If I leave the car alone for 18-36 hours, half the time give or take, when I get in the car the instrument cluster and nav/MCU are black. The car will start and drive after some prodding (gear down / brake pedal / gear down / brake pedal / etc) the lights will turn on and the car will come to...

Nosecone 2016 90D The wiper motor / mechanism was replaced under warranty when it turned on while frozen to the windscreen, several years ago. In the past 6 months the wipers will periodically just stop working, typically in the rain when they're doing their wiper thing and actually pretty...

My car's driver side B pillar is starting to look a bit worse for wear; a little worn, a little discolored, and now the alcantara has a bubble. The car turned 90k this month, so it's not been driven to the moon and back, but it's also been driven. I try to be somewhat careful getting in and...

There's some sort of lash or slop in the drive train when transitioning from on to off-throttle or off throttle to on-throttle. The car's an early 2016 90D with air suspension with 88k miles The car's still under the older style 4 year bumper to bumper warranty for a another couple months (got...

This is an early 2016 90D with the nose-cone... What are the options for repairing the mount point for parking sensors? The sensor's there, and works fine but it's kinda loose in the mounting and will sometimes get pushed into the cavity behind the bumper. It's the sensor next to the nose...

I've got a march 2016 (nosecone / pre facelift) 90D that's had the MCU2 installed. Whenever I do L2 charging, regardless of where, my car charges at one amp less than the rated capacity of the feed; at home it charges at 240v/15a, at a friend's house with a trickle charger, it charges at...

I've got a pre facelift 2016 90D that for a while has been dumping water onto the carpet whenver the AC's on. I bought my car in 2019 where the car had 45k miles on it, from Tesla used, so it's got the 4 year bumper to bumper warranty. The service center said the condensate drain was plugged...

Should I worry that the trim / gasket / rubber worm thing between the body and roof of my car is sneaking deeper under the roof in places? early 2016 nosecone metal roof 90D

Sorry if this is a repeat question -- the forum search didn't turn anything specific up... I've got a 90D with air suspension. That air suspension is doing what air suspensions do, leaking... I bought the car used in 2019 and it had less than 50k miles when I got it, so still have almost 2...

I understand that with the MCU2 upgrade, if you get the radio option, it will include XM regardless of if the original part had XM. The difference of course being that the non-xm cars won't have an XM radio antennae. Is it possible to put an XM antennae anywhere and leave the other end where...

I've got an early 2016 S90D with AP1 which means I can move my car back and forth in my driveway with my phone. It's mostly useless, but actually not totally useless. It is nice, for instance, when shoveling snow to dig out the front of the car then move it forward and shovel behind it. Same...

I've got a pre-facelift 90D; over the past couple months or longer, I rarely see over 100kw charge rates, or if I do I see them for a few moments at the start of the session. I updated to 2020.48.37 over the weekend and on my way home (after a "full to 30%" highway drive) and got this...

I've got an early 2016 / pre-facelift 90D; have had it for almost 2 years now, but last year was a pretty mild winter. I'm playing a game with myself -- "Can you go a month without charging it at home?" so far the answer is "yes, but it is tedious wasting time at the supercharger". So that's...

I was just looking under my car to see if I could even inspect the suspension elements under recall in china... Looking under my right front wheel I found this: What the heck is going on -- isn't that adhesive square (And wadded up sticker above it) the tamper sticker to list who's been...

I just bought https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TKVJ389 ; I was sold after watching the totally insane video (on the video attached to part of the product's amazon profile) of someone in bare hands plugging it into a car and an outlet then holding it under water (for only a couple seconds). Any...

I've got a pre-facelift 2016 90D. It has the gen 1 (aka "worst") 90 pack and about 56k miles. I'd had it for about a year and put about 10k miles on it. Very little but occasional supercharging, mostly charging to 90%+ on a 30a/208 charger using the "free" charger at work; sometimes charging...

