    WTB /WTT for TPMS gen 1 set (Baolong or a Baolong clone)

    Use caution buying as the batteries die after about 6 years. You would need to test for signal. Also then have car reprogrammed to the new sensors. More money. I am in same situation with a Bao Long system. I have been cloning my original TPMS to a new set of Autel ones you can get on Amazon...

    Changing tires DIY?

    For air suspension vehicle only. Go to Service ….Jack mode. Must initiate car by stepping on brake to allow the feature to be selectable. I carry a 1.5 ton aluminum one from harbor freight. Works just fine. Originally I had a bottle jack but realized it wouldn’t fit if needed. Solution would...

    Tire sensors

    I just use Autel MX sensors in my multiple sets of wheels. I have a 2013 also with the Bao Long system so the IDs have to match the original programmed in the TPMS receiver. Easy to clone. Better than having Tesla reprogram car to wheels each time. You can get a set of 4 sensors for about...

    Opinions Wanted: Upgrade to MCU2

    I just tried. Both USB ports same results. Played song part way opened door, got out and left about 20 minutes. Came back opened door and is quiet. Screen shows choose media source and defaults to Tidal with a big QR code to set up. It should default to USB at least if one is present. Not to a...

    Opinions Wanted: Upgrade to MCU2

    That stinks about your trim. Someone took a shortcut because the Tesla manual says to tape the trim to prevent that from happening. I had mine taped already when I took it in since I took it apart myself. The flasher and the glovebox switches have their own wires to connect to each button...

    Opinions Wanted: Upgrade to MCU2

    Thanks for the MCU2 tips. I haven’t driven much since the upgrade to explore it but great to know. I’ll have to play around with it. I guess I’m just used to the manual never working in MCU1 lol I’m just happy no more lava lamp looking screens and the leaking gel smell is finally starting to fade.

    Opinions Wanted: Upgrade to MCU2

    Lucky you. Not so lucky here. Heck. No luck. Went to pull out of garage yesterday both screens blank. Didn’t power on. After awhile could get into gear and back out. Drove back and forth in the driveway a little. Tried scroll reset. Nothing seemed to happen. Another another minute or two it...

    Opinions Wanted: Upgrade to MCU2

    Yes that was nice they transferred settings and streaming channels. All but Homelink. Be prepared for an entrance gate or garage not to open. Will need reprogrammed with appropriate transmitters.

    Opinions Wanted: Upgrade to MCU2

    Hopefully that date holds. Did they confirm they have the parts? If not, expect another reschedule. I think mine changes three times. The day the parts came in they let me know and I brought it to them the same day. Had to leave it as they say it takes a lot of time sometimes to get all the...

    Opinions Wanted: Upgrade to MCU2

    No I did not add the tuner. $1500 plus tax. Invoice shows zero for labor. I don’t think I ever turned the FM radio on in the car in over 8 years. Never bothered with XM either. The streaming was good enough for me. Besides from what I read it is $500 at time of MCU upgrade or if later still...

    Opinions Wanted: Upgrade to MCU2

    I originally bought the Pre loaded SD card from Tesla. Had the car mostly apart already. When I found out about the MCU2. I decided to hold off bothering with the SD card change and returned it. I thought it was only going to be 10-12 days for the MCU parts order. After I kept getting delay...

    Opinions Wanted: Upgrade to MCU2

    Maybe some of these screen shots will help answer your question. There is a button of three dots that opens a window with 12 apps of things to access. The last two you used then appear to the right of the three dot button for easy access to those apps. The screen shot of the theater app May...

    Opinions Wanted: Upgrade to MCU2

    Parts came in last week and I got the MCU2 upgrade done. I don’t really like that the font on the speedo and the letters and numbers on the trip for the instrument screen are a different font than MCU1. They are a little shorter yet fatter. Think zeroes 0 now being more like letter O and perhaps...

    Ugh. Didn’t want to see that. Placed parts order beginning of February. Still no word of even shipping as of today.

    Opinions Wanted: Upgrade to MCU2

    Sorry I knew it was long winded but thought it may help somebody that stumbles across it. Funny how it seems lots of reports of the same nav database failing all within the last month or so. Starting to think may not be the SD card and something to do with the last update. I was told the SD...

    Opinions Wanted: Upgrade to MCU2

    Same car same mileage and same problems. The SD card for nav repair is $300. I decided to tackle it myself. The SD card from Tesla preloaded is $20. (They gave me a 16gb Gigastone) Any old SD card would work. Download time of 4.5 hours plus on real good WiFi to download I was told. I went to...

