    Tesla Update 2021.44.25.2 Issues

    My complaints from the legacy car side are minor: Need the slider for the music player to be bigger and more responsive. It’s inconsistent right now. The directions when navigating should be a shade or two more opaque. The moving map underneath makes it difficult to read the smallish print...

    What’s under the frunk of your 2013?

    In case you were wondering what’s under there - Pulled mine apart to look at the air suspension lines:

    Any pics of new Tempest wheels on a Nosecone S?

    These are a square set from an earlier, non Plaid car. No spacers.

    Holy crap Tidal makes the audio system come ALIVE.

    Am I the only one new Tidal subscriber who’s noticing nearly every curated “popular” playlist is 95% rap or Adele? I find I have to do a lot of specific searching to find the other content. Spotify’s mixes seem to be easier in that regard while in motion.

    Holy crap Tidal makes the audio system come ALIVE.

    That’s all well and good, but no shuffle function? Cmon, man!

    New Las Vegas Showroom

    Any additional service capacity is sorely needed. Soonest appointment available in the app for the current LV SC is 2nd week in November! Unfortunately this means I’m headed elsewhere for a set of tires.

    Sky Force is a great game, btw. Had to pry the kids out of the car last night to go to bed.

    Unexpected upgrade at delivery

    No FM radio, and max range is just over 300 rated @ 100% according to the display.

    Seems normal to me.

    Yeah. Don’t move. I make an effort to be completely still while in the wash tunnel

    Integrated Center Console Install

    Pull straight down on the front to remove the cubby under the screen. It has 2 metal retaining clips on the front, and two plastic tabs on the back.

    Removing Stock subwoofer

    Did anyone ever install the newer version of the 8” soundqubed sub? I’m looking for a mostly drop in replacement.

    Any pics of new Tempest wheels on a Nosecone S?

    It’s been about 3000 miles and yes, but.... It could absolutely be a product of milder temperatures and differences in the tire compound.

    Unexpected upgrade at delivery

    Yeah - point being, the car came with a few more options that weren’t on the website or configuration details: MCU2, FSD computer, high amp charger upgrade, EAP

    Unexpected upgrade at delivery

    The car didn’t come with FSD, but it does have the FSD computer. I was expecting to see HW 2.0 or 2.5 if I was lucky.

    Unexpected upgrade at delivery

    This week, I took delivery of a used 2017 S 100D. We’re keeping the 2013 as well, so we’re all electric now ⚡️ It seems all you hear are the bad stories and how much Tesla sucks, how their employees don’t care, how incompetent, etc. This has not been my experience. After looking for some...

    Anyone have squeaky suspension?

    My front air suspension squeaks like a cheap mattress going over speed bumps, especially when it’s cold outside.

    Model S Battery Replacement

    Also curious to know the total cost. And if you are paying for a full replacement pack, I would think it should one that is completely new, not at all degraded. The warranty replacement packs were only required to be as good as what they were replacing.

    How many of you had Door handle issues on your Model S?

    In two years, I rebuilt one due to noise on my 2013 S, but not a failure. The tiny spring was misaligned on the shaft. All of mine see heavy use as a family hauler. My car is garaged 90% of the time at home and work. I wonder if those with multiple failures have cars that spend more time exposed...

    Deer damage - D+V in sterling va?

    D&V did a fantastic job on my S when it was rear ended last year. Paint is perfect and the service was top notch.

    South of the Border, SC

    I agree to a point. When I’m traveling with the family, I generally want more than a quick in and out, especially when food is involved. On the many road trips we’ve been on, we tire quickly of the MTO cuisine, especially when there are no tables available for seating.

    South of the Border, SC

    I always thought South of the Border on I95 would be an ideal location for EV charging. I’ve stopped there many times over the years, and there’s way more to do there than the typical Sheetz and WaWa parking lots. I’m sure the various business owners would greatly benefit from the additional...

    5G is coming this year...will TESLA offer an upgrade

    I’d absolutely pay for a 5G upgrade for my MCU2 equipped, preAP 2013 MS. Reducing loading times between sources and streaming video would be nice

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    Had the MCU2 upgrade done on my 2013 today. What a difference! Still showing as “coming soon” on the website, but 100% can confirm it’s available for the older pre-AP cars now.

    How to fix: Friction in center console

    You can still order the Tesla installed console through a service request in the app. I just had it done a couple weeks ago after it vanished from the website.

    Failed Rear Lower Control Arm / Service Bulletin SB-19-31-001

    That’s what I’m thinking. If their supply chain is efficient enough, the parts arrive just in time to build the cars so they aren’t sitting on huge stockpiles of parts and the associated storage issues. In that case it would be Fairly easy to identify the exact cars affected by a known bad lot...

    Failed Rear Lower Control Arm / Service Bulletin SB-19-31-001

    Could it also be the case that there was a bad batch of a particular part number, and they know which cars that particular run went into?

    Failed Rear Lower Control Arm / Service Bulletin SB-19-31-001

    Interesting: My June 2013 built car has the old control arm part numbers. I asked Tesla to verify if my VIN was affected by this particular TSB, and if so, would happily pay for a preemptive replacement. They came back and said I was in the clear. Saved a few bucks by checking first

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    My pre AP S85 is scheduled for the upgrade next Tuesday. Got the notification in the app that it was available for my VIN on Saturday.

    Can you identify this sound?

    Nobody?

    Can you identify this sound?

    My car makes this noise fairly often. I can’t tie it to any particular circumstance - seems to happen randomly and for random amounts of time. Sometimes a few seconds, sometimes for the entire drive. It’s coming from inside the dash. When I’ve asked Tesla - never seems to do it when they are...

    That’s what I get for procrastinating

    The OEM fit and finish is outstanding. My seat no longer rubs and squeaks against the console. Now I have quality rear cupholders, plus deep storage/cup holders in front and the OEM wireless charging for my phone. I had an aftermarket drop in console before, and there is no comparison.

    That’s what I get for procrastinating

    Update! I had the premium center console installed by a mobile tech last week. After not being able to get it in the Tesla shop, I set up a service visit via the app. They were able to order and install no problem. Very happy!

    Center Console on 2013 Model S

    With final specs revealed anyone putting a deposit on a Lucid?

    Is it fair to call their specs final since the car is not yet in full production?

    Tempest wheel covers

    How do the Tempest wheel covers attach? Wondering if they would fit on my 2013 base 19s to improve efficiency on long trips.

    MS Center Console Insert

    That’s a nice down payment. $300 is more realistic.