So -- I recognize this is on the list of "yeah, that's a bad idea" things that are a bad idea. For example, I believe that the NEC says that you must use a thing the way it was designed to be used, which would likely include "chopping off the plug and wire-nutting the resulting wires into your...

Early 2016 90D with 53k miles... Woke up this morning, checked how hot it is outside by turning on and off the climate control on my car. Weirdly, it turned it on but then refused to turn it off. Hm. Go out to the car and the app won't unlock the doors either, but will open and close rear...

My wife found a puppy and voluntold me to get it. As "luck" would have it, she (the puppy) was about 370 miles away. Since covid begain, 90% of my driving has been moving the car back and forth in the driveway to either charge it or give the kinds space to ride their bikes (Yay, a use for...

I know it's probably not a good idea to hit the "update firmware" button in the middle of a pandemic but I haven't had anything else to do besides home school the critters, day drink, and try to remember to change my shirt for the daily conference calls... Eventually I just had to push the...

There are a ton of EVSE kits like EVSE Electric Vehicle Charger EV Level 2 220Volt 16A for Leaf Volt Prius | eBay (not an endorsement). $150 for a 16a/240v EVSE from random no-name Chinese vendors. Does anyone have experience with these cheapo setups? I've got a 240/16a setup at home and so...

I've got a March 2016 S90D (pre facelift, non-performance); I've had it for 8ish months and 7000 miles. In the time that I've had it I've seen the battery slightly improve in "rated" capacity. When I first got the car, it had at most a rated range of 276; I filled it almost all the way up once...

I've got a pre-facelift AP1 S made in early 2016... The service center replaced my passenger side claymore when I had it in the shop for something else. While doing so they managed to crack my windshield. I've heard horror stories about replacing windshields both in the S and also in general...

So the new "don't blow up the battery" regen profile is aggressively lame. I guess I'm on board with not blowing up the batteries but now I'm going to wear out my brakes because I won't get full regen basically ever. To those who understand how these things work better than I do -- I imagine...

The site Connectivity says that What happens to my Premium Connectivity subscription if I sell or trade-in my car? If Premium Connectivity is included on your car at no cost, it will be removed automatically at the time of trade-in. If the car is sold privately, Premium Connectivity will...

What's the proper "resting" state of the front coolant louvers over the fog lights? It is slightly below freezing; I've driven the car a little but not much and put it back in the driveway and noticed that one louver (left) was closed and the other was open. Am I looking at frozen louvers or...

My car's about to turn 50k miles. Has anyone noticed a difference in getting support "in-warranty" between a factory and "not-cpo" warranty? My car managed to pick up a bolt in a tire and I was close to a service center so I just went there to get it fixed and they said that they're "mostly"...

I'm a little disappointed with myself for not being able to find an answer to this and having to ask but ... I googled and such but didn't find any obvious answers. Are there reasonable replacement "microUSB" and "usb C" cables available from monoprice of amazon? If so would you care to share...

My car has the "rusty rear hatch strut" problem; I opened a service ticket and it was summarily shut with "Struts are expected to rust" response. Am I going to get blacklisted with Tesla if I reopen the service ticket? My feeling about this particular issue is that it is a safety issue, it...

Sorry for the poor quality image Google Maps Chestnut Hill, MA

I've been running my car without AC and am seeing 20%-30% improvement in range / efficiency. A 25 minute low speed 8 mile commute that was taking a pretty consistent "12 miles" of range is now taking only "7 miles" of range. My 30 mile average power consumption has dropped from between 340...

So -- what are the compatibility matrix WRT wheels and TPMS? I'd like to use my dual spoke wheels with snows and ALY97755U20/190190 Tesla Model S Wheel Silver Painted #105933700A these with my current tires. This site says they're for 2017 and up and I know there are suspension differences...

At the start of June I bought a used 90D from tesla. Specifically a March 2016 S90D. Love the car except I got rear-ended the first week I got it. Looks like a Camry dent but sadly to the aluminum not the bumper. Was quoted at $4k to pull it out and repaint it (and replace the bumper), the...
