    Loose driver's seat – considering class action

    Is it possible the sound is actually the leather side bolster contacting the center console as the seat rocks? That's the annoying sound my seat makes while driving. It comes out as a creaking sound. I apply Krytox grease every ~4 months to silence it.

    eMMC recall reimbursement

    This smells like a valid class action lawsuit to me. Does anyone know an attorney that takes on class actions? I have no idea how to get something like this started.

    eMMC recall reimbursement

    When I figured out what my problem was, it was January 2020. All the comments in the TMC thread were talking about quotes of $1200-$2500 at the time, mostly in the neighborhood of $2000. I decided that since the price was similar at The Electrified Garage in NH that I wouldn't even bother asking...

    eMMC recall reimbursement

    I'm another person who got a 3rd party repair reimbursement rejected. When I got the initial reply rejecting my claim (in February) I was livid. They didn't tell my why they were rejecting it, just referred me to an FAQ page that didn't say anything about the qualifying conditions at the time. I...

    Loose driver's seat – considering class action

    I have a 2016 pre-facelift. The driver's seat was rocking pretty badly when I initially took delivery of the car. They replaced the chair once, it was still rocking. I took it back, they said the other SC that replaced the chair somehow cross-threaded the bolts and that they fixed it. It was...

    How I fixed my air suspension leak for $1.00

    My car was manufactured in February 2016 and seems to have a very different configuration inside. All my air lines are colored by their destination. The thing mounted immediately next to the air line in the original photo is almost a foot away. All the air lines have spacers on them to keep them...

    Air Spring Suspension Leak

    I just noticed a new thread that might be interesting for anyone else following this one: How I fixed my air suspension leak for $1.00 The poster has images showing the hole in his air hose in the frunk and showing how it was wearing up against an adjacent wire harness. I just ordered some...

    How I fixed my air suspension leak for $1.00

    I've got a leak in my 2016 Model S suspension and I'm going to be checking to see if this is the problem. What sort of epoxy did you use to fix it? Do you think something like this would be strong enough? It says 3300 PSI on the package, which is easily greater than 87 PSI. Is that really all...

    Air Spring Suspension Leak

    My 2016.0 Model S is starting to have a problem (or maybe I'm just starting to notice the problem?) that the rear passenger corner lowers down all the way after the car has been sitting idle for about 1.5-2 days. I've also noticed that the car is getting... angry about going over speed bumps...

    Drivers seat a tad loose

    I found that if I adjust the seat to be all the way down the rocking stops. It's almost like there are two interconnected pieces that are not moving at the same rate in the electric motor mechanism, creating play as the seat travels up. I keep my chair permanently adjusted all the way down...

    Slacker Radio Tip for New Owners!

    I installed Focal Expert line speakers (PS 165 F3 and PS 165F) in all the standard positions, added an Expert-series sub (P25F) in the rear diver-side cubby, and added 2 4-channel class D Mosconi amps and a Mosconi 6to8 DSP. The DSP fixes up some of the horror of the low bitrate Slacker feed...

    Slacker Radio Tip for New Owners!

    There's a much bigger caveat here. The web interface's setting for audio stream quality does not apply in your car. It's stored in a local cookie on the browser. I have confirmed this fact with slacker support. Logging in in the browser and changing the quality will have NO IMPACT on the bitrate...

    Pressure Buffeting - Has anyone experienced it?

    My understanding is that this problem is because the rear liftgate tends to vibrate up and down naturally as the car drives. There are three stoppers on either side of it to help absorb the movement. The problem is that the slight movement is creating an effect where the air inside the cabin...

    Help with Slacker

    As of the 8.0 firmware that settings app was eliminated. When you go to the streaming tab in the media player there's a log out button at the bottom. Press it to log out and you will be offered the screen to enter your own account info. If you have the premium audio system you will also have an...

    Drivers seat a tad loose

    I ended up having to get my driver's seat replaced twice because of lose rocking issues. For me it wasn't even under hard acceleration - you could just feel it moving when breaking or accelerating normally. The second replacement turned out to probably be unnecessary. When they went to install...

    Tesla allows slacker sign in n bitrate

    The bitrate is sent as a query parameter to the Slacker URL for the stream. Whoever generates that URL dictates the stream format, and my car is dictating ACSv2 40kbps. It sounds really, really bad.

    Wierd radio issue

    I'm also affected by this. It's good to know I'm not the only one - it means I don't need to bother asking service about it. Has anyone reported this to [email protected]?

    Tesla allows slacker sign in n bitrate

    I asked Slacker directly to check from logs the stream format my car pulled, and they said my car with standard audio requested an AACv2 at 40kbps stream. The stream sounded terrible, which is why I asked in the first place. They assured me that the stream format was entirely at the request of...

    Slacker Radio Tip for New Owners!

    Tesla doesn't regularly read these threads AFAIK, so please email them. They definitely respond to their owners when they hear that we're unhappy about something, we just need enough people to let them know there's a real problem here.

    8.0 and high bit rate Slacker question.

    I want to add in here some important bits of info I've recently found out via Slacker support. In the 8.0 firmware Tesla removed the high bitrate feed option from all cars with the base audio package. There is no way to make your base audio car play directly from Slacker a stream which will not...

