I appreciate your accurate post regarding insurance. Public perception of how insurance works is often far from correct. Your third paragraph will be enlightening to many. Determining accurate risk categories is valuable in the insurance arena. Tesla's insurance, still available only in...

I've had several different types of Smart Summon failures -- warming up, can't connect, button doesn't appear, and probably a couple of others. I'm going to try some of the suggestions above, but I'm confused as to the software versions. I'm seeing a lot of 2021.24.xx or 2021.25xx. I got...

I live nearby and went by the site tonight. The road has been repaved since the Google Streets picture posted earlier. One of the attachments shows the street looking back from the wreck site. It's a different color for about the last 150 feet before the crash, but the road is smooth all the...

I'm not sure if this will work on the Model 3 as it does on my S, but when I'm banned from FSD "until the end of the trip" I can pull off to the side, put it in Park, then start again. If you're on a highway with stoplights, you need not waste the 15 seconds. Just wait until the next...

My girlfriend says you should take half the wrap money and bribe your wife with jewelry. $15k is a pretty good steal, though.

Obvious question, but will it still be a steal after you've paid $5k - $7k just for the color? I prefer white as well, but got a great deal on a blue Model S. People rave about the color and I've grown to like it too.

I guess my public school education failed me. It could be in the math part on comparing two strings of numbers or how often something needs to happen to be "200% of the time". Or maybe it was in language arts regarding the meaning of the word "exactly".

The dot appeared to me yesterday for the first time after downloading 2020.12.5 recently. I was in FSD mode, approaching a congested intersection around a turn. There was a traffic light, but it was green. There was no problem as I approached, but there was an audio warning and a big red...

It may be a perhaps temporary peculiarity of the individual stations. A prior poster was getting 175 Kw and showed a picture that indicated he was at the station closest to the main unit. I was at the second station. I can't think of any reason some stations aren't up to speed yet, but that...

I stopped by tonight that about 6:30 p.m. and developed a philosophical question. If a Nissan Leaf is blocking a charger, is it ICE-ing? After a couple minutes of warmup, I peaked at about 155 Kw. For my Model S this represented a peak gain of about 525 mph. Including the Leaf, six of eight...

Good thought, Drax. I'll try to get down below 40% to see if it will charge faster initially and will watch the taper.

I went by this afternoon after you (3:15) and got about 45 Kw as well. Coincidentally, I was at the same 69% SoC as your earlier visit. At first I thought it was 'free' also, as it didn't show up on my car's display. However, when I got home and checked my online account, the charge was...

This morning at 11:00 a technician was at work and all the covers were off the stations. He said he had hoped to be finished today, but didn't think he would be. He said that after he finished, "the contractor" had to do something to get things working. Asked when the station would be...

I drove by this morning at about 7:45. Covers were still on the individual stations, so no charging yet. Some of the stations were ICE-d, but all the spots on the back of the building, closer to the entrance, were empty. From that I infer management has directed employees to park far away...

I learned little at Tesla today. The tech and I smart-summoned the car and went for a drive. Nothing happened with the unlocking and the dome lights. He said it could still be intermittent, happening only after a smart summon, but not after every smart summon. It's in their system, so maybe...

Many thanks for these last two posts. I will discuss with Tesla when I pick up my car tomorrow.

I was hoping for a bit better than this but got about what I expected after reporting the problem to Tesla. I sent an email to the local service department who said to schedule an appointment. From the appointment, I received a text just now indicating the car was ready and the information...

It IS a bit annoying that they don't have your particular model and its range on the trip maps, but it's relatively easy to get around it by selecting the model with the closest range. You should be able to find something within 10-20 miles or so which is a good enough approximation. But my...

I watched a YouTube video with a couple of guys who drove a Tesla (I think M3) up and back down some local mountain, checking the usage in each direction. I don't remember the details, but thought their reasoning was good. They estimated they regenerated about 25%. I must have knowledgeable...

DJP31 -- Thanks for your note. Interestingly, I had the experience again just last night, two minutes into the drive and with the open padlock. I hadn't noticed the open padlock before, and the lights went out when I tapped the padlock. I will report the time and situation to Tesla. I have...

VERY interesting. The reason the mobile tech was at my house was to fix an issue with the rear glass that wouldn't open far or quickly enough to open the door without scraping. My issue with the dings and lights hasn't occurred since the repair about ten days ago, but it happened infrequently...

This is on a 2018 Model S 100D, FSD with HW3 and Firmware 2019.40.50.7 Several times over the last 4-5 months, I've received two bells like the sound you get before hooking up your seat belt. At the same time, the dome lights come on and then stay on for 20-30 seconds. There are no warnings...

Thanks for these posts. I complained about not having "Come to Me" at my last service and was told it was a phone issue. After installing the app on a tablet and on a friend's phone to no avail, I figured I'd been given bad info. Thanks to this forum, I turned on the Standby Mode and the...

Were you able to plug in and didn't get a charge, or unable to plug in using the button on the plug? I'm just wondering if the button to open the charge port is on the same circuitry as the charging system. Thanks to Hungry Asian for starting this thread, and to you and all others who have...

Less than 18 hours after the update to version 10, I received another update! It's now 32.11 bac8c51

Either my app hadn't updated or I wrote down the prior version number of my software. The actual update to version 10 is 2019.32.10.2 283497f. This appears to be the same version that Saghost got on his Model X. Again, mine's Model S 100D with after sale upgrade to.FSD . I'd report AP and MCU...

New here and evidently ill-knowledged. I'd like to vote, having received Version 10 last night. How can I find which AP and which MCU I have? Thanks.

Thanks kaffine!

My Model S 100D got 2019.32.2.2 da 05838 last night. My manufacture date is July 2018. I upgraded from EAP to FSD when they dropped the price from $6,000 to $3,000 about six weeks ago. I'm a bit confused about the software designations. I read that the digits after the year represent the week...

20 mph = 40 miles in two hours. Still not wonderful, but it gave great peace of mind for getting back to the Greensboro supercharger after driving around town for a few days. Since getting my Model S in March I've found travel pretty convenient, and the home charger very convenient...

I was in Roanoke in May and charged for a couple of hours at Magic City Motors. This is a Ford dealership that has two FREE J1772 connections. I gained about 20 mph on my MS 100D. Since there are only two stations, you may want to call first to see if one is available.
