    Wind noise in full glass roof new Model S

    I added the tubing as well, except I installed it along the front area and down each side to the rear trunk like the earlier poster did. Looks fine and wind noise was substantially reduced. I bought the 25 foot version off Amazon. $18 and in 10 min it was installed. A simple and effective...

    MS Dropping Wifi Connection in Garage

    Ok folks. Solution was right under my nose :) If you car connects to your home wifi and you can surf the net on the car's screen, you are fine. Just because it bounces back to cell connection after you close and lock the car does not mean that it won't reconnect to your wifi when it wants to...

    Wind noise in full glass roof new Model S

    On my S, the windshield and roof form a nice curve. There is a gap between both pieces of glass. They look aligned but its this gap that seems to create the wind noise. I am anxious to hear what the service center says about a possible fix. I would not silicone that area. 1) it might look bad...

    MS Dropping Wifi Connection in Garage

    I have a MAC ID for each car, but the network assigns the IP address automatically. I can see what is assigned, but how would I change that?

    Wind noise in full glass roof new Model S

    You will hear it at highway speeds. I bet a simple gasket would help a lot.

    Wind noise in full glass roof new Model S

    I noticed this too. My previous car was a p85 with pano sun roof. I thought with the all glass / no sun roof option would be more quiet at highway speeds. Did you notice that between the windshield and the glass roof there is no gasket? There is a 1/16" gap across that area and I believe that is...

    MS Dropping Wifi Connection in Garage

    Yes, I did that several times. Someone at Tesla sent me this: "It is possible that your vehicles are having trouble maintaining a WIFI connection due to a firewall on your home network. One work around is to set up a static IP set to the vehicle’s MAC address and bypass the firewall. In order...

    MS Dropping Wifi Connection in Garage

    Hey folks, I can connect my MS and MX to my home wifi but I must ask them to connect. They will not automatically do it when I pull into the garage. I am able to surf the web etc while connected to wifi. I called Tesla HQ and they confirmed that the car was connected via wifi. However, after...

    I want my Mommy....

    It would be helpful if Tesla would spell out exactly what triggers these limitations. This way owners of P vehicles will know what they are getting into when they drive a certain way.

    I want my Mommy....

    Tesla has said publicly that the P100DL cars will not have the limits like the P90DL cars do. Do we have in writing the same for P100DL+?

    Glossy seat backs + kids

    I had Expel put on the two front and two rear seat backs. Would recommend anyone with kids to do the same. Also did all 4 door sills where there is a big X on the floor.

    "Crack"?? In rear body

    I had this exact same crack on both sides of my p90dl X. Tesla fixes them both to my satisfaction. Apparently it is just cosmetic.

    Initial 1000 HW2 cars getting AP software 12/31/16

    I'm picking up both P100Ds on Monday. I doubt I'll be in that bunch... I thought Tesla has a designated group of "trusted" firmware testers. Is that the case?

    HW2 software tomorrow?

    Well... I pick up both my P100Ds on Monday.... I assume the update is going to testers, right?

    Nearing 30k mikes & still no Extended warranty

    How about the new computer running AP 2.0? I understand the center screen is $4K to replace. I wonder about that computer... FWD, yes, but the two front door game me a lot of trouble initially and I had my rear hatch go as well. That was fixed, but what would that cost out of warrantee?

    Lug Nuts

    Does anyone know the exact specifications for the P100D S (new front as I hear its different from the original front) and / or X lug nuts? Looking at at aftermarket options but no-one at Tesla will offer exact specifications. They recommend Tesla's lug nuts... IE What will I need to be sure of...

    Tinton Falls NJ Supercharger ICEd!!!

    An observation (not a cure) to this ICE issue: At this Tinton Falls location, the charging stations are well marked. Most folks will not ICE them. However, if one does, the rest follow. Case in point: On Black Friday the mall was mobbed. The line out the mall was nearly a half a mile long. Not...

    Tinton Falls NJ Supercharger ICEd!!!

    TexasEV, I think that many Tesla buyers are simply unaware of how everything (EVs) work. Most Tesla owners do not read these forums. I have seen several folks run out of power on the highway and need to be flat bedded to a supercharger station. The Tesla is different enough (Despite Tesla...

    Tinton Falls NJ Supercharger ICEd!!!

    "the only proper way to correct issues like this is to educate, enact regulations and for tesla to enforce their agreements with the property owners who are hosting the SpCs" I agree. BTW she keeps her MS plugged in the entire time.

    I posted this story in the 40 cent thread. However, I believe it needs it's own thread as this issue can impact our travels profoundly. Please post photos of your encounters and what you might have done or suggestions of what we should do when this happens to you. This is the third time I have...

    Improving Supercharger Availability $0.40 idle fee

    In this case, the superchargers are in a premium spot. In fact, just as convenient as the handicap parking is. But you won't find these fools parking in a handicap spot because the police will fine or tow them. There is currently no real penalty to ICE a supercharger.... In the menlo park mall...

    Improving Supercharger Availability $0.40 idle fee

    I want to be clear, I did not post this to say anything against what Tesla is doing with chargers who stay longer then needed. There are areas where this is clearly issue and their solution seems reasonable to me. I wanted to highlight an issue I have seen at this location over and over again...

    This is the third time I have posted about this issue at this supercharger location. This is the only charger between Edison and Atlantic City Nj off the Garden State Parkway. I found a spot but last time it was ICEd I could not... I called Tesla Supercharger support and they said they would...

    Improving Supercharger Availability $0.40 idle fee

    I'd like to know how Tesla will charge these folks 40 cents per min while I waited to charge my car at the Tinton Falls NJ Outlet Mall Supercharger today December 23, 2016 at 3pm... Security did nothing!

    Is the windshield different in a cold weather package X?

    The CCD and/or CMOS sensors being used in these cameras all generate heat when active. It could be that Tesla is using that heat on these side cameras as part of the defrost function. That would account for the temp reading in that flir video. I am not sure if the rear or side facing cameras...

    Have recently delivered Falcon Wings gotten better?

    MX after VIN F022381

    Hi, I believe somewhere on this forum someone posted photos of the back seat floor area for their MX that had a VIN later then F022381. Can you point me to those photos? Recall Tesla changed the rear seat floor dimensions slightly after VIN F022381. Thanks, Greg

    Carbon Fiber Rims

    lolachampccr, What have you noticed about your car after loosing 10lbs per corner? Any effect on range? There is talk of a 10% increase in range when switching from 21" turbine to 19" turbine Tesla wheels. The 19" weigh 4-5 lbs less I believe. Is that the reason? Are the turbine wheels more...

    XPEL Wrap FWD And Sensors

    my Feb 2016 p90d's front bumper is wrapped and I have had no issues with radar. The reason I started the post is because Tesla officially recommends not to wrap the FWD due to the embedded sensors. Form the p90d, I followed their recommendation. However, just like the kind folks who chimed in on...

    Why Model S/X will not see 2170 cells any time soon.

    Keeping the same 100 power pack, the X and S will most likely weigh less when they migrate to the newer cell type. This alone will increase range and performance.

    XPEL Wrap FWD And Sensors

    Has anyone wrapped their FWD? If so, has there been any issues with the sensors that are behind the metal? Also, are there sensors behind the two front doors like there are behind the FWD? Sometimes it seems like the two front doors know there is an obstacle and don't open all the way to avoid...

    Model X December Deliveries

    My X and S never showed any progress on my Tesla account. I was told by the DS that they would go into production on Dec 5 and should be in NJ by Dec 30. Then on on Dec 6 my DS calls me and says the X is on the Truck (I believe he said already in Ohio) and will be in NJ in a few days..... I...
