So this is a new "d**k" move I saw at the supercharger. I watched a guy back his car in to the spot, then move forward and move the car over so he was 6 inches over the left line, then got out, plug in and walked off. The net result was he was using the A charger and blocked the B one so he...

I can't edit the title that should read MCU and CCS Upgrade, it is MCU2, perhaps a mod can fix it for me :/ --- My Model 3 is almost here so time to sell the S. Enhanced Autopilot, MCU upgraded, FSD Computer and AP, CCS Upgrade, Arachnid Wheels, Free Unlimited Supercharging, Free Premium...

I'm looking to replace my S with a 3, I'd love a new S but they aren't coming soon. When I got my S it at a sweet spot, AP2, free supercharging, no luxury car tax. Is there a sweet spot on buying a 3, bigger battery is on Wiki but I can't find much out about that, is there any cut off date...

The wife and I are thinking of an impromptu weekend in the lake district next weekend but looking at charging it looks like a barren spot. Tebay for the supercharger and a few podpoints around. Does anyone have any fast charging recommendations, of even a nice hotel with destination charging...

I'm bouncing back and forth on new Model 3 vs newer S to replace my S. The current car has free premium internet which is nice for the maps and traffic. Does anyone know the current UK tax monthly price of internet if I get a used S?

Do you know a guy? Is Delboy involved? My accountant tells me that if I'm going to buy a new car with the company I really should do it within this year of my company's books. Originally I wanted to hold out for an S and a 2020 used S is still on the table. But does anyone know someone to...

I like my Model S but it's 5 years old now. Totally sold on the EV concept but the new S's aren't coming here anytime soon. So what do I look for, the Y or 3 seems like a step down for a smaller car. The Taycan and EQS are just a little to expensive. Polestar is a great upgrade if you are a...

On a trip to London this weekend I was given the parting gift of having my 2017 Black Model S Keyed :( This has tipped the balance with me finally getting someone to fix up the 100,000 miles of existing scratches and paint chips and try to make the car look nice again. I chatted to local paint...

When I look at new Tesla's there is almost no deals available, pick your wheels and colour. But then I read how people got free wheel upgrades, EAP, lower price, free supercharging, premium connectivity etc.. Where do you find these details?

So I've heard of "Chrome Delete" but is there an equivalent service for chrome putting back on? My Model S has shiny 21" Arachnid wheels and since I've got them clean and fixed, they make the car look awesome. I'm still wanting a new S but the car has no chrome. Even the 21's are grey, I'd...

Question for the US people who already have the new look S while us Europeans have to wait. Are there any options that aren't on the list, looks like I pick wheels, interior, AP and colour. That's it. Were there any other options on your US order that we haven't seen yet and more...

I think this might be important enough to deserve a sticky :) I was out the other weekend and needed to charge at about lunchtime near Barnsley and I discovered the supercharger was at Tankersley Manor Hotel, they had a very pleasant bar serving food. The sandwiches and a half of shandy took...

I am trying to decide on an MCU upgrade but don't want to pay £400 for the DAB radio option. I tried TuneIn on my MCU1 and quite a few stations work but Magic and Absolute 80's come up "Loading Error", can someone with a newer MCU confirm if it works OK with their systems so it is the old MCU...

I think I've decided to keep my 2017 S for the forseeable future and put in the upgrades. Today I got quoted for an MCU/AP upgrade, the radio addition and the CCS adapter. The CCS adapter at £230+VAT seems reasonable The computer at £1300+VAT seems reasonable The Radio option so I can use...

I currently have a 2017 Model S 75 and am quite happy with it but the miles are rolling up and it just feels to big. But there is almost nothing wrong with it and it has some nice features I'd like to keep as I debate trading it out for a newer Model 3. Model S - Cons: Has AP2 and MCU 1 so it...

