    WTB 2014-2015 Tesla Model S 85kWH in Green Metallic with Autopilot

    I am looking to buy a 2014 (or, possibly, 2015) Tesla Model S 85 or P85 in Green Metallic exterior color with Autopilot 1.0. It's a very rare combination.

    80A charging through what month?

    Having owned a Model S since June 2013 (with twin chargers), I'm contemplating upgrading to a newer Model S that still has 80A twin charging, or 40A but is upgradeable to 80A. At some point, Tesla changed the Level 2 charging system to single 48A or single 72A with upgrade. What are the last...

    Tesla electrical repair in Los Angeles

    I am looking to replace my Master Charger for a 2013 Tesla Model S in Southern California, preferably around Los Angeles. I asked Tesla Service in the Los Angeles area already and they do not want to do it if I get the Master Charger elsewhere. ($2385.23 vs ~$500+labor.) Part numbers are...

    Bluetooth Audio AAC (codec not working)

    I have been trying to get AAC to work over Bluetooth between my Tesla Model S (mid-2013, firmware v8.1 2018.16) and my MacBook Pro (macOS High Sierra 10.13.4; hardware is mid-2014). I followed the instructions on MacRumors to enable AAC (and aptX, which is not supported anyway), but the...

    Nintendo Switch + Model S

    Passengers in my Model S (2013, fwiw) want to play Nintendo Switch, preferably using the Model S sound system. :) How can this be done? The Switch supports 3.5mm headphone jack out and HDMI out (with dock). However, with the Switch 4.0.0 firmware update, USB Audio devices are supported for...

    Model 3 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth speeds and capabilities

    What are the Model 3's Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules capable of? Model S and Model X are stuck with 2.4GHz 802.11g and Bluetooth 2.1 (I think). Here is to hoping that the Model 3 delivers more modern specifications. Any details on internal manufacturer, chipsets, and versions would be helpful too.

    Contemporary Wi-Fi and upgrades

    What are the Wi-Fi capabilities of Model S vehicles that are currently being built? When did it change? Any specs on the chipset? I have a June 2013 S and it is stuck in the 802.11 b/g 2.4GHz stone age. I asked about upgrading it, but my local service center responded in the negative. I did not...

    Center Armrest Bracket Mount for Nintendo Switch

    I am trying to figure out what the best option is to mount a Nintendo Switch to the Model S for rear passengers to play with. I tried putting the Nintendo Switch directly on the center armrests with the built-in kickstand, but not surprisingly that fell over pretty quickly. The best place to...

    Compact and Durable USB Hubs and Power Splitters

    I am looking for compact and durable USB hubs and power splitters for the Model S. What are your experiences with products that work and don't work?

    Park, Charge, (Someone Else) Move

    The thought occurred to me recently at the SJC location, that it would be nice if my car could get moved after it is done charging, as a courtesy to others who might need to use the location at peak times, if I happen to be out for a bit (long meal, etc.). Since "auto-re-park-in-nearby-space"...

    PDC (parking sensors) upgrade

    I'm in the process of getting a PDC (parking sensors) upgrade to my May 2013 60 MS. Has anyone else gone for this? It would be good to get more intelligence on it: how much, how long it takes, where the "VIN breakpoint" is, and how much additional functionality is added compared with newer...

    Renting out my Model S in late October and mid-November

    Looks like I'm going to be out of town from Los Angeles again for the end of October (final week, October 26-November 2) and the second week in November. I hate to have my Model S sitting unused, so I thought I would ask around if someone wants to give it a go for a week. I find it safer and...

    Options to rent out my Model S in mid-July

    I'm going to be out of town from Los Angeles for the second half of July, and would not mind someone using my Model S during that time. Does anyone have experience with rent-out options?

    Improving access to free charging via sponsorships

    I was just wondering how much Tesla owners/prospectives on this forum would be interested in improving access to fee-free charging stations in your respective areas, by sponsoring charger installations.

    Seeking Avcon to Model S-Compatible Adapter

    I am still encountering chargers, such as the EVI DS-100, that have the old Avcon conductive "claw" connector. It would be helpful to use these charging stations, since they are almost never used. I am looking for an Avcon-to-"modern" adapter. It could be the new J1772, NEMA 14-50, or something...

    How to mount FasTrak transponder non-destructively

    After some trial and error, I got my Metro ExpressLanes pass (which is a FasTrak transponder) to work when it is held flush against the plastic at the top-center of the MS windshield, above the rear-view mirror. What are your suggestions for how to mount the transponder non-destructively, that...

    What version of Bluetooth in Model S?

    What version of Bluetooth hardware is in the Model S? 2.0? 2.1? 3.0? 4.0? EDR? Just curious because in my related thread, I am having problems with using my HTC Thunderbolt, and one service rep suggested that it may be because of older or incompatible Bluetooth hardware. Just thought that I...

    Cannot call or sync contacts using paired Android v4.0 (HTC Thunderbolt)

    Has anyone had this problem or figured out a solution? I got the MS one month ago. For the first few days phone pairing and calling worked fine. However, since then, my Android v4.0.4 phone (HTC Thunderbolt) has basically been unusable with the Model S. I can pair the phone and the car, but if...

    Best mattresses for Model S

    I measured the back of my Model S, and it is around 38.5" x 72-75" (depending on where you measure, and how far forward the front seats are). This is about the size of a twin bed. So, I was wondering: has anyone tried to put a mattress (air mattress or otherwise) in the Model S? How does it work...

    NEMA 5-20 option?

    Hi everybody; first post. I took stock of my garage situation and have determined that installing a 240V / 50A NEMA 14-50 outlet (40A effective) is not economically viable. However, installing a NEMA 5-20 outlet (16A effective) would not only be viable, but would charge the Model S 33%...
