    The first AP1 car upgraded to MCU2

    Wow! Great news. My MCU1 died 2 weeks ago in my AP0 2013 p85+. I would love to do this. I'm no expert at all, but my car is out of commission until they get MCU2 out as I refuse to pay twice (once for repair and again to upgrade). I don't know if v2020.20.12 made it on to the car before it...

    Whitefish Destination Charging?

    I'll add to the plugshare comment as my wife posted it. We stopped for breakfast at the lodge after out first trip off the supercharger network up to Glacier National Park. Tinky had posted that it was active only about 24 hrs before we were on our way home. Thankfully we have Verizon and can...

    Tesla battery swap: Post announcement discussion

    Just stopped by the battery swap location at Harris Ranch and talked to the "attendant"... 1. Beta testing is ongoing and will be for several months. After beta testing the mass trial will begin. Beta testing is to work the kinks/processes out. Mass trial is to evaluate the feasibility of...

    4 Months in the Garage with zero lasting ill effects

    So, I went to mess around with it last night after posting. I thought maybe I had to log-out and log back in to my premium account. That didn't work. So I re-read the change log. It says it does, but the wording (which is pretty bad at actually describing it) mentions playlists. So I tried...

    4 Months in the Garage with zero lasting ill effects

    After more than 4 months of non use due to being over-seas, we finally got to drive the Model S again. I'm not sure if that's the longest a Model S has sat still, but here are the things I noticed: 1. The rear suspension had sagged significantly. The top of the tire was almost completely in...

    P85D missed its scheduled charge time

    Could be a few things. Yours is a new car, but mine just started doing this recently after more than a year of working fine. At first, we thought maybe we were pressing the button while plugging the HPWC in, because they made it so that prevented it from working. Even with ensuring we are...

    Front-rear camera touchscreen parking protection switch kit reservations

    I can second the fact that for those of us who don't have the camera triggered to switch when going into reverse, the white lines show up when in reverse and the front camera on... it looks like it expects your about to launch into space, but I think that's just because I need to tilt my front...

    Can the Model S and I make things work?

    It's about 15k for the rears and 35k for the fronts. The first rear tire blew out at 5k due to a pot hole. The other side needed replacing at 15k, the pothole side then needed re-replacing at 25k. We'll probably replace all of them here soon (35k) because the fronts are finally starting to...

    Drive Unit Replacement Poll

    Just put in for one myself. They'll call me when they have a DU waiting for install. It was purely due to a low kw noise. They said it was a very annoying noise with no serious ramifications, but they would be glad to swap it due to the annoyance. It'll be the first, and it probably wasn't a...

    Unless he's an American living in Canada. I have had an innocent mix-up before (most notably my jersey was sent to someone else and theirs was sent to me). Theirs was a birthday gift, so the seller got me in contact with them and we worked for expedited shipment. It happens. I hope for the...

    In Tokyo: Also, after showing my wife that pic, she asked me to see if I could find the supercharger. It's at the Grand Hyatt in the Valet area... 2 chargers, one was iced by a porshe, the other was iced by a Ferari. I'm sure the valet's would move the other cars as necessary.... I'm counting...

    Routing suggestions are laughably bad, at least in LA traffic.

    No... It's not. It's been done for over a decade by every other major navigation system on the market. You have it display 3 options and the projected time. The user then picks based on his/her knowledge. This is a step closer because it gives the choice of 2 options, but it still doesn't even...

    Firmware 6.0

    Last time I was out of the country for more than a week was before we had the Model S... you'll at least have to wait for me to return to the U.S. to get 6.0 before you can send me away again!

    Random Model S sightings

    I know of at least one. I spent three days there last May (a year and a half ago), and low and behold there was one whose owner worked at the building right next to the hotel I was staying in. It was an awesome chance to show my family the car I was about to get (I was about 3 weeks from delivery).

    Firmware 6.0 (beta version discussion)

    I agree. I'm an android user (with an iPad). The difference in support is clear. That being said, I do think that if they had reason to wait for some feature from one or both, they would.

    Firmware 6.0 (beta version discussion)

    Everyone is feeling like 6.0 is short of what we expect for something that took so long, but maybe it actually was Massive as hyped by Elon and others.... But We instead received 65% of it in 5.9 - 5.12, and we will receive the last 10% in 6.1 those all came out between the announcement of 6.0...

    Firmware 6.0 (beta version discussion)

    Not totally true. A lot of expectations were based around the navigation enhancements making the car more in tune with things that are energy drags like hills and wind. This was pretty much brought up by Elon Musk as one of the highlights of 6.0. It wasn't what I was really excited for, but a...

    Tesla adds Titanium Underbody Shield to Model S

    Yes. I weighed in before and after the under body titanium was installed. 20 pounds and no impact on range (definitely not 1%- 2%, although there is more like a 15% variation just in daily differences).

    Per your suggestion, I did talk to Peter. We ran into each other at the supercharger in Gilroy. He had never heard the sound my car was making. We ran it behind a strip mall, so we got lots of echo effect. He then suggested we run his car, now that he knew what to listen for. Sure enough...
