Your original post said "after a few hours the problem was gone " referring to the gps. Regardless I still think your trying to tie together unrelated events.

I would hardly call these "failures" as they resolved themselves. Sounds like typical Tesla glitches to me regardless of the time frame.

Doutful, I've had all those things happen on my S's. The GPS one is common if the car loses satellite connection for a long time, it just happened to me when I parked in a parking garage in downtown San Francisco for three days.

How did you order? Did you order just tires or tires and rims? The on-line order page is pretty clear it includes mounting at the service center. Mobile techs dont have the required tools to mount and balance tires. I would say you dont read any complaints because most of us dont buy tires...

The lurching is almost certainly coming from a rear toe arm. Either a bad bushing or an undertorqued bolt. I've had it happen twice on my '14 and both times it was an undertorqued inner toe arm bolt. This is the bolt used to adjust the toe and I have a feeling they dont always get it tight...

I use TeslaFi but currently they dont use the Tesla login credentials. Instead they have you login to your Tesla account and generate an encryption token that you enter to their system.

I'm an IT systems and network admin and always use minimum 10 character complex passwords and this is the first time I've ever had an account compromised. I guess I had my guard down not being aware Tesla offered MFA. It does seem like a database was compromised somewhere.

Since I use an Android phone I just picked Google Authenticator. Apple has one also.

Yes, myself and two other people that I know of have had wall connectors ordered from their account without their knowledge. Mine was set to be delivered to an address in Georgia. My credit card company caught it and denied the charge and called me. I was able to cancel the charger and secure...

Yes, this is the failure mode of the lamp. It will go out, give the warning but will restart when the headlights are turned off and back on again. This cycle will become more frequent as the lamp ages and gets worse. Last I knew, Teslas policy was to replace the whole assembly for 1000 bucks...

Model 3's combine the MCU and the FSD computer boards into one chassis. The reason those are so cheap and plentiful is that they contain the older HW2.5 FSD computer board in them so it wouldn't be a direct assembly swap (pretty sure all 3's had HW3 by 2019). Used MCU2/HW3 computers look like...

I think you are operating under a series of assumptions that may not be valid. (a) Where did you hear Tesla is "highly regarded"? It's really not when talking about reliability. (B) all electronics have a failure rate and this one is very low, you are just unlucky here. (c) you are replacing an...

I've used RoadWarrior in the past but now I just use Google My Maps. I believe Google will import directly from CSV but I do a little column cleanup and convert to Google Sheets before importing to Maps.

The system is not broken. As I posted in your other thread, in 9 years, 3 cars, 300k miles, over 2000 charging sessions at 1500 different superchargers, I have never been assesed an Idle fee.

None of our existing tools does routing so I use the "lasso" tool in Tableau to export data from groups of unvisited sites to be able to import that into mapping/routing apps.

It's not unusual for cars of this age to not charge all the way to 100% even on level 2 connections. My '14 would only go to 96% until I did several <20% to full charges now it goes to 100 again for now. My '15 stops at 98%. It's the cars BMS doing this, not the supercharger. Also, as point...

I would highly recommend rocker panel ppf. I've seen cars with the paint completely worn off in front of the rear wheels. I have both mud flaps and ppf, the mud flaps didn't do much to reduce the material impacts. I did the ppf myself with this kit...

Then sell it and move on. Life is too short to be angry over something you can control. I hate Elon but love my Teslas, all three of them

Century? Millennium!

Took a break from my break to go to a concert at the Seahawks stadium, the largest ever at this venue with 81k in attendance. Check-ins for 2023-08-27 - Renton - SW 41st St, WA (#1501)

Oh how I wish we could get some rain. We've had zero rain at my house for 15 weeks. Living in a forest is a little scary right now.

Congrats on 1500 and re-taking 6th. My reign was only three weeks so I don't have the buckle to pass on.

Hertz at nearby PHX uses the Tempe SC to charge their cars.

Normal behavior. Tesla doesn't use a traditional rain sensor since introduction of AP2 instead they tried to use a forward facing camera with mixed results.

Had that happen on my 2015 85D. Service menu showed compressor overheat and overcurrent errors. Needed new compressor.

Both of my S's of that vintage always show those three codes and HVAC works fine. In researching them it seems all cars of that age display those errors so probably not relevant to your issue.

