So I've been on 36.2.2 for about a week now, and I think I have noticed an issue with AP that was not present in 36.2.1. In heavy traffic I keep AP and set to 1, but it leaves too big of a gap between me and the car in front of me. So I will press the accelerator just slightly to close the gap...

I got my car new about this time last year, and do not recall noticing this behavior. But it was my first Tesla and my first EV, there was alot to learn, and maybe I just missed this. Anyhow, where there is an unexpected/unexplained change in the battery reporting, either positive or...

I just recently got the 2019.32.2.1 update, and I've started using the departure scheduling. I have my car set to charge to 80%, but if the car sits parked in my garage after charging for several hours or more, the charge slowly creeps up to 84%. I can tell this because I am using Teslafi. It...

So one day last week, I charged my S75D up to 80% at home in the morning before leaving, and when I arrived home later that night, my battery was at 31%. So almost 50% used. When I looked at the kWh it said I used during the day, it only reported 27 kWh. I know the 75D does not really get a...

Sounds like this is just asking for trouble... Remember a few years ago when a Tesla hit some debris on the road, punctured the pack, and it caught fire? Lowering it more would be increasing your chances of damage should you encounter an unavoidable object in your lane. Tesla Model S hits...

I use P2D as well, and always slightly concerned about what happens if the center screen craps out. I recently read somewhere else that if the app will connect to the car, you can use your phone to start the car without having to put in your pin. This is also useful if you are taking someone...

I have the winter package on my 2018 S75D, and I think as part of that, it de-ices the wipers somehow. Maybe there is a heating element where the wipers rest? I do not recall right now...

Just pull out the app, and pre-heat the car for 30 minutes or so. Actually just recently saw a winter tips video for the model 3, the 3 actually has air gaps around the door handles so when you preheat the car it will melt the ice on the handles. I think last winter I felt air leaking around...

So I've been noticing for months that the cover over the ultrasonic sensor in the driver side front wheel well has been out of place. I could stick my finger between the opening of it, and the painted edge of the wheel well. Today I tried to pop it back in place, and put the hole in it over...

So last night, while taking my kids around our hood while trick-or-treating, I came across a model 3 that was parked in a driveway, in front of a garage. The driveway was two cars wide, and it had 4 cars in it, the model 3 being closest to the street. I think this is important, because it made...

Issue is not the wheels, but the rubber tires. Tires are rated to support a specific weight load. So even if a tire will fit the rim of a wheel on a MS or MX, if its not rated to support the weight of a Tesla, its a poor choice. This is not the same as the speed rating, BTW.

Anyone else notice that whenever you "start" the car, and the driver profile switches from easy entry to the appropriate profile, that it shows "saving" several times up at the top? I know as part of V10 there was an enhancement to the driver profile where it would show you "saving" when a...

I have a staggered 21" wheel setup on my 2018 S75D(from the factory) and last winter put some after market 19" legganos(from tirerack) on that were not staggered. My car also has the SAS. I didn't even think about the possibility of the car pointing up at a slight angle because of this, and it...

Another thing is you can get the 20" wheels for the model X, and with the right size tires, you can run those on your S. Not sure what that size is, or if you can get snow tires in that size. Might be worth checking out. Then you could have a set of dedicated snow tires/wheels when you get...

Are you trading in your MS, or doing a private party sale? If selling private party, an extra set of wheels with almost new snow tires on them will help sell the car.

Maybe your car has the valet mode turned on?

This could also be due to the state of charge of the battery, and if it was warm from charging. If you only ever charge to 80% and one day you charge to over 95%, you will feel a slight boost in performance.

I purchased my S about a year ago, in October 2018. At the time they were running a promotion where every year you get 400 Kw of free supercharging. I also used someone's referral code, and got six months of free supercharging after taking delivery. So I wonder when I will get another 400 Kw...

I was using a small USB drive, barely bigger than the USB port, hardly stuck out. Was made by sandisk I think. Lots of corrupted empty files. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it did not. Was certain it was a problem with the Tesla software. It was only 32GB and filling up quickly. I decided...

I did not purchase the FSD(that I know of anyway), but got V10 last night. This morning I tried netflix out, but once I was watching something, I could not figure out how to get out of netflix so I could drive the car. Had to reboot. Is this a bug, or is there a non-intuitive way to exit?

Anyone have a seasucker and use the trunk anchor to semi-secure the bike to the car while parked? Does it actually fit in the gap without deforming anything, or compromising the seal?