    2015 Model S Nav Map SD Card Swap?

    Jeremy0916. Thanks for the posts. Mine keeps giving an error code MCU_w007 Navigation database not loaded. Connect to WiFi. Doesn’t download anything. I got Tesla estimate for the fix at $285 labor and $20 Micro SD card. Just wanted to say thanks for the posts as I plan on figuring out how to...

    2015 Model S Nav Map SD Card Swap?

    Thanks for the posts. Mine won’t load the database. My estimate came back at $285 labor and $20 for the card. I’ll be tearing it apart myself so I appreciate your posts.

    TPMS reset on V10

    Thanks for the quote. I’ll stick to old school. Haven’t needed PSI indications for 6 years anyway lol. I got the Autel ones and the MaxiTPMS pad to program them. It’s $50 Amazon and just need a laptop. Very easy and can reprogram them as I understand so you can reuse them for either the BaoLong...

    TPMS reset on V10

    Did you try a dual scroll wheel reboot? You could try a wheel configuration switch to another wheel and then back to the ones you have right afterward. Just make sure all are at the correct PSI first. Sounds like you should have Tesla work that out since you paid for it. Possibly programmed...

    Wanted Gen 1 TPMS model S

    Yes that seems to be the consensus currently. Tesla software update removed the button to reset for a different set of gen 1 sensors. Gen 2 TPMS receivers and sensors is not needed. Seems they ignored the needs of the first 50k cars. Multiple things have been tried by many members. Two seemed...

    Wanted Gen 1 TPMS model S

    Thanks Saleen09, I plan to try the Autel cloned ones. Realizing no more reset button I don’t think the Baolong will be useable without a Tesla visit unless I find another way. Mark

    Wanted Gen 1 TPMS model S

    Thanks Hank. I think I found a way to clone mine with third party universal ones. That way I don’t have to have Tesla reprogram the car to match the sensor IDs and I can swap wheels freely avoiding the SC. Used to be able to with the A or B wheel selection. So many times I wished I could...

    Wanted Gen 1 TPMS model S

    Hank's list and Jerry's add ons are My same complaints.:cursing: If not too late add me to the list. Never pushing that update button again! Unfortunately another drive unit ordered again so I guess I'll be stuck when they change it. 8 week wait for a drive unit? :rolleyes:Noisy and higher...

    Add to your list the cost of permits for such a prime (sarcasm) location:rolleyes:

    Supercharger - Plantation, FL

    Oh boy. That's probably 17 Plantation permits and inspections to move the signs:scared: Cant move the stops the cords won't reach. Solution: longer charge cable. Business idea: Someone needs to make a Supercharger extension cable:wink:

    Supercharger - Plantation, FL

    Shows up now in car for supercharger location. Use Caution: Tight fit for cable length unless you back up vehicle body over the concrete bumper stop which bottom of car clears by about 3/4". May be less if on low. I just made the cable length stopping as soon as concrete bumper disappeared...

    Firmware 7.0 - For Classic Model S

    Sure it does. It is that much more to take a hit selling it because what was great I now really dislike and find contrary to everything tesla has done in the past. I see zero benefit from V 7. Oh unlock? Press P. Nope none seems to be an improvement from what I had.

    Firmware 7.0 - For Classic Model S

    Not at all on a $120,000 purchase that is now not what I wanted and nowhere near the quality and innovation of technology. Leading reason I purchased it. Now someone else's decision to put me in a position of losing a lot of money or hating driving something I loved driving last month. Dumb it...

    Firmware 7.0 - For Classic Model S

    Thanks thats just a start to my long list. Anyone that has read this thread would already know the enormous list of ...... Know if and what gear it is and what direction it will go because the indication is behind a steering wheel is a problem. Don't know of any car that it isn't front and...

    Firmware 7.0 - For Classic Model S

    Unless you have a classic and got suckered into V7 thinking it would be an improvement. I still hate it and car remains garaged until they come to their senses. Soon to give up and sell it because it's my car. No longer theirs and I should have a choice. It was fun while it lasted but now...

    Firmware 7.0 - For Classic Model S

    Exactly what I thought. Not a safety feature as it has driver eyes more heads down than looking out. Potential now greater for a front end crash. The whole purpose of deceleration lights is to help prevent rear end crashes. If you are worried about the drivers behind, use your mirrors if you...

    Firmware 7.0 - For Classic Model S

    Always been able to do that if you have the charging page of controls displayed. Having rear view camera displayed if equipped gives better indication. Noted always come on >30kw on high regen. Not on low. Unless maybe downhill. Now you know why people get pissed when they get passed on the...

    Firmware 7.0 - For Classic Model S

    I hate not being able to tell if you are in P R D Or N if parked and the wheel is turned slightly. Having to turn the wheel to verify it is going to go the way you want is technology backwards for sure. Car is parked and I'm back to driving my truck until they figure out a large majority of...
