Coming from a new 2022 Model Y LR owner (previous 2016 S 90D): Phantom braking - no need to say more, except the 2016 S did not have this issue. Not once. Poor lane decisions - There are a few areas where a turn lane appears. with solid white lines on both sides, a big white turn arrow on...

The models with actual hardware differences are Performance, and Long Range. What you have selected there is a Long Range with a $2k (US) software performance boost. The actual Performance model has different motors to drive more power and less range than even the Long Range with the...

Tesla's up until early 2016 literally didn't even have a center console, let alone a center console tray! I recommend the Tesla set, as all of the others are full of little nooks and crannies which makes it difficult to fit larger items, including glasses/sunglasses.

Just re-iterating, for me the seats are incredibly comfortable overall, except the butt portion just feels too small. And I don't have a large booty!

I think the issue is the flat part of the butt portion of the seat just isn't very wide. I find the seats incredibly comfortable (soft vegan leather, thick but not too soft padding, side bolsters feel about right, length of seat is not too short, etc), except for width of the butt part of the...

I've said this before, that the general concept of the UI is fine, but that it also needs a lot of tweaks. A lot of them. Having said that, the one item that just drives me bonkers is the inconsistencies all throughout the UI. Take the horrible screenshot below (sorry) of the climate control...

Wait, what's the issue on 1-year premium connectivity? I just took delivery of my LR the end of Dec, and it included 1 year free

New LR Y's are 6 months out, and Perf Y's are 3 months out. So, as a previous poster said, you will definitely get the current upgrades (processor, 12v battery, etc), but you may or may not get the next wave of upgrades like ventilated seats or new batteries (whether adding range or reducing...

I'm a bit confused about the difference between a .xsq file and a .fseq file. Some of the projects Tesla users have worked on and are available for download include a .xsq file and no .fseq file. Do you have to convert the .xsq file or something like that?

and I just can't do it. She's just not ready for us to own only EV's ( I have an S and a new Y). I shop for her for an ICE, or hybrid, and I can't help but think why the hell anyone would buy one of those anymore. It's not a snobbery thing, it just feels like going from an iphone to a corded...

Thanks for the great write-up. I was in a similar position as you, a long time driver of pretty great and expensive cars, both luxury and sporty. I dipped my toe into Tesla a few years back with a used S. It blew me away. I just a few weeks ago took delivery of a 2022 LR Y to replace the S...

Ah ok, I had been using an adapter myself, and was not getting power out of any of the USB C ports. I finally found a USB C lightning cable and it did work. It seems crappy they took away data capability in all of the ports except the glovebox, but if I'm really honest I doubt I would ever use...

Ok, so my '22 LRY was delivered 12/23, and I've been trying various items in the non-glovebox USB ports. I do have the ports, and wireless charging, but I don't seem to get either data OR power from the other 4 USB ports. I know that doesn't seem to make any sense, but it's like the 4 ports...

Does anyone make a tray similar to Tesla that doesn't have a bunch of nooks, crannies, coin holders, dividers, holes, hangars, etc? I just want a simple tray like Tesla sells, but Tesla is out of stock. Every other tray I see is full of a bunch of stuff that will just get in the way.

LR Blue/Black - no other options

In September, it was showing Oct delivery In October, it was showing Nov delivery In November, it was actually within the delivery window (like Nov 18th showed Nov 15-30) In December, it showed Dec 18-31, literally this was yesterday Now, it shows January. WTF?

Man, all of these deliveries happening are depressing me. I ordered 07/18 and still don't have a VIN. Nothing out of the ordinary either - LR 5 Seater Blue/Black, no other options. Live pretty close to Fremont too.

Great thanks. Sounds like these must have been replacements for the originals, which I suspected. Will take it in to see what the issue is and hopefully a simple repair.

My 03/16 production date S has a slow leak in one of the tires. I've been around long enough to know that probably means something like a nail or worse, which means it can be fixed, or not. Looks like decent tread still on the tires, so guessing these are not the originals. Ok, I understand...

It is a decent price. I paid $54k a few months back for a '16 90D, with pretty much the same features other than mine was pre-nose-cone refresh. I go back and forth all the time on whether I should have held out for an AP2 or spent a bit more to get a standard range 2019. No matter what you...

"Autopilot with Convenience Features", I think, was all AP1

Every time it gets hot and my car is in thew sun, the door handles on my S get so hot they literally burn my fingers. I've never had a car with chrome door handles that do that. Anyone else experience this?

I don't know, but that seems like an incredible deal on the S. 2017 has AP 2.0 or 2.5, refreshed front end, slightly improved interior. The 90D has great range and the later models had lower battery degradation. 9800 miles for only $48k? Those go for $60k+ on the tesla website. My guess is...

I'm confused by the key fob thing. I have a 2016 S 90D I bought two months ago. Through this update, I was able to update one of my fobs but the other says it's a v1 and is not updateable. Does that mean at some point one of my fobs was replaced with a newer one? I didn't realize the v2 fibs...