The problem is that AP leaves too much of a gap, maybe the truck driver thought that you were leaving that gap for them to get into, and misjudged the space. You gotta keep that gap tight in traffic like that, by using the accelerator to move up abit. Don't even let them think they can cut in...

Did you mean to say shouldn't, instead of should?

I ordered a mini bomber rack today. So I think there are two ways I can use this on the S. 1) Mount it just behind the top of the windshield, so that all suction cups are entirely on the glass roof. I'd position the 4 suction cups over the part of the roof that you cannot see thru, where...

If it hooks up to a garden hose, its a foam gun. I started out with one of those. I'm thinking about selling mine now. Those just don't put enough air into the mix to make it light and foamy, so gravity will pull the suds off the car quickly. The suds from a foam cannon hooked up to a...

About 10 months ago, after I had ordered my tesla model S but before I had received it, I saw a model X in a parking lot obviously using autopark to back into a parking spot. He wasn't parking between two cars, instead a car and a curb. I got to watch as he curbed one of his wheels. Anyhow...

I recently got an electric powerwasher(1.2 gpm, 2300 psi), and a MTM foam canon. I also use the ONR and the two bucket method. I have noticed that when I pre-rinse and foam with the canon before using the ONR, the rinse bucket stayed clean. So clean in fact, that I decided to skip the 2nd...

For those that don't eat beef, can pork be an option?

Link to your review please?

You don't. If you stop somewhere in a public place for any length of time, I'd remove anything from the sea sucker, and then take the sea sucker off and put it in your car. So not something you'd really take a long trip with, unless you plan your stops carefully. But if someone does mess with...

I'm considering getting the two bike version(mini bomber) of the sea sucker rack for the full glass roof on my model S, so I can put two adult hybrid bikes up there and fit the trailer and trailer bike in the trunk. I've heard reports of the sea sucker cracking the glass on the model 3...

I too saw the crosstalk video and decided to take the plunge. Got thrown off by him using the wrong github link too. I got everything up and working, and did load music on there too, but I do not have it syncing. Instead of syncing the sentry files to my windows PC, I'm syncing them to a...

Yes, check this out. marcone/teslausb

The pics make it look like you are in a random parking lot out in CA somewhere... Is there anyway to secure the bike to your car to prevent theft, or do you just roll the dice and take your chances?

How much range do you loose when the bikes are on the roof of the car?

I have no idea how to do this. I could pull the mobile connector out and plug it into an electrical outlet, that's about it.

East Coast, near DC. I doubt its wind related. But here is some more info. I have alot of smart dimmer switches in my house. Like 90% of them. Only the smart dimmer switches are having this problem, and only when they are on at less than 100%. What happens is if they are on and dimmed...

This past Thursday night, a big storm rolled thru my area. Lots of rain and lighting. I came home during the middle of the storm. I waited till the storm had passed to plugin my car and charge. After we arrived home and it was still storming, we noticed the lights flickering, like they might...

What was the cost of the equipment? Does it open up any security holes? What kind of server do you have the files going to?

I've been thinking about doing this as well. TeslaUSB, right? Any issues with your setup?

So what happens if you swerve to avoid an obstacle in the road, like a tire, ladder, body, etc.? Will the car fight you and cause you to hit the obstacle? I know that on my S it has a feature where if you cross a line and your blinker is not on, it will vibrate the steering wheel to alert you...

Nothing special, I just plugged it in and it worked fine. Make sure its one of the front two ports though, the rears are power only IIRC.

Good point, this isn't worth risking my health over it.

Even if a car has advanced artificial intelligence, it is still an appliance? I wonder if Teslas will one day become self aware enough to start caring about things like damage inflicted by others, and do something about it?

My previous car, a Infiniti G37, was in good condition when I bought it used with about 36K on it. I was living in a townhouse at the time, with no garage and no dedicated parking spots. Over a few years, the nearly flawless door got over a dozen door dings, with some scratching and taking off...

Just had this happen. I just moved offices at work, and my office is next to a guy I don't know. He's from Russia I think, works on a different team. We have window offices, so we both park outside our windows where we can see our cars, and end up parking next to each other. So I heard him...

Probed?

I noticed this for the first time last night. Also on 2019.28.2. I was in a restaurant and saw it happen as I was walking back to my car. Seemed to be triggered by my key fob coming within range of the car. The passenger side turned on first, and it was like a gradual fade on - fade off...

You can do this without a Teslafi subscription. In a web browser, log in to your tesla account. Click on the history link in the upper right hand corner of the page.

Impossible, because the 1st time this happened, it was in the morning and my car was fully charged up to 80%, after having charged overnight.
