Thankfully yours looked like it either completed the update before the 12v failed or the 3 has some more robust failsafes in place to prevent MCU damage. So weird that it was the exact same update too! Was yours the original 12v battery? If so, ours were probably around the same age, as I had...

I saw a post about this site from one of the local news stations and the comments were so ignorant and ill-informed about EVs lol Hopefully this location being here will increase visibility to EVs and curb some of the negativity.

Thank you all for the insight/suggestions! Just in case this happens to anyone else, and to serve as a cautionary tale, please make sure your 12v battery is good before doing a software update, especially on older Model S'. TL;DR: It was the 12v battery after all, and I had to get the MCU...

Pulled the frunk and feel really stupid now as the 12v was sitting at 10.3v... Looks like I'll have to grab a replacement and hope the car will recover on its own or at the very least. If not, hopefully Mobile Service can redeploy once the fresh battery is in. Just really odd that I didn't get...

I was thinking of calling them to see what they recommended. No visibility in the app or via the API at all. I could pull the frunk and get a multimeter on the 12v to see what’s going on. 12v was replaced in 08-2020 but I didn’t get any “low voltage battery needs replacement” or anything this...

EDIT: False alarm, it was more than likely my 12v battery that failed during the update.... TL;DR: After doing a software update this afternoon, my 2014 Model S is undrivable and unresponsive. Full details: Got a software update notification this afternoon to install 2023.20.7 and so, as...

The Mrs was at the Quarry last Thursday and took some completely unprompted pictures of the construction (I was surprised lol) Progress is really coming along, she said there were 6 stalls installed so far and more covered

That is interesting! I looked back through my Service Center records and they never replaced the steering link on mine, only tightened the bolt on it. Last time I took out the frunk and had a look in there, mine definitely doesn't have the isolator either. Strange, as I've seen that Bjørn...

So excited for this one! Making annual trips to Angelo will finally get easier!

I was still in the used vehicle warranty period at the time so it ultimately didn't cost me anything. I can't remember for sure, but I recall the "estimate" invoice being at least $2,500 before they determined if it would be covered under the warranty or not.

Yeah, maybe it would be closer to actual market value with the $5k, but still probably too low for me to consider. The last time I did a trade-in estimate, it was $28.5k, which is absolutely laughable and I'm sure it's even lower with this program in place now. Exactly 🤣 We make pretty frequent...

This morning I received an email from Tesla offering an additional $5,000 on my vehicles trade in value to "exchange" my unlimited free Supercharging miles. I have a super early P85D with the + suspension (heck even the struts say "prototype" lol) and FUSC has saved me over $1k in the nearly 4...

They did! I asked them to tell me what it was and they said there some some grease that was needed but they didn’t elaborate very much.

Awesome news! Just curious, was there a Tow Hitch on this one? A friend ordered a Blue/Black MYLR on the same date with a similar EDD but his has a tow hitch.

Crossing my fingers that this will be opening soon, it's really coming along! The trip to Leon Springs isn't bad, but they are so overwhelmed that service has really been slipping there. Plus, this is like 3 minutes away from me lol From what I could see, they had pallets of...

That network is so dilapidated, I forget it even exists. Back when I had a Leaf, I used it all the time as they had stations at almost every movie theater here and it was $30 for a year of unlimited charging. When the pandemic hit, they doubled the price to $60 and removed many of their...

After doing some spirited driving on a mountain road, there was a spot that offered little resistance, most noticeable in AP. I made another post about it with more detail but it took about a half dozen trips to A) get them to actually acknowledge that it isn't "Standard Behavior" and B)...

I was going to just take it to Firestone or something but found a shop relatively close by that specializes in suspension mods and race tuning. I hadn't thought of taking it to a race shop, thanks for the advice! I'm very quickly learning this... The SC experience used to be so nice and now I...

Same, got 2022.20.8 last night and immediately jumped in the car this morning and still no Colorizer...

Thanks for the suggestion and input! I did an extensive inspection yesterday, took the wheels off, checked all the bushings, checked for play, and nothing was abnormal so I was thinking it was probably just the alignment. I would just go back to Tesla but I'm approaching $700 worth of...

TL;DR: Hit a pothole, got car aligned, car is still pulling to the right. What should I check? While travelling to the east coast from Texas, I hit a gnarly pothole which knocked my car out of alignment and slightly bent one of my turbine wheels (thankfully the tires were okay). To go straight...

Just FYI, I had issues with the wheel config on .6 and once upgraded to .7, and it's working now. Still no colorizer though :/

It could very well be, Tesla replaced my steering rack right before I started hearing this so maybe the one they replaced it with was faulty or at least missing the shims. Without the frunk removed, it sounds pretty much exactly like the video in this thread...

Does it make the sound when you're standing still? I just came back from a road trip and at very low speeds, my car is making a very similar sound to yours. I only really notice it when turning the wheel quite a bit in either direction which makes for very annoying parking lot maneuvers. I...

It looks like EA actually has some 500A chargers out there now according to the folks in this thread: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/testing-ccs1-adapter-on-my-myp-in-new-england.264727/ Although determining which one is which would take some investigation around the charging hardware.

Thank you for this, I was wondering what the current limit was.