These are the clips that hold the interior trim pieces to the core sheet metal. I looked all over, and I don't suggest the variety packs on Amazon. BelMetrics carries the Tesla specific ones - the only ones I needed were: D10687 - Tesla Clip [D10687] - $0.97 : Bel-Metric, Metric Hardware...

Rattles were driving me crazy. I installed some cameras and along the way replaced some clips. See the attached image. Once I replaced clips, all the rattles are gone. Lesson - keep some of these clips in your garage!

The solution doesn't have to be sophisticated. A simple "Kid Mode" that can be enabled as a default setting by concerned parents. It just puts a huge reminder screen up with an audio cue when the door is opened " Is your child in a car seat?" Reminds people when entering (in case they forgot...

My recently purchased 2016 90D I also applied for. Still in progress, so we shall see if I get it! Hoping!

That volume synch on bluetooth with the car is interesting. I've never had that in another vehicle and as simple as it sounds, that solves some silly issues that happen off and on.

Oh interesting! If that's the case, I will turn it off going forward. Thanks for the help!

Don't you want that left on? I thought that was to prevent damage to the circuitry?

It's weird on mine, because I never leave work before 430, and it appears to just keep running all afternoon on some days. I just turned Pre-Cond off tonight and hopefully that solves the issue. I was already in the habit of turning the AC on anyways a few minutes before I leave work!

So, it's trying a bit too hard to please me then? I'll turn it off and see what happens - thanks

I believe my 2016 S90D has had the Air Conditioning come on full blast for hours on end while the car is outside in the heat. I mean it's keeping the car at 68 degrees while it's 90 outside, and running down the charge by 20 miles over the course of the afternoon. It's done this a few times...

It's more like these clips.... D10649 - Tesla Clip [D10649] - $0.74 : Bel-Metric, Metric Hardware, Metric Fasteners, Metric Bolts, Metric Nuts & Time-Sert Thread Repair Looks like can get them online at least.

Where can you get the little plastic tabs that hold the interior trim pieces in place? I believe they are just some kind of standard tab that isn't Tesla specific, but I have no idea how to get my hands on some. I've seen various videos online of guys that have broken some, but they never...

What are they asking for it? You can walk out with a brand new 0 miles Raven version Long Range 2019 for $79k less $4k in incentives. I recently bought a 2016 90D and love it, but keep thinking for a bit more I could have just bought a 2019. The gap between used 17's and new 19's can be...

Ok, never mind on question #1 - I now understand Pano roof can be either the sunroof or fixed, but at least the Tesla one is for the sunroof (2 piece)

Two Questions: 1 - Does the Tesla made roof sunshade also fit a 2016 Model S Sunroof? It says it's for the Pano roof which I have no idea if thats different Model S Panoramic Roof Sunshades 2 - Do you recommend a different brand for this purpose? I've seen some reviews of others and heard...

Ok, I know a lot of Model S owners have BlackVue cams installed. Sorry, I'm just a little confused about the Parking Mode related settings. Mine is direct wired to the 12V connection, so it always has power. I guess I kind of thought it would just always be fully on, recording full all the...

What is this "running on fumes" thing you talk about? Haha, someday our kids won't even know what that term means! But seriously, I bought my pre-refresh 2016 90D 3 weeks ago. My advice is this. Don't put off buying a Tesla - MS 75D, 90D, or 3. Once you get one, you will be kicking yourself...

Was it difficult to get the 3 plastic covers off? My AC seems weak, and thinking I should give this a check to see if I have anything in there too.

Was searching for something else and this article on Tesla's forthcoming watch app appeared: Tesla Apple Watch App The page doesn't reference a date, and the video looks super detailed of a finished app. What the heck happened to this?

Did you have any luck on this? I know we can order from the Service Center, but they're an hour away for me, and only open during working hours.

I agree - get the new one. I just bought a 2016 90D, and it's phenomenal. However, in retrospect, I wish I spent about $15k more to get a 2019 Raven S Standard Range. For all the reasons everyone mentions above. The used cars are great values, but with the tech changing so fast, it would be...

Congrats! I literally a few weeks ago had the exact same experience. I had the same reasoning as you to buy the used S, and had a very easy buying process. I ended up with a 2016 S 90D - only thing missing is the air suspension. Everything was in perfect shape (the paint is immaculate)...

Great article. I'm still confused by what a Ultimate Car of the Year honor is, in 2019 for a 2013, but the points in the article are spot on. The S and Tesla deserve a place in history for what they've done. I sell Tesla's every day now to people who just didn't understand (you're welcome Tesla)

I'll give that a shot. I've tried just about every safe cleaner I own so far and nothing comes off.

Had my first service center visit, in San Rafael, and it went really well. They took care of the stuck sliding door on my center console, fixed a rattle I had, and did a recall service I was not aware of. Also took a bunch of walk-ins, gave them loaners, etc. Staff seemed pretty knowledgeable...
