2012 very old model s 85. no cameras no AP. Door handle would not eject. Replaced by Tesla about 2 years ago. I bought a rebuild kit, put it back together and not it opens less often. Before I worked on it they woule eject 1 in 10 times, now it is close to 1 in 100. And then there is...

2019.40.2 just now

Scheduled a service appt. Really thought they would fix it with an OTA upgrade. Instead, they sent a tech out. The tech said his orders were to inspect my car and turn on auto-present. Imagine his surprise when I told him I did not have the tech package. He took notes and tried to open a...

If the car goes to sleep for long enough, like 5 or 6 hours, the handles will work again one time and then not work. It worked at 3PM when I moved it from my regular parking space to the charging spaces at work. It worked one time, and then it's back to the status quo.

When you have a car that can actually do something with the update. For us, it's like "Oh look what the kids got for Christmas!"

No the graph does no go to zero. It goes from 250 miles to 235 miles. 2012 model s 85 no Tech, no d, no signature 2019.32.2.1 had a real bad effect on my range jusand itt continues to get worse. I've lost 10 miles since May and 6 of those 10 miles were between today and September 14th!

Replaced battery in fob no change. Powered car off for an hour. When powered on, it worked first time. Has not worked since. Passive entry I believe is part of the tech package and I do not have that. that is where the handles auto present themselves as you walk to the car. Scheduled a...

That feature is called something like "auto present" and it is part of the "tech" package that was available to early model s owners. I think some part or all of the stuff in the tech package is just part of the standard model s now. But I don't know that for sure.

2012 Model S 85 No tech, not dual, not signature. Prior to this update, when I would walk up to the vehicle, I could touch the door handles and they would eject. This functionality no longer works. I can still use the fob, click it twice and the door handles will eject. There is nothing wrong...

@jimmythefrack I was looking at the voltage numbers displayed in the car.

I see fluctuation from 240 to 247 volts. Percentage wise, that is on the order of about 3%. (2.8) I charge at night because it's coolest and I get a killer break from the utility. (Mostly because of the utility) :) I've seen elsewhere that the voltage in Arizona is "cranked" at night to...

In February, I purchased a used 2012 model S. I immediately spent $1200 on new tires and then on Friday I spend $2800 on a new MCU. When I dropped it off on Tuesday of last week, I was given $200 in uber credits. I was also told I would receive $100 more per day my car was in the shop. I...

Previous to Friday, I was on 2019.16.2, upgraded @ 5/24

The voltage was fluctuating from 242 to 245. it usually steady at around 242. Thank you.

My 2012 model s with dual chargers was charging much slower (12 vs 24MPH) than normal last night after upgrading to 2019.20.4.3

I dunno if it is the heat, my mcu swap or if they just broke it, but my charging is swinging between 12 and 24mph when hooked to my home charger. It used to charge consistently at 24 mph. I don't remember what I was at before, but now I'm at 2019.20.4.3. same wall charger. New mcu with LTE...

They could put it in a socket and put a screw down clip on it. Plus, you still have to get physical access to remove the part and removing the MCU ain't child's play. I do see your point, though. Vibration and heat/cold would make regular socket a nonstarter. Plus, I suppose, corrosion over...

Did they hint at how much it cost out of warranty to repair?

I do not know the answer. Here is what I (think I) do know: My car is 2012. It has 56K miles on it. I bought it used in Feb 2019 with 48K miles on it. I use TeslaFi data logger I think someone else said if you use a logger like fi or spy it will happen faster. (Dunno if this applies to the...

If yours is under warranty, have them come pick it up ASAP and get it fixed!

Gyeah. Mine won;t charge either. I hope it has enough juice to release the parking brake! Looking t taking out a 401k loan to get it fixed.

Unhooking the 12v battery for a min and then reconnecting did not help. It's dead, Jim. I also unhooked the fireloop to no avail. (I've reconnected it) It probably needs the MCU replaced. I don;t want to, though because this one has no bubbling or yellow edge. If I had to guess, I'd say...

17" screen is much hotter than the rest of the car.

Tried to see if the touch was functional, but the screen dead and the touch WAS NOT functional. And the screen still does not work. Guess I'm looking up the disconnect procedure for the 12v battery!!

BLAH! Same as last time. 2019.16.2 73d3f3c I was also wondering about failed update but have no evidence to support that.

Ouch!

Damn. So my 19" screen has shrunk to 17"!? When did Tesla do that? (jk) Yes, no lights or flickering that I can see at all. Gonna try a supercharge as that was suggested by a post I saw somewhere. Maybe I'm just making it up, but I am pretty sure I saw that somewhere.

Cannot power down the car without using the touch screen. Another defeat, snatched from the jaws of victory!

My 19" screen is dead. The car can drive, can charge. Responds to rebooting instrument screen, does not respond at all to rebooting the 19" screen. Brakes or no brakes. I have TeslaFi and it can still see the car and interact with it. Does anyone have any ideas or am I looking at financing a...

If you haven't signed anything yet, I say find another.

Thank goodness for quartzite, az! We left Mesa, az with 223 miles of charge. Blew past the chargers in Buckeye, figuring w6ed be ok to quartzite... Just barely... if you're i going to California from Mesa in a 7 year old model s 85 and you have crosswinds and you need to use AC, don't pass...

Very informative post. Thank you very much!

2014 P85 Battery Degradation - Normal? I found this nearly identical question asked and it has answered all my questions. My batteries are will within the normal range and I'm not due for a free replacement. Pffft.

Noob here I have a 2012 Model S 85. I don't know if it a D, I am pretty sure it is not a P. Approximately 54000 miles. Bought it used at 49900. Dual chargers 80A. I think I have a REAL old one. Last 5 of VIN are P02618. What kind of range should I be getting? Factory range is 300mi, 10%...
