Fob firmware updates are rare, and I think most of those times, they go unnoticed because people often put the fob in the cup holder area anyway. (That's where Tesla said the fob should be when getting a firmware update. I am only guessing that's what yours got, because you said you...

@Phil Stasik, That was an excellent post. Thank you in behalf. I don't have 2020, must ask. You can add/remove the fob on a 2020 S? I thought that started with 2021> Good to know. I see on your post that you rebooted (#5) after you added it back. I believe it would have cleared the...

@Rocky_H, I now, think you are right about a smaller amount for a while. Then we didn't hear anything for a long time. I think aged memory is catching up with me.

Could be. Sounds some what like MCU2. MCU2 says processor is Atom, not Tegra. LTE came out in new cars in April 2015. So, they have had 8 1/2 years to have done that by itself. Especially considering 3G was turned off by at&t almost 4 years ago. (Feb 2020, if I recall correctly).

New Subject, Look on your screen under Software, and pull up the properties of your car - the MCU. You will breath fresh life into your car with a MCU upgrade to MCU2. I am guessing, but I suspect yours is still MCU1. If I had your car, and was considering spending $2500-3000 on it, I would...

I don't know how best to pursue this. We almost never hear of upper management above the SCs, but I think that's who you need. If you can, I'd visit more than one SC. Maybe you will get a different answer. And might as well as for free Supercharging. I mean, would, they want to sell you...

Congratulations on the Tesla. Good. Might be useful to you to spend some time here on TMC searching for 40 kWh threads. I think you will find some useful info. When the 40 was new Tesla told owners they could unlock from 40 to 60 for $10,000. This worked/was true for several years. Some time...

Yes. The car doesn't "see" any trigger unless you can so-to-speak make it recognize something. I tried updating/saving a profile, but that didn't trigger a response. I also went through the menu and performed a SHUTDOWN. And I sat in the car for a good two minutes before pressing the brake...

All this just to get crumbs out of the seats? Actually there's a better way that is "EM sanctioned" You can take your car in and request the "rotisserie service". When not barbecuing ICE dealership owners, they use the rotisserie to shake crumbs out of seats and credit cards or parking passes...

Passenger door handle stopped presenting. I bought the kit on Amazon (paddle gear and two micro switch harness) and later bought a used door assembly on eBay and that fixed it. But here's my suggestions if you are going to do this. Its not hard. Watch videos to gain insight. I watched several...

I owed an update about this. Bottom line: Worked. Made a big different. Screen looks brand new. Well worth twice/thrice the cost of the lamp. I bought two of the lamps that show in the Teslatap.com article. I want to make sure its understood. I left these lamps plugged in and 4" from the...

What calibration is required for replacement handles? Here's an idea that I hope everyone finds useful. I was watching Rich Rebuilds handle removal video. There's a part where he uses the window switch to move the glass up and down to access bolts and get the handle out. He plugged the...

I can't simply let that go without my two cents. I have to first ask, have you looked in the manual? You didn't say you did. I will admit, I already know this (from reading one of the previous versions of the manual for my car), so I am not going to look at a more recent version to see if it...

Me. er. Me too. I was one of the first to get MCU2 - that was Mar '20. And yes, the yellow border has returned on mine too. I reached out to my bud, Teslatap and he has some experience with this. He fixed his and can fix it again if needed. And he did it for just a little more than $20...

Hi, based solely on your number of posts, I am guess you recently go your S. I'd like to introduce you to one of the best sources of Tesla info around. Can cost you ZERO. My bud, Teslatap maintains a portal with bushels and pecks full of Tesla info. Look around when you have time. In the...

@MagicDave , Excellent report. This is first insightful explanation of assets there since we here first hear the Superchargers were going to be installed. Thanks very much.

Cost? Price?

If I were in your shoes, since this is odd behavior, I would sit in my car with both fobs and swap the batteries between both fobs. To me that's a simple test of the fob (which likely has no problem) and test that new battery. I like and agree with what @doghousePVD , regarding knockoffs. I...

Yeah. In case this has not been covered recently, last time we went through this, the trick is - both fobs. Move both fobs into the car at the same time. (Useful to change both batteries at the same time, but not required.) With both fobs in the car at the same time, within a minute or so...

P.S. Too late to fix it myself. But "my projects" should read "any projects".

@TerranApart , The Honolulu C&C Dept of Plans and Permitting has had some serious scandals over the past couple of years. It literally stopped forward motion on my large projects. The Superchargers and DCFC likely were impacted. While not specifically not named, those projects were likely...

Accepting the quote is just that - a quote. You've not committed to the work until you sign for the work. Besides, I doubt any tech wants to become famous for voiding all common sense and installing a MCU1 eMMC update daughterboard and reinstalling a MCU1 after removing a MCU2 unit. (He would...

@OK-S , yep, @Krash is dead on right. Their records simply don't know your car now as MCU2, Just decline the offer. And if they started working on it, before they even did anything, they would notice its not needed.

