You should be mad at the "dealer" you bought from, not at Tesla. Clearly he misrepresented the fact that Tesla is not servicing Cyprus or selling there. There are no such things as "approved" dealers.

I have a similar vintage car (with much less miles on it - around 70KKm). I have had very little issues so far (mostly cosmetic like DRL replacement, license plate light) all covered under the general warranty but now expired. From my experience and what I read on this forum I believe that...

In France, you need to have the fob detected via Bluetooth (per regulation introduced a few years ago). This might have made it to the UK ? Rendered the features pretty useless (the Smart and the basic Summon as well).

You cannot. At least not on my S from 2018

Mine (in France) has 8 years unlimited mileage on the battery and drive train. The General warranty was 4 years and 80 K Km.

It is probably not available for all type of cars and/or battery. It is not there on my S. Too bad.

Can you elaborate on how you can run that test ? I did not see anything like it while in Service Mode. I am currently relying on Teslamate to log data (and calculate battery degradation) and it is giving me an 8% degradation which I find high (@5 years and 70K km).

It looks like it was applied outside no ?

Calling plastic based material more environmentally friendly than genuine natural material (leather, wool..) is a stretch in my opinion.

Isn't the warranty 4 years ? Liftgate latch and actuator replaced on my 2018 S just one year after taking delivery. No issue since.

I do not disagree, just sharing my experience on a 2018 S75D. Showed 50-80% for daily as a recommendation for the last 4.5 years and now shows 50-90%. It must have been pushed as part of an update. Could be a function of many things (model, age, battery type and/or degradation) or experience...

Yes, older vintages now show 90%. This has changed as they also used to show 80%. Not sure when that happens but would guess in the last 3 to 6 months.

Same here from 11% to 3% in an hour parked in cold weather before charging.

I use some basic baby wipes (water based no perfume) and it works great.

The only reliable way to know before hand which FUSC you have is to decode the option codes. In my case, 2018 S 75D, SC05 "Free unlimited Supercharging (1st owner)". My guess is Tesla will only honour those codes.

Patience is everything

In Europe all Model S starting in 2022 come ready for towing. You can then buy the tow hitch and install at home for 790€.

Lifetime premium connectivity is not on all S 2 2018 vintage. I know it expired on mine after sometime (cannot remember when exactly). I bought mine in October 2018 and premium connectivity was mentioned as limited in time.

I saw the picture, but it looks like TACC is selected. When you set it to Autosteer, NoA will appear, together with a couple warning message you have to acknowledge. That is how it works on 2023.20.9, but should also on 2020.23.7

I have the same car and it should show a toggle for NoA below Autosteer (beta). Are you sure it does not automatically appear when Autosteer (beta) is selected ?

I have been logging information using Teslamate for the past 2 years now (2018 75D Model S) and have seen the charge curve on superchargers fairly stable. As a rule of thumb, I was mostly seeing the same reference points, with some variations based on temp etc.. - 120 KW @ 20% SoC = 140 - 100...

On another video, I saw some advice on removing the first panel starting from the left and not from the right (by the door) for fear of snapping the piece in two. It looked much easier with the many clips. Any opinion on this fro those who tried ?

Impressive number on consumption when drafting. I am curious about how close you need to be to the preceding vehicle/truck ? Are you picking any rocks ?

You car should only show chargers that are compatible. But I suggest you get the upgrade to benefit from the new SC and all other network that use CCS

Definitely get the upgrade (I did). All new superchargers are CSS only so you will be left with the existing network (minus the chargers opened over the last 6 months or so).

I thought I should post this here as I was able to retrieve the invoice from the service order back in 2020 when they fixed a similar (?) issue. Apparently, the SC replaced a pair of "Shock Tower Brace". - Asy-Shock Tower Brace, RH LHD (1064611-00-B) - Asy-Shock Tower Brace, LH LHD...

Parking is included with charging. You should be fine.

Welcome to France ! I routinely travel from Paris to Geneva and in 4 years I have only waited once (15 minutes in Auxerre). And this is an old SC with only 8 stalls. The network has improve tremendously with 16/20/24 stalls stations so you should be fine. Even in July, this should not be a big...

