, outdoor signage, commercial...

I agree!! They should keep replacing the screens in the meantime. Apple computer is in an extremely similar position with their low profile keyboards in their newest notebooks across their entire line. There is a materials and/or design defect in the keyboards that causes the keys to...

Tesla is currently selling brand new MS/MX cars with a 17” touchscreen, and I assume, no water cooling like the Model 3. I find it very difficult to believe Tesla is selling cars with a known defect, a defect for which they have received untold numbers of complaints and requests for repair. If...

Welcome to a club to which no one wants to belong. It took about six months for my screen to reach this point.

definition: disabled: put out of action definition: disabled: a device or mechanism : rendered inoperative When you can't touch the button because you can't see it, that would be the definition of disabled which is also the same outcome were the button made invisible or in other ways...

People have been reporting this problem for at least year and waiting for a permanent solution. A year is very long time to wait. I have been living with this problem for six months and it has yet to be fixed. In other TMC threads, people have speculated that the number of cars with this...

As mentioned in the original post (which I guess might have been a little too long): I have had nothing but fantastic customer service from Tesla in the past. I have contacted them regarding the yellow screen several times. I continue to have nothing but the highest regard for the people at my...

It isn't about concern that a Model 3 will have the same problem as my MS. The concern is that I want to be sure Tesla plans to continue offering the great customer service I have experienced in the past. I do not want to buy another car from a company that has decided to stop taking care of its...

The yellow bands of death (yellow boarders on my touchscreen) are so bad on my 11/2017 build MS 100D that under some conditions I cannot see some of the touchscreen controls, and therefore cannot operate aspects of the car such as the heater controls and volume at the bottom the screen, map...

The yellow bands of death are so bad on my 11/2017 build MS 100D that under some conditions I cannot see some of the touchscreen controls, and therefore cannot operate aspects of the car such as the heater controls at the bottom the screen, map settings on the right side, and more. This makes...

Good article summarizes what is (and may) be going on: Tesla's Screen Saga Shows Why Automotive Grade Matters

I have been doing a lot of testing of Sentry Mode in 2019.12.1.1 and earlier. I have found a troubling issue that I did report to Tesla. I have a 100D with AP2.5 and MCU1 in a late November 2017 built. After some number of hours (2-5hrs), and the car appears to be sleeping, Sentry Mode stops...

I am 2019.8.6 right now. I suspect what is happening is the code that displays the backup camera window froze just as it switched off the last time I backed up. The next time I backed up, the frozen window was then redisplayed. I took a photo of the screen and included it in a bug report to my...

MS 100D 11/2017 build AP2.5 MCU1... and stuttering since "upgrading" to 2019.8.x... I never experienced stuttering before. I am also experiencing the following since the OTA update: Random Crash and Reboots (several times during a typical drive — about once every two hours) Lose of sound...

MS 100D 11/2017 build AP2.5 MCU1... Here’s a revised list of the bugs I'm experiencing since OTA 2018.8.x. I suspect much of this is due to race conditions in the code which is exacerbated by heavy processor loading of my car's MCU1. The MCU is simply being crushed by all the work it is being...

I'd pay $1500 to upgrade from MCU1 to MCU2. Though I think I should get some kind of discount because I have the yellow-screen-of-death around the edges. So Telsa will have to replace the screen for free as soon as they get the new screens (hopefully this summer).

I have a 11/2017 build MS 100D with AP2.5 and MC1. About a week ago I upgraded to 2019.8.x. I have been using the dashcam for months prior with no reboot issues. As soon as I upgraded to 2019.8.x, I started getting reboots (about one every day). I've also sporadically lost all sound...

My MS 100D is AP2.5 with MCU1. I just got an OTA update from 2018.50 to 2019.8.6. I’m thrilled to have the update and love all the new goodies but surprised by the big ugly obvious nature of some of the bugs. In the first 48 hours of use, I found Sentry Mode stops working after 2 hours if the...

Sometimes I am frustrated by how slowly OTA updates are rolled out and how I seem to be near the end of the bread line. Other times I’m happy to have been left at the back of the line because I’ve ended up skipping over the more buggy releases. The who, what, and when of OTA updates seem so...

I’ve had two Tesla MS 100Ds fully wrapped with XPel Ultimate for around $4,500 each. The stuff is great. It’s already saved me from a very expensive front fender repair, and in doing so, come close to paying for itself for one of the cars. I can recommend a place in South Florida that did the...