I agree with @SigRed12 I can share you excitement by such a great deal, but I doubt many will benefit from your comment, unless they are looking under her for information like that. You are officially encouraged to create a new thread and brag about your deal so others will benefit from it...

@KyleDay, Kyle Day You DA MAN. Always been DA MAN. And still DA MAN. I can't guess where we wouldn't be without you. Good to see a comment from you.

Ahhh, I had not thought of those explanations. I guess, and I guess, I guess wrong, 'cause I thought it meant: OBC = Overtaken By Comments.

Thanks. Interesting. From Google Maps it looks like that is a residential high rise that's adding owner/resident charging. Gonna make a leap here. Likely not going to be public charging. It may help in a small manner by taking moving some cars currently publicly charging to private access...

You might be able to get your 40 upgraded to a 60 - for free. I encourage you to drive to your SC and ask. You have a rare one there. Do you charge to 100%? Its okay to do so, and does not harm the battery. You might find it interesting. From early Jan '13 to April '13, there were about 400...

Nothing wrong with your car or the e-brake. Its oxidation that occurs between pads and rotor. A slight coat or rust creeps up because "ya rode 'em and put him up wet" as we used to say about a good horse. Common occurrence. Likely to happen again. Just truck on.

Good for you. A few facts for you, just in case. Of the first 10,000 or S's that were built, about 4% (400) were 40's. They stopped taking orders around mid April '13 and answered everyone's question "what happens now", with "we are going to give you a software limited 60. And they did...

Please enjoy your stay here. Best to you.

You are going to jinx me by wanting me to share my secrets. Bullet 1 generally ignore you if you are behaving Bullet 2 generally/usually not pay you any attention unless there a call involving you. Bullet 3 can't answer that one, no experience parking illegal Bullet 4 no experience as I...

Shucks. (At me, not you). We had a thread here in the Hawaii section on that new location. And someone had informed us of it by posting a link to the Honolulu Permit request for it. I can't find the thread after quickly browsing though 6 pages. But its here. Someone will find it and help me...

Yes, you are correct. Kahala Hotel is a very nice place. One of these days (soon we hope), talking about Aiea is going to get confusing. The Superchargers (6 spaces) are outside one of the main door of the closed Sears (Downtown) at a very large shopping center called Pearl Ridge. Pearl...

Yes, not uncommon and ever since it opened Dec '21. Even as busy as it is, we think ourselves fortunate have them. We've been lobbying since 2014. Sorry you had to wait that long, but like said, its like that most daylight hours. FYI, those of us that can charge at home, come by those SCs...

Aloha, Welcome to paradise. Sadly, no, you can not get by (as far as has been reported) any Inspection Stations without the front plate. After you've been here awhile, you will notice how many Teslas though, don't have a front plate. (I'm on my 10th year). I recommend the Service Center. Who...

I freely defer to your expertise sir. I am not a parking lot aficionado. My source is the Kahala parking rate signage. Scroll back up to post #15, please. One of the last pictures at the bottom of that post have those rates. Must do a little calculation to get that (correction) $ 18 parking...

And unless Kahala has changed the parking fee that they posted on a board when this first started; parking is min $25, or $25 min spent in hotel restaurant or gift shop. That fee is in addition to the cost of charging at the Supercharger.

Friend of mine, had a Y on order, and delayed delivery. When he was ready to take it, he was lucky, he learned that Tesla had removed the parking sensors on the 2023 Y/3, and he didn't like that. He learned before he took delivery and cancelled the purchase. Then went and found a 2022 3 and...

And what And what leads you to believe that he did not tell the legislature that? And it looks like it made no difference? Looks like they ignored him, if he did tell them. As outspoken as EM is, I have no doubt he attempted to persuade and maybe some arm twisting to fix the dealership in...

Hmmm, I guess no issue taking delivery in Texas? I guess someone worked out a "deal" allowing it? I remember a while back, there was some issues with Texas? True? No so true? But good, for you, you had no problems.

Is the car in Valet mode? Sounds like it.

Nothing you pointed out is a surprise. Frankly, you should be pleased your settings were gone. Over 5+ years the car collects and retains residual out-of-date trash files that are no longer deleted or purged. Bringing those settings forward would include these files. You got a fresh start...

Thanks. Clearly, I have not kept up. Good to know.

You are not going to like this. Its uncommon for Tesla to provide that type assistance. From our experience, they seldom, if ever share maintenance records, charging history, even original details features with owners. There's been reports here, over the years, of people considering buying a...

@mtycks, yes we want to know. We all like to hear outcomes, regardless if positive or negative. Its mental filed in the vault in case someone else has a like problem. And we "relish" to hear when it works out well. Glad for you.

Yayyyy, I wonder if I will ever see it in person. Hmm...

No. That was tried by owners 7-8 years ago. Cost prohibitive. See the Y and buy a different one.

My suggestion is, take all your current paperwork you have, (the more the merrier) and go to the DMV. Behave disorganized and confused. 50/50 chance they won't even miss the Certificate of Origin. First S that I registered, they pushed the Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin back at me, soon...

Thank you for the follow up. We do appreciate it.