Just to confirm, does the setup add the option to sync with the car via homeland BUT keeps the initial bisecur ? I would like to use this for my S but I want to keep the bisecure rolling code using the Hormann remotes otherwise.

I thought tire chains on rear only recommended on RWD. I took it for granted that your S is AWD. I haven’t read the manual for those but I believe chains are most efficient on the front when AWD. No issues so far (2 winters). I found they are more durable than the previous sock I used and were...

Socks on front wheels. No need to carry tow sets. I use these and they are great. Tear-resistant over-tires and snow tire sock | Musher-Antiglisse

I had this replaced under warranty. This is not a super easy job, some disassembling is needed including the chrome going from one light to the other (very carefully as it can break and the ranger mentioned this is a 300€ piece !). You have to access this from the inside of the trunk. Took the...

I had a faint but annoying clicking sound coming from my (new at the time ) 2018 MS 75D. While it came from the dash, it was originating from the front of the car and resonating through the dash. 2 aluminium bars used to stiffen the cars (best I can describe..) where flexing under certain...

I am in the same boat. I recently had one of the rear license plate light changed under warranty and also had the trunk latch and actuators replaced once. You might want to check these. I hear door handles are Gen3 and should be OK (no problem so far). DRLs have been changed once as well. Be...

Bumping this thread to address a change in more recent models (2018 S). On older models, this was super easy since you only had to unscrew the bulb holder. On my (2018 S), no screws on those. I am not sure I can pop them out with a flat screwdriver so I prefer to ask. Anyone had to do this on...

Your calculation is correct my average is not that great but in line with my driving habits and typical rides (short trips without paying much attention to consumption, AC on). I do better on long drives maybe 190/195 Wh/km. 170 is pretty good, congrats.

I have the same car and I am averaging 217 wh/km over the last 13000 km (one year so taking into account various temp). Your 350 wh/mile seems fine. The shorter trips are less efficient.

I am not too surprised by the ABRP results. I drive a S 75D and I have only rarelly done 250 km in one go (In France so similar climate as Germany). It is doable for me on the highway at 125/130 kmh between SC but would be a stretch in cold weather and does come with some range anxiety. I think...

I have replacement planned at SC under warranty next week. The quote says "Steering control switch harness (1013242-00-K)". Not related but they are also replacing my SIM card, not sure why but will ask when I get there.

Check this old thread. Not super encouraging... https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/steering-wheel-buttons-scrollers-not-working.121744/page-2

I have a similar issue but somewhat different. The right scroll wheel works fine, but both button (voice sec and selector) are unresponsive. The horn is fine. On the left side, the buttons are ok and the wheel seems to work except for silencing the musique with a press-hold... Pretty...

How did you get your white seats to show. Is this also part of the Colorizer ?

you can pick wheel size on the S. I am surprised you cannot in the 3.

I would also have preferred a correct visualisation of the car as is, without the customisation. Like matching the interior color instead of having it only black in app or in car. White seats are part of the config known to Tesla. That should be an easy fix.

My car is the same vintage, with only a bit more mileage. So far the only issues I have had, all under warranty was changing the latch of the trunk, and the headlights (DRL LED fried as many have experienced). Pretty pain free experience.

Cars that are still under EAP (Enhanced-AP now discontinued) get 1 to 4. Given the current status of FSD in Europe that is pretty much the same at that stage as 5 and 6 do not add anything yet.

Prices in France Subscription Cost kWh WITH subscription 12.99 €/month 0.40 €/kWh WITHOUT subscription – 0.57 €/kWh

It is now officially opened in France. Counting 12 superchargers of all size. https://www.tesla.com/support/non-tesla-supercharging

Yes, I know. This is however not consistent with what the ranger was saying.

I was under the impression that non-tesla charging on SC was only being experimented in the Netherlands on 10 SCs. A few days ago, I tried and supercharged at the Parly II SC on a Saturday. As seems to be the usual, half of the stalled were ICed. One user was actually driving a Mini e and was...