Is there anyway to look at which moderator makes actions and talk to them? I just posted for a recommendation for an electrician and it has been merged onto page 3 of another thread. No one is going to read that, the only way you can find it is search it. It seems like this post has had the...

I have been annoyed for a year or so that my car had its supercharging maxed out at 80KW because of excessive supercharging. I haven't supercharged for a couple of weeks but imagine my surprise when I charged today and I am back to 120KW!!! I don't know if this is luck or did I miss the...

Hi all, I just got up this morning to find the 4 way flashers have been going all night on my car after an update to 2020.48.37. Couldn't get them to turn off, rebooted car, wouldn't turn off, drive, wouldn't turn off, turn car off again and press the hazard warning button while the thing was...

I couldn't find this in the other threads so thought the statement would be useful Today I decided I'd give Gridserve Braintree a shot even though it wasn't on my Model S's GPS. Turns out this is because the Tesla chargers don't have Type 2 connector I'd need for 2017 Model S. Just CCS...

My max supercharger charge rate has been locked to about 256mph or 80KW, I vaguely remember this being "Chargegate" and because of overuse of the supercharger network and/or fire risk to the battery. Any hooooo, I know this applies to the older 120KW chargers, but does it still apply at the new...

Had this happen three times yesterday. 2017 Model S, EAP 2.0 First time I was driving and wasn't paying attention, the car kerbed it on the left hand side (probably a couple of hundred pounds of damage to the rims) and I was thinking maybe I hadn't put the AP on when I thought I had and was...

I was considering going down to Beachy Head tomorrow and just noticed there are no super chargers around the M23 and I'll be coming down past Heathrow, the round trip is 178 miles from the Supercharger which is getting close to the 220 range even if I sat and waited to charge to 100% before...

First of all we have a lot of Octopus and other Energy provider posts on here as it is one of the biggest expenses of owning the car. I wonder if we should petition the site admins for a sub forum on this so we don't end up with huge posts with irrelevant details. Thoughts? But the main...

I just scrolled down the Daily F(M)ail's web page and saw a coronovirus story about Norway, but imagine my surprise when I saw this? Any other interesting conversions out there for an S?

I took a long trip today, taking the car from 100% full to 11% before charging. As I watched the trip counter and the percentage charge remaining I got to doing the maths in my head and if the percentage is close to accurate and the kWh on the trip counter is too I have a capacity of...

Does anyone know of some EV Friendly (or even Tesla Friendly) camp sites in the Dordogne? After this time spent in lockdown I'm thinking summer might be a road trip with a tent and I'd hate to have to pick the location based just on the nearest Supercharger. I guess a bigger question is, is...

While my car was at the Service centre they loaned me a brand new Model S 75D with 285 miles on it, Mine is 2017 70. I have to say I was underwhelmed with 2 years of advances, the centre screen graphics are a little smoother and Careoke, the main console had slightly nicer visualizations. This...

2017 Model S, 60,000 miles. I have had increasing problems with the steering on the car and put it down to the power steering and got an appointment for the service centre, before going though a bit of research about why it was so stiff to turn the steering wheel every quarter turn and someone...

So I think I've figure out my "power steering" issue (2017 S 70), I put the car on a jack to look at the steering and saw that the insides of both front tires are torn up, MOT fail type bad and not really that safe to drive. My local tire place will do the tires but doesn't want to touch the...

Does any one know if service centres are running at the moment? I have a power steering problem and went to make an appointment, the next mobile service appointment is in a month but it let me book Brooklands for Thursday which is unheard of.

The Car, 2017 facelift Model S 75 (unlocked from 60) with 50,000 miles on it. I got it at 35,000 miles Things I (think I) know The Superchargers at rated at 130KW/h or better, they consist of 4 chargers in a stack, on your own you get all of them, when you someone joins you lose a charger...

This is going to seem like a silly question but I've been able to survive on home charging and supercharging since I got my S 6 months ago, I'm going to more rural places so looking at the 3rd party networks to charge from but my question is. With a type 2 connector on the car, how many of the...