I 1000% agree... When I purchased my 2nd MS in 2018 with FSD, over the air updates was an established part of the product the same way Apple provides free operating system updates. This was a promoted feature of Teslas. As such, the benefits of OTAs are something any customer could legitimately...

Funny... I never suffered from the "What about me syndrome" until I saw the M3 getting a full general availably release of something I had been waiting and waiting and waiting for... Sentry Mode. I hope this is not a sign of things to come.

50.6 is the current release according to my SC. Eveyrthing else is early access. All the examples of cool new stuff seems to be on Model 3’s... All the enhanced summon videos that are floating around are model 3, not model S/X. Model 3 has Sentry Mode, and etc. not S/X. This tells me were Tesla...

I too hate the current horizontal screen setup. The car needs either a heads up display or a normal dash. I wear progressive glasses. The way progressives work is that different parts of the lens have different prescriptions. This means that in order to view things on the left or right, I have...

The app now looks like it is trying to display something with the black screen and failing. There is now a small 'X' that can be clicked to dismiss the black screen, and this gets me to the normal home screen. This initial black screen with its spinning wheel never goes away. It stayed spinning...

Is anyone else having a problem connecting to their car via the Tesla App... On my iPhone all I get is a blank screen with a "spinning wheel" that goes round and round and the app never connects. I've seen connection failures before but this one is new for me. It was working a few hours ago.

I too am in the pre-paid FSD camp. Getting into the EAP in April would be a nice consolation prize.

I have AP2.5 and just recieved 50.6 a few days ago! Like many, I am frustrated by these delays. My car was damaged in an incident that Sentry Mode might have prevented. I have been holding off on aftermarket solutions that Sentry Mode would make pointless. In these rollouts, there seems to be...

This story is interesting. It would be nice if it turns out to be more than a website edit error. Tesla updates new 200+ kW Model S/X charge rate before reverting it to normal With all the waiting and frustration that Sentry Mode and the price swings have caused, a nice bump in charge speed...

I suspect you're right. Too much abuse. What a shame!

I would not scrape the bottom of any of my cars. Tesla MS are not off road vehicles. You can purchase various kinds of driveway / curb ramps. You can get them on Amazon. Curb Ramp™ - The #1 Solution For Steep Driveways And Lowered Cars and Amazon.com: driveway ramps

I used the “Escalate To Management” button once about 1 ½ years ago and it worked okay, not great, but the issue was escalated. I’ve been trying to get an answer to a simple question for over a month now and getting no reply at all, zero, zilch, nothing. I guess team Tesla must be stretched...

The more important points of this post are (a) The Xpel wrap is in fact useful protection and (b) Sentry Mode could have made a difference. I make the point repeatedly in the post that this might not have been a hate crime. How the two cars were parked and what I saw in the Dashcam video leads...

I learned a lesson today. Teslas are the target of hateful people for a lot of mindless “reasons.” Some of this targeting is due to the politics of climate change. Some of it is due to the stereotype that only liberal greenie snowflakes drive e-cars. I guess some of it is just a love of anything...

I bought my current loaded MS 100D in January 2018. I have no regrets. I love the car. The SC experience (at least here in South Florida) has been spectacular. Before I took delivery, for free they trucked the car on a flatbed to a body shop I'd selected to have it fully wrapped in XPel Ultimate...

I feel the same way. Why are the flag ship products not getting this update at the same time or before the Model 3? Is there some technical issue?

The manufacture date was 9/2017 with some overlap in 8/2017 When was AP 2.5 Introduced?

I have experienced this problem with 48.12. The memory RESTORE button was missing letters. A reboot "corrected" the display but does not fix the coding problem that caused this error. This kind of thing indicates memory corruption by the code. I've also experience other bugs since the 48.12...

After many weeks of use this update seems buggier than prior updates. As far as autopilot goes, the car does steer better but it brakes more aggressively and erratically on surface streets. Here are the bugs I’ve experienced: 1. The Seat/Mirror memory position button shows a garbled message...

Is anyone getting an error message when trying to send “share” a map destination from iphone to car? This worked for me yesterday but not today. No software has changed in the car or phone. Running 46.2 in the car. It seems like an outage of some kind. Sorry about the title... I was posting...

I have 21" Grey Turbine Wheels. My Tesla Service center handled the whole thing for me here in South Florida. They sent out a ranger (actually a company they contract with for road service), put on a temp wheel/tire (19" instead of 21"), took back the wheel/tire, and had it fixed. It looks as...