149kW, that's amazing! I bet your pack was way warmed up better than mine, it was 94°F here during the charge (no preconditioning as well). We had just been running some errands around town but stopped to visit with some friends for around an hour before going to charge.

Providing another CCS1 adapter charging data point: Got to test my CCS1 adapter yesterday at an Electrify America. The stall was a 150kW stall and I charged from 30% - 90% in 34 minutes. I didn't monitor what the station said I was getting, but the Model Y said it peaked at 128kW @ 41% and...

I finally got around to testing the adapter on my 2014 Model S and had a similar experience to @GHammer. I was able to slowly charge at around 42-47kW (@ 5% SoC) but also received the warning for the arc flash. I actually hadn't read this thread or knew about the error before hand so it was a...

I don't want to parrot many of the comments that have been made here already, but really there is virtually no planning involved. My family has made 4 trips from Texas to the East Coast and for all but the first, I really did no planning. I usually punch my info into A Better Route Planner...

Very curious about this as well since my 2014 has the SC01 code and I've considered selling it. My MVPA also just lists Free Supercharging. To further muddy the waters, the Tesla Supercharger Fair Use Policy mentioned "free Supercharging for the lifetime of vehicle ownership" This at least...

Wait, is this for a new Service Center? Or at least a dedicated Tesla collision center? Either are both really welcome since our SC is always swamped.

I just happened to be on the county website for something else and noticed a pretty robust property map. While I was in there, my curiosity got the best of me and I checked out the land parcels near the proposed SC address. Looks like the same company owns these three parcels of land, LA ARCATA...

Thanks for posting this! Three of mine were missing when I recently removed my frunk liners and searched everywhere for that part number. I eventually gave up and designed and 3D printed my own :P If anyone has access to a 3D printer and needs these clips, here is the link for the file...

It worries me how quickly the Service Manager of all people did it too... Sad for sure. That would make sense about the steering rack being the source of the popping. I checked again with the borescope after I got it back and it doesn't look like the bolt I tightened was messed with (paint is...

BTW just in case anyone has a similar issue, I was able to resolve this after the FIVE service requests and some elbow grease on my part. TL;DR: This bolt that holds the intermediate shaft universal joint had loosened, causing the play that I had experienced: Full Story 4th Visit: After my...

Curious about this as well! Coincidently, the Tesla Korea store just got some CCS1 adapters in stock last night and I had a friend in Korea pick one up for me. My Model Y lists "CCS adapter support: Enabled" while my '14 Model S says "CCS adapter support: Not installed" My optimistic side is...

Thanks for raising this question and getting all of these great responses! I'm in the same boat as you and am deciding what to do. I have a very early P85D+ (11/2014 build) and really like almost everything about it. Once my wife got a Y, I started seeing all of the new features with every...

So excited for this! The only San Antonio Supercharger has been pretty full and can be quite difficult to get to sometimes.... Depending on what mapping service you use, that address could be the Kirby's Steakhouse with some prime spots: Or down the street a bit in the Mary's Grill parking lot:

One of the questions I've always had with the CT was where the chargeport was going to be. Since this hatch is only on the driver's side, I'm assuming I have my answer :P

I know it’s been a while since you last bumped, but is this still available? I’d be willing to pay for shipping. Thanks!

I posted about this in another thread but I actually made a video a few weeks ago with a J1772 Wall Connector that I got off eBay (before they were publicly sold) and tested load sharing with a HPWC. You get an error message that is straight from the user manual regardless of which setting the...

I actually made a video a few weeks ago with a J1772 Wall Connector that I got off eBay (before they were publicly sold) and tested load sharing with a HPWC. You get an error message that is straight from the user manual: Official Tesla J1772 Wall Connector - Unboxing and Review (Load sharing...

That’s great, glad that you got yours fixed (and that it wasn’t the steering rack)! thanks too for the video as now I’m going to go back and check mine with the borescope once I return back from my trip. I’m curious if there is any play in the U joint on mine or if it is all in the connection...

Oh wow, that certainly adds some complexity to this lol Honestly, I was wondering how to do this since the drive motor, 12v battery, and several other large components are right in front of/on top of it. That's one of the reasons I used borescope to diagnose it as it's remarkably hard to even...

Sentry mode is working after the update. Parked at a Sushi restaurant and had 74 sentry mode events when I returned... Apparently it thought every car that drove by was suspicious lol

After inspecting the bolt and seeing that play, I'm definitely not going to be driving it until I get it fixed. I'm as amazed as you are, especially having brought it up three times in different appointments and telling them it was getting worse over time. This could cause a serious accident if...

In order to investigate a little more closely, I got out my borescope and turned the wheel. The whole steering shaft seems to go 1:1 with the wheel until you get right here: Upon inspecting it more closely with the borescope, it does appear to be the source of the slack. Here are videos I shot...

So after taking the frunk out this weekend, I think I was able to determine what the issue is. It was very difficult to see in the dual motor model, but it looks like either bolt #7 is loose or something is wrong with the intermediate shaft/coupler. When looking at the shaft while an assistant...

I'll pull the frunk off this weekend and give it an inspection. I'll report back and let you know what I find, since this looks quite promising. Thanks so much for this info!