Does anyone have an exploded diagram of the front of a facelift 2017 model S or a picture in there? My radar is being a pain and I'm trying to see if me looking at it is doable since the car just went out of warranty. Thanks in Advance G

On the off chance someone at Tesla ever reads this I thought it would be nice to have "Can you please expand the following sites?" thread. Might be useful for those people heading that way to make plans. I'll start with Can we please have more chargers at Birchanger (Bishop's Stortford)? There...

I could be going crazy but I can't find a number for billing on Tesla's website or using their customer support phone system. I have free supercharging for life on the car and using it happily but seem to have a bill from Wednesday's charge on my account (but not Thursday's or Tuesday's) and I...

As I posted the other day someone was nice enough to put in the back door window of my Model S. I'm mildly annoyed by that but really annoyed by Autoglass so here is my warning. My current insurance company like my last one has outsourced their broken glass claims to Autoglass, £90 excess for...

I have an AP2 so no Sentry mode and someone was nice enough to put the back window in on my model S today. :( I'm gutted that they got away with my soup cup and a can of Coke but it didn't jog the car enough to get my normal dashcam to catch anything. So now I'm after recommendations for...

My Model S has the Lightning connector for an iPhone in the centre console. I want to switch it out for USB C for my S9 but I need to measure the right angled connectors. Browsing e-bay I see people are selling the right angled cable for a model 3 for £10. Does anyone with both cars know if...

I'm getting a little annoyed at my rims, I bought a 2017 S and it has the referral 21" Rims on, don't know the name, but any time I'm near a curb, if I'm in the same postal code it scratches the rims and for some reason takes chunks out of the very expensive tires. I'm considering changing the...

Just a silly thread about things that wind me up at the supercharger that really shouldn't and even make me roll my eyes at myself. Add more, but keep it light hearted. Showing up at a supercharger knowing there are 2 spare and being happy that they are A and B, you go to pull in to realise...

Today I've just installed v2019.32.12.1 and we've had some very very heavy rain. As I drove home all of a sudden I lost radar guided cruise control and autopilot and when I tried to engage it again I get a message that said unable to engage due to radar obstruction. I was thinking mud or leaf...

But not me

Does anyone have any recommendations for a shop to wrap a model S? I'm in Berkshire and am looking at a satin red or blue wrap. Rough costs would be nice too you are willing to share?

So here is my weird one. Update to 2019.32.1 Charge overnight to 100% because its 180 miles to the supercharger Leave home with 100% charge and the usual limited regen because the battery is full Get to first stop last night at about 60% charge (I've not reset the charge limit but I'm not...

As I leave home I have about 4 miles of winding 30mph roads. I turn on the autopilot and the car drives the whole route without me touching the steering wheel (maybe once). I then get on the motorway and put on the autopilot and hold the wheel because I still don't trust the car at 70mph, but...

Good morning, Does anyone have any idea how to expedite the change of ownership with Tesla I bought 3rd party? I sent them the V5 three and a half weeks ago and have once confirmed they are taking 3 weeks to change ownership. With another Telsa S in the news as being stolen because of the...

Just an idea..... Given the price of Tesla's I have to assume that the majority of their owners are a little older than average. Normally the older generation stop at the legendary National Trust tea shops to break up their journey. Surely the revenue is down at these tea shops now people...

I've been watching Youtube videos on the functions of the various cameras to help me out but wonder if anyone else has encountered this before. I have a Model S with AP2.0 which I got a week and a half ago, when I first got it the autopilot was fairly smooth on the motorway and round corners...

Posted in the S section rather than the UK section

Good evening, I've only just discovered this site and am taking a second look at a 2017 Model S tomorrow to buy, I was hoping someone could answer so questions tonight. I'm looking at a P75D (Badge on the back, Model S 60 on the V5) 2017 Model S with Enhanced Autopilot hardware from a normal...