Back home. Early in my Tesla ownership, I did the 350 miles from Winnemucca NV to Bend OR before there were Superchargers in Burns OR and McDermitt NV. It felt like an adventure back then, yesterday it was just another drive. Check-ins for 2023-08-04 - McDermitt, NV (#1499) - Bend - SW...

I was wondering if anyone picked up on that. You win! String Cheese Incident in a nice little outdoor amphitheater. Saw Katy Perry at the Resorts World theater in Vegas. Gotta love an over the top Vegas show.

Made my way out of SoCal to Vegas. Caught a concert in Vegas and then on to Sandy UT for another concert. Unfortunately, the UT concert was cut short by a huge thunderstorm. Check-ins for 2023-08-02 - Azusa, CA (#1487) - Barstow - E Virginia Way, CA (#1488) - Yermo - Sunrise Canyon Rd, CA...

Yea, this country boy's opinion is we're all nuts for subjecting ourselves to the insanity that is SoCal. Chula Vista was a strech goal for the day, luckily I timed the LA area well and had little delays.

Hey! Let's go drive all over the Los Angeles area all day long just for fun...Said nobody ever... but that's what I did today. Caught a concert in Reno the night before last and came over the Sierras and down to LA. Took CA Hwy108 Sonora pass over for the first time and it was fantastic (made up...

The worst place to get information about Tesla is Elon Musk.

FYI everyone, the Tesla nav and app has the pin for this supercharger in the wrong place. The nav has it on the west end of the Home Depot parking lot when it's actually accross the street from the east side of the HD lot. Supercharge.info, Google and Plugshare all have it in the right place.

Picked up a couple after a concert in Portland. Check-ins for 2023-07-27 - Portland - N Pavilion Ave, OR (#1451) - Clackamas, OR (#1452)

Enjoy, Cuthbert Amphitheater is a very nice venue. I saw Blues Traveler there last night.

That's the problem, it's not showing in the in-car nav (at least not on mine).

Had same with one of my headlamps on my '15 85D. Replaced lamp and all has been good since. It's recommended replacing both lamps at the same time. I didn't since the other side had just had the whole headlight assembly replaced due to a deer hit. The new lamp was noticeably brighter.

Got the new tire on and hit my last two SC's for this trip that I missed yesterday due to the tire mishap. Home tomorrow. Check-ins for 2023-07-18 - Cameron Park, CA (#1449) - Grass Valley, CA (#1450)

Stayed in the Union Square portion of San Francisco for the weekend and walked a large chunk of the city, it was...interesting. Pretty fun having the Deadheads mixed in with the indigenous folks. Got skunked at the San Fran-16th street SC, that one should probably be marked temp closure till...

Yea, I'm at the three Dead &Company Final Tour closers at Oracle Park. Eric Johnson is a monster! I saw him as part of the Hendrix Experience tour a few years back.

It's a relatively recent addition. Not yet available (if ever) on MCU1 cars.

Marked temp closure this morning, no one else was there and I couldn't get any of the stalls to work.

In the bay area this weekend for a trio of concerts. Check-ins for 2023-07-14 - Ukiah - N State St, CA (#1439) - San Rafael, CA (#1440) - San Leandro, CA (#1441)

Finally picked up the three pins in my backyard on my way to see Colonel Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade. Looks like I missed @AZ Ed at Scappoose by about an hour. Check-ins for 2023-07-09 - Ridgefield, WA (#1436) - Scappoose, OR (#1437) - Salem - Mission St SE (SC), OR (#1438)

Your car has a problem. It's somewhere between the driver seat and the steering wheel. I suggest you have someone look at it ASAP before it hurts someone.

Yea yea yea, I've been a supercharging slacker as evidenced by my ranking drop. My head and wallet still have a post wedding hangover.

Geez, you didn't even give me a chance to get out of bed.😄

You have to physically remove the handle assembly and adjust the microswitches. It's a very tedious operation. I would just have service replace the door handle with a current updated version. It costs $300.

Normal on V2 supercharger. If the handle gets too hot the system will sense this and reduce the charge power. Some folks will carry a damp rag to put on the handle to cool it and return to full power.

Sigh.....I guess I'll put the #7 plaque in the mail tomorrow. 😟