    Problem with Slacker Media

    FYI for premium audio cars the high quality stream option is now at the login screen for Slacker. The high quality feed option was removing from all base audio cars in 8.0. I asked Slacker support to pull log data to see what my car was asking for, and it was AACv2 40kbps. They might as well...

    I want to update this thread with some new info I've gotten out of Slacker about this issue. As of the 8.0 firmware, the "high bitrate stream" option moved to the Slacker login screen. BUT (and this is a major BUT), they have completely removed the stream quality option from all cars with the...

    Where are my Slacker custom stations?

    I figured out my problem finally. Apparently you can mark your custom stations as being "favorites" in the Android app. If that option is exposed in the web ui I haven't and still can't find it. After I added the station as a favorite I had to log out in the car log in again to get the stations...

    Where are they listed? I see favorites at the top, and it's not there. After that is genres, the. DJ stations, then something else. I can't find the custom stations listed anywhere.

    Where are my Slacker custom stations?

    One of the less awesome changes in the 8.0 firmware was that we seem to have lost support for Slacker custom stations. I've been patiently waiting for them to come back, but seeing as no one else has posted on the forum asking about them I'm forced to wonder.. am I just doing something wrong...

    Reus Audio Boston/New England Early 2017

    I just spoke with Cliff from Reus Audio. He's coming to the east coast again sometime in January for a couple jobs in New York, and I'm going to have him upgrade my 2016 90D in Massachusetts while he's in the area. If anyone around has been considering an upgrade now would be a good time to...

    Supercharger — Kingsland, GA

    This is going to be great for my Thanksgiving pilgrimage from Massachusetts to Florida. Last year I had to stop by the St Augustine outlets on black friday, you can imagine how much fun that was... Cost me about $200 too b/c I stopped to buy sunglasses while I was there :-/

    Supercharger - Seabrook, NH

    I read that as "they planted berries for us, nice and yellow!". My initial thought was "awesome! they planted fruit for us to enjoy while charging!". Then I re-read it and was less excited. Thanks for the update though!

    Supercharger - West Lebanon NH

    It may actually be safe on Black Friday. I was driving home from Florida to Massachusetts last Black Friday, and the chargers at the St. Augustine Premium Outlets were blocked off for Tesla-only parking. It took 30 minutes to get in there, but the spots were all free.

    Firmware 5.6

    In the linux driver world, there are multiple ways to get a hardware-decoded video rendering on a screen. In 4.4, they were probably using a software overlay (camera "sees", hardware driver in the kernel decodes things, software in "userspace" gets the camera image output, software draws it into...

    A few interface suggestions

    I completely agree on the break light indicator. Since the breaks are activated by deceleration, it's hard to know for sure when they activate. It's problematic on the interstate, where break lights can disrupt traffic for *miles* behind you. I'd really like to just get an acceleration gauge...

    Firmware 4.5

    I think I've found a minor regression in the media app. In the past (pre-4.5), when playing from a USB pen drive, switching back to the "browse" tab showed you where you'd left of browsing before. Now it just resets to the base of the pen drive content. This is pretty annoying since the "Now...

    Refreshing Traffic

    I've got 4.5 (-48), and have a lot of trouble forcing the traffic data to reload. In the new version, hiding and re-showing traffic data no longer refreshes the data. I have to leave it off for 2-5 minutes before the data will refresh. I'm in map not, not satellite mode. I haven't tried zooming...

    Mobile App feature requests

    Would be nice to send map data (addresses that link to google maps currently) directly to your car nav unit. Many android apps now have the sens of "sharing" and offer different things to share with. Why not make one of them your Model S?

    Linux is not a RTOS and should not be running Tesla controls

    I'd like to point out that real time with regard to operations g systems doesn't mean what the OP seems to think it means.

    Proper way to format USB thumb drive?

    I'm also having a lot of trouble getting any thumb drive to work in my MS. I have a 64GB SanDisk pen drive that worked well enough initially... Then I decided to try to put ext4 on it to resolve some problems I was having with unicode characters. It turns out this probably wouldn't have helped...

    Audio: Testing audio formats

    You got ext4 working? When I plugged in a pen drive with ext4, it hung the main screen repeatedly. It seemed like they forgot to handle a return code from the mount system call, resulting in the UI never getting whatever message it was expecting. I'll try this again tomorrow. What firmware...

    Mt. Washington Auto Road in a Tesla?

    I'm interested, but it's something like 180+ miles for me to get there from Marlborough, MA. I'd definitely need to charge for several hours to make the climb I expect. Are there any 50A chargers nearby?

    "Charge Cable Unlatched" error (charging at 16A only)

    I love you guys. I just got my Model S today, came home, and got the same error. Turns out the charger wasn't fully clicked into the charge port, even though at first attempt it really seemed like it was. Problem solved, car now charging at 40 amps. :-D

    Hanover NH charging station?

    That's probably what I was seeing. Too bad. I bet Brandon Mountain Gap would be really fun in this car, but it'll be a while until I'm familiar enough with my range to be willing to risk 200 miles along that path. My other route option is RT-2 to MA-12 to VT-103 to VT-7. The MA-12 and VT-103...
